Setting bitrate in Create ACC version

I am preparing some material for a presentation and the organization specifies that my audio files must be at a bitrate of 128 (sample rate 44.100).
When I create the ACC it show at a bitrate of 256 (VBR). Is there a way of creating the AAC so I am sure that it is at a rate of 128.
If I-Tunes won't do it, what will?
Thanks,
maestrogn

If you haven't used Smart Playlists before, review the page at the link below to learn some more.
Then create one using "Kind" as a criteria. You can set it to include only ACC files (you can use "Get Info" on a file to examine details and identify what the field values are).

  • "Create ACC Version" without files being saved in iTunes?

    Hi, I want to create ACC versions of all the songs in of my iTunes library to put on my external hard drive. The problem is, once i create the ACCs, they're saved in iTunes, so now i have 2 different formats of every song. I have changed the iTunes media folder location to save on my external hard drive, but i still end up with duplicates for some reason. Is there a way to create the ACC versions without them being saved in iTunes? Thanks.

  • Create AAC Version failing in iTunes 8 for large files

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble converting a few large (1gb+) MP3 files to AAC versions.
    The files are Audiobooks which have been ripped from CD, then merged into a single MP3 file (with a track CUE file created so I can add the chapter marks and create a final resulting M4B file).
    The MP3 files are all encoded at 44.1KHz sample rate, 64Kbps bitrate, Mono audio. When converting anything under 1GB (using iTunes' Create AAC Version option), it seems to convert fine, however as soon as I try a file over 1GB it seems to start as expected, then get approx 2/3rds through, then restart. the restart however, does not start from the beginning, it starts from the point where it had got to. The resulting M4A file is corrupt and unplayable.
    Am I doing anything wrong here, or is there some sort of size/length limitation on AAC encoded audio in MP4 containers?
    On a side note, I have set the AAC import options to 44.1KHz, 64KBps bitrate, Mono audio, but this does not seem to be adhered to when converting an MP3 file, instead taking whatever settings iTunes seems to think as right...

    Hi,
    That software looks to be working perfectly so far - not only has it changed me from using three tools to do what this one does on its own, but it's also the first that's given me a clue as to why the other tools were failing!
    When I first got it to convert the chaptered MP3 files across to AAC, it came up with a warning message saying something along the lines of "The audio files you have queued are a total of x,xxx,xxx,xxx frames long, which is longer than the AAC standards can accomodate. The following tracks will be removed...". Looks like it wasn't the filesize at all, but the bitrate was too high, and went over the file's limits that way instead.
    Quick note on the settings: I tried the iTunes standard "64K Podcast" settings first of all, but the sample rate got set to 22K, which caused the speech to go all robot-like, and the S's slurred. Had to bump it back up to 44K (with 32K stereo bitrate, set to mono so 16K overall).
    Overall, a very useful tool, thanks Chris!

  • Create AAC version grayed out iTunes 11

    Hi!
    I am running in Mavericks, iTunes 11. I have a song that I would like to convert to ringtone for my iPhone 5S.
    I have followed the preliminary steps:
    And I have made sure I have the proper Import settings:
    However, when I go to File > Create New Version, the Create AAC Version option is grayed out:
    I have tried both songs purchased through iTunes and songs I previously had, non-protected. The song is correctly highlighted. Has any of you faced this same issue? How did you resolve it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Why can't some one explain this problem clearly even from apple guys. ClaraMGR i know  your problem clearly.
    Latest I tunes can't convert your mp3 to ACC even if you change the extension from mp3 to ACC it wont allow you to drop in the tones.
    This is not easy task, am computer tech guy i know how things works but i always ended up fighting with user interface with iTunes its very complected for general  users. I spend almost a half day to figure out whats wrong with it. finally made my own crack. Am still not sure if this is right way but 100 percent it works not matter what your format is.
    I imagine you Followed all this steps.
    1. iTunes preffs > General. Click the Import Setings button and set it to AAC.
    2. Make sure iTunes prefs > General has Tones ticked
    3. This is the key point you need some converter mp3 to AAC i used soundforge  open a mp3 in soundforge got to file save as AAC/MP4
    4. rename the saved AAC to m4r. IF you don't see the extension type in to youtube  unhide extension in windows.
    5. Drag and drop the file in to itunes tone and go enable the itunes tone sync and click the sync it will convert the file to ringtone and puts in to your itunes tone folder automatically you done. Thats all i hope this will help some one.
    6. got to iphone>general>sounds you will see your file on the top
    Why this is not a one click button , Would be a lot easier if drag the file and right click convert to tone job done right. Why would some one make this so complected to spend days to figure out this is not a some thing we are achieving this is just a insane why would we spend hours of our valuable time to make ringtone this way. this isn't a one thing even i don't know how to grab my own photos from my iPhone its like am running circles around again and gain got nothing. Itunes is not user friendly, I really don't know how itunes software development user testing tools were implemented its pathetic. Even when i open to buy a apps thats insane shocking  i never open that again, i dont find any proper apps, none of them is user friendly its so confusing that freaks me out spending my time on it, Am big fan of apple but am trying to convince my self with itunes but nooooooooooooooo its not easy and i got no time for thisssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

  • Create new version..create AAC version. Does it really convert 128kbs to 256kbs?

    Does creating a new version of a song really convert it from 128kbs to 256? How does it do this? Is it the same quality as importing straight to 256 AAC?

    Joe,
    Yes, when you use "Create XXX Version," the resulting file will have the format and bitrate specified in your Import Preferences.  If you are using the default setting, the result will be AAC/256 no matter what you started with.
    As Niel notes, the conversion process does not have the ability to improve the audio quality of the original, so all you would be getting is a puffed up version with the same quality.

