Slideshow Audio--Can't Use I-Tunes Music Files

I am trying to add audio to a slideshow. When I click on "add media" it points me toward a music folder that includes i-tunes. When I open the i-tunes folder, I see separate folders for all of the artists whose music I have in i-tunes. When I click on an artist's name, elements tells me there are no files. Elements appears to be searching for MP3s .wav and some other kind of file as opposed to whatever format i-tunes stores files. There does not appear to be a way to add to or amend the formats that elements is searching for. (And even if there was, I don't know the format of all of my i-tunes music.) Any advice?

Thank you, Barb. I will attempt to implement those suggestions. However, it's a mystery to me why these work-arounds should be necessary. The link suggests that it's i-tunes' copy protection that prevents me from using i-tunes songs for my slideshow. But I doubt that. The photo editing program I used to use, Nikon's Picture Project, let me use i-tunes songs on slideshows with no difficulty. I simply click a button and it takes me to all of my i-tunes music. I would think elements could work the same way. After all, it's just a matter of playing a song, whose rights I already own, on a computer where the song already resides. No question this is personal use.
But even if I planned to "export" my slideshow to a DVD (which I don't plan to do) i-tunes' copy protection shouldn't prevent that. If I wanted to, I could burn thousands of CDs of i-tunes songs with no interference from i-tunes' copy protection. Why shouldn't those songs be accomanied by photographs?

  • How can I use the m4p music files in e.g. Power Director

    Power Director cant read the m4p format and converting them in a readable format like wav is blocked by the itunes software. Is there any possibility to import these files in Power Director ?
    Thanks fo help.

    The only way to use a track purchased from the iTunes Music Store in other applications is to burn the track to an audio CD. You can then use that CD just like any other audio CD.

  • Can I use the same music file for two accounts to be able to set up two different iTunes accounts?

    I would like to set up two different Itunes accounts on my mac.  I would like to have different accounts for my wife and I so that our devices have different accounts/contacts/email and stuff but we would like to use the same music library.  Can I set the different itunes to go to the same file to see music?  Or could I copy the music file and give the copy to the second itunes account?  I could set it up and authorize the music like for another user?  Is any of this possible?

    Hello 19firedude
    Try moving the entire iTunes Media folder to the Shared folder on your Mac and then in iTunes preferences, change the location of that folder to line it up. Then all you have to do in another user is follow the second set of steps to get that shared properly. Check out the article below for more detailed instructions.

    Can I use I tune match to get my music off iPod classic?

    The iPod classic shouldn't be used to store the only copy of music or be considered a backup device. Put the music on a regular external drive or DVDs.

    Spotify is a streaming service..
    For using any audio in iMovie, you have to manage to get those streams as 'files' on your own harddrive.
    No, iMovie does not 'record' audio streams fromthe internet, you have to search for designated apps which can 'grab' such streams.-

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.. It bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod)
    - Next try DFU mode

    Can I use Blu Dash Music 4.0 phone for verizon?

        Hi russell2147,
    Let's see if you can use that app on your device! Which phone are you using? Is that a 3rd party app you use for listening to music? Most apps give information prior to download so you can check if that app is able to be used on a specific phone.  I suggest checking that information to confirm it.
    Thank you!

  • Can I delete the my music file on my computer

    I have over 11K songs on my i tunes and almost 30k songs on my music.  It's taking up too much room on my computer.  Can I delete the my music files just have the I tunes,   or delete the my music file and then drag the music from I tunes and put it in the my music.
    I sure there are a lot of doubles in the my music file.
    I also have an external hard drive.
    Can you please help  me.
    Thank you so much.

    Yes... With iTunes closed move the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> to the top of the external drive, e.g. as X:\iTunes where X:\ is the drive letter, then click the icon that starts iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key and keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose then browse to and open the file X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl - your library should show exactly as before. Double check that the media folder under Edit > Preferences > Advanced now reads X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. (I'm assuming here that your library won't be old enough for the media folder to have been called iTunes Music as it was back on iTunes 8.) Once you've checked that use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files in case the library is connected to any files stored outside of the media folder. This brings in copies of those files.
    If you think there is media in <User's Music> that was not previously connected to the iTunes library you can move this into X:\iTunes\Automatically Add to iTunes otherwise you can discard files that you know to be duplicates.
    As for duplicates already within the library, or created by moving the remnants of <User's Music> into Automatically Add to iTunes, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls. (Such as lost playlist membership!)
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • How do I find, at-a-glance, the sample size used in several music files?

    How do I find, at-a-glance, the sample size used in several music files?
    Of all the fields available in a FInder Search, "Sample Size" is not available. Finder does offer a "Bits per Sample" field, but it only recognized graphic files and not music files.
    Running 10.8.5 on an iMac i5.
    I did search through a couple of communities but came up empty.
    Thank you,
    Craig

    C-squared,
    There is no View Option to allow display of a column of sample size. 
    For WAV or Apple Lossless files, it is available on the Summary tab (one song at a time, as you know).  For MP3 and AAC it is not available at all.
    You can roughly infer it from the files that are larger than expected for their time.
    99% of the music we use is at the CD standard of 16-bit, so I can guess that displaying it has never been a priority.  However, if you want to make a suggestion to Apple, use this link:

    Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
    One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />
