Rip CD to Itunes

For some reason, when I rip a CD to Itunes to put it on my Ipod, it is scrambling the song order. It seems to be random, and I have not messed with the Party Shuffle. I would like to know how to reset this function.

    Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod
    I am having a problem transfering ripped DVD's from the Itunes Video folder to the actual Ipod. I thought one of the cool points of the Video Ipod was that you could play DVD's on it. I know I needed to use special software to achieve this since I researched it here. I am using Handbrake Lite since regular Handbrake look too daunting for me. I also used Isquint, since it was recommened here. I used both without changing anything on both of those progams other than click the go button. The DVD's will play in Itunes but it won't allow me to drag them to the Ipod. They are in the Video folder in Itunes. What in the wild, wild world of sports am I do'in wrong? I assume it's something stupid because the device is stellar. Hope someone out there can lend us a hand.
    Kind Regards,

  • How to rip CDs into iTunes from several machines, simultaneously

    I have about 300 CDs that I'm re-ripping into my library for two reasons (1) I had a hard drive failure that corrupted / lost some of the files and (2) I'm shifting from MP3 to Apple Lossless format.
    Setup: MacMini is linked to entertainment center for iTunes playback but I ahve 2 other Macbooks on network. iTunes library is on an external hardrive connected to mini via firewire --accessible to macbooks via network.
    Issue 1: Can I load the iTunes library from the external hard drive on each of the three machines, then have each of the three re-rip CDs simultaneously to overwrite the old files? After the CDs have been re-ripped, I'd just tell iTunes on the MacMini rebuild the library so that it knew the actual file types for the CDs imported by the macbooks.
    Issue 2: I want to overwrite existing songs (1) to avoid duplicate files and (2) I've misplaced / stored a couple hundred other CD's, so I can't just erase the old library, rip from three machines, then import into the mini b/c that would be a large loss of CDs.
    My plan would as follows, but I'm not certain if it will work or if it's the best way:
    1. Erase the iTunes library (not the files) on all three machines for a clean start.
    2. On Each machine, Preferences -> Advanced -> General: Set the iTunes music folder to the external drive where the current music files are located. Also set each computer to "Keep Music Folder Organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder..."
    3. on Each machine, select File -> Add to Libary: to add all of the current music files.
    4. Start simultaneously shoving my CDs into the three machines and re-importing using lossless / telling it to overwrite existing files when prompted.
    5. When done re-importing the CDs, erase the macbook libraries (I don't listen to music on them), tell the mac mini to erase it's library, then re-add all the newly ripped files and the preexisting/not-overwritten files to the library to rebuild it, so that the mini becomes aware of the files that were added / rewritten by the other two machines.
    While none of the three machines would be ripping the same CD or trying to overwrite the same music files at the same time, my concern is that all three machines would run into problems if trying to update / write to the same iTunes non-music file, for example the iTunes Libarary Database file of the iTunes Library.xml file on the external drive.
    Comments? Suggestions? Experiences?

    Well, yeah, this wold work, in 1/3 the time. If you have changed ANYTHING about a song title, album title or artist, iTunes will not see it as a duplicate.

    So, some of the MP3's won't be AAC's in the end?
    My plan would as follows, but I'm not certain if it will work or if it's the best way:
    1. Erase the iTunes library (not the files) on all three machines for a clean start.
    Right Click/Duplicate first, just in case. OR (better method) hold the Option key while opening iTunes and choose create new library.
    2. On Each machine, Preferences -> Advanced -> General: Set the iTunes music folder to the external drive where the current music files are located. Also set each computer to "Keep Music Folder Organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder..."
    3. on Each machine, select File -> Add to Libary: to add all of the current music files.

    On the three machines, hold the Option Key while opening iTunes and choose the original library, then delete the new library file you created for this adventure. Then do the same to create a new library on the MacMini. If you have created playlists, first export each playlist as a .xml file and import it when finished.
    While none of the three machines would be ripping the same CD or trying to overwrite the same music files at the same time, my concern is that all three machines would run into problems if trying to update / write to the same iTunes non-music file, for example the iTunes Libarary Database file of the iTunes Library.xml file on the external drive.
    They will each be creating their own unique library database, missing what the other two machines are adding to the iTunes Music Folder. They will not be re-writing the .xml file on the external hard drive. Each computer will have it's own .xml file on it's hard drive.

  • Adding Ripped CDs via iTunes 10.5 on iPhone 4 iOS5 not working

    Why can I no longer add my music from my ripped CD's to my iPhone's iPod player since upgrading to iTunes 10.5 and iOS5??  Is this a bug or is Apple now not going to allow people to add ripped music from CDs or downloads from the internet outside of iTunes unless you subscribe to their iCloud & Match service and their CD music into iTunes ver??
    Anyone have any insight on this??
    1st to clarify, I have never synced automatically my music to my iPhone.  I always manually manage my music & thus the "manually manage music & videos" section on iTunes is always enabled.
    Adding purchased iTunes music works fine, but when I add anything I've ripped from the 1,200 CD's I own or songs I've gotten from Amazon.com or other places, they show up in iTunes under the music section of my device and even on my device, but they're all greyed out and unplayable, with a little "sync" symbol to the left of the song info.  See pic below:

  • Ripped CD in iTunes Mac in "recently added" but NOT visible in "music" or searchable?

