Line-in direct MP3 encodi

Hi,
I am considering buying a Creative Zen Neeon MP3 player, but I couldn't find any information about the recording quality of the line-in? What are the maximum bitrates for WAV and MP3 recording? Is WAV recording at CD quality?
I am interested in the line-in recording, because I need an easy method of recording from a record player, and transfering the records onto CD.

Are you using WinXP?
well basically before you start the explorer, and after you plug in the Zen Neeon you will hear a sound (usually heard when you plug in Plug-n-Play devices) and your Neeon's display will switch to the "Charging" Display. If it was turned on previously it should turn off and switch to the "Charging" display. It's the one with the Neeon and the USB sign and the computer etc..
Then to the bottom right hand of your screen a dialog box should pop up with "Organise Now"(clicking on this brings you to Creative MediaSource). This would tell you that you've successfully connected the Zen Neeon to your computer.
If all this doesn't work, try removing all software, reinstalling THEN plug in the Neeon.

MP3 Encoder Import Bitrate is not saved by ITunes

Hi!
The importing bit rate for the MP3 Encoder is not saved by ITunes.
This is obviously a bug only present in combination with special software / hardware, since several people have already have posted this problem on this forum.
I am running
- ITunes 6.0.1.3
- Windows XP Home Edition SP2
on a
HP Pavilion zd8000.
What I need to know is where these settings are stored, so that I can edit them directly to resolve the problem.
If this is not possible, how can I debug to find out what is going on?
I have reinstalled several times, and the system is not behaving consistently. I have played with different versions of ITunes. I have removed all ITunes entries in the registry between installations. I have succeeded in solving the problem, but it has reoccured.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance!

I solved the problem.
ITunes preferences are stored in a hidden directory here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Programdata\Apple Computer\ITunes\iTunes.pref
(Programdata might be called something else in the English version of XP, I have the Norwegian version...)
Close ITunes.
Open this file in a text editor that can handle binary files, for example Textpad (www.textpad.com).
Remove the two lines starting with keys
iTunes.exe:MP3 Encoder:Custom
iTunes.exe:MP3 Encoder
Start ITunes. Set your desired import bitrate.
It should now be saved - and be picked up again next time you open your preferences.
Actually it was saved all the time, but something corrupts this file disabling ITunes from picking up the correct mp3 encoder settings. I guess the 160kb/s setting is the default showing up when no settings are present.
Hope this works for others having this problem as well!

ITuned mp3 Encoder Problem

Whenever I encode songs, I do so in mp3 format (very universal). I encode at 256 kpbs. However, one time I accidently did a 192 kbps encoding, but it sounded like a 112 kbps endcoding. Then I did a 112 kbps, and I was right. Then I brough up Nero so I could view the frequency range. it was worse than the 112 kbps... what is up with that. it cut off at about 12 khz on 192.... it cut off at about 12.5 or 13 khz with 112. Then I did a 256 encoding of the same song, and it cut off at about 15khz, which was about 128 kbps normally. Then I looked at previously encoded songs using this same iTunes that I just did (6.0.2.23), and at 256 they were fine, were normal. I did that one about 2 days ago. Then I viewed songs i imported yesterday. It had those bad effect tat it does now, cutting off at 16 khz and sounding like a 128 - 160 kbps. This has NEVER happened to me before on any otehr iTunes. I was wondering if this was a glitch or is fixed in the new 6.0.3 one that was released about 3 days ago. Thanks. I appreciate any feedback.

