Published with audio files, AAC Okay, MP3 'No Go'

Hello all.
I've put a couple of music, excerpts on my iWeb website; I discovered something after I published, one audio file is AAC and it loads properly on Safari on all my 3 macs (iMac at home, Office G5 via office intranet and MacBook in office with cable modem), but the audio file with MP3 has just the 'QuickTime' logo on it, you can't even play the music.
Which is "funny" because I thought with Safari and QuickTime, should be able to play all formats of music? At least AAC and MP3? The music files are all encoded or re-encoded respectively via iTunes.
I decided to use MP3 instead is I am afraid some browsers or computers (older maybe?) will not be able to play AAC files?
Thanks and cheers

iWeb writes page code to use the QuickTime browser plug-in so it wouldn't matter what audio format was used (as long as QuickTime supports it).
The trouble is a "Fast Start" problem with your .mp3 files.
Most exports from iTunes uses the newer .m4v or .m4a file extension and they should fast start (play as the file continues to download). You should consider exporting your .mp3 files to AAC (using the same settings currently used in them).
Your page visitors would need to have QuickTime installed no matter what format you used so trying to "help" them by using .mp3 files is lost in the iWeb page coding.
You'll also realize a file size savings on most of your AAC conversions versus using MPEG-1 Layer 3 format. These smaller file sizes help speed up your download.

How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail

How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail?
My computer is Windows 7 and my Itunes software version is 1.0.2
Many thanks in advance...

iTunes 1.0.2 is +at least+ eight years old.
The current version is 9.2, and it's free.
If that was a typo, and you're using something more current:
In the iTunes preferences, change the import settings to mp3.
Then select the songs you wish to convert.
From the "Advanced" menu, choose "Create mp3 version".
When done, change the import settings back to Apple Lossless.
That's it.
BTW, this is the Logic Pro forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes.

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

Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

Hey,
Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes. Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor. I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
Matt

Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro. So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment.
It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav?
I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.
Thank you for folowing up on this.
PS. I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect. It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore? You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?
Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right?

Pdf with audio files

When I exported iBooks author file with audio files to a pdf file, I cannot play audo files. How can I make a pdf file with audo files from iBooks author? Any commnets are aprpreciated.

Not going to happen (in this context), sorry.
Consider PDFs as review tools, not replacements for interactive books.

I rec'd a CD with audio files. The suffix is .v09, and they won't play on iTunes. Any idea what I should do?

I rec'd a CD with audio files. The suffix is .v09, and they won't play on iTunes. Any idea what I should do?
I have a MacBook, OS X.

No helpful information seems to be available about this, except that on Windows .v09 indicates an unknown extension - in other words they could be anything. What do you get if you highlight the file and hit command-i - does the info pane give you any file type?
The best thing would be to ask the person who sent you the CD what they are; if you can't do this you can only try opening it in various programs. Audacity is a free audio editor which can open a number of formats. You could try dragging it to a browser icon in case it's Flash, or try the Windows Media Player. However there's a good chance that it's one of the obscure audio formats, in which case you very likely won't be able to play it.

Captivate 1.0 - can't publish with audio on Vista

I imported several audio files in my Captivate 1.0 movies
running on Windows Vista. The problem is that there is no sound
after the movie is published to SWF. I can hear audio in editing
mode, when I press space to play the current slide (red playhad
moves). BTW, only WAV (PCM) can be imported, not mp3.
Any ideas how to get audio exported to swf with the rest of
the movie?

As far as I can recall, the audio gets exported at the same

and swf). If you are using the html file to launch your outputs and
not getting any sound, then I can only assume that it is because of
Vista. Only Captivate 3 is vista compatable and you say you are
using Captivate 1. Further, Captivate 1 can import mp3 format
files, select "Audio" from the menu, then "Import".
I know this does not help you, but maybe someone else has a
further idea on teh sound problem.
Cheers

I know how to import mp3 but it's not working on Vista with
Captivate 1.0. It works on WinXP though.
I know I end up with two files: SWF and html. I tried to open
swf in stand alone flash player. No sound.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid my team will have to do the
publishing on WinXP machines. We have enough Captivate 1.0 licences
but Captivate 3.0 upgrade is very expensive.

Help needed with audio files in pdf

I added mp3 audio files to a multi page pdf document via Acrobat Pro and the files play fine for me when I open the pdf. My client, however, doesn't even see the audio player rectangles after opening the pdf. Is there something I'm missing to make these files play for everyone who opens the document, every time? My client prefers that the audio files be embedded in the pdf, rather than using links.

Hi The CountryCamera,
Do you know how your client is opening the PDF files with the embedded audio (Reader, Acrobat on Mac OS or Windows)?
If your client is on Mac OS, please check out this thread: Re: Audio files not showing/working on a Mac - solution?
Best,
Sara

Audio file converted to MP3

I am using FCP 10.7.5. I recorded some sound bites and then converted them to MP3. They sound great on FCP but like a robot on MP3 or Aiff. Why are they converting so badly? They sound terrible.

