Ripping tracks from CD

When I load a CD in to my PC iTunes automatically starts to rip the tracks but only rips 1 - 2 seconds of each track.
Is there something I can do?

hi Brian!
My drive reports the track lengths, but then reports "error code 1117 1117 1117...".
good gracious ... did the other suggestions on that page pan out? if not, head here to check for other documentation and to submit CD diagnostics to Apple:

(hardly a short term fix, i'm afraid.)

Ripping tracks from a CD do not show up on my NAS drive

I have an IOMEGA IX200 1TB NAS for backup and an IOMEGA 1TB Media Player that I have transferred my Itunes library to for storage and playing music. I have checked the setting to move all imported songs to the Itunes library located on my IOMEGA Media player that is attached to my home network. Purchased songs from Itunes store will be inserted into the NAS Media drive, but I rip songs from a CD, they will not be placed there, I can't find them anyplace. My IOMEGA IX200 NAS drive that i use for backups is lasted as 'shared' on my Itunes window, but
my IOMEGA Media NAS drive is not. Should the Media player be listed as shared?
Why do Itunes bought songs get placed in the proper place but not CD ripped songs? Has anyone else had success transferring all the Itunes music to an external storage drive on their home network?

Can you see the CD ripped songs in iTunes itself? Can you then right-click and select "Show in Windows Explorer"?

CTplay2 has performed an illegal operation when trying to rip a track from a cd into Playcent

I have had Creative Playcenter for about three years with no problems until a week ago.
I was surfing the Internet and while on one webpage, I had the Playcenter
playing a playlist, the computer locked up after I tried to close a pop up ad. After rebooting, the Playcenter lost the list of tracks, it had the albums and artist lists, yet the track list showed "0". I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and reloaded
the tracks from the Nomad and now I am unable to rip tracks from cd's. I am able to convert existing wave files ripped from other cd ripping software yet cannot use the Creative Playcenter rip and convert feature without encountering this illegal operation message then it shuts it down. It's able to create the file where the mp3's are stored, but unable to tranfer the MP3 to it. No other changes have been made to my computer either. I just hope that I do not have to do a dreaded format and reinstall to fix this.
I really like this Creative product since I have had it have not had any problems with either the Nomad Jukebox or the software until the Internet surfing incident about a week ago
Creative Nomad Jukebox 2LX 20GB
Computer: AMD 500mhz
OS: Windows 98SE
Anti virus: Norton
Soundcard Creative
This error occurs when I try to rip a cd track into the Play Center. I have tried to repair from the disc with the anti virus disabled and while reinstalling another error message appears "scandir has caused an illegal operation" during the reinstall.

The original version that came with the installation disc "3.02.58". I have not updated it since I installed the first time because I had not had any problems with it until recently.
Also I forgot to mention in my first post, I have added some extra system sounds to my computer and that may have contributed to the problem of it freezing up at the time I clicked on the pop up ad in order to close it out. Some of the sounds activate during "restore up" and "minimize", the sounds or other Windows sounds do not activate while Playcenter is in use.

Ripping lengthy tracks from CDs - skipping?

I'm still using iTunes 8.2, but anyway, I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem. When ripping tracks from a CD that are nearly 30 minutes long or sometimes 74 minutes long (Steve Roach fan, heh), sometimes the tracks play back with that weird digital squelching, or skipping sound.
Could just be that my CD is dirty because I've had similar issues on normal-length tracks with very dirty CDs.
But just curious...?
My workaround is tedious, but I'll import 20+ minutes at a time AIFF format, then reassemble in GarageBand, then export as AAC. Things work fine then.

If you haven't already, turn on error correction in your Import Settings. It slows the rip process down, but can compensate (to a degree) for dirty or scratched CDs.

Ripping tracks DIRECTLY to Zen Mi

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#cc00ff>Hi! I am new to the whole MP3 player thing, but I just got a Zen Micro (purple) and am trying to rip tracks from a CD to the player. I am using MediaSource to do this. I don't want a copy on my computer and I want it to go directly to the Zen. What am I doing wrong? Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

In Tools/Settings/ Audio CD/Rip make sure the Audio CD Ripping checkbox is unchecked.
CD in dri've. In LH window go to My Computer and highlight the dri've. When the tracks are showing go to Toolbar and click Get Info to get CD titles and track info (hopefully) or manually name.
Connect ZM and select it in the RH window.
Highlight the first track and while holding Shift click on last track to highlight all tracks.
Click on blue right facing arrow on bar next to RH window. Tracks will be ripped and copied to ZM directly. A window will open to show progress.
Hope this helps

i would like to be able to insure that when i import a CD into i-Tunes that all tracks from that CD go into a single file for that album in their proper order regardless of whether or not there is a featured artist on one or two tracks or whatever. i recentl;y imported an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one song featured a guest artist i-Tunes placed that song in a seperate folder and so when i synced my daughters i-Pod Touch that one track is not with the rest of the tracks form the album and has to be listened to seperately. The song is from the same album and should be where it belongs with the rest of that album so she can listen to the entire album with the tracks in the proper order. I am sure that this can be done i just don't know how.

Edit the Name of the problem song to Name [Feat. Guest]
Change the Artist of that song to All Time Low

What you want cannot be done. iTunes has its quirks, and the above is the kind of workaround needed to make the media display sensibly on any device. The article I pointed you to has others that you may find useful in future.

Why doesn't itunes have 320 kbps listed for ripping audio tracks from CD as one of the default options?

Now I know you can ignore the defaults and create custom settings for ripping audio from CD's, but I'm curious why the good folks at apple didn't add 320kbps as a default. I figured it would be a default option since 320 kbps seems to be the standard for good quality when it comes to CD rips.
Am I wrong here? Anyone have any ideas?

Apple hasn't stated why it's not a default option.

Can't import tracks from an older version of iTunes

Since my rMBP has no optical drive I've found a practical use for my old G3 iMac which is for ripping CDs.
The G3 of course is only running iTunes 7.6 (the newest version available for G3 Macs) whereas my MBP is running the latest version.
I've shared the iTunes Library on the G3 and can access it on my MBP, and can even play tracks, but there is no Import button at the bottom of the window so I can't import the ripped tracks into my MBP iTunes. This works fine if I use my wife's MBP (my old one) which is also running the latest version of iTunes.
Have I missed a setting on the G3, or is this a limitation due to the big difference in iTunes versions?
I'm ripping to Apple Lossless if that matters.

How did you share this library? If you're talking about what iTunes has, there is a difference between Home Sharing which is a feature of newer iTunes and enable copying fo files, and plain music sharing which older iTunes had but only allowed music to be played.
Ah, thanks, that will be it.
Guess that means I can't use my G3 for doing this. Oh well, not to worry.
Limnos wrote:
You say, "This works fine," but "this" is vague. Do you mean Home Sharing from your wife's Mac to yours? If so, then yes it will work because they are both capable of Home Sharing.
Yes, "this" meant importing tracks from the Library on my wife's MBP

Can I get iTunes to file ripped tracks in the exact order they were on the CD?

300 years ago, Bach wrote the Well Tempered Clavier "songs" to be played in a certain order. The geniuses at Apple offer lots of options for arranging the ripped tracks in every order except "List tracks in the order they were on the CD". Anyone have any ideas why Apple INSISTS upon destroying this carefully created order? iTunes CD imports are ripped in sequential order, why can't iTunes simply put them in the library in the order they are ripped? To omit this simple and obvious ordering is INCREDIBLY STUPID!! If the option to put CD tracks into the iTunes Library in the order they are ripped exists, but has been hidden by some genius, does anyone know how to find it? Why are programmers so obsessed with giving us "features" that they completely overlook the simple option of "Do not reorder the tracks at all", just store them in the library?
If iTunes is so stupidly designed that it is impossible to leave the order of tracks in the order they were on the CD ripped, is there any way I can reorder the tracks manually so that I can restore the tracks to the order Bach intended? The 3 ripped CDs are (no option) stored in individual folders. Is there a way to put all tracks in a single folder? Does Apple have any "suggestion box", or "bug reporting" input access? I wonder if they are following the modern trend (like Google), who allow no user feedback since they KNOW that THEIR geniuses produce only products that are already PERFECT when released. What colossal arrogance!

"The geniuses at Apple offer lots of options for arranging the ripped tracks in every order except "List tracks in the order they were on the CD". Anyone have any ideas why Apple INSISTS upon destroying this carefully created order?"
They don't. By default iTunes will import tracks and allow them to be viewed as albums in the "correct" order, assuming that the metadata elements used to control grouping into albums are correctly set.
"iTunes CD imports are ripped in sequential order, why can't iTunes simply put them in the library in the order they are ripped?"
Because "the order in which they are ripped" is not a well-defined concept. iTunes groups tracks into albums and orders discs/tracks within albums based on well-defined metadata elements. The issue that you may seeing is that much of the information that iTunes pulls from Gracenote to supply metadata for imported CDs is inconsistent or just plain wrong. Once the metadata is correctly specified, tracks will always be ordered correctly in the iTunes library (assuming sorting by album, disc # and track #).

Ripping audio from a DVD - Any ideas for Macs

Hi
I found a nice and simple piece of software from www.imtoo.com which can rip the audio out of a DVD and save it as an audio file for import to iPod. For a whole bunhc of reasons I'd rather have just the audio from films and comedy shows than the whole video.
Oddly this was listed in MacWorld, but they don't do an Apple Mac version. I am after a one stop solution if anyone knows of one - guess there must be as the IMTOO product works so elegantly, am sure someone has done this for the Mac.
Cheers
Sammy

I am not aware of any tool for the Mac that can rip audio from a DVD-A (audio only) disk.
I am also not aware of any 1 step tool for ripping the audio from ordinary DVD video disks.
The approach I took when I did this involved using MacTheRipper to copy to a hard disk, another tool to extract the audio, and then if I remember correctly, I used QuickTime to save the tracks as individual files (with the correct track lengths are listed on the cover). I was then able to burn the results files to a CD (audio format), and incredibly the resulting CD was recognised by iTunes (and Gracenote CDDB) with the correct tracks names etc. (The DVD was of a concert.)
This as you can tell was not a simple one step operation, it took most of an afternoon trying various tools.

Transferring CD tracks from computer to ZE

While transferring cd tracks from my computer to my ZEN V player, I changed my mind and cancelled the RIPPING CD TRACKS.
I also disconnected my player from the computer and now have the docked image on my screen and cannot remove it.
Can anyone help me?

Yes, I gave many of the CDs away - if I don't like most of the songs on the CD, I put the ones I like in iTunes and don't take up storage space keeping the entire CD. I assumed since I bought them and put them in iTunes, that it would let me put them on my new iPod, or burn a CD or whatever. Maybe I'm not doing the sync correctly. I plug my new iPod in, and when I try to select the songs and drag them to my new iPod, it tells me it can't find the original. For future reference, will iTunes ALWAYS not let me copy songs that I don't have the original CD to?

Ripping audio from a .mov

hey anyone know how to rip the audio from a quicktime move file (.mov)?? cheers.

QuickTime Pro allows you to "Extract" (Movie Properties window) a track from any saved file.
You will not be able to extract an audio track from any "Muxed" formats (MPEG 1 or 2 or .swf formats).
This requires either a "real time" recording (Snapz Pro or Wiretap) and other software.
You can also use iTunes software (Mac or PC) to "convert" any saved file to a compression scheme of your liking. It will still be the "lower end" of the audio spectrum because of the compression applied to the source file.
No way to get AAC to convert better than the source formats used.

Hi,
The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

Problems with ripping files from my cds to Zen Touch via Mediasource pla

This is a problem I have had recently. I run Windows XP and have a Zen Touch which is a really decent player. However, just recently I have been unable to rip any CD tracks from my ample collection and put them on the Zen touch. I always get a little dialogue box which says CDrom doesn't support file ripping. Try the Recording function. It has done this even on CDs whose tracks I ACTUALLY put on the Zen touch already without any problem. Why is it doing this now?
I have tried re-installing the Zen touch cd a number of times but to no avail.
Thanks

Thanks for that. I have been going around in frustration with this thing for a few nights. Even my husband is at a loss with it and he knows more about this stuff than I do.
I have effected a temporary solution to the problem which is to rip cd tracks using Nero Startsmart which converts them to MP3 no problem. I have also tried using the Media Player as well. Now all I have to do is download from the MP3 folder the tracks I have already ripped and load them onto the Zen.
What I don't understand about all of this is that the MediaSource Software was working okay until this month.

Importing tracks from non-I Tune libraries into I Tunes

I am a recent convert to the world of Ipod, having previously used other mp3 players like Zen Creative and an old Panasonic that operated off Real Player & Real Jukebox software. I would now like to import my old music collection into I-Tunes, but am having major difficulties:
Firstly, whereas Creative Media Organiser allowed me to import tracks from my Shared folder (C:\Program Files\My Shared Folder)in Mp3 or AAC or WMA, I-Tunes will not let me do this. When I open up the Shared folder in I-Tunes it doesn't provide any music file formats in the file format tab - only has .txt and xml which don't bring up the music files that are in there.
Secondly, I-Tunes won't let me 'drag & drop' tracks from my Creative Media library directly into I-tunes.
Thirdly, it doesn't interact with the Real Jukebox software, so I can't access the files stored in there either.
Help! Any Suggestions?

Hi Tracy,
Some of what you have been told is fine, but there is still some confusion going on.
First, when you try to open a file with iTunes, the reason you only see .txt and xml is because the open command is not the one to import music. It's for opening playlists (.txt and xml). To bring in music you want to use the Add to Library command. An easier way is to find the files on your computer, drag them to the iTunes library window,and drop them there. This will import all formats that iTunes can play.
For those files that are in some strange format that iTunes won't play (such as ATRAC or protected WMA) then the other poster is correct, you'll have to burn and Audio CD and re-rip it, but all the other formats will do the drag and drop thing just fine.
