Question about streaming itunes music files (AAC Format) to my Sony Bravia TV.

I am streaming iTunes music files tfrom my Laptop to my Sony TV; the files are in AAC format.   However a Sony technician said I need to convert them to MP3 for the streaming to work properly.
It seems to work OK without converting them so why should I convert them?
And more importantly, if I convert them to MP3, will iTunes continue to work right?  And will iTunes still synch to my Nano and to my iPhone4?
Thanks for any wisdom you all can offer.

No.
You would have to have itunes running in order to stream music, or, as you point out, have an appleTV

  • I have a question about exporting a music file from Express.

    Hi, I'm a new Logic Express user and I have a question.
    I have been using Garageband for some time and I figured I needed a higher level of music producing. Now, I have created a song in Logic Express. However, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPORT IT! it was so much in GB. But Now, I'm having trouble. I looked through the manual more than once and I can't find a way to export my logic file as an Mp3 file.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks!

    In the file menu there is a BOUNCE option, when you bounce it you can set it to convert to an MP3 right there or you can do it in iTunes. Its up to you.

  • ITunes music file modifications

    I used "Audio Edit - Merge Split" to modify a mp3 file in the iTunes Music file. Merely trimmed the length. Now It's not recognized by iTunes as before.
    How do I get that song into it's former position in the Music Database?
    I'm running OS 10.9.4, iTunes 11.3.1, and the full version of Audio Edit - Merge Split.

    If these are tracks purchased from iTMS you can't convert them to another format as they are DRM copy protected. If you need them in MP3 for instance you can burn them to Audio CD and import them back as MP3. If they are normal unprotected AAC (MP4) files that you ripped from CD then you can convert them directly using iTunes: How to convert a song to a different format

  • Locking the itunes music file?

    I have just spent several days sorting out my music files, and I think I have fianlly got it OK now.
    My question is this..
    In order to avoid screwing up the folder I now have on my external Hard Drive, is it possible for me to lock that folder, and therefore keep it "safe"?
    During this whole process of sorting things out, I have made some real rookie errors in how I copied files to different locations, and as a result there are itunes music files and folders all over my computer. I am hoping to secure the "good" folder and then delete all the rest of these files and folders.
    How about if I simply reboot without the external HD plugged in?
    Ideas anyone?
    Thanks
    Bart

    Was I suppose to click on the "music" folder that was already in the itunes folder, or click on the "music" folder on the external drive that I thought I already copied to Itunes music. I clicked on the folder already in itunes and all it did was give me duplicates of the songs in my libary and theres some that still aren't being found.

  • How can I  move the 'Itune music file' to another disk

    Hello
    I am using ITUNE in a Winfow XP environnement. I am running out of space on my C disk. How can I move my ITUNE music file
    C:\Documents and Settings\Yves\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    to another bigger partition on the same computer?
    Sorry if that question as been answered before I may have missed it.
    Thanks Yves.

    Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
    One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

    How can I play my itunes music files on my internet radio? Is there an App for iPad or iMac?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

  • I have three questions about managing my music library

    Hello,
    I have three questions about managing my music library, I hope you can help me with them:
    1) Is there a limit of how many entries, songs, albums, art work, can iTunes handle? I have a hunch iTunes is like a database program and am curious about its capacity. I have two 2-TB drives and am wondering what is going to happen when I fill these two drives up. Other than disk space, what are iTunes limitations?
    2) Talking about these two drives. How can I use both as a source for my iTunes library. Can I have two folders selected as the source of my library? I am not sure if I have enough disk space to hold all my music, but I do also have a 1TB almost empty drive is need be.
    3) OK now comes te real question. I am sure that I have duplicates in my library and I sure would love to clean my library up.Possiby if I do get to clean it up, I can save some disk space and that is always a good thing. Any good techniques, software, techniques to follow while ripping music to help keep my library organized. Please be as detailed as you can.
    Thanks and I can't wait to hear from you.

    As far as I know you're going to run out of disc space before you hit any limits. Each object in iTunes has a 64-bit key to access it. That said as your library grows it will get less responsive as bigger indexes take exponentially longer to process.
    2) Talking about these two drives. How can I use both as a source for my iTunes library. Can I have two folders selected as the source of my library? I am not sure if I have enough disk space to hold all my music, but I do also have a 1TB almost empty drive is need be.
    iTunes wants to manage everything inside one big folder. Some idiosyncrasies with the way it manages things if you have to move to a new drive means it is best if you can stick to that plan. If your library grows larger then you'll have to take manual control of where some or all of your content is stored. I use a variation of a script called ConsolidateByMoving which you could adapt for your needs.
    3) OK now comes te real question.

    When it comes to deduping I've written another script for that called DeDuper, see this thread for background.

  • I have two different itunes music files on my computer.  How do I combine them into one file?

    I have two different itunes music files on my computer.  How do I combine them into one file?

    I don't think so. The only other ID I have is a developer id, and I didn't get that until several months after I got the phone. In addition purchases I made from the App Store onthe phone would sync up with It unes on the Mac meaning it would be the same id.
    However I looked at the AppStore on my phone while it was connected to the Mac with iTunes open, and now the balance has changed to the same as the others.

  • Is there a resource fork with iTunes music files?

    I want to put a few iTunes music files on an SD card and plug it into my Panasonic TV for sort of instant access.
    It worked and sounded OK, except I get two files on the SD card for every file in iTunes (the second one isn't recognized).
    I seem to remember this was an issue with JPG image files and people used GraphicsConverter to remove the resource fork.
    Is that the problem I'm having - the resource fork showing up as an unreadable file?
    Is there a way to remove it? GC won't.
    Or is it something else?
    Thanks, HNick

  • I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

    Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC  machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Larry

    I found an solution.
    Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.

  • Question about lead in music for podcasting.

    Question about lead in music for podcasting.
    I listen to many other podcasts and there are those which play lead in music with bit of music inside their podcast. The music are songs we all know and enjoy. I have notice that they only play short small clips of these songs and are not royalty free songs.
    My Question would be is there a limit of time which you can play any song with out paying for it and use it in a podcast legally.
    Thanks Mike

    Legally you cannot use copyright music without written permission or a licence from a recognized authority, no matter how short the clip. Many people do this and get away with it (and for full tracks too) and it's debatable how much notice anyone is likely to take, or whether they would be bothered about a short clip. But the legal position is, it's not legal.
