Question about "Convert ID3 Tags" command

I just used "Convert ID3 Tag" to convert all the songs in a library to ID3v2.4. When it was done, abotu half the album art had been killed. I have a backup, so nothing is lost, but I did not expect this to happen. My questions: (1) Is this expected behavior or a bug?, and (2) Any ideas why some album art survived and some did not?

Thank you! I actually managed to figure it out myself before you replied.
For anyone else out there who might be interested:
Change the import settings in iTunes > Preferences > General, to Apple Lossless Encoder. Then you can select the files/albums you want to convert, and click on the Advanced menu while holding down the Options/Alt-key, and click "Create Apple Lossless Version". I found that it doesn't actually convert the existing WAV-files, but creates an Apple Lossless copy of every single file, so I had to spend some time weeding out the WAV-files afterwards. This is a one-time effort, though, as every CD will be imported as Apple Lossless from now on.
Better still, solved my problem with the album artwork!

Convert ID3 Tags

I've got a problem with ID3 tags. As far as i've been using iPod there was no such problem, but now my iPod is broken and i'm using nokia e50 smartpohone instead. The phone doesn't support ID3v2.4 so I had to downgrade all my tags to v2.3
But in some cases (later i've found those "cases" were encoded with iTunes) no conversion is possible.
my question is: how to enable the "Convert ID3 Tags" for iTunes encoded files? or if it's impossible what should I do to convert tags without using iTunes

If you're up to it, the following should work.
Download and install foobar2000 if you don't already use it. Add the unprotected AAC files to the main playlist window. Select them all, right-click, and choose Tagging > Rewrite File Tags.
Note: At this point, you may need to remove the same files from your iTunes library and add them back again if you will be transferring the files directly from iTunes to your phone. Otherwise, moving the files from their default location to your phone should work just fine.

"Converting ID3 Tags" Option disappeared? iTunes 8.0.2

Hey everyone!
I'm right now struggling to get my iPod to work again, and I have so many problems, but I think converting ID3 tags would help.
But then the option of "Converting ID3 tags" seemed to have disappeared.
It's not in the Advanced tab, nor is it in the right-click menu.
I need help asap, since my iPod is already acting crazy by not being able to download all of my files in once sync.
Thanks a bunch guys!

It's still there. (iTunes 8.0.2)
In the right-click option menue.
Just select the song(s) in iTunes library view.

Convert ID3 Tags Grayed Out

Seems to be confined to CDs that I import using Gracenote and convert to Apple Lossless. Very frustrating as other software I use needs ID3 tags and this porcess just does not seem to preserve tham properly. I think "Convert ID3 tags" would fix this but it does not seem to be an option.
Can any other software do this conversion?

Yes, you can right-click on a file or files in your iTunes library or playlist or press Apple+i, and then go to the Info tab to edit the metadata.

Questions about converting files in order to import to iMovie '09?

I was able to import the videos from my camera (.mts files) into iMovie '09, but now when I click Import from Camera, iSight opens up instead. Since I can't find out why it won't open up my camera files now, I have decided on just converting the files. I just have a question about converting though. The videos I recorded from my camera are in HD. They're very good quality. If I convert the videos from .mts into .mp4, would that reduce the quality of the video?

When that happens to me I get stubborn and make iMovie see the camera by shutting down and reopening iMovie, because I don't want another level of transcoding. If that doesn't work and you have a card reader of even better, a sd slot on your iMac, just plug the card in. If it appears on the desktop iMovie should see it, and if it appears on your desktop then iMovie should read it.
I have a Canon HFS 100 that works best if I take the card out and plug it into the computer.
The times I converted to .mp4, I thought the quality did degrade, because it had to be converted to .mp4 and then imported as AIC. But I am not an expert on whether iMovie can deal with .mp4 directly.
Canons require that one have the camcorder plugged into a power outlet, another reason to use a card reader.
What kind of camcorder do you have? With some camcorders, if one takes both photos and video, the video won't be read.
When nothing works, occasionally deleting iMovie preferences works.

Where's The Convert ID3 Tag option in iTunes 11?

