Managing ALAC and MP3 files in differnet libraries - how to do?

Hi All
I have started upgrading my itunes music to ALAC for home listening. iTunes content is stored on an external hard drive.
As I have a big library, my ipod classic is not going to be able to cope with the data volume. So I had the idea of creating a second itunes library with the songs in MP3, and using that one to synch my ipod/iphone
However I have no idea how to go about this efficiently, and have searched online and got confused
Can anyone tell me how to go about creating and then managing this?
Cheers
Andrew

Correct - though I have today realised that apparently you can just "flick a switch" and have itunes do this for you. I can't understand how a compressed file can be made into ALAC (rather than the other way around)
You don't really want to flick that switch, because while it will convert the compressed file to an ALAC file the results are always quality equal to or less than the source.
The switch you refer to is designed for a different application. When you set your cd import preferences, this switch duplicates that format so you can target other sources with the same format goal. You need to decide when it is or is not appropriate to use this tool. My rule is to never recompress or change the container of a compressed file. There is (almost) nothing to gain. I say almost because if your goal is to create a cd compatible with any cd player and you only have compressed files to work with, you may want to convert to aiff, but you'll still have compressed quality, only in a larger container.
I hope that makes sense.

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

    Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

    Easiest way to find time machine files is to open up the folder or application(works for email and iphoto)  they were in - then click on time machine ICON or enter time machine from the time machine menu to go back through the files.

  • I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files.

    I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files I want to listen to online.  These are Hymn files.  And I get a message telling me I have a missing plugin. Any ideas?

    My husband used to be able to convert ABC files to MIDI files .  This allows sheet music to be played on the computer so as to learn a tune.  We get the Missing Plug in  message.
    I downloaded the Quicktime 7.   I open Quick time, Still get the message.  What is the solution?

  • Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

    My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
    There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
    The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
    If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
    If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
    That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
    Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
    Why is my word and PDF files so large?
    How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
    Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

    You can't, extra size is to hold the details

  • Can I burn .m4a and .mp3 file on the same CD?

    I downloaded a few podcasts and have one in .m4a format, the other in .mp3.
    Can both be burned onto the same CD via iTunes -- or do I need to convert?
    And if so, what format should both podcasts be in?
    Thanks.

    Can both be burned onto the same CD via iTunes
    Yes.
    And if so, what format should both podcasts be in?
    If you want an audio CD, just put all files into a playlist and click *Burn CD* then select Audio CD. iTunes will convert them to CD audio.
    Selecting Data CD/DVD in iTunes will burn the files as they are. They can be MP3, AAC, AIFF or whatever and will be burned in that format (useful for backing up files)
    If you select MP3 CD (this is the format of the files on the CD), the files must already be in MP3 format.
    This is the same as a Data CD/DVD except iTunes will use only MP3 files (because many players can play MP3 files).

  • Managing pacsave and pacnew files

    Sometimes it is a while before I do another 'pacman -Syu' ... so when I do I might find myself with a few .pacsave and .pacnew files to manage. To help myself deal with them I have written two simple little scripts to check and compare them quickly from the command line. I named the scripts diff_pacnew.sh and diff_pacsave.sh - and offer them here thinking it might be of interest to and maybe useful for forum members.
    They use 'diff' to compare the existing file with the new one and prompt to enter a comment (such as "delete pacsave" or "add xyz to the file"). The comments are saved in /tmp/diff_pacsave.txt and /tmp/diff_pacnew.txt so I don't need to remember everything. I just read the txt files and alter/replace/remove the pacsave/pacnew files according to my notes there.
    They use the 'locate' tool so I run 'updatedb' before using them.
    #!/bin/bash
    # diff_pacsave.sh
    # script used in Archlinux
    # to compare configuration files with their updated versions
    for i in `locate *.pacsave`
    do
    j=`echo $i | sed 's/.pacsave//'`
    if [ -f $j ]
    then
    echo "...................."
    echo "comparing $i with $j"
    diff $i $j
    echo "Enter notes"
    read notes
    echo "$j" >> /tmp/diff_pacsave.txt
    echo "$notes" >> /tmp/diff_pacsave.txt
    echo >> /tmp/diff_pacsave.txt
    echo
    fi
    done
    #!/bin/bash
    # diff_pacnew.sh
    # script used in Archlinux
    # to compare configuration files with their updated versions
    for i in `locate *.pacnew`
    do
    j=`echo $i | sed 's/.pacnew//'`
    if [ -f $j ]
    then
    echo "...................."
    echo "comparing $i with $j"
    diff $i $j
    echo "Enter notes"
    read notes
    echo "$j" >> /tmp/diff_pacnew.txt
    echo "$notes" >> /tmp/diff_pacnew.txt
    echo >> /tmp/diff_pacnew.txt
    echo
    fi
    done

    Thanks jason.
    Hey Xyne, so i renamed my crond.pacnew to crond (there was no crond before).  I don't really know if i need it. I've never messed with it before.
    Mine looks like this:
    /var/log/crond.log {
       sharedscripts
       copytruncate
       missingok
       postrotate
           kill -HUP `cat /var/run/cron.pid`
       endscript
    and it's in the /etc/logrotate.d/ directory.  Think I may need it? I have no idea what that stuff means. hehe I just started using Linux just over a month ago with Arch! wooo!!