    Put the CD in.  Rip using normal pop up iTunes window.  Done -- CD ejects.  See new songs / album in "recently added".  Do NOT see it in "music"!  Can't search it by name of artist or anything.  The files are there on disk in my iTunes Music folder -- they got ripped.  Recently added sees the files.  Why not the rest of iTunes?
    Side note: I'm also running Sonos and iTunes Match.  BOTH of these see the new artist, album and songs and can play them (for Match on my iPad).  Just not the original iTunes doing the ripping in the first place?!
    Any ideas about what's going on?

    ...  my Music and Movies subcategories of the LIBRARY category are seemingly empty, while the files I am trying to add are showing up on the Recently Added Playlist. 
    OK, so the thing that appears to be missing is the library entries, not the files.
    As you know, iTunes is designed so that a track can only be in a playlist if it is also in the library.  So, you can be sure the songs are in the library. 
    However, you may have encountered the recent bug where the library does not completely display.  Try closing iTunes and restarting it.  If that does not help, restart your machine.  One guy reported that he had to do this a few times in order to solve the porblem:

  • How to rip DVD to iTunes for AppleTV?

    Hi all,
    I am new to the mac world and interested in how best to rip a DVD to iTunes for use in AppleTV?  Using 2010 Mac Mini.  Thanks!

    I use "Mac DVD Ripper Pro" to rip the DVD to my iMac (not free but works well), then use handbrake to convert to a iTunes friendly format (just use the AppleTv 2 preset).
    I do it this way so i can rip several, and then load all of them into the  handbrake queue and let it process them over night.
    Then i use iDentity to add the metadata to the file and add to iTunes.

  • How to rip VCD to itunes????

    Sorry i'm dumb in Apple, i have just try ripping a CD to itunes which was successful but the problem is i can't rip a VCD to itunes, is there any way to do it, thanks very much.
    ibook G4 12 1.33ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    First you need a program that can play back VCDs.
    Go to http://versiontracker.com and do a search.
    Second, you need Audio Hijack from Rogue Amoeba Software, which can take the digital output from the VCD player as the disk is playing back, and save it to your hard drive as MP3s.
    Then you can drag the MP3s to iTunes.

  • Ripped from CD, iTunes wants authorization!

    iTunes is giving me the "This computer is not authorized to play this song" message. The problem is, these are songs I ripped from my own CD. I dont have a single DRM track on my Mac, never have, never will. Tried repairing disk permissions, didnt fix it. Maybe I should delete my music library and import it from my backup drive?

    I would go ahead and authorize if it asks, you can always de-authorize later if it uses one of your authorizations up.

  • Music Distortion after ripping CDs onto iTunes

    This is really frustrating me now.
    Just recenlty I purchased a brand new CD and ripped it onto me iTunes but i sounds distorted and generally bad. I don't know why this is happening as its never happened before and i've tried everything all my drivers are updated and I've re-ripped it over and over. On Windows media player though it also sounds distorted and i've tried it on another PC with iTunes and it works fine. I ripped another CD which also sounded terrible and i just deleted it. After a while though it seems as thoughit just "got better" and now it sounds fine, but when i went to rip the CD i orginally deleted, it sounds distorted again. I have no idea in what i did in order to make it better and am desperate to find a solution to this issue

  • Deleting Items on Apple TV and Ripping Videos for iTunes

    I have two questions that if answered would take care of the only problems that I have had with my Apple TV and they are really not problems, just questions.
    First, Apple suggests that if you have a slower wireless system it is better to sync and move copies of items to the Apple TV rather than stream. No problem. I moved my audio library to my Apple TV and it works great. It also said when syncing that it would removal those items that will fill up the Apple TV disk in an order of preference. My music library took up about 1/4 the space on the disk. I do not want any of my music removed if and when the disk starts to fill. I will watch movies that I have ripped from disks or other sources through my Apple TV but as I view those, I will either selectively manage them or want to delete them from the Apple TV disk.
    My first question, is how do you selectively delete items from the Apple TV disk.
    My second question is that as I convert video from what ever format they are in into Apple TV compatible format (H264 or MPEG4, I can get them on my desktop or actually onto the drive that holds all of my ITunes music. But how do I get them into the iTunes movie folder so I can sync them to my Apple TV since they were not downloaded through iTunes?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    My first question, is how do you selectively delete items from the Apple TV disk.By deselecting them in the iTunes > Device > Category > Item listing. Like a DotMac account or the iPod, TV sychronizes files by "mirroring" your selections in the "host" iTunes application. When you modify your settings there, the changes will, with time, be reflected on the TV device drive.
    But how do I get them into the iTunes movie folder so I can sync them to my Apple TV since they were not downloaded through iTunes?Assuming you are using the default "automatic" management system for iTunes, you simply open iTunes and either use the "Add to Library" File menu option to navigate to the file you wish to add to iTunes or "drag 'n drop" the file to the opened iTunes Library list. By default, unmodified video conversions will be classified in the "Movies" category and you should find them in that category of the library once the file is either copied to the iTunes Library or the path is copied to the iTunes Library database. (I prefer keeping all my files physically in my iTunes Library which is located on a dedicated external hard drive and deleting the original files from all other locations.)

  • Ripping DVDs to iTunes 7

    I have just moved to Australia from the UK and bought a new mac mini (intel duel core) and can't watch any of my DVDs shipped from the UK as they are region 2. With iTunes 7 incorporating movies, is there a way of ripping them all to a format I can store, then import to iTunes 7?

    You could purchase an external DVD/CD burner and set it to region2 and watch your DVD's that way and have the internal drive set to your new home region.
    As noted you can use several different programs to change the region code to "All" or "none" and the new DVD will play on any player. If you have the time then that is another way.

    So I'm wondering if there is anyway to rip DVDs I own onto my MacBook?
