No mp3 format to save to

Well, that's partially true.  I usually save my file in the mp3 format, but my problem is that all that shows up is mp3 PRO.  From what I understand, the mp3 PRO takes up less space than a normal mp3 file...but the problem I've run in to on countless occasions is that the mp3 PRO files won't play.  Let me explain....
I used to work at a radio station and would record commercial spots through my Audition 1.5 program.  I would save them as mp3 PRO and put them into our system, and also sometimes burn a copy onto a CD for the customer.  The spot would play fine through our broadcast system....but the customer couldn't get the spot to play on the CD that I had burned for them.  I ran it through another file converter program, saved as an mp3 and reburned the CD....works just fine.
Here is another example... I was recently auditioning for a job at another radio station.  I created my aircheck through Adobe Audition 1.5, saved as mp3 PRO and emailed it to the station.  They were not able to listen to it on their computer.  I used a different program to re-save the file as an actual mp3, resent it to the station....now they have no problem hearing it.
I read another post where someone said that they had the mp3 option on their "save as" list, but that they couldn't click on it, or something.  I don't even have that option on my list! Is there a way to get that on there?   Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, especially since I am looking to get into some voice work and really need to be able to save as a straight mp3.
Thanks for the help,

That's the only option you get. But if you select it as a file type, and then click on 'options' below it you get the control panel which will let you select the bit rate, and exactly what type of MP3 or MP3Pro you save.

  • I have converted/copied my itunes oto mp3 format to play on my PC. unfortunatly I didi not specify a different folder fro the mp3's. I therefore have itunes side by side with my mp3's all in the same folder. How can I remove the mp3's into another folder.

    I have converted my itunes on my imac to mp3 format so i could play them on my pc. unfortunatly  i did not specify a seperate folder for the mp3's to be sent to once converted.
    i now have itunes and mp3's side by side in the itunes media folder. this has the effect of doubling my library.
    how can i get rid of the mp3's from this folder en mass, other than erasing them one by one, there are 7000!!!

    Click on 'Music' in the iTunes sidebar. Look to see whether you have a 'Kind' column:
    If you haven't, choose 'View Options' from the 'View' menu and check 'Kind':
    Now go to the Music list again and click on the label of the 'Kind' column. This will group all your AACs and MP3s together. Locate the MP3s: click on the top one. Hold the shift key and click on the bottom one to select them all. If you want to save them drag them to a folder on your Desktop. Then hit 'Delete'. IMPORTANT: when promted, choose to have them moved to the Trash, otherwise they will be removed from the list but kept in the actual library.

  • HELP!  how to eliminate leading silence added when saving in mp3 format

    Everytime I save my sound files in .mp3 format, Soundbooth seems to add a little bit of leading and a little bit of trailing silence.  How do I prevent this from happening.  I am trying to use my sounds inside a Flash application and I want to have 2 sounds blend seamlessly.  I can't combine them into one sound for various reasons since different combinations of sounds are grabbed dynamically, but I've tried everything to get rid of those tiny bits of silence and can't seem to do it.
    Any help/advice would be GREATLY appreciated.  I'm on a deadline (what's new?)

    This is a byproduct of the way mp3s are encoded and can be difficult or impossible to avoid without truncating some of the audio.  An admittedly poor analogy is you have a pitcher full of water which represents your audio data.  You have a long row of cups which represent each "frame" of your compressed mp3 file.  Every cup is exactly the same size, and if you pour all of your water into the cups, and the last cup isn't filled to the rim, there's still the empty space in that cup.  Basically, that's what happens with mp3's - that last frame must hold a fixed amount of data, but if the last chunk of your audio only fills a portion of that, the rest is filled with zeros.  I believe the codec then distributes those zeros between the start and end to minimize a significant amount of silence at either end.
    If the sound files are short, you might be able to use WAV files - a larger file size in exchange for far more control.

  • Is it legal to convert the music files, which I have purchased in recent months, to the mp3 format and burn them on to a CD so that they can be played in non-apple music devices that dont support the M4A format?

    Is it legal to convert the music files, which I have purchased in recent months, to the mp3 format and burn them on to a CD so that they can be played in non-apple music devices that dont support the M4A format?

    Yes, of course it is legal.
    To convert the format, follow one of these documents:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
    Also note that you have the option of buying your files in MP3 format in the first place, from Amazon MP3 or other online retailers.  MP3 files will work in iTunes as well as virtually every other player, program, and device.

  • Can flash record audio in .mp3 format?

    I have an Audio Recorder created in flash. Currently it records audio  and saves it in .flv format.(I am using AS2.0 and Red5 server)
    My question is: Is there  any way by which I can record and save audio in .mp3 format, directly?
    Thanks in advance.