  • Noobie question.. linking from thumbnails and mp3 files

    There are essentially 2 different things I want to do. I'm
    building a website for a rock band and need help here.
    1. I have a media page with image files. I'm laying out like
    9 thumbnails. I'd like to set it up so that when you click on it,
    it links to a separate page with the image. Pretty web standard
    stuff.. I just don't know how to do it.
    2. Similar thing with mp3 files. The discography page will
    have a list of songs for their new album. They want to be able to
    link a few of their mp3 files on it so that when you click on them,
    it automatically links to a page with just the mp3 playing.
    How do I go about this?

    Go here -

    A normal hyperlink to the mp3 file will cause the system to
    open the
    required player, on those systems where the required player
    is installed.

  • FLVPlayback and MP3 Files - Possible?

    I've got Flash 8 Pro on a Mac, and I'm trying to use the
    FLVPlayback component to stream MP3s off a Flash Media Server (2).
    The docs say: " New to Flash Professional 8, the FLVPlayback
    component lets you quickly add a full-featured FLV or MP3 playback
    control to your Flash movie. " but no matter what I do, FLVPlayback
    doesn't want to look at my MP3. If I encode the same file into an
    FLV wrapper, it works fine. Similarly, I can stream the MP3 off the
    server using the MediaPlayback component, but I'd rather stick with
    my existing (FLVPlayback-base) player if at all possible.
    Any help? Is it possible?

    With Netstream object all will remain the same as with an FLV
    file except the stream name in NetStream.Play API
    For MP3 file using NetStream.play("Mp3:fileFile") should
    work.

  • AAC files and MP3 Files

    I would like to know if there is an easier way to seperate my AAC file and My MP3 files. When I convert my AAC files to MP3s Itunes puts them in the same folder. So when I go to my Itunes music folder both MP3 and AAC are in the same folder. I was wondering if there was a way I could send my MP3 files to an external hard drive after I convert them from AACs. My hard drive on my computer won't hold all of them so I would have to do it in stages. I wish I could make them go to the external hard drive as soon as they are converted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I thought about moving the whole folder to the external hard drive, but I would still have to seperate them. thanks

    bwchas,
    - Do whatever conversions you wish. Make sure you understand the potential quality loss issue mentioned by Co-Jeff.
    - In your iTunes library, sort by "Kind." If Kind is not showing, go to View > Options and make sure it is checked (ticked).
    - You will now see all the AACs together and all the mp3s together. Chose the ones you want to copy and highlight them. Then do Edit > Copy.
    - Go to the folder in your hard drive and right-click and "Paste."
    - Anything you don't still want on your main hard drive, delete it.
    I assume you are talking about unprotected AAC files. If not, step 1 will not work.

  • Program for turning animated .gif and MP3 files to .mov

    I need a program that takes an animated GIF and an MP3 of WAV file and turns them into a .mov file, but I don't have the money for FinalCut. Is there a cheaper (or free) program that can do this thing?

    hello. try mpeg streamclip here -

    not sure if it'll help, but most users here swear by it for various format conversions. and it's free.

  • Firefox don't download *.webm and *.mp3 files by default

    I am running windows 8, firefox 33.1
    Options are set to "save as" under mp3, mp4....didn't work
    then I set "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled"to False. didn't work
    I know you can right click to save but, I want to automatically save files like I used to be able to. It faster.
    the web site that I want to save files on are as follows:
    http://www.ksl.com/podcast/browser.xml

    If that does not help,
    Deleting the '''mimeTypes.rdf''' will reset all download actions to the default settings.
    Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
    Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
    Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
    '''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
    Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
    Locate the '''mimeTypes.rdf''' file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

  • Help on Opening .JPG and .MP3 files

    Dear Forum Members,
    I have purchased a new 20inch imac a few day ago and is having difficulties opening files from an external hard-disk. The files were saved using a window XP computer (it crashed and died - thus my move to imac). I can see the files on the external hard-disk, but the imac hangs (e.g. cannot force quit iphoto or itune) when I try to open any file, regardless of jpg, mp3, mov extensions.
    I would greatly appreciate your help as 5 years of my children's photos are on it, including my whole collection of scanned CDs.
    Thanks
    Dan

    What happens if you try to copy these files to your iMac first? Your problem may not be that applications quit when opening but rather you're having problems simply accessing the disk.
    If your external disk was formatted as NTFS by your Windows machine then your Mac will not be able to write back to the disk. Your applications may be attempting to save temporary or permanent files back to the disk. Verify this by going to the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac". Click the "More Info..." button. Under the Hardware section on the left, look for your drive. It's probably under ATA. Select your drive and look at the "File System". If it is formatted as NTFS, you can copy the files to your iMac, and use the Disk Utility to reformat the drive to a Mac or MS-DOS format.
    This could also be a symptom of disk corruption. You can begin troubleshooting by using the Disk Utility found in /Applications/Utilities to verify/repair your disk. If Disk Utility finds problems but is unable to fix them, you can purchase third party tools such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to attempt to repair your disk.
    Hope this helps! bill
