Segment audio file into chapters

I hope this will make sense - my best chance of getting the help I need is to describe what I'm trying to do:
I work with a high school marching band. I've recorded the band playing the music we'll be performing in our show. I plan to load the recording onto an iPod and play the music over speakers  while my students learn their marching drill to the song.  What I need to be able to do is  segment the recording into a bunch of attached "chapters," so I can either start the recording at the beginning and play straight through, OR  easily start at specific spots in the music (like a chapter in a book).
I'd appreciate any suggestions the community may have about how to accomplish what I envision.
TIA

  • Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please?

    Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please? I will be doing this on an imac 2008 model. thank you for help!

    Since this is the Logic forum and you may be working in Logic, you dont even need iTunes. To convert Aiff to MP3:
    1 - Go to the Bin>Audio Files
    2 - Select the Audio File you want to convert ( and not a region or edit of it)
    3 - Go to Audio File next to the Link icon ( Audio - Edit - View ) and down the menu to Copy/Convert.. gives lots of options

  • Assistance needed in trying to import MP3 audio file into Slide Show

    I get the following message when trying to import an MP3 audio file into a slideshow in Organizer 9 "The selected file can not be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor(codec) installed. I am pulling the file from my Itunes folder and I have not had problems with any other file I have downloaded from itunes and changed to an MP3 format.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I really want to use this song in a slideshow for my parents 50th Anniversary.

    Best GUESS is that DRM is getting in the way of the file being used outside of iTunes (DRM = Digital Rights Mgmt = Copy Protection)

  • HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

    Hi,
    How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
    With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
    Thanks!

    Hello ingiorgio
    You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.

  • Call external audio file into timeline

    I'm creating training programs that will be translated into
    many languages. I create the text in external XML files, and then I
    use dynamic text frames to call in the text. The translators need
    only translate the XML Files and Flash is automatically updated.
    I would like to find a way where I can keep the audio files
    external to Flash, and have Flash call them. This way, once the
    translators have re-narrated the files in each language, I won't
    have to open each Flash movie and manually import the audio files.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks!

  • Importing Quicktime Audio File into itunes

    I have a couple quicktime audio files that I'm trying to import into my itunes library. When I try to simply drag them into my itunes library it will not accept them.
    Also I tried using the import control from the itunes window, but when I choose the the quicktime file to import it also will not go into my library. These files where orginally windows media files inwhich I converted over using the "flip4mac" program to convert the windows media files to quicktime files, but neither file type will import into itunes.
    These files were simply voice recordings from a digital recorder, how do I get these audio files into my itunes library?? ... Thanks

    Ya, looks like the file is still a real WMA file and all that application did was give your QT the ability to play WMA files perhaps? I am not familiar with that one. You need to locate a WMA to MP3 file converter. Some that come to mind are MediaMonkey, EasyWMA, and there are many others. Those first two might both be shareware programs and I don't have any first hand experience with them. I really haven't had the need to do this type of conversion (yet) so haven't looked into the various applications. Perhaps someone reading this can chime in if they know any free ones that work.
    In the meantime, hit up versiontracker.com or download.com and do a search and see what you find. But the root cause of your problem is that the file is still in the wrong format for iTunes and iPod use.

    Here is the How to import in itunes 11. Including the Join tracks option.

    Also if you have imported them then  this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs
    http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp
    the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free

  • Moving audio files into Itunes Folder

    I have files in my Itunes folder. I also have music files in other folders scattered throughout my computer. All these songs are in my Itunes library.
    How can i move all the songs that aren't in my Itunes folder into my Itunes folder? When I consolidate the music tt only lets me copy. Is there a way to just move them without creating double copies?

    With the more recent version of iTunes, it automatically stores converted audio files into Artist\Album folder, and re-names the audio track to the the track number plus the title of the track.
    It's not the"more recent version of iTunes". It's all versions iof iTunes.
    Is there anyway to store the converted audio files in one folder, and keep the same name as the original file name?
    No.
    If you are RIPping from CD, iTunes will put them into the iTunes music folder by Artist/Album name.
    If you are adding songs to iTunes, it does not convert them unless they are WM and then it puts them into Artist/Album folders.
    If you want your own Folder/File names, RIP the CD using a different application and put the files into your own folders.
    Then iTunes prefs -> Advanced and uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library*.
    Then add the files to iTunes.

