**.m4a files in FLASH?*

Hello folks. I want to know if there are any work arounds for
playing enhanced podcasts (.m4a) files via an online flash player?
I want to use this player:
big contact on
my flash website. I know it will play audio podcasts no problem but
it would be great if visitors to my site could enjoy the full
enhanced podcast without having to necessarily subscribe to the
feed (for those situations where you don't have full PC privileges
eg in the library)
Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place

You can save a CS3 .fla file to Flash 8 - Just do File >
Save As and set
type to Flash 8 document. Of course any AS3 isn't going to
work...

.m4a files and Flash

Hi, friends. I would be grateful for any thoughts you have on
this subject.
The sound piece that I need to import into Flash is an .m4a
file. I've never worked with that type of file and am not even sure
why it is an .m4a, since all of the other sound pieces I've created
in Garageband have been saved as .aif.
It looks like I cannot bring an .m4a file into Flash, but I
don't know how to convert it to an mp3. There are some free
converters out there on the Internet, but when I download them I
never know what application to use to open the software. As you can
tell, I'm utterly confused.
This is my first post. I hope it isn't too long or too
convoluted. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

m4a: http://oceanboom.com/podcasts/Oceanboom-Episode-1.m4a
mp3: http://oceanboom.com/podcasts/Oceanboom-Episode-1.mp3
its my site, so lemme know what i need to tell the server guys...
it has pics in the file that you can see if you DL it to iTunes...
also, if you listen to all of it: There is no merchandise section on the site yet, and we are not selling CDs on the site yet, so don't be confused when you hear that in the podcast. I am updating the site to include these features but I had to make the podcast first because I was in Wakayama near my friend's band, and I had to interview them when I had the chance.
thx
PS - why does it automatically DL for windoze? is the server geared towards windows OS?

Why won't iTunes play .m4a files?

I have some songs on a flash drive from another computer that I want to import to my iTunes. But whenever I copy them to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder they appear in iTunes as 0:00 seconds long! I did some testing and found that I could add any other type of audio file (.mp3 .wav .wma) and it worked. But .m4a files don't. I can just conver all of my music to .mp3, but I would like to kep the .m4a quality.
Any help would be great!

This doesn't concern Windows, but maybe it's relevant anyway.
Today, I emailed myself an .m4a voice recording from a Samsung smartphone that had created it minutes earlier.
After opening that email message, I saved the .m4a file to my Mac (iMac 21.5 inch) running Yosemite.
Clicking on the saved file's icon launched iTunes (version 12.0.1.26), which then did nothing no matter what I tried.
However, selecting the file on the desktop caused a dialog box to open. That box asked which application I wanted to use for opening the sound file. The available applications shown were VLC, QuickTime Player, Flip Player, and RealPlayer. I was pleased to find that VLC, QuickTime, Flip Player, and RealPlayer each played the file straightforwardly and flawlessly.

ACC to MP3 conversion created m4a files

I no longer have an iPhone so I converted my music library to mp3 from acc files to make them compatable with our cars USB flash drive input headunits.
Everything got converted to m4a files. Is there a way to convert to true mp3 files?

Think I have this sorted out. My assumption was that the mp3 files would be in the Music\iTunes folder structure.
Folders have the m4a files, however when I cut/paste the file direct from itunes, it pastes as a mp3 file.
So I did a search and found a alternative path (subfolder \music folder) with my entire music library copied as mp3 files.
I guess this is a good thing as I still retained the Apple file version, as well have a seperate mp3 set.

I have transferd music from my ipod to my new computer and some of the files are not coming over, i have noticed the m4a files come across but the mp3 do not, any ideas how i can resolve this? thanks

I have just bought a new computer and i am transfering my music from my ipod onto my new computer, I have put the files from the music option from my ipod onto my computer. alot of the songs have come across, however there is alot of songs that havent. I have noticed that the m4a files come across but the mp3 does not. the new computer has windows 8 on it, which is very new to me. when i try and play the mp3 files, it will open them up in a different programme and will not open in itunes. does anyone know what i can do?!?!!?!?!
THANKS

How to delete duplicated m4a file in "Recently Added" List in iTues?

