Recording mp3 files

How do I record MP3 files using ITunes? It wants to record as audio files which will take more than disk. Is there some other easy program which will be less cumbersome than ITunes. Must be freeware. Welcome suggestions. Thanks

The link does not work. Here is the detail:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Burning button at the top of the window.
Choose MP3 CD as the Disc Format, then click OK.
Select the playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the CD, and make sure all the songs you want to include on the CD have a checkmark beside them.
You can only burn a CD from the songs in a playlist, and only checked songs are included. For instructions on creating a playlist, click "Tell me more."
If the playlist contains more songs than will fit on one CD, iTunes will burn as many songs as fit on the CD. You may want to move some of the songs to a new playlist, and then burn each playlist to a separate CD. (You can see the size of the selected playlist at the bottom of the iTunes window.)
Click the Burn Disc button in the upper-right corner of the iTunes window.
Insert a blank CD-R disc and click Burn Disc again.
If you plan to only play the CD using your computer, you can also use a CD-RW disc. To play it on a stereo, use a CD-R disc.
If your playlist includes songs in formats other than MP3, they will not be burned on the CD.

How do I upload my mp3 files to the iTunes store?

I've been recording mp3 files and copying them to my iMac, and I would like to know how to sell them on iTunes.

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

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 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.

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!

GARAGEBAND WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE MP3 FILES FROM MY EDIROL RECORDER? HELP!!

I have recently recorded some MP3 files on my Edirol R-09 recorder, and when I try to import them int garageband, it acts like it is loading them, but they do not appear, even if I try to put them in from iTunes, where I can play them and hear them, no problem. I can drag in any music MP3's into Garageband and they load, but not the audio recordings I am making, I am stumped, I would appreciate any help I can get. I had no problem with this same process on my old laptop? e-mail - [email protected]

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.

Unable to load mp3 files recorded using Logic Express into iMovie 8

I'm having issues getting mp3 files created with Logic Express to load into iMovie...
Now when you export audio files from Logic it's usually an AIFF file...so when I play the file in iTunes...I choose the option to "create mp3 version"
Now when iTunes does this, it creates an MPEG version which I assume won't load into iMovie...mp3s only, so I drag it to my desktop and then it's given an mp3 tag but it still won't load in iMovie 8
Any insight on this issue would be appreciated...

iMovie can handle MP3, AAC, AIFF.

How do I change the value of the Order By field in an MP3 file?

good day Guys,
I'm new here in the forum and I have a question that is "breaking" the order of my songs and my head too ...
How do I change the value of the Order By field in an MP3 file?
for example, in the photo below, the song "The Bad Touch" is coming BEFORE the song "A Little Respect", this happens because of the Name field to Order ...
My "problem" is in the photo below, the "tab" Order, iTunes will not let me erase what is written in the "Sort As" ...
I've been "collecting" several songs over SEVERAL years
I'm currently with more than 1,500 songs on HD and several backups on DVDs and external hard drives and I think, download it again, will be a "little" laborious and boring
I DON'T WANT to be filling the tags of songs (name, singer, CD, year, etc.)
I have used the program Mp3tag to remove the music tags
I've tried to download the song again and go through Mp3tag program as if it were a new song
I've changed the music access permissions, folder and even entire hard drive (my Windows has only one user)
I've tried to catch the song again, from a previous backup
I've tried to create a copy of the file at iTunes own
I've tried to create a new music file in a music recording program
NOTHING of what I did above resolved
-> I'm using Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate
-> I'm using iTunes 12.1.1.4 for 64-bit Windows
-> My iPad is the third generation (a little old, I know) with Wi-Fi and 3G, but it has served me VERY WELL
-> The iPad is updated with iOS 8.1.3 and is not unlocked
I'm sorry for the GIANT post, but well, I think I could explain as much as possible and for my English, too bad, by the way, I'm from Brazil and I'm using Google translator
Hugs and await answers,
Paulo Ricardo

