Record Album to MP3 & Editing MP3 Files

Two issues here.
First, I have a vinyl record album I want to turn into an MP3 file and burn to a CD. I borrowed a Radio Shack record player with built in pre-amp and already have a Sony firewire iLink digital interface.
Second, I have a long (1 ½ hour speech) on MP3 already. I want to go in and edit in and name tracks where the speaker moves on to another subject – kind of like in a music CD when songs change & you can see their names – so listeners of the CD can skip to tracks they want to hear.
Is QuickTime Pro the application for me? Will these tasks be simple enough to figure out?
I have a Mac and a PC so either platform works for me.
Thanks -- dw

Not sure what the firewire interface has to do with this idea, but the general way to record LP's is to use an application designed for this - there is one packaged with Toast. You will just be recording from the audio/line input from the turntable. There are a few applications designed to assist with this task, especially with the noise reduction you are bound to need.
The MP3 speech you can edit in Audacity (free) , just select each of the pieces and export as separate MP3 files, then make an audio CD of each track. Again I'd use Toast to make an audio CD.

Record Audio in mp3 file format using FMS

I am Recording Audio Using FMS which will record Audio file in FLV File Format default But I like to Record in MP3 File Format. Is it Possible.
And I also Record Video In MP4 File Format using h264 encode. Which Give me Video File in MP4 File Format but When i will try to play that MP4 File it Didn't play. So, I post-processed video with a tool called F4V Post Processor. Now That MP4 Video File Play But Didn't Give me Sound in that Video.
My Code is:
        var h264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
        h264Settings.setProfileLevel(H264Profile.MAIN, H264Level.LEVEL_3);
        ns.videoStreamSettings = h264Settings;
        ns.publish("mp4:"+FILENAME+".mp4","record");
I search Lot but didn't get the solution. So, Please Give me Solution for Both thing.

The .flv format is a "container" format, not a video format.
So that means that inside the container, you can have a video file and/or an audio file or even just an audio file.. which most likely is already an mp3 file. Use something like "FLV Extract" to break open the container and see:
http://moitah.net/
But really, for any Web delivery of audio, the .flv (audio only) method works just fine. Lots of media players available for the Flash .flv file.
For example:
Sounds from my bunk on the Lady Washington
http://exploreolympics.com/reports/?p=2857
Scroll down to third media player.
A little quiet to start with... but this is a .flv file with just an mp3 audio file inside.
Best of luck!

Record Microphone to mp3 File

I need to record litraley(sp?) thousands of little ~20 sec
voice memos. And Audition is to CPU intensive for this.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience doin this with
flex or apollo.
thanks

It is possible, but is not easy to setup. Requires Flash
Media Server or Red5, Also requires setting up Linux codec to
transcode audio from NellyMoser audio codec to mp3 or setting up
commercial NellyMoser codec ( price starts at 7,500$).

Oh, Is it? i can't never add album art in my mp3 files without------

Okay let's see i write again cuz my title was abscence some
of words though, ur, my problem? duh~! , this creature
problem is ,urm, in my case, I think NOW ITUNES programmed
cannot able to add any album title which things by
ITUNES Store and Even my computer storage, i've been
so many times tried put the other album of mp3 files.
It werent worked. Well, the purpose of preventing copying
from illegal sound files is till good. BUT The matter isnt
this. SO What should we have to do ,what if we creat
album art ourselves? then what? IT isnt illegal ,dont I?
We have right to free of adding a album art by ourselves
AM I RIGHT?
Im rewrriting my point below if my words are lame i guess.
-O Is it? I can't never add Album Art in my IPOD(fifth Ed.)
without registered in Itunes store?
If it isnt so, Tell me more specific techical solution!
I've been also stick around all the threads, hard to find
the correct answer what im struggling with....
Or Plz bring a new edition of 'Itunes' program to us as
light as possible.
Im stupid with still enjoying myself on IPOD even
the problem exists in my ahead
I blaming this because uncool things but loveya much!

As someone's investigation like below;
It is NOT working the way of adding an Album Art in your POD
On the contrary of this, When we use a mode of 'Sync' files
from my ITUNE's Library Lists than it worked outrageously
Yea, the other users have been faced with this
freaky yeuky things earlier than me. So the light bulb
is : We gotta waiting for Patching for ITUNE7.
ps : Sometimes, But the SYNC mode make my hands and
my body everything tired...
I hope someone might be helpful
pps : DO any better idea? Catch Me then
and Thx read my lame phrase....

