Problem Importing Music from

Hello, I just setup my network attached storage and I'm having problems importing music from it. I get a runtime error with CTImport.exe "abnormal program termination", nice and informati've (see below). I'm running MediaSource 3.30.2, the most recent version. I can add songs little by little, but anytime I try and import a bunch, I get the error. It's not the length of the pathname either, because I added the longest one individually, and it was fine.
I tried importing from a mapped dri've letter and from the network path directly, both have same problem. I also get the same error from the file sniffer built into MediaSource.
I'm actually running an external USB hard dri've that is attached to Linksys's Storage Link NLSU2 (or something). Don't know if that is the problem. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I originally had all my songs on my local dri've. Anyway, it turned out to be a "corrupt" file. This file was fine in every other media player I had, but MediaSource couldn't do anything with it, not even play it (it was an unprotected .wma). I don't know if that song was originally imported while on the local dri've, but I deleted it and MediaSource imported everything fine.
It was a pain hunting that one song down.
Thanks.

Problem importing music from audio CD

I upgraded to i-tunes 7.4.3.1 & since then cannot import audio CDs. The audio cd is recognised in Devices, I can see all the tracks, I can import the tracks, they appear in the Library but they will not play. Each imported track is shown in the library as being 789.57.13 duration. If I try to play the tracks it jumps to the next track in the Library and plays that.
I ran the CD diagnostics and the results are pasted below. I would appreciate any help as this is SO frustrating!! Thanks.

Problem importing music from usb to itunes

I purchased windows 8 recently and am having a problem importing midi file song via USB.
IE/ my itune library won't accept with no explanation offered.
can anyone help

Oh and also I have played these CDs on Windows Media player and two stereo systems and they play fine!

ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.

Imported music from a CD does add to library, stays in Recently Added playlist

Imported music from a CD does add to library, stays in Recently Added playlist.

Having the same problem. Album imported on CD won´t appear in my music on Itunes! It´s in the Itunes files and in the Recently Added folder, but it won´t appear!
I can play it from the outside file! So frustrating.

Is it possible for me to import music from my pc?

I have been able to import any music off of my pc that I had downloaded from the internet. The problem is that it seems all of my full albums (wva files) say they are downloading, but I cannot find them in my itunes library. The only thing that has worked so far is burning the wva files onto a disc from my pc, and then downloading them to my itunes library on my mac.
I have already tried:
1-File sharing on the network
2-Using a flash drive to transfer
What can/should I do?

HELP! I am using a Mac running OS 10.4.10 NOT a PC.
Somehow my question got lost as I did NOT ask "Is it possible for me to import music from my pc?"
Here's my question again:
I want to place a piece of music that I purchased from iTunes [ocean sounds] in iWeb AND to play that sound clip continutously.
In iTunes I am able to have the sound repeat. In iTunes, with the repeat song selected, I dragged the clip from iTunes into iWeb.
In iWeb I am able to play the ocean sounds but the piece does NOT repeat.
A. How do I get the piece to play continuously?
B. How do I enable the sound to begin playing when the iWeb page is opened?
Thanks

Using External CD Rom drive to import music from CD to Itune

I have itunes 6.0 on an XP laptop, and an external TDK DVD/CDrom drive. Itunes imports music from CDs when I use the drive on the laptop, however, only imports links (seem like URL links) when I use the external drive to import music from a CD into a playlist.
I am trying to use the external CD rom drive for importing music into Itunes, but there seems to be a problem, or I have not checked some box or the other. Can someone help??
Thanks

First, Jaguar does not come on a DVD. The standard Jaguar release comes on two CDs. What you probably have is a gray color OEM DVD or a copy that was made for a specific Mac model and will not work with your computer. Furthermore, in order to run OS X on your computer you must first install a firmware update.
You also need at least 128 MBs of RAM for OS X and at least 3 GBs of free space on the hard drive during installation. Your particular model requires that OS X be installed on a drive or partition that is less than 8 GBs. If your hard drive is larger than 8 GBs it must be partitioned such that the first partition is no larger than 7.85 GBs and OS X must be installed in that partition. The drive must also be formatted Mac OS Extended (HFS+).
Furthermore, you cannot boot OS X from a USB drive, only from a Firewire drive.
You will need to get the correct Jaguar installers. You can purchase the right package at www.applerescue.com. Your particular model is compatible with Panther thru 10.3.9. Panther would be a better choice than Jaguar because it is much faster even on your iMac. However, OS X will not be very fast on your computer because it lacks CPU speed and video horsepower. If you continue to install OS X, then you should plan to install the maximum of 512 MBs of RAM that iMac supports.

Importing music from CD

I am Running XP and Itunes 5
I have been busy importing music from my CD collection which because of lack of space has to be stored away. Recently I have found that when inserting a cd in the cd drive Itunes will not recognise that their is a cd there.
When using other media players they all recognise the cd, I have removed as much as I can in the way of audio software just in case there is a conflict but to no avail.
This appears to be intermittent but I have not managed to determine or identify any common thread that could lead to the development of the problem.
I also appear to be unable to import music files that have been previously stored on my PC. When I open the folder/s they appear to be empty yet I know they contain the audio tracks I am looking for. I suspect it is something to do with the format of the stored files which are either MP3 or WAV files.
Any help would be appreciatted

You need to be connected to the Internet and also have iTunes unblocked by any of your security programs.
Also try:
- Select (highlight) all songs on an Album
- Advanced=>Get CD Track Namne
That will attempt to force a query to the CDDB (Gracenote)

HT1473 Is there a way to import music from a cd to an iPad?

Is there a way to import music from a cd to an iPad?

Not without going through iTunes... Well, strictly speaking there are other tools that can copy audio files into the iPad's memory, but iTunes is the way that is supported, and using iTunes ensures the device can be backed up. Useful should you need to restore the device in the event of a problem, or a replacement in the event of loss, theft, or damage.

Soundtrack crashing when importing music from CD

Im trying to import music from a CD onto the timeline. I load about 4 or 5 songs onto the track and it crashes. I've deleted the plist. I've just replaced the CD drive. They are new CD's - and it has happened with a number of different CD's. Any ideas? I reinstalled Soundtrack -- although I did not uninstall it first.
Soundtrack 1.5

How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook?

How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook - the drive is showing it has over 3GB of info on it but none of the files are showing up in finder? I had backed up my iTunes library on the flash drive about a year and a half ago before I switched from a dell to a MacBook pro.

What I found works for me is to make sure iTunes keeps the music files organzied in the iTunes Media folder according to album, artists, etc. and that it copies the music files there when adding them to the library. That way, if something happens to the library, the raw files can always be re-imported again.

I have home sharing on 2 computers, can i import music from on computer to the other permenently?

i have home sharing on 2 computers, can i import music from on computer to the other permenently?

if the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked in iTunes > preferences > advanced, files you transfer via homesharing are copied permanently to the other library.

Is there a way to import music from my ipod to the computer?

is there a way to import music from my ipod to the camputer?
I have music from all over the world and i want to import all of it to my computer..

Sorry for insulting Apple. This whole thing has me frustrated. You would think that this is an easy thing...which it is after downloading the third party software and all.
I am just a bit edgy after talking to 3 customer support folks for almost 2 hours, who I could barely understand and then having them just tell me to download the files again. 3500+ songs...jumping out the window was looking more pleasant (jk). Now I have to explain to the wife why the phone is busted in-two...lol.
Anyway, I was able to get hooked up with some software and it seems to be downloading fine. I am using iPodCopy. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction and putting up with a bit of attitude. I am sure they have their reasons for not making this an easier operation.