Logic/iTunes MP3 Encoder & Soundcheck Phenomenon

I'm noticing something weird happening when listening to either the CDs I import or the tracks I bounce from Logic on my iPod when soundcheck is enabled.
When I directly choose a song to listen to, the volume is decreased a whole lot, but if I choose the immediately previous song and click "next" or "skip track" into the song, it'll be blasting very loud. If I click "previous track" from the next song into it, it'll still play very soft. Now, I'm wondering why this is happening only with my iTunes imports and my bounces from Logic and not other tracks. They play loud and fine everywhere else (CDs, web players, etc). Is it a setting in Apple's Mp3 encoder? Can anyone help me understand what's going on with what seems to be sorcery? Thanks.

the only thing I can think of is the clicking "next" or "skip track" skips the ID3 tag for some reason, perhaps clicking skip or next purposely does not read from the beginning of the file so as to avoid a click or pop.
The Sonar w/LAME encoder does not include ID3 info so there's no normalization.
Another example of possibly doing a bit too much for the user. You don't want to use Sound Check anyway, why would you want everything at or close to the same volume?
Sound Check - Sound Check is a feature of iTunes, that can be used on the iPod, that normalizes the volume of the songs in your iTunes library. Because songs are recorded at different volumes and with different technologies over time, the volume that they play back at can be different. Sound Check scans your iTunes library and attempts to bring the volume of all songs in it into rough equivalence. It does this by scanning the playback volume of songs in the library and adjusting the "normalization information" ID3 tag for the song.
Sound Check does not actually change the volume of the orignal song.
Sound Check can be used with iPod playback as well. As long as it is enabled in iTunes, the Sound Check-enhanced songs will transfer to the iPod and play at a roughly equal volume.
Sound Check can be applied to MP3, AAC, WAV, and AIFF files.

Wave Stuido 6.0 - MP3 encoder

I have Creative Wave Studio 6.20.4 with MP3 encoder and Wave Studio 7. without MP3 encoder.
I don't recall if WS 6.20.4 came with the MP3 encoder or if I upgraded it to include the MP3 encoder. I don't seem to find anything on my system about upgrading WS 6.20.4 to include MP3, so what I'm asking is if WS version 6.xx came with a MP3 encoder or it that was an extra cost item, before I go nuts trying to find upgrade info (like a key) that doesn't exist because it was part of the standard Wave Studio 6.xx and not a upgrade.

Restoring MediaSource 3.30.21 MP3 encoding functionality in MediaSource 5, in Vi

I own the Zen Sleek Touch Photo. I have been for the last year or two been using MediaSource 3.30.2
I read from Creative that I could retain MP3 encoding functionality in MediaSource 5 as long as I
kept MediaSource 3.30.2 installed. This is fine all except for the problem that I can't successfully
install MediaSource 3.30.2 in Vista automatically. However, I am fully capable of manually installing
whichever piece of MediaSource 3.30.2 that flags MediaSource 5.
There are only a few directorys and places in the registry that MediaSource 3.30.2 installs to.
I'd like to know which file or registry string, or combination MediaSource 5 looks for, for the
encoding functionality.

Well, I gave up trying to get mediasource5 to work, and let me encode mp3s. So I found it easier to hack mediasource 3 to install into vista 64bit. It works.
To enable MP3 encoding in MediaSource v5 you need to buy the Creative MP3 Audio Pack. http://buy.soundblaster.com/_creativ...FX685ASKJBLYY2 The pack includes the MP3 plug-in (composed of 2 files), so you are wasting your time trying to enable it in the Registry.

MP3 encoder VBR Options doesn't work anymore

Hi everyone !
I always used iTunes mp3 encoder to rip my CD's with the VBR option ON and it worked fine until now.
Indeed since 10.3 the VBR option doesn't seem to be working no more : the output is a CBR mp3 file either I tick or not the VBR option box !
Does anyone have the same problem ? Is there a way to solve this issue ?
Thank you

We can't know. You have not provided any system info or other useful technical details.

As3 mp3 encode problem

Hi,
We are developing an app that could play mp3s from a music store. We found that the downloaded mp3 from the store can't play be as3's Sound class. The file's information can be load, but just not to play. Same code (something like new Sound(); load(urlrequest);play();..) will work to some of other mp3s. I've searched from internet. Looks like this is only way to play mp3s by AS3. Some older AS2 code could play these mp3s by sound.loadSound(). I don't understand why the old method is better than the newer one, and it is in same flash editor and player. I re-encoded the mp3s by Adobe Media Encoder, and the AS3 player will work. But I can't do it for every customer's downloaded mp3. From internet, I can't find what is the specification of Flash friendly mp3 Encode. And every other mp3 player can play these mp3s even Flash AS2.
Please help!
Andy