I followed the instructions given by WICLEE and managed to customize my Ringtone but I couldn't delete the duplicated m4a file (after created a AAC file) from the Recently Added list where i selected the music for downloading. However, i managed to delete the m4a file from Windows Explorer and uncheck the deuplicated file when i sync onto my iPhone5 as a new Ringtone, it worked. Can Wiclee advise how to delete the unwanted m4a file from the list? Thanks much.

It will disappear from the Recently added playlist after 2 weeks.
Or you can edit the Recently added playlist to include ONLY music.

How do i get itunes to display my library (which is on an external hard drive)? It worked OK on old PC, but not new my new laptop. They are M4A files. are

My itunes library used to be on a PC - but shortly before the PC went to PC heaven I transferred the library onto an external hard drive. It worked fine. Now I have a laptop - but I can't get itunes to pick up the library location. I have changed in advance preferences, but the library does not display. I have tried holding down shift when starting itunes - but when I do that it looks for *.itl files, and all my files are M4A files. What do I do next?

You mean you transferred the media, not the library...

The library location is in your /Music/ oflder.
Your media files (not yet in your new iTunes library ) is on the external drive.
I have changed in advance preferences, but the library does not display.
Because you have not yet added anything to your library.
Quit iTunes.
On the external, create a new folder named My iTunes library (or something).
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select My iTunes library on the external.
Go into Windows Explorer and move all the media files on the external into /My iTunes Llibrary/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.

How can I mask on flv file in flash cs4?

Hi,
I am new to Flash CS4. I saw one video on how to use flv file in flash and mask it. It is working fine when I am using the following option while importing a video file to flash:
Load external video with playback component
But when I tried with the following option it doesn't show the background, it shows only movie which is playing nicely. But not the background which has a bill board.
Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline
It seems the mask is not working with this option.
How to solve this problem? Please help.
Actually it should be like the above.
But when I am using the option Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline while importing the flv video, getting the result like below: It is not showing the Bill board as above.

Itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?

itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?
new to itunes, used windows media player before that and always ripped music directly to an external hardrive and accessed it through the player. now that i downloaded itunes it is taking from the external hardrive and copying a second file for each song onto my lap top hard drive which does not have the capacity for all my music. as itunes converts music files i want them saved back onto my external drive or another location i have space for rather than the lap top. how do i change the setting to move the itunes media folder to another location. assuming that hitting copy and past and dropping it in a random location will cause a few errors.

When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

Thanks for your reply but that's not my problem.
I know that I can burn an M4A file to a CD and then import it back as an MP3, but that's an annoying process and wastes blank CDs. I thought iTunes had a menu choice to convert a selected file to MP3 format. I guess that's not true with M4A versions.
I will simply buy my music from Amazon from now on and I won't have to deal with this file format and protection nonsense. I can download music from Amazon in MP3 format as the rest of my music is in.

How do I convert an M4a file to AIFF

I am attempting to convert an audio file using QT into aiff so that i can import it into a Final Cut Pro project. However, I am having trouble converting this file.
~Jeryl Marcus

Boy am I confused.
The audio format of most CD's is already in .aiff format. Just drag it off the CD.
.m4a files can also be "converted" to .aiff via QuickTime (or even in iTunes).
.m4p files (protected) are purchased songs and QuickTime will not convert them. iTunes can be used to create an audio CD (back to .aiff) however.
The last possible problem is the "protected" CD's from Sony. I don't know if they "lock" the individual files or they entire CD.

How to read a .php file in flash

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a possibility to read out a .php file in flash? (Like the iFrame in html) Some other webs showed me the 'loadvars' array..
Thanx!

So.. I do need to make a dynamic tekst block? And add to the first frame the action (as3?):
var lo:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
lo.load(new URLRequest("http://www.hcdbfeesten.nl/aenb/test.php"));
lo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, typeIt);
function typeIt(e:Event){
trace(lo.data);
It does show me:
http://www.hcdbfeesten.nl/aenb/test.swf
Nothing... Instead of:

Why are my mp3's and m4a files no longer recognized?