Thanks Tom. This was not for a video project. It is for an audio TBT. They requested the file be in MP3. It sounds great in Final Cut and Final Cut Pro 10.7.5 allows you to share these files as an MP3 but once it is converted the file soundslike a robot. Not natural at all. Any idea why? What can i do about it? I tried having Final Cut save them as an aiff with the same result. I took the aiff into Itunes hoping it would convert it better. its did not.
I would appreciate any insight.

Page document with audio file not sent by email

Hello and blessed Christmas to everybody.
Here is my problem.
I created a pages documents with images and an audio file from iTunes inside.
Sharing it by Mail, (and converting it in PDF so that anybody without pages be able to open it) I see that the audio file is not present or not playing inside my mail.
Is this because of the conversion in PDF?
But I'm afraid of PC user not being able to see it if I let it in Pages.
Thanks for your tips.
Cathy

Of course! I must have been inattentive. AsI don't have Adobe acrobat pro I sent everything in word and pages.
Thanks

Pdf with audio files embedded - Acrobat Pro 8 vs Acrobat Reader XI - suggestions?

Hi, I have a problem with a pdf (containing embedded audio files) created with Acrobat Pro 8.
So, two questions for you.
1) When I open it with Acrobat Reader XI, the audio files won't be reproduced.
Windows 7 and 8 tell me that there is a codec problem.
Finding the right codec seems to be very hard (looking on the previous threads in this forum I found some links to websites offering codec packs, but when you download them it seem they start offering many other things to download, and this stresses a lot).
Any other suggestions?
2) The other question is kind of reverse of the first one: if I create a pdf with Acrobat XI, will an Acrobat Reader 8 or 9 be able to open it and listend to the audio files???
Thank you,
aliB

Dear Pat,
I try to write it again.
Unfortunately installing Flash doesn't solve the problem on Windows 7 and 8 (on the XP it works).
Kind regards
Alessandra

Resolution of album arts associated with audio files - downscaled?

The iPod can display album art with a maximum resolution of 240 by 240 pixels. What happens if a picture file of higher resolution is associated with some audio tracks?
Is it being downscaled and then, with far less space required, transfered to the device?
And another question unrelated to the one above: I saw the font size changing between audio files, although their file name or description isn't longer than the ones being displayed regularly. Is this a bug?
Is there a way to change the font size? It'd be very handy since titles of tracks that are longer than the screen can display, it's a mess to wait until it scrolled all the way through...
Thanks!

Hello dr. orange,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is it being downscaled and then, with far less space required, transfered to the device?
That is correct. During the syncing process, a smaller scaled down version of each track's artwork is created and then transferred to the iPod.
I'm not entirely sure about the font size issue you are seeing, but there is no way to adjust this on the Nano.
If you wish to, you can provide feedback to Apple on it through this link.

Hope this helps.

Sound VIs with audio files

I've been stuck with this VI that's supposed let the user set the frecuency and volume of an audio file, and play it.
I managed to get the frecuency part working with Play Waveform, but that doesn't let the volume be modified (or the playback to be stopped before it finishes, as far as I know). So I tried writing it directly into the sound card with the other Sound VIs, but I've only managed distortion with continuous samples, or silence and crashes with finite ones, which are what I understand I should be using.
I've been trying to figure this out for hours, and I think most of my problems come from my lack of understanding of how the Sound VIs work, despite reading their help and support pages several times.
I've attached my latest VI. The playback doesn't work at all and it may crash your computer if it's anything like mine, but as long as you don't try to play anything it should be safe.

Hi. I'm sorry for the late reply.
In the end, I managed to get the VI working by mofifying the program entirely. I'm still no sure what kept causing the crashes, but I'll try to figure it out at a later time using your advice.
I'm very thankful for your reply, it made me realize there's a lot of tools in LabView that I've been ignoring because I never received proper instruction on the program.

Program to remove sound from video and join video with audio file?

With which program can I remove the sound of a video and join/sync the video file with another audio file?
Thank you

Can I suggest using something that will allow audio capture from the external mic. to start with. Then you will have a video with audio in sync, in a format that you can re encode into whatever format you wish.
But, if you must do that. Dump the video from the handycam file, then put the mics audio file with it. ffmpeg -i video ffmpeg -i audio into whatever container and codecs that you want. You may have to adjust audio-video sync
ffmpeg -i audio -itsoffset 0.1 -i video
Search this forum and the web. There are hundreds of ffmpeg examples. And the ffmpeg man
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html
ffmpeg will do just about anything, but is a little daunting. Ask specific questions and you'll get specific answers. Or find a front end for it. I never use them.

Has anyone experienced the issue of Presenter 9 publishing duplicated audio files?

I have a user that created a presentation in Presenter 8, we upgraded to Presenter 9, she edited an audio file, published the Presentation and now it sounds like there are 2 people talking at the same time. The strange part is it is not on the edited audio slide it is on all of the other slides. Adobe cannot give me a resolution. Anyone have this issue?

Hi!
I had the same issue and here is how I solved it:
1. Open the audio in Edit from the Presenter toolbar
2. You will find that most likely, the person recording recorded twice and that the audio appears one take after the other. Listen to both takes (they will be in succession).
3. Select the audio take you don't want and delete it.
4. Playback and voila! One person talking.
On the other hand, it's a good way to get a "crowd" effect. I think this happens when you don't hit the Save for the recording, and just begin recording again.
Have a great day!