The reason I listed as3 and as2 code with local mp3 is showing you even the code is simple like that, it is still not working. So I don't expect it could work with more complicated situation, and how wired it isthat AS2 code could work but not AS3.
It will be an iOS app, but anyway it will be running by swf, right?
The music will be downloaded from the music store, but it will be running in the local folder, not stream from internet.
So the code for music playing will just be like that:
import flash.media.*;
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.load(new URLRequest("Music.mp3"));
snd.play();

Artifacts in mp3 encoding

I have been using itunes to encode audio recordings to mp3 for years but recently I have started to get artifacts appearing in the recordings. It looks like it is some kind of cross talk from one channel to the other (eg left to right) If there is speech on the left channel there is some faint twittering on the right. In the aiff version there is nothing, the twittering only appears after encoding to mp3. I usually encode to 128Kbps stereo. Any ideas on what is happening?

Is this truly something that has suddenly started happening or have you just started listening to tracks with true stereo isolation? Very few stereo recordings truly have all of one signal coming through one channel an nothing through the other.
In the mp3 encoder settings try toggling between joint stereo and normal. Part of mp3 space saving assumes that much of what is coming out one channel is similar to the what is coming out the other. It is redundant to preserve this separately so channels share some audio signal which can be stored jointly. I have zero familiarity with the encoding but am throwing out the suggestion that maybe in the case where you really have complete channel separation perhaps this joint method is allowing something to leak through to the other since it works on the principal that both channels do have similar information. "Normal" stores the two channels separately but also takes up more room because of redundant information storage.

New Drivers loose MP3 encoding.... You want me to pay for it

Hey,
Recently formatted my computer and reinstalled with the latest drivers for my sound card using the auto update service.
(Audigy 2 zs)
Was supprised to find the latest MediaSource 5 has lost the ability to encode MP3 Format. Was a bit bewildered to find that i'm supposed to pay extra?to have the privilage of having my MP3 encoding ability back.
Whats the story. This card was clearly sold as having this ability and now its been taken away and im told its got to be payed for to get it back. Just a?bit confused, sorry if this has already been posted.

To get the MP3 encode feature back. You need to install "Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2" software first which will add the MP3 encode feature. Then install the latest MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer software.
Next uninstall the "Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2" and the MP3 encode feature will remain in the latest MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer software.
The "Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2" software can be downloaded from the creative download webpage.
If you can't find the download, Follow these steps :
) Go to the creative support webpage.
2) Select "Sound Blaster".
3) Scroll down to the bottom of the webpage and select "If your product is not listed above, please click here".
4) Select your product "Audigy", "Audigy ZS" click next.
5) In the "manual selection" (on the bottom of the webpage), Select "Windows XP" click "Submit".
6) The "Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2" software will be listed under "Application" on page 2.
Goodluck!

Cannot change settings from AAC to MP3 encoder although able to do so on another computer

I am frustrated as I am able to change my settings on ITunes 10 on my desktop computer, but when I downloaded ITunes10 on my notebook, I was not able to change the same settings from AAC to MP3 encoder although I clicked ok. It keeps reverting to AAC, and I am not able to rightclick my music file, as I can do on my desktop, to create a smaller mp3....
I also noticed that other checkmarks, i.e. checking "podcast" under general preferences under source revert back to unchecked when I get out.
What to do?
Thanks so much,
Anita

MP3 Encoding using JMF

Hi all,
I was wondering if I anyone could give me some advice on how to change .wav files into .mp3 files using JMF. I've been trying to make Sun's Transcode program work ( from JMF Solutions ) but it keeps refusing to do that particular action, and complains about bad sampling rates.
Any help would be appreciated,
Vicki

In short, write a C++ class that calls a Linux MP3 encoder. Your java app passes the filename and the C++ class passes that to the encoder that then returns info about the encoding process to the C++ class that then passes it to the java class. You might even find a linux ecoder that works with java...Just hava a look on google or something
Could be tough.