What happened to the convert ID3 tag option in iTunes 11? It no longer appears when I right-click on a song.
Because iTunes still saves the ID3 tags in imported MP3's as v2.2, I have to convert the tags to v2.3 so that the MP3 information is recognized by my car radio.

Just to clarify for anyone else still having troubles.
Convert ID3 Tags... is still in iTunes 11, but it only shows up when you right-click on audio tracks while in Song or List View.
To recap:
You MUST be in List or Song View.
You can NOT be in Grid, Artist List, or Album View.
Also, please remember that ID3 Tags are only for MP3/MPEG audio files, and NOT MP4/AAC/Apple Lossless audio files.
Hope this helps.

Converting ID3 tags: v2 to v1 then back to v2?

I converted a lot of my ID3 tags to ver. 1 so they would display properly on my CD player in the car. Can these be set back to ver. 2 again with losing anything. Please don't tell me I have to reimport the CD's again.....

If the version 1.x tags shortened any of the data fields stored in the original files, then that information will still be gone when you convert your tags back to version 2.x (2.3 recommended).
Unfortunately, iTunes isn't a player that encodes MP3s with both version 1.x and 2.x tags (at the same time), so it's best in a situation like this to make copies of the MP3 files you want to edit, and revert back to your original files after burning MP3 CDs, etc.
In the worst case, you shouldn't need to reimport your CDs; you may just have to add some missing information back into your tags once they're converted back to version 2.x.

Converting ID3 tags on iTunes/Folder problems

I just go my nano and am setting up the music files I've been collecting over the years, some of which don't have ID3 tags.
It seems when I load my libray it automatically converts the files, but it drops them into their own folder (artist, album name etc).
I would rather keep all my music files in the one root directory for easier access. Can anyone tell how I can do that through iTunes?
I've gone to the Preferences --> Advanced page and set up my iTunes folder and checked the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" box.
But when I add the files on the library, it sets up these folders I don't want.
Thanks

] I would rather keep all my music files in the one root directory
Disable "Keep iTunes Music folder Organized" & "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" in iTunes Preferences, Advanced tab. Future files added to the library will stay right where they came from. The setting for "Music folder location" will only apply to new imports from CD and music purchases through the store. Setting this value to an existing folder of music will not tell iTunes to "discover" the music that already lives there.
iTunes relies exclusively on ID3 tags. If your files don't include tags, then you need to get a 3rd party tag utility like "Tag & Renamer" or "ID3-TagIt" and get those V2.3 tags loaded into all your files. Those utilities can even generate the tags based on the folder names containing the files.

General question about converting...

Hi,
I'm kinda new to editing and I'm working on a project here using PP CS3 and a lot of footage in .vob file format.
I've read some posts in this forum, and I know that a lot of people have problems importing .vob files and that a lot of users recommend using Premiere Elements.
Now that is for a few reasons not an option for me, and I've kinda had a good expercience importing .vob files via the Avisynth method, which really works perfectly (no red frames, etc.) - BUT PP starts crashing when exporting a project bigger than 2-3 min using those .vob files...
That does not happen when I use .avi (or other) footage...
I've read in other posts that people recommend converting the .vob files to (uncompressed) .avi - and I tried that, but it seems to me - just looking at the footage - that the quality is slightly worse...
Is that in general the case, that you loose quality when converting to .avi (or maybe converting in general) ?
What output format would you recommend converting to (from .vob) when trying to keep the quality but getting a smaller file size than uncompressed .avi ?
Btw, I use Carbon Coder for converting the footage...
Thanx for your help in advance !
Mike

Harm,
thanx for your reply.
The footage was given to me in .vob file format, so I can't play it through the camera...
And coming back to the Apple Juice ;), I know that the quality did already take a hit that's why I'm (desperately) trying to keep the quality we have to start with...
What about converting to .avi using the HuffYUV codec (read that in another post)?
Mike