    The .flv format is a "container" format, not a video format.
    So that means that inside the container, you can have a video file and/or an audio file or even just an audio file.. which most likely is already an mp3 file. Use something like "FLV Extract" to break open the container and see:
    http://moitah.net/
    But really, for any Web delivery of audio, the .flv (audio only) method works just fine. Lots of media players available for the Flash .flv file.
    For example:
    Sounds from my bunk on the Lady Washington
    http://exploreolympics.com/reports/?p=2857
    Scroll down to third media player.
    A little quiet to start with... but this is a .flv file with just an mp3 audio file inside.
    Best of luck!

  • Converting from Quicktime/Midi audio files to MP3 format

    Before I upgraded to Tiger, I could use itunes to convert into mp3 form all the Quicktime Midi files that my chorus director emailed to me. Then I burned them on to cds so that everybody in the chorus could play their part in their car on the way to work and learn it really well.
    Well, now when I go through the exact same steps that are on the website (go to preferences, go to advanced, change encoder to mp3, etc etc) and itunes says that it cannot convert the file to mp3 because of "unknown error (-50)."
    Any ideas on how to get around this other than trashing my Tiger and going back to Panther?

    I bought and downloaded quicktime Pro and used it to convert my MIDI files. First you have to find your MIDI file on your HD. Then drag it into QuickTime. Then "export" the file and in the export window select aiff as the format. Save it to your HD. Then drag the aiff file into iTunes and it will play in iTunes (6.0.4 is the version I'm using) It will also burn to a CD from within iTunes. If you only want to play the file from within iTunes, you can skip the QuickTime conversion, and simply drag and drop the MIDI file from your HD into iTunes - iTunes will play it but won't allow the file to be burnt to a CD.

  • MP3 Format in Garageband?

    With Garageband, can I make a "voice message" using the built-in mic on my iMac and save it in MP3 format? I'm using Garageband version 3.0.5.
    I went to the Apple store today and they showed me how to do it, but I suspect they were using the '08 version.
    Thanks for any advice.

  • UCCX Script - Upload step - Convert to default mp3 format

    Hi folks,
    I have a upload step working properly and doing the upload to my prompt repository.
    I need to send the recording file by e-mail, but when I try to play this file, this is not possible due a codec format.
    There's any way to convert the recording file to default mp3 codec format?
    Thank you

    Hi.
    That's a bit strange, but not impossible, that the person receiving the email does not have a media player capable of understanding G.711 or G.729.
    Anyway, I am not aware of any good (stable) mp3 encoder in Java, which could be "plugged into" a UCCX script. And even if there was one, the mp3 format is patented and you would have to buy the license from the Fraunhofer Institute.
    I would first save the file in a database or on a remote file system, and use a scheduled process to convert it to mp3 or any different format and then mail it. Not an elegant solution, but it should work.

  • I have been trying to put music I bought on I tunes on my Samsung Note 2 phone but it won't play.I try to convert them to mp3 format so I can play them on my phone but it won't let me convert them because it says they are protected. Can anybody help me?

    I have been trying to put music I bought on Itunes on my Samsung Note 2 but my media player won't play m4p files so I tried to convert the files to mp3 but I couldn't, because a message says they are protected files. I then tried downloading different media player apps to see if they would play them but had no success.Can anybody help with a solution to this problem?

    First quit iTunes and look in your iTunes folder.
    On Windows, the iTunes folder is in your My Music folder.
    On Mac, the iTunes folder is in your Music folder.
    Follow this path:    iTunes > iTunes Media > Music >
    Here there should be all your music folders. Open the folders containing the music that is not playing. Right click "get info" (mac) or right click "properties" (windows).
    This window will tell you the file type. iTunes will play music in AAC, MP3, and Lossless, etc.
    If the files are .wma you will need to convert them into ACC or MP3 format for it to play on an iPod. In iTunes, highlight the tracks that you want to convert, then on the menu bar, Advanced > Create AAC/MP3 version and the tracks will convert. Delete the old files.
    If the file extenstion is anything like .exe .txt .rar  then you don't have an audio file.

    Micky,
    The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format.  Most Android phones can play AACs.  Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
    If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide: 
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
    (This conversion does not require burning.)
    For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices.  You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.

  • How can I get an item that has the broadcast icon next to it into MP3 format so I can put it on my ipod nano?

    Question: how can I get an item in my itunes library, on my mac os 10.6.7 that has a broadcast icon next to it into MP3 format so I can play it on my ipod? right now it won't let me, and it's very frustrating!!!! thanks

    I might have misunderstood what you mean by the "broadcast icon," but if you are talking about an audio stream, then there is just no way you can convert a stream to MP3. What this would involve is either recording the stream, and then you would just be replaying the recorded audio on your iPod (is this what you are trying to achieve?), or reading the stream directly on your iPod, which an iPod nano does not support (it would need wireless connectivity).
    Hope this helps

  • How can I convert all of my iTunes files into mp3.format?

    These are songs that I downloaded from my cds, but I want to be able to put them back on my desktop in MP3 format to put on a non-itunes compatible portable music player. Thanks!

    Set iTunes Preferences Advanced Import to MP3
    Select all the tracks you're referring to
    CTRL-Click onto this selection - "Convert to MP3"
    After that you may want to delete the non-MP3 source files