All of a sudden, 95% of the 10,000 music tracks in my iTunes Library has become unplayable. It concerns mp3 and m4a files with music that I purchased and ripped over the years. Wifi syncing to my iPhone 4s made it worse: now the Music app on my iPhone won't play them either.
All tracks added before Mid September 2012 are dead. They can be seen in the library and metadata can be read in iTunes. But when I click on the file, nothing happens. Newer files do play normally, though. MP3's that were not located in the iTunes library also still are playable.
I tried opening the files with VLC player, Quicktime and even on a windows machine. All I get is a message that songitle.mp3 cannot be played because it's format is not recognised.
It has been over a week since I first noticed the problem and I spend many late hours. What is going on? Has Spotlight messed with my music's metadata? Is Apple denying me access to my own files? HELP!
What I tried:
- restore files from Time Machine backup: same problem
- play files on other machines: same problem
- repair a file with MP3 Scan+Repair. It says: ERROR: Unknown file format!
- decrypt HD by disabling FileVault: no improvement and Time Machine won't work anymore (Stupid)
- do a fresh install of Mountain Lion: no improvement
- restore files from Carbon Copy Clone: same problem (has Spotlight done this while indexing the external HDD?
- boot from the Carbon Copy Clone (turned out impossible due to the Verbatim external drive that won't boot-should have tested that before I ran into trouble )
- find solutions in apple discussions, google etc for almost ten days: no solution

You're welcome: I am happy you are thinking along.
We may me on to something: I could not access my account on Sep 11 and did a restore from TM. It did not go too smoothly, but it worked. That's when I decided to pick up the habit of making carbon clone copies again.
Now if something would have been wrong with the songs in the iTunes/Music folder, it must have been copied just as wrong to the carbon clone. Hence the reason why my backed up songs won't play. So you could be right that the files were probably messed up Mid September and not just two weeks ago.
But why haven't I noticed it before? Probably because all the music I like to hear is in my iPhone, that apperently doesn't do to many wifi syncing? It is strange though that for two months I could still play the music on my iPhone.
What did happen just before I could not play them anymore, was the iOS update to 6.0.1. My phone's battery was draining fast and it became hot. Maybe the phone's Spotlight had to re-index? I don't know.
FV was there since Jan, when I set up this machine. I did not run some kind of utility particularly on my music files.
I think you are wise to stick to your OS version as long as it works well. Upgrading usually comes with some issues.
About my setup:
I started out on another MBP (mid 2009) with 10.5. Upgraded to 10.6 then to 10.7. Had some kernel panic issues, but solved them.The machine got stolen in January and I got my current MBP (late 2011) with 10.7 on it that I upgraded to 10.8 this summer. I started using FV in Jan with the new machine. The theft made me wonder if I shouldn't be more Utilities I use ever so infrequently:
Onyx
Drive Genius
ClamAV
Carbon Copy Cloner.
Syncing/Backup takes place to
Time Machine (full drive)
iCloud (limited data)
SugarSync (limited data)
Dropbox (limited data)
Google Drive (limited data)
Carbon Copy Cloner (full drive)
Other things:
I put a hardware password on my laptop and a use Prey tracking software (not that it helped me to find back my old laptop btw)
I can't remember what utility I was running at the time of the lockout in September. Maybe there was something like Drive Genius running when I had to close my MBP and leave. But since the music on my TM has the same problem, the whole lockout may not be the reason of the corrupted songs.
Perhaps I should just accept my losses. I found an older backup with the oldest 90% of the songs that work. It's just that I am curious to know what went wrong to keep it from happening again.
About moving to another forum: what do you think would be the best choice? OS X Mountain Lion?

In Adobe premiere elements 12 it wont let me add a m4a file. It says that "the importer reported a generic error". Please help.

please help, I need to make a video and cant get in my music.

tuckey2012
For background information, what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
I could ask you for a lot of details to build a troubleshooting plan. However, in this instance with .m4a file and "importer reported a generic error", I am going to cut to what I believe your workflow problem to be.
You are working with iTunes music. To use them in Premiere Elements (any version), please convert them to .wav file in iTunes.
To do that....
a. Open iTunes and go to Music - File Menu/Add File To Library
b. Edit Menu/Preferences/General and there click on Import Settings
c. In the Import Settings dialog, go to Import Using and set for WAV Encoder.
d. OK out of that area.
In the Music Section/Songs, right click your import, select Create WAV Version
Then right click the WAV Version, select Copy, and then Paste it to the computer desktop
from where you import it into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets
from where you drag it to one of the audio tracks.
Please let us know if that works for you.
Thanks.