  • HT1550 No longer able to create ALAC version of a WAV file.

    When I select a WAV file, song or album I bring up the menu and am offered, 'Create a WAV Version'. It is already a WAV file, why I would I want to create another. How come I am no Longer being able offered thje 'Create ALAC version Option? Anyone know what I need to do to be able to 'Create ALAC Version'?

    Thanks for the reply ed2345.
    It doesn't help me. I used to be able to have WAV as my default import setting. Then if neccesary I was able to 'create ALAC version' by right clicking and selecting it in the menu. I can no longer do that.
    Regards, Artman
    Artman, 
    iTunes has always allowed exactly one import setting, and it applies both to CD ripping and to format conversion!
    However, it is not that hard to change it and then change it back if you need a different setting for a different purpose, such as creating an ALAC version.

  • "create aac version" only makes another .m4a file...

    I am trying to use the "Create AAC Version" (right click on album) to create some files for playing in the car. When I select that option in the dropdown I find iTunes does indeed create a copy of the songs on the album but the file extension is duplicated to .m4a (same as original) and not .acc
    Would appreciate any insight into what's going on here or what I'm doing wrong.
    Thanks!

    m4a is aac, it's just Apple's way of naming it.  Change the extension to .aac if your car demands it but I am not sure how iTunes will react.  If it is tons of files you can probably find an online bulk re-namer (I use a free one but they charge for it now with newer OSX versions).

  • Create AAC Version?

    In iTunes 8 on my iMac, I noticed that items I recorded myself had the contextual menu option "Create AAC Version." In the older version of iTunes on my eMac, the menu option was "Convert Selection to MP3." I actually prefer the AAC version because of its smaller file size, so I lugged my eMac into the other room, connected it to the Internet, and updated iTunes to version 8. But when I looked in iTunes on my eMac, it STILL only gave the option to convert to MP3! Why the difference between the two Macs? Is it because of the different processors?

    No. The create XXX version is controlled by the import settings you set in iTunes -> Preferences -> General -> Import Settings button. Whatever option you set in import settings is also reflected in the Create XXX version menu item. If you select to import AAC, your menu would read Create AAC version. If you select to import MP3, it would read Create MP3 Version.

    Backup with iTunes. If iTunes is asking you if you want to backup, say yes to that and it will backup your iPad. Have you ever synced with this computer before?
    My boilerplate response for anyone that wants to update the iOS.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

  • How to 'create aac version'?

    I can't create or convert any of my songs to aac formatting. It is set and it is within 30 seconds however it will not let me click on 'create aac version'.
    Is there any way to fix this?

    What exactly is the problem? Does it not give you the "create AAC version" command when you right-click on the track you wish to convert? Or does the command appear but not work?  What version of Windows and iTunes are you running?
    Regards.

  • System should not creates new version when value of PO increased..

    Hi Experts,
    Need your help to solve this problem. When i increase value of PO it should retrigger Release strategy but it creates version first, then i have to tick completion indicator and check then only release strategy retriggers..
    It should not create new version when change po
    Please check below screenshot
    Please help

    Hi
    Please reveiw the following points in note
       - 493900 FAQ: Release Strategy
          4.  Why is the release strategy not determined?
         "If you use version management, the determination of the release
          strategy starts when the version is completed.
          You complete a version by setting the "version completed"
          indicator in the version tab."
       - 662993 Resetting an already occurred release
         You edit a purchasing document with release strategy.
         You change the quantity or the price. In spite of that, the
         already set release is not reset.
    The release strategy works the same with or without version management
    active - the only difference in case - version management is active -
    is that if release is to be reset, it will be reset only on version
    I hope this helsp to clarify this issue
    Kind regards,
    Lorraine

  • Create new versions when making adjustments?

    Hi,
    What does anyone suggest this setting should be set to? It's on the Advanced Tab in Preferences.
    I think it was un checked when I installed the Trial Version.
    The help file stated the following:-
    +Create new versions when making adjustments” checkbox: Select this checkbox to have Aperture automatically create a new version when you adjust a selected image. The adjustment is applied to the original version and the new one is left untouched.+
    So when I edit an image the the software makes a copy and the original is altered? What happens if it's left un checked?
    Any help on the whole editing thing would be gratefully received.

    This is just a way to automatically create a new version when you make an adjustment. The new version is stacked with an unaltered version, allowing you to quickly see them side by side. What you have to remember is that the *original file is never altered*. This is all virtual. What is called original in this case is in fact an original version, not the actual file. The actual file is called the Master. Very important to understand the distinction.
    I personally leave this off. I never use RAW files without adjustments so there's no point in keeping an unaltered version around, plus it tends to quickly multiply versions and just creates clutter. If I want to see the original file I just hit M (this is the default command key for Show Master). Hit M again and I'm back to my version. If I've created a version and want to do a new different looking one starting from scratch, I can select New Version From Master: presto a new "original"!
    If I've worked on a picture and want to create a BW version, chances are I want to keep the work I've already done as a starting point. In that case I select Duplicate Version and do my BW on the new version. Again, I'm never actually duplicating files and I'm never actually altering pixels, original or otherwise. This is all a set of xml instructions that Aperture applies when it displays the files.
    Helping?

  • Create mp3 version

    When right clicking on a "purchased acc" which is not protected, create mp3 version is a selection. This is also available in the advanced tab at top beside the help tab. When I select this option from either location, it looks like it is downloading a file and an alert is sounded when finished but it does not put a duplicate file as an mp3 in the library. Am I missing a step?

    I don't think you missed a step. Here's the procedure: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
    Take a look at your music library in the list view. Sort by the date added column. If that column is not there, add it by using the View Menu -> View Options. Your new MP3 should be at the top of the list.