  • Breaking Up One Long Audio File Into Segments

    I have an audio file attached to a slide (I'm not allowed to attach it to an object).  It describes five different processes that are represented by an image on the stage.  The image looks like five different banners, but it is actually one image.  Each banner has an image of a speaker on it, and the idea is to have the learner click on the speaker to hear that part of the audio (which describes the process represented by that banner).
    I have inserted buttons and placed them on the timeline so that the pause symbol is just before each audio segment, but I don't get a pause.  What have I left out or done wrong?

    The problem is that if that audio is associated with the slide, the entire audio file must first play out before you can pause the playback. As far as I know, there is no simple way to stop audio playback in the middle of the slide without user interaction (clicking on a button or clickbox, which would invoke an Advanced Action that pauses playback).
    I would try to make six copies of the same slide. I'd remove audio from all but second slide. I would then set the audio markers so that each slide after that second one begins at the specific point in time from that audio (go 'Audio', then 'Edit...', then 'Project'. Arrow right to the first slide of this group; listen to the audio, then move slide markers to the beginning points of the audio for each slide (Ctrl+5)). This way, I have the single audio file spread across five slides.
    All that's left to do is to create click boxes over those speaker icons and point them to each respective slide. For each click box, I'd change "On Success" action to "Jump to Slide". For each slide, I'd change the "On Exit" action to jump to the slide following all these. That way, if a user clicks on any of the speaker icons, he will be taken to the slide corresponding to that banner, and the audio will play back from that particular part, will only play the relevant segment and will stop at the end of that segment. If they click on the 'Next' or 'Continue' (or whatever you label your navigation buttons), he'll to the next slide in the module.
    Obviously, if you can break up that audio into individual segments, you can associate each segment with its own slide. The rest of the process still applies.
    There may be a simpler solution, but this is what I could come up with, considering my limited experience with Captivate.

  • How to best import existing audio files into iTunes?

    Hello,
    In sum, my question is:  What is the difference between adding music to iTunes Library by the following methods:
    Placing the audio files in the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' Folder;
    Dragging the files from my hard drive to the Source Pane in iTunes; or
    Using the File > Add Folder to Library dialogue?
    Here are the particulars of my situation:
    I have over 3,000 music files, and I would like to know the best way to get them into iTunes. From a lynda.com training video about using iTunes, I learned that there is a folder called "Automatically Add to iTunes", which is monitored by iTunes for new files to import into the iTunes library. However, I would like to know if this is the *best* way to do this. For example, can I just *move* my 3,000 music files into this 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder and then let iTunes do its thing? 
    Will iTunes *move* the files that it is able to manage OUT of this folder and into one of its managed folders, such that there would be no duplicate file left behind? Is it correct in saying that the files that are left in this folder that were not able to be handled by iTunes and must be handled differently before they can be imported into iTunes? Or is there just an all around different, and better, way to get these music files into iTunes?
    Thanks for your advice and opinions!
    ~Antonio

    Hello tt2,
    I have given this a lot of thought and attention over the last few days.  As well, I appreciate very much your input and offers of help.
    The major 'problem' that I have is that the files are most definitely not consistently named.  For example, they include the likes of the following:
    07 - Song Name - Song Artist.mp3
    01 - Song Artist_Song Name.wma
    Song Name [Song Artist].aac
    And these are only examples, based on my trying to get across how variant the names are.  The actual file names are far more wildly various than even these, seemingly consistent file names.
    So, this is what I was thinking of doing, per your suggestion:
    An alternative aproach would be to use something like MediaMonkey (has advanced filename/path to tag tools) or MusicBrainz Picard (attempts to match audio fingerprints) to update the tags before the files get introduced to iTunes.
    Then...
    1. Move the files into the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder, then let iTunes have a go at getting them in to iTunes.
    2. Using either Tuneup or MusicBrainz Picard (Any comment on which is better?) to cleanup the file names (again) properly; and
    3. Then using your script to force iTunes to update itself, based on any new id3 data.
    Does this sound like madness?  Or is it a good solution for this application?  I am very grateful for your, or any other, input.
    Take good care,
    ~Antonio

  • Importing MPEG-4 audio files into itunes

    Hi,
    I am a new user of iTunes. I am unable to import MPEG-4 audio files from an audio CD into my iTunes library. This audio CD was created by a friend on his MAC.
    Interestingly, I am able to play the same MPEG-4 files through my Windows Media Player. I have the most recent and updated versions of Quicktime (7.4.5) and the most updated iTunes player for Windows (7.6.2.9). Coincidentally, the same audio CD has some MP3 files which I am able to import into iTunes with no problem.
    Would greatly appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    Incidentally, I am able to play these same MPEG-4 files through my QuickTime player just fine.
    Thanks.