hello turingtest2,
my language is Brazilian Portuguese (there are some little differences between Brazilian Portuguese and the Portuguese of Portugal, but nothing that interferes with the script)
at this time, I'm managing songs manually, I don't know if this will interfere with the execution of a script or command
as I picked up this iPad recently, I still don't understand how to set up the iTunes Music Library and the person who gave me, told me it was easier to put the songs manually
as you said, in my iTunes, 95% of the songs are with ALL the blank fields, including the Name to Sort field, only songs that begin with a/an/the standing with the Name to Sort field filled with name of the song, without the a/the
I do not know what to do...
I want to learn to ride the iTunes Music Library, that my work is less
you know any site that teaches create/manage my iTunes Music Library?
this site/forum may be in English, no problem
thanks for all your help and the help of others who responded to my request

My CD player/recorder is no longer recording MP3's

my CD player/recorder is no longer recording MP3's. I get no warning messages, just when I place the CD into the drive and open Windows Media Player, it's reporting that it cannot record some or all of the CD. I select one of the available tracks at a time and attempt to record, but get the error message with every track.

Hi,
Please clarify: Do you want to RECORD or do you want to RIP the CD ? WMP can RIP musics CD's (not fully protected) to MP3 files, but RECORD from a CD ? Sorry, I don't know.
Regards.

How can I create an iPhone3g ringtone from a recorded MP3

I've recorded my daughters voice as an mp3 file (about 10 seconds long) and want to use it as a ringtone on my iPhone3G but cannot figure out how I do this. I'm using iTunes8 and all the instructions I've found on creating ringtones will not work as menu options simply aren't there and no amount of messing around with the file will allow me to drop it into the ringtones folder on my library. This is infuriating as is the apple support site 8-(

The easiest way I found was by using http://audiko.net/en.html. You just upload any MP3, trim it by dragging the handles to what you want and then download it to your PC. Then, you can just drag it to the Ringtones section in iTunes.

Itunes 'eating' my MP3 files?

After upgrading to iTunes 7.0 which scanned all my MP3s for Gapless Playback, 90% of my collection has been virtually rendered useless.
The tracks all do the same thing; the first 1 to 2 seconds of the track repeat themselves 2 or 3 times before playing the actual song. Words cannot describe how annoying this is; when I've just got it on shuffle and trying to skip tracks to find a song I like, it makes my ears hurt like a broken record. I have looked around forums and Google but haven't seen anbody else with this problem and the extreme degree to which it has permenantly damaged my 30 gig collection of music that I've been collecting and archiving for over 10 years.
I have tried playing the damaged MP3s in every other piece of MP3-playing software on my PC--they all do the same thing. The ACTUAL MP3 files on my hard drive and iPod are damaged, not just iTunes.
Is there any possible way to salvage my MP3 collection without spending weeks to re-rip and re-download all of my MP3s?
I am seriously never going past 6.0 iTunes again. Upgrading to 7.0 was the worst computer-related decision of my life.

Compensated!?! HaHa! For losing files that you no longer legally have the right to possess after selling the originals? LOL. Sorry 62lotus, but I have no pity for you.
jpeter1093, I feel your pain and am sorry this has happened to you. It also took actually losing several gigs of songs and photos for me to learn the importance of making regular backups of any data that is important to me.
Good luck!

Why do I sometimes get an error message when trying to export as mp3 file?

I'm using a Intel Core Duo Imac 2 Ghz with 2 meg memory and just upgraded to iLife 08. I was excited to see that Garageband will now let you save/export your projects as MP3 files. But I sometimes get an error message, i.e., -46 or some such number, when I try to save/export the project to iWeb. What is causing this? If I save the same project as an AAC file everything is fine. Go figure. I was really looking forward to Apple doing this in this release and won't be happy until it works perfectly. For your information I record a audio podcast and export the recorded file to iWeb and publish the site to .mac. So I'm a loyal Apple customer. My site is a gay oriented website and the new features of iWeb , including Photo albums can be viewed there. I'll email the link to anyone interested.