Can't import mp3 file to LE7

I'm a new mac convert, and a new logic user (awaiting v8 upgrade).
I frequently record gigs, rehearsals and lessons on an Edirol R09 flash recorder, as 320K mp3 files. On the PC, for files I wanted to archive, my routine was to pull the file into Cooledit 2000 for editing (usually at least normalize, compress, normalize; sometimes more).
I assumed LE7 would be (though massive overkill) capable of this little routine. But when I try to import one of these mp3s, or drag it into the Arrange window, I get a dialog box with "What kind of file is this" and only an Abort button (i.e., no way to "answer the question").
So, take your pick from two questions:
* How can I do this in LE7/8?
* Is there a more appropriate tool for this purpose?
Thanks

You have to import it into the AUDIO window first, then drag it from there into the arrange window.

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.

Downloaded album art not saved in mp3 file?

When I use iTunes to download missing album art, that art is not being saved in the MP3 file. I verified this behavior by checking that the file timestamp and size didn't change after the art was successfully downloaded and displayed within iTunes. As a second check, I also deleted the music from my library and re-added it, and the art work is missing again.
Only if I drag the jpg image to the blank artwork window does it seem to "stick".
Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, if you download album art through iTunes and then later manually add art to the tag, the downloaded version is replaced. I think it still remains in the folder on your computer, but it does get replaced in the native song file. What I'll do is download the artwork from iTunes, then copy it and paste it directly into the tag for a permanent "attachment" to the song.

How......to Edit MP3 file tag inf

Is there any way to edit the "tag information" or file properties?(ie. artist, track no., album) for an mp3 file before transferring to my Zen Xtra? I often download files or convert cassettes to wav/mp3s and can't figure out how to edit the artist, track no., album info before transferring to the Zen. I've tried right clicks & edits from Creative Media Source and can't find a way to edit this info. Thanks for any help.

In the older versions of MediaSource, you have to import the songs into the PC Music Library and then edit the track information from PC Music Library. In the latest MediaSource v3.30.2?(which you can download from the Web update), you can edit the track information in both MediaSource's My Computer and PC Music Library. It is highly recommended that you download and install the latest MediaSOurce and its various plugins.

How do I change the info (artist,album,etc) on an MP3 file?

I am editing some mp3 files in GarageBand and I need to put in a different artist and album name. When I export the file from GarageBand and open it in iTunes it says that the artist is me and that it is my album. Any help on how I change it? I need to change the files properties and not just the name in iTunes because I need to upload it to the internet and so the artist name needs to be downloaded with it. I am running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1, iTunes version is 12.0.1.26, GarageBand version 6.0.5 (428.5).
Thanks

Change the preferences in GarageBand in the "My Info" settings before you create the project: The "before" is important, because a bug in earlier GarageBAnd versions causes GarageBand to ignore the changes settings, if the project has been created with different "My Info" settings.
You can also enter different settings, when you bounce the song to iTunes using the Share menu:

What is Simplest Way to Edit an MP3 File?

I have an MP3 file of an audio stream that I recorded using Audio Hijack Pro. I have a section at the beginning that I simply want to delete completely. And I also want to break up the big MP3 into three or four individual files. What's the simplest app to use to do this? Thanks.
Steve M.

Well, I use DP for most of my own projects, and that (I assume along with most other DAWs these days) now allows you to directly import/edit/export MP3 data. And I used to buy 'Pro' keys for Quicktime which would then allow you to lift out selections, from any file type that QT could handle, and create a new file from that; I arrived at that solution to accomplish precisely what you're concerned with, after having tried out the various OS9/OSX freeware/shareware audio editors that wwere around at the time - if Fission had been available then in the same price range, think I'd have bought that. And I've got a couple of Windoze Freeware equivalents to Fission on my XP machines.
But actually with reference to your context, I've been using Audio Hijack Pro to record about 12 hours of 128kbs DAB broadcasts per week for the last 3 years, and being ex IT I use a 4th gen database programming app called Omnis to manipulate my MP3 recordings via Applescript/Quicktime. Never got round to actually editing out content, which was what I'd intended (getting a bit long in the tooth for detailed programming, couldn't be bothered to gen up on the MP3 tagging), so I just maintain a database of my own 'bookmarks' for my MP3 files (now up to about 150GB of 1/2/3 hour segments !).

Editing very large MP3 Files

Hello,
Sorry for my bad English! I am French!
I recently bought a Sony digital recorder (ICD-PX312) that records MP3 files.
I recorded my noisy neighbour, in continuous mode for three days. (I was not at home)
PX312 recorder has produced several files which maximum size is 511,845 kB corresponding to a lenght of 24H 15min.
Every file, checked with Mediainfo, have the same properties. (48kbps 44.1KHz)
I can read them with VLC media player without any problem, but I need to edit these files to keep only the interesting parts.
If I open (drag and drop or open file) these files with Audition 1.0 (I came from Cool-Edit), I found a very strange behavior.
The 24H 15min files are opened with a lenght of 1H and a half or so!.
I gave a try opening with Audition 3.0 and the result is strange too, and more "funny":
The lenght of one 24H15min file is 1H and a half
The lenght of another 24H 15min file is 21H or so.
In the Audition TMP directory, Audition has created several 4 GB temporay files that correspond to the limit of the WAV files.
I made a test with a 128kpbs, 44.1khz. This 511,845 kB file is 9H 5min long
Audition read it as 4H40min
The TMP file is 2,897,600 kB, far below the 4 GB limit
It seems Audition 1 and 3 (I read CS5 has the same problem too) does not share the WAV conversion very well.
Is it due to Audition itself or to the Fraunhofer MP3 codec?
Is there any workaround from Adobe?
As I am an AVS4YOU client, I tried AVS Audio Editor. It opens every file with the good lenght but does not have the needed editing functions. That demonstrates that it is possible to share very large files.
Many thanks in advance for any help or idea, because Audition is the editor I need!
Best Regards

