Podcast file to "normal" mp3 file

Please ...
Is it possible to change the podcast file into an MP3 "normal" file and see it in the Library window ?
Thanks
Gil

Further development....
If the file has the ID3v2 removed, via mp3rage etc, then it also returns to a normal file. I have done a few tests on iTunes downloaded podcasts, and this does work. However you also lose lots of extra info, such as long titles and descriptions in the lyrics or comments sections, plus artwork.
This is a bit of a pain, but you can copy and paste between old and new file with mp3rage. Slow, but better than clipped info.
So copy the files to a new folder.
drag folder to edit multiple files tags
set ID3v2 to none, ID3v1 to 1.1 and check both boxes & change genre - click update.
now set ID3v2 tag to v2.2.0 and click update.
copy and paste any info you want between old and new files via iTunes and/or mp3rage.
delete old files.
I'm certain this works, and is easy if you don't have long names or need the extra tag info.

  • I converted aif files to mp3 files in I tunes so I could put them on a flash drive.  Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files in the flash drive.  How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?

    My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
    Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules.  You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
    There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard.

  • Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please?

    Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please? I will be doing this on an imac 2008 model. thank you for help!

    Since this is the Logic forum and you may be working in Logic, you dont even need iTunes. To convert Aiff to MP3:
    1 - Go to the Bin>Audio Files
    2 - Select the Audio File you want to convert ( and not a region or edit of it)
    3 - Go to Audio File next to the Link icon ( Audio - Edit - View ) and down the menu to Copy/Convert.. gives lots of options

  • Split MP3 file into multiple MP3 files

    I've been through the help section and is till cant seem to figure out how to split a large (2 hour) mp3 file into multiple mp3 files.
    I have a 2 hour MP3 recording (Stereo not mono), and I have added markers (by simply pressing keyboard shortcut 'M' to add marker), but now I would like to know how to split that one mp3 files into multiple files from the markers which I have made...
    All my marker types are "Cue" when i pressed 'M' at the locations I want the track to end/start

    You didn't say which version of the program you're using, but in general, there is a way to do this by adding one additional cue at the very end of the file, then "merging" the cues (which converts the space between each cue into a "range"), and batch processing each range out to a separate file.  (Make sure there's a cue at the beginning of the file, or at least the first material you want in a new file.)
    Now that you've done all that work, I'm going to tell you that what you're doing is probably a bad idea.  Opening any mp3 in Audition and resaving back to mp3 means you've doubled the losses and distortion inherent with the mp3 compression.  Audition can't do lossless editing of mp3s.  The bottom line: are you really splitting the file, and does the result have to be mp3 format?  If saving to a (wave file, or any other lossless format, then what I'm saying doesn't matter.
    In any case, "mp3 Direct Cut" is a terrific freeware program that does lossless mp3 editing, and I'd highly recommend you try it.  It's saved my neck a number of times.  See http://www.mpesch3.de.

  • How do I join multiple mp3 files into one mp3 file?

    Hello,
    I have multiple mp3 files that I would like to join into one mp3 file and to use it as an audio book. This explains how to do it, but in iTunes 12, I do not see an option called "Part of a Compilation" option.
    Is there a way to do it in iTunes without installing a new app?
    Thank you.

    Eugene,
    Those instructions, if I read them correctly, are about how to collect several MP3s into a single audiobook.  They will not create a single continuous MP3.
    iTunes does not have the ability to combine multiple MP3s into a single MP3.  The best it can do is if you burn them to audio CD and then rip back with "Join Tracks" enabled.  The better way is to use an audio editor such as Audacity, or a special purpose combing tool such as MP3 Joiner.

  • Transfering iTunes file to regular mp3 file

    Okay so I have a song that I got from iTunes in my my music folder. I need to transfer it to a regular mp3 file so I can use it on windows movie maker. Do you guys know how to do that? Thanks to all who try to help.

    You can use iTunes to convert any songs in your library that are free of copy protection to 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. 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

  • Can I convert a DRM Windows Media file to a mp3 file?

    Our library offers a site that you can download DRM windows media files. I can't use them on an ipod, so I want to convert them to mp3 files so I can.

    Probably not legally. You might want to check with your library to see what you can do with them, for example, can you burn them to an audio CD? The whole purpose of the DRM is to prevent you from converting or copying the files in ways the rights holder hasn't authorized. Discussions about how to circumvent DRM are not allowed according to the terms of use of these forums. Sorry.

  • Combine files into one MP3 file

    I hope I can explain this correctly, but I want to know if there is a way to combine chapters of a disc into one larger MP3 file. I am importing all of my audiobooks into iTunes so that I can listen to them on my iPhone. However, there are so many discs with chapters that I would like to condense them into fewer but larger files. I hope this would condense the overall memory usage and make it easier to navigate.
    Is there a program on the Mac or for the Mac that can do something like this? I am on an iMac with Snow Leopard.
    THANKS!!!!

    See this -> Join Together
    "Join Together automates the process of joining the files of selected iTunes tracks together with QuickTime and exporting them as a single AAC Music or Audiobook file/track. Optionally, you can then create a "chapterized" audio file of the exported AAC file with pointers to the individually joined tracks."

  • How to replace m4a conversion files with original mp3 files in iTunes library to reduce disk space?

    Hello
    I have a rather large music collection most of which is in mp3 format and also kept in seperate folders to my iTunes music. I had iTunes set up copy media to iTunes folder as m4a so now have two sets of files which are now taking up a large proportion of my hard disk space. Is there an easy way to move my mp3 files into the Itunes folder to replace the copies then delete the copied files.
    Many thanks

    By m4a are we talking compressed AAC?  Those don't take up any more room than the equivalent mp3 and probably give you better quality.
    Are you positive those files are m4a?  If iTunes is set to copy media when you add it to the library I don't think it converts.  It only converts when you import.
    Since we're not talking replacing mp3s with mp3s I don't know if there is an way to more or less invisibly replace the files.  If you were replacing a file with one of identical file name, you can trick iTunes into accepting it.  Since the new files end in mp3 and the old ones in m4a I suspect you will end up having to add the new files and delete the others.  This will of course mean you have to rebuild playlists and update tags.  Before you delete the old copy you can use Dougscript "Copy Tag Info Tracks To Tracks" to transfer some of the tag information that you might wish to retain such as playcount, ratings, last played, etc.

  • How can i convert a .cda file to an mp3 file

    how can i convert a .cda file to an mp3 file

    Actually, CDA only represents a shortcut of audio track. In reality, it does not have any music file in it. That's the reason why you cannot play the files without the original CD in your computer drive. To solve this problem, you'd better convert your CDA files to the most common mp3 format. To know more about how to do that, you can refer to this article, hope it helps!