Question about changing ID3 images

Hey everyone. I recently changed my podcast artwork. I use Powerpress, so changing the MAIN artwork was quite easy. So for this question, I am referencing only the individual art that is displayed with each individual episode.
I know that for iTunes to recognize a change in episode artwork, that it cannot have the same name as the previous. The new artwork embedded does have a new name but is it the artwork that needs a different name, or the entire mp3 that needs a new name? Once artwork becomes embedded as ID3 I'm not sure if it loses its name altogether. So I need to know specifically what needs a new name for iTunes to update my episode art? Pic name or mp3 name?
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for the response Roger.
So just to be clear, I have changed the images embedded in my MP3s. I then re-uploaded them to Libsyn using the replace function. So I now have MP3s with the exact same name as before, but with a new image embedded. Are you saying iTunes will see the image change in each episode even though the name of my MP3 is exactly the same?
So far, iTunes has immediately updated my main podcast image but all my individual episodes still have the old image.
You can probably see what I'm talking about by searching iTunes for Netflix Junkies. You'll see that 'episodes' has different artwork than 'podcasts' in the search results. Do I just need to wait it out? Or rename my mp3s?
Keep in mind, there is another podcast with the same name no artwork. This is not my podcast but someone else's.
Thanks again!

Question about BC4J data tags, Oracle sessions and Locking!

Hi ,
I have seen numerous examples of JSPs using data tags and in all the examples the data tag for the application module has the "username" and "password" harcoded in it.
My questions are:
1) For a stateful application should we be including the username and password in every JSP page. I personally believe that we should not.
2) If we have a username and password in every JSP page will it not start a new ORACLE user session and if so will it not cause locking problems?
3) If we don't hard code the username and password in every JSP page, will it reuse the same ORACLE session ?
4) How do we avoid locking problems when we use data tags?
5)I can understand the inclusion of username and password in every JSP page if it is a stateless application but again Is there a way we can avoid hardcoding the username and password in every single page?
I would appreciate if some one can let me know if any of my assumptions are incorrect.
JDeveloper Team/Juan any advice?

The username and password are optional. They can be provided via the connections.properties file. The multple entries for username and password don't mean that separate connection are made. The first time the ApplicationModule tag is encountered, your application instance is created. If you are running in reserved mode (look at your releasePageResources tag) the application instance is kept until your Http session times out. If you are running in Stateful or Stateless mode, you application instance is returned to the application pool and retrieved the next time you need an instance. Please refer to the application pool documentation and to the source in oracle\jbo\common\ampool provided in jbohtmlsrc.zip.

Question about converting to 128kbps for iphone 4

good day. i was wondering about the 'convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps' option. i always import my bought cd's in apple lossless, and i guess the music i buy on itunes is 256, so that said i have a few playlists on my 16gb iphone 4 and with all the other stuff on there i still have 9gb's free. would it be worth it to me to convert the songs to 128kbps? will the sound be noticeably worse? i have what are considered really good headphones as well so how will that work out as well? thanks for any help. really wondering about the sound quality in case i end up using more of my memory with pics and apps in the future.

would it be worth it to me to convert the songs to 128kbps? will the sound be noticeably worse?
On the iPhone while moving around, sitting in an office, doing stuff, you will likely not notice any difference.
Perhaps if you sit in a very quiet room and really concentrate on listening, you may notice very minor differnece in quality.
That option is to save space on the iDevice. If you have plenty, don't use it.
Note that when you use this option on the Summary screen in iTunes, it only converts when adding to the iPhone.
Your library is not changed at all.

Question about ACE show Conn command (tcp duration)

Hello,
I was checking connections and noticed that I would see the initial connection, but after a short time the connection quits showing up in the counters and the “show conn” command. However the user is still up and working.
This is the command I used:
sho conn serverfarm STAGING-HTTPS detail
The output shows all the connection info from source to destination, and in the ESTABLISHED state.
However, after maybe 2~3 minutes, when I up arrow I don't see any connection info. The web page is still up. If I refresh the web page, I do see the connections come in.
Can someone kindly point me to a document or provide an answer on how long should the connection be stored before they are flushed?
Config profile:
4 real servers
HTTPS protocol
Leastconn for predictor
sticky based on src/dst IP
Thanks,
Raman

Raman,
If you would play with a sniffer capture, you could answer the question yourself.
If the browser loads a flash object or a java applet, once it is loaded, you can still work on the page but there is no data transfer.
with a sniffer tool you could see the browser closing the connections.
The default TCP idle timeout on ACE is 1 hour.