I know man what your saying. I should have written it down when it happened last night. I figured if anyone had had the same issue they might know the reason. I'll try doing a test recording today and see if the same issue arises. Meanwhile, if anyone has this happen to them please let me know. Thanks

Suddenly unable to upload mp3 files using iTunes Match

I've got a USB turntable and have enjoyed digitizing a lot of LPs and copying them into iTunes. I digitized a 10-track album just yesterday, and can copy the resulting mp3 files into iTunes, where they play fine, but they won't upload to iCloud using iTunes Match. It gets to the point where it's supposed to upload tracks it cannot match and just sits there. I use Audacity to digitize from the USB turntable, and it exports as MP3 file. This has worked over many albums but now seems to be stuck. Any thoughts on what the problem might be?

So my issue appears to be with uploading mp3 files that probably won't match anything in iCloud.
iTunes match matches Audio files by comparing the audio and not by comparing the tags for the album. My iTunes Library contains more than 500 songs that have been ripped and matched from vinyl records or audio tapes.
The songs will not match, if there is not the exact same recording in the store, but if the audo quality is good and the tempo of the player was exact, the song will be matched.

Can I convert each playlist into one single mp3 file

I have had great success creating and burning a playlist to a CD however I'd really prefer to save an ENTIRE playlist of about 20 songs as a SINGLE MP3 file. I can then I burn each file (composed of songs in a playlist) to a CD and have a nice set of organized music set/PLAYLISTS to listen to. I stated my question in this manner because I've seen many similar questions but they are not what I am asking. I am using WIndows 7
What I have tried:
1.) ...selecting the group of songs within the playlist and exporting as an MU3. My results: It created an MU3 file that played for less than 1 second when played in anything other than itunes. In itunes it opened as the same playist I began with
2.) ...consolidating the files (the goal was to consolidate into one MP3 file) but once I selected the consolidate option I could not find that file under itunes Media which is the location where itunes says it would be stored.
3.) ..converting to MP3 Result: It just converted each individual file to MP3 format and NOT the entire list as a SINGLE MP3 file.
Does anyone know if there is a way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance

Sorry to disappoint you, Chris... but I don't "take their product". Someone WHO WORKS FOR THEM "gives it to me". There's a MAJOR DIFFERENCE between someone handing you something that's theirs to hand you... and stealing it.
In 2006 I saw Sara Evans "perform" in Tucson. She flew on her congressional (then) husband's private plane from Portland to Orange County, refueled and flew to Tucson, where she got into a limo, and rode to the show. She got out of the limo, went straight backstage, I saw someone hand her a Dr. Pepper, which she opened, took a sip out of, and then went out on the stage as the headline act for the evening. She sang six (6) songs in twenty-three (23) minutes, walked offstage, did no encore, and got back in the limo, which whisked her back to the waiting jet to fly home.
The station manager of the radio station that sponsored the concert, later told me that she was paid $125,000 for that twenty-three minutes. Even he felt like the station didn't get their money's worth. The promoter paid for the jet fuel and her pilots' salaries.
In 2009, I went out to Phil Vassar's "motor coach" after a show, which is basically a house on wheels. He showed two friends and I the "studio" in the middle of this converted bus, where he can record new tracks and send them straight to the record company via satelite, for their final editing. The front has a full kitchen & living room and a 50" flat screen TV with a massive audio system. HE owns the whole thing, and when he doesn't feel like riding, he has a private plane of his own that will pick him up wherever they can land and fly him to the next show. His promo guy gave each of us a copy of every CD he's ever released before we left.
I have no problem with people making money for their work. But I've seen just how much is given away in the music industry, and I'm not going to refuse things offered to me because someone with a private jet and limo, getting $6000 a minute, or with a half million dollar "rolling house" isn't getting paid for the things their own people are handing out in bulk.
