Stop Captivate from Resaving mp3 to wav

How do I stop this? This is a huge flaw on the part of captivate. When I import an audio mp3 clip on a feedback caption it 90% of the time saves as a wav file and quadruples the size!
Wav Audio is very large and makes my projects much larger than they need to be.

Hello again
Trust me. Adobe *IS* paying tons of attention to it.
The main way that changes get made is by enough users such as yourself report back to them their likes and dislikes. This is done using the Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form (same page is used for both purposes). So please consider filing a Wish Form to report your disdain for the behavior. (Link is in my sig) Each of these that gets submitted actually ends up in front of the development team.
Cheers... Rick

Is there a way to stop captivate from continuing on a show action?

Have a button that on success shows a text box.
Is there an option that stop time like from continuing as well?
Or do i have to create an advanced action?

Its a simple click a button and reveal a text box and do nothing else.
There are going to be 60 or so of these actions throughout the course I'm building. So I didn't want to create an advanced action for each button.
Oh well.
Thanks for the response.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically adding mp3s I've downloaded to my library?

As I make a variety of YouTube videos, I tend to scrawl the web for various sound effects and music I can use in my projects. I sample all of them online before downloading, but it seems that whenever I download an mp3 to my desktop, iTunes seems to get a mind of its own and go "Hey, let me add that to the library and play it for you." That's not what I want to do at all, and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to stop iTunes from doing so.

Windows Media Player can often be the culprit, with iTunes revealing edits that WMP has made in the background. See this post for suggestions. The most important bit is setting the options as per the fourth image which will stop WMP making changes in future. iTunes will carry on revealing any damage that has already been done.
A slightly more obscure possibility is that your edits haven't taken, either becuase the file is locked (iTunes won't raise an error) or occasionally because multiple tags are involved and iTunes writes to one, but reads back another.

Converting From Mp3 to Wav and also dividing a song.

Is it possible to convert an mp3 to .wav and then split the entire song into 10-second wavs. If there is a way, please share. Thank you. I'm using Quicktime Pro

Nathan, welcome to these discussions.
Open the .mp3 file with QT Pro.
Set the "in and out" (selection markers) to the ten seconds you wish to convert and use "Copy" from the Edit menu.
Open a new QT Player window (Control-N) and then Control-V (paste).
Choose "Export" (File menu) and then choose Sound to Wave.
Repeat for all the conversion you want to make.

How can I stop Pages from changing the date of a document?

It seems that at some point not long ago, I set Pages to use the current date when I use a template that I made. But now, when I open an existing document that was made with that template, the date is changed to the current date. I certainly do not want that to happen. Does anyone know what I can do to stop Pages from doing this? Thanks so much for any input.
Al
Update: Immediately after posting this question, I found the simple answer: double clicking the date and unchecking the 'automatic update' box.

Right click on the date to change its behavior and once you have fixed it resave your template.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
I listen to primarily classical music
All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist. I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
Any help?

Purchased or ripped media?
If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.

How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example. I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

Setting Quicktime as default mp3 and wav player

Hello
I know this is a pretty basic question, but how do I set Quicktime to be my defualt player for mp3 and wav files?
If i select a wav file and then tick the "Always Open With" box it only does it for that particular file and I can't find any related options within the program.
any help will be very much appreciated.
thank you

Highlight a mp3 with the mouse, then get info from the finder. (Right click or click+control key.) A window will open up with the mp3 info. Scroll down to where it says, "Open with:." Click on the tab to pick an application to open the mp3 with. If Quicktime doesn't show up in the drop down menu, pick OTHER at the bottom of the menu. The Application window (folder) should open up, if not, navigate to you Application folder. Scroll down to Quicktime and pick for the application to open the mp3 with. Done. Do the same with a wav file.
Best bet is to click on CHANGE ALL in the info window. This will change all mp3s and wavs file to open with Quicktime.

Converting iTunes (m4a) to mp3 or wav

I have a fairly extensive iTunes library which I sync with my iPod Nano 2. My daughter has just been given an mp3 player for her birthday and I'm trying to find a simple way of exporting & converting tracks for her to either mp3 or WAV format without losing my m4a. Any ideas short of burning original to CD then re-importing under her account (where import of CD's is set to mp3)?
I have managed to open an iTunes track as m4a within Quicktime and save as a wav file, but the file size went from 2.6 MB to 11.7 MB - not very practical.
Cheers, Andy

If the file is an .m4p then it is DRM protected and you can only burn is as an audio CD - you can figure out the rest.
If the file is a .m4a - no DRM - then you should be able to convert it to an mp3 within iTunes. Change your iTunes import options prefs.

How to convert AMR files into MP3 or WAV?

Hello,
I'm not sure if that's the right place to ask, but I couldn't find any more suitable one, so...
Can anyone recommend a nice convenient application to convert my phone's recordings from AMR format to MP3 or WAV - eg. something I can conveniently listen to on my PC?
Thanks in advance!

Many of my friends recommend iDealshare VideoGo to convert AMR files to MP3 or WAV.
Today i just have a try, and find it really works great in converting AMR to MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, AIFF etc with high audio quality.
what i like prefer is its drag and drop fuction and batch conversion fuction.
Here is the step by step guide at How to Convert AMR to MP3, WAV?
Hope it also helps for you.

How to convert MP4 on iTunes to MP3 or WAV for Windows Media Player?

I have purchased lots of audio books online, but until recently had not purchased much music. I recently purchased an album, and it downloaded nicely into iTunes, and of course I can access it on my 80 gig iPod. But when I tried to move a copy into Windows Media Player so I could copy it into a little MP3 player that I bought for special use, I found that I could not get a copy to convert. DOes anybody know how I can convert a Store purchase from MP4 to MP3 or WAV file for use with Windows Media Player?

+"I recently purchased an album... so I could copy it into a little MP3 player..."+
You shopped at the wrong place. The iTunes Music Store does not sell (and has never sold) anything in MP3 format. If you want MP3s for your MP3 player, shop at online stores that sell MP3s, such as amazon.com.
As for any iTunes DRM-encumbered tracks you are already stuck with, take Zevoneer's advice and use iTunes to burn them to an audio CD.

Re: conversion to mp3 or .wav

I am using Adobe Photoshop to create a slideshow with digital camera pix. It has option to browse and look for music to incorporate in the show in mp3 or .wav format. When I browse and go to my music/itunes/artist/album and open the album folder, I don't see any songs (it displays only files of type mp3 or wav-- there are no other options).
I can only assume that however itunes works, it is not in a format of mp3 or .wav. Is this a correct assumption? What format does itunes use?
If so, how do I convert itunes format to mp3 or wav? When I click on a desired song from my library in itunes and go to "advanced" at the top I see an option "convert to AAC". What is this?
When I simply drag from itunes library onto desktop it creates a .m4a extension. Adobe Photoshop doesn't seem to recognize this either. Any thoughts?

AAC is a newly developed codec by a conglomeration of several companies and is used with the MPEG4 ISO standards. It is not proprietary to Apple but it is not MP3 or WAV. See:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/aac/
http://www.vialicensing.com/products/mpeg4aac/standard.html
If you get the "convert to AAC" selection in the menu, then your importing settings are for AAC. Go to: Edit=>Preferences=>'Advanced/Importing' tab and change your setting to MP3.
Then select the song you want to convert and iTunes will create a new MP3 file for you.
Post back if you have more questions.
