MP3s in iTunes 6.0.3

hallo. i'm downloading mp3's (legally) from sub pop records and opening them in itunes 6.0.3 into my library. i've done this loads of times and i've never had a problem with it until now. once they've downloaded and come into itunes they show a 0.00 time code and it won't play. i don't know why. this also happened with the new pearl jam song that came from j records i think. the songs are loading just fine--i'm playing them and they sound great--so they're nor corrupt files. does this happen with anyone else? any solutions come from it? any ideas why this happens? thanks for the help and cheers.

Yes, same problem here with iTunes 6.0.4 and the Quicktime bundled with it. Both programs encounter a buffer overrun at the same moment in a "Desperate Housewives" purchased video.
Will try to play it on my home computer tonight. If I can't watch the last 12 minutes of the show I'm going to be upset I paid $1.99 for it.

Add mp3 to iTunes, delete file from Downloads, add Grouping?

Can anyone help me make an Applescript (or it may need to be two) that can be used as a folder action to watch the Downloads folder and:
1) Open .mp3s in iTunes and set track Grouping ID3 field to 'singles', then delete original .mp3s.
2) Open .zip and .rar archives, parse then unarchived folder for .mp3 files, add them to iTunes, set track Grouping ID3 field to 'albums', then delete original folder of .mp3s.
2a) Bonus points if the script adds the .mp3s to itunes in descending order based on file name track numbers (track 10, track 9, track 8...).

bump for more help?

Add mp3 to iTunes, delete file from Downloads, add Comment?

I'm trying to make a folder action that will:
- Watch my 'Downloads' folder for downloaded .mp3 files.
- Add those .mp3 files to iTunes, letting iTunes copy to music folder.
- Delete the original file from the 'Downloads' folder.
- In iTunes, append '#single' to the Comment field of added .mp3.
So far I have the first three working, but cannot get it to append the #single part to the Comment field, here's what I have:
property myFiletypes : {".mp3"}
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
set myFinderItems to added_items
tell application "System Events"
set allItems to every item of myFinderItems
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to the count of allItems
try
-- get an item
set myFinderItem to (item i of allItems as alias)
-- check if it is a folder
tell application "Finder" to set myItemIsFolder to (kind of myFinderItem = "Folder")
-- if it isn't a folder...
if myItemIsFolder is false then
-- see if the file has the right extension
tell application "Finder" to set myItemExtension to "." & (name extension of myFinderItem) as string
if myFiletypes contains myItemExtension then
set mySongName to myFinderItem as alias
-- add track to iTunes
tell application "iTunes"
add mySongName
end tell
tell application "Finder" to delete file myFinderItem
end if
end if
on error
display dialog "Error"
end try
end repeat
end adding folder items to

Better yet, an Applescript that can be used as a folder action to watch the Downloads folder and:
1) Open .mp3s in iTunes and append #single to track Comments, then delete original .mp3s.
2) Open .zip and .rar archives, parse then unarchived folder for .mp3 files, add them to iTunes, append #album to track Comments, then delete original folder of .mp3s.
2a) Bonus points if the script adds the .mp3s to itunes in descending order based on file name track numbers (track 10, track 9, track 8...).

Can't convert to MP3 with itunes music

I have downloaded some music but I am not able to convert my purchased itunes songs to MP3 so that I can put it into a personal movie maker project that I am doing. When I try to convert the song, I get this message: "Amazing Grace" could not be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats. How can I get this into my Windows Movie Maker?

Di5,
The protected tracks sold in the iTunes Music Store are not mp3s, and under the terms of the ITMS license cannot be legally converted to mp3 format. iTunes does not provide a way to do the conversion, and if you are a rocket scientist and figure it out, you would not (as Paul correctly notes) be allowed to discuss it in this Forum.
To get mp3s, you need to look elsewhere, such as (1) rip from CD (2) purchase from an online store that sells songs in mp3 format, such as audiolunchbox.com, or (3) purchase from an online store that allows format conversion. On the last item, puretracks.com states that "When Puretracks files are burned to a CD through Windows Media Player 9, these music CDs will be recognized and can be ripped by iTunes."
Hope this helps.

Can a PDF in iBooks link to an mp3 in iTunes

We understand that documents are siloed with the apps in the iOS 5 file directory. However, if I want to link a PDF in iBooks to an mp3 in iTunes is that possible?

doubt it
seen pdfs in genral which have links to other parts of the document
and links to webpages but never seen an pdf which liked to a file on a disc
and I speak about general not ios which is much more restricted then a pc
so I would not hold my breath for that feature being supported or introduced

How do i convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12?

I need to convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12.

Today, I emailed myself an .m4a voice recording from an Android smartphone that had created that sound file minutes earlier.
After opening that email message, I saved the .m4a sound file (a whopping 352 KB) to my Mac (iMac 21.5 inch running Yosemite).
Clicking on the sound file's icon launched iTunes (version 12.0.1.26), which then did nothing no matter what I tried.
However, when I selected the file on the desktop and navigated to the Finder/File/Open With dropdown window, a dialog box opened with alternative applications 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 opened and played the file straightforwardly and flawlessly.
Apparently, Flip Player Pro (which I do not own) has a "save as" feature that might help you convert the file to the format you desire.