t's not their 'bug' at all. MP3 files work fine, and Adobe didn't invent the wav file format, Microsoft did. It's caused by the 32-bit unsigned integer to record the file size headerincorporated into wav files, which limits their size to one that can be described within that limit - 4Gb.
May be I was not clear enough in my explanation
I Agree partly with you.
I Agree with you when you wrote that the 4 GB limit is inherant to the Microsoft WAV format.
When reading 24H MP3 Files, Audition 3.0 creates, in TMP folder, two chunk of 4 GB and another smaller chunk, to try to overcome the limit. This cutting process is exactly what I am expecting from such a software.
The problem - and the bug - is that the duration that is "extracted" in audition is smaller than that of the original MP3 (e.g. 21H 30min instead of 24H 15min). Some part of the original MP3 files has been skipped in the cuttng/conversion process.
I dont think Microsoft is involved in this "cutting" process that belongs to Adobe an/or Fraunhofer. This is why I am surprised

How can I edit a mp3 file and drop it in an iMovie project?

I wish to edit an mp3 music file so that I can drop a piece of it into an iMovie project. iMovie's audio tools are very rudimentary---one can reposition a music file, shorten it, etc but cannot pick a piece of it to complement a movie segment.
So I dropped the mp3 file into GarageBand. I deleted the first section of the song, then selected the 16 second piece I wanted to include in my iMovie, using the copy command. Then I pasted the piece into a new GarageBand project screen. The piece wouldn't play, and when I selected "export" the piece neatly went to where I wanted it, but again with no sound.
So simply: how do I edit an mp3 file (cutting a piece of it) and then save it so I can apply it to an iMovie? Help!

it should have played, but you can do it easier by exporting just the section you want:

HT1819 [Podcast] mix all the imported mp3 files into one Album

Dear Sir,
I need your help of the app [Podcast].
Let me explain my problem.
I enjoying listening to Audiobooks very much.
Everytime I use the iTunes to import some mp3 stories into my iPhone, then change their properties from MUSIC to AUDIOBOOKS. Because I like the convenience of the very two buttons ( 15 seconds of fast backward jumping, and 15 seconds of forward jumping).
But I cannot easily delete those mp3 files that I've just heard. The only way is to erase the whole album in SETTINGS. (I have a bad memory, always forgot which one that I have heard)
Then, I found the app [Podcast], it has all the functions that I need:
one, 15 seconds of fast backward & farward jumping;
two, very convenient (sleeping) timer function;
three, I can easily delete each mp3 file that I've just heard so I know where CAN I continue.
So, I love the app [Podcast], from then on, through the iTunes, I change the properties of my mp3 stories from MUSIC to PODCASTS. It's very easy to operate.
But, then I found something strange: the app [Podcast] mixes every mp3 files together,into one ALBUM, in spite of the ALBUM informations that I defined in EACH mp3 tags.
The app [Music] can classify each ALBUM of those imported AUDIOBOOKS, why can't [Podcast]?
Could you please show me what to do?
Thank you very much.
Yours,
ZJH

This is EXACTLY my problem....and I am disheartened that there is NO reply with fix for this. I need to find another app to use. I like to use the podcast app for audio files so I can listen to them in 1.5x or 2x speed. Frustrated....

How do I extract album art from an existing MP3 file?

I have a folder of MP3s that all came from a rare out-of-print album. The album is so rare, I can't find an image of it anywhere on Google in any countries. I lost the cover artwork for the album, but it's embedded in the MP3 file because it pops up when I play the song or in the preview window. Fine good-resolution picture, too.
How do I extract the image so I have a separate image file again?
...hopefully without buying new software to do it?
I've got iTunes v.10

I've got iTunes v.10
PowerBook G4 running 10.4.10
You might want to update your information since 10.4 can't run iTunes 10.

HT1351 I've encoded a vinyl LP record into digital format and recorded it onto an usb as MP3 file. But when I tried to copy it onto my ipod classic, I get a message stating "was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod". Why?

I've encoded a vinyl LP record into digital format and recorded it onto an usb as MP3 file. But when I tried to copy it onto my ipod classic, I get a message stating "was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod". Why?

I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.