Can't drag anymore mp3 into ITunes version 11.1.138

I now have ITunes Version 11.1.138 but I used to have an earlier version 8 before. At that time I was able to simply drag an mp3 (from whichever pc file) into Itunes which also inserted the same mp3 into my 160G Classic IPod. Now with ITunes Version 11, it no longer works. Now I have to click in ITunes File tab>Add File to Library = Only then will the mp3 go to Itunes and IPod.
But that's not the end of it.
I now have an additional file in Computer/Local Disk C/ Ipod Music with so far 46.3GB which I don't need since the mp3 are already in other Mp3 files.
Also this new IPod music file creates a new sub-file every time I insert an mp3 in ITunes & IPod. The worst thing is the sub-file is identified by a title like F00 - F01-F02 and on and on. Each of these sub-files (when I open them) show the track simply by 4 letters like CHOO or JDWT as example; thus no title or description like I have for all my mp3s ie., ''Gary Peacock - Tales of Another - 01 - Vignette''
In other words I can't even Identify them anymore.
Am I doing something wrong or is this the new M.O. ?
Help please and Happy Holidays to All with Yours.

Hello Ed,
Re: your 2nd question: If you mean taking the Gary Peacock mp3 and copy it to the Library Itune Folder = no problem. The full mp3 listing is properly shown.
But if you mean going to ITunes and ''Automatically Add to ITunes'' folder I can't see any such tab in ITunes tabs or sub-tabs.
Re: your 1st comment: Not seeing that phenomenon...... quite strange on my part. it does not insert by dragging.
I even tried to go back to an earlier version installation (after uninstalling version 11 and cleaning registry) and I'm getting a message that it's now impossible to go back to an earlier version. Can you beleive this.
Yours truly, an old 78yrs old geezer with puter experience is bewildered for a first time and embarrassed.
I'm tempted to delete that Ipod Music file of some 46.3GB but am afraid to loose all music in my Ipod which is not connected at the moment.
I have now connected my IPod to my puter and tried dragging an mp3 file to Itunes it still does not work.

Can't import mp3s into itunes

Hi, I was just importing videos and mp3s into itunes, and it suddenly won't let me import any mp3s into itunes.
What can I do to fix it?
thanks

hmmmm. does there seem to be any size limit on the number of files you can transfer?
(say, by way of experiment, does a single file add when dragging and dropping, or if you use add file to library?)

I know how to convert WMA to AAC/MP3 for Itunes

I'm not sure if someone else has figured this out or not, but I figured out how to convert WMA files to AAC or MP3 for Itunes. First open the file using Quicktime. I think you need the Flip4Mac program. I'm not sure and you also need Quicktime pro. Choose Save. Select standalone movie. Choose location. It will convert song to movie, then import all your movies you selected. Organize Itunes by "Kind". Select all of your new movies files. Choose Advanced and convert to your appropriate file type.
I looked for a while and couldn't find a good way to change wma to aac. This takes a little bit, but it works. What do you think? It works for me.

Or, as has been pointed out in numerous posts, you can use EasyWMA.

How to export MP3 from iTunes to sD card

My car radio has an sD slot and can play MP3 files. How do I export from iTunes to an sD card in MP3 format?
Thanks,
John

Insert the card into a card reader and connect it to your Mac. Open iTunes and when the card is mounted on the desk top highlight the songs you want and drag them from the iTunes to the card icon.
If the songs in iTunes aren't in MP3 Format you'll need to convert them before dragging them to your card. You can use iTunes to convert any copy protection free songs in your library another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. If you are using iTunes 8 go to Edit>Preferences>General and click on Import Settings,, Change your Import format to MP3 Encoder for example and choose the Setting or "bit rate" you want. Go back to your library and highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create MP3 version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
One exception to this are standard copy protected songs (if you haven't upgraded to iTunes Plus versions) purchased from the iTunes Music Store which can't be directly converted due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection. However you can burn these to an Audio CD which will work like any regular CD.

Edit MP3s in iTunes

Is there a way to edit MP3s in iTunes? For instance, if I have a 1 hour file I want to split into 3 20 minute files? I know I can do it by changing the "Start Time" and "End Time", but that requires duplicating the file and any change you make to one copy is made on another so I cannot have 3 different start/end times. Plus, the file size is still 100% of original.
Also, are there any fade-in, fade-out effects you can add? Any suggestions?

I am sure there are plenty of audio editing software titles out there; I actually use GarageBand which came with my computer. I don't know how computer saavy you are, but it didn't take long to learn the program using common sense and the help screens. It is very memory intensive, though - converting to aiff. then when you export to iTunes it goes in as aiff, but you can always convert back to mp3 or whatever and delete the aiff. And you have to re-enter all the song info. Now that I think about it.... it IS a lot of work, but you can do so much and you probably already have the GarageBand for free.

The normal situation would be wanting to convert .m4a (AAC or Apple Lossless) to .mp3 as these are both music file formats. The extension .mp4 is normally for a video file and iTunes itself will only convert music files from one format to another.
For details on how to convert between music formats see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550
If you want to convert the audio track of an .mp4 video to a .mp3 file then you are going to need to use a different utility.

Can I buy mp3s from itunes ?

First time I used this forum so apologies if already asked. Can I buy mp3s from itunes ?
Fine for my ipod to have mp4a format aac or mp3 etc.. but for my car I use a USB stick which needs to be all mp3 format. Yes I can convert in itunes to mp3 format but that means I end up with two versions on my laptop.
If I just accidentally sync one non-mp3 format file to my memory stick then the car won't play anything on the **** stick !! Annoying.
So unles theres a way of getting mp3 thru itunes I guess its back to amazon for me for mp3 purchases - and then add the folder to itunes. Not ideal
thanks in advance

I didn't mention the Import Settings, since it is in no way relevant to the OP's question. Despite your recommendation to marktko, I can see absolutely no reason to buy a song from iTunes, if the only intention is to convert it and then delete the original, having possibly paid more for it into the bargain. The conversion process may possibly introduce a reduction in the quality of the file, so why do it if you can buy the format you want and save yourself the trouble of the extra conversion work?
marktko;
I am astounded that you have been won over by Brij011's arguement about paying more, converting, and then deleting the AAC file. Absolutely astounded!
Is there a hidden agenda at work here?
