TA26407 Converting my songs from ABR to VBR

Will i lose or gain any quality from converting my songs from aac abr to aac vbr? I'm only changing the abr to vbr, not the bitrate.
I sold 90% of my collection to this store and I can't re-rip my collection. Most are at 128 kbps AAC VBR, and about 20% is 256 kbps AAC.
Would my best option to just leave everything as is? Thanks!

Open iTunes on your Mac. In "Store" menu, click "Authorize Computer".
I just transferred my entire iTunes library over from my Win XP machine using the "Backup to disc" feature (must have iTunes 7 for that). Pretty simple and straightforward. After I restored the backup discs onto my MacBook, I plugged up my Windows-formatted iPod and chose the option to restore it (basically a format), then it showed up as a Macintosh format in the Summary screen. After that, I just went to the file menu and chose "synch my iPod" and it's transferring all the music as I'm typing this.

Converting a song from one sample rate to another

i recently had to convert a song that had been done in 44.1 to 48. that is, all the audio i had recorded or imported and chopped up was at 44.1. what i wanted was to change them all to 48, so that the new recordings that had to be done would be at the new sample rate. obviously i can select copy and convert in the audio editor but it doesn't change the region file referneces in the arrange.
short of actually physically making sure that logic can't the old audio files and thus forcing it to change file reference, i had to change each audio file with sample rate converter maually.
surely there must be a better way. anyone know what it is?

o.k. yes, It's all coming back to me now...
The work around is a little odd, but the way I did this before, was after batch converting the audio files to the new sample rate, I had to literally throw the original audio files into the trash, and then empty the trash. ( Yes, I backed up first, just in case... )
I then opened the Logic song, and a prompt says "X(amount) invalid regions changed." Then Logic begins to create overviews for all the new audio files, and then it's done. The song is playing all the new sample rate converted audio files, where the old ones used to be.
You need to empty the trash though, or Logic goes and finds the original audio file in the trash, and uses them.

Your signature lists both, Mac and iOS device - are you asking about GarageBand on your Mac or your iPhone/iPad?
If you are asking about the upgrade from GarageBand '11 to GarageBand 10.0 on your Mac, the old GarageBand version should still be installed. The installer will have moved GarageBand '11 to a separate folder "GarageBand 6.0.5" in your Applications folder. Open this folder and click "GarageBand". Does this version still see your old projects? If not, type ".band" into the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. Does that sfind your missing projects?
If you are asking about GarageBand on iPad/iPhone, there it is not possible to restore the previous version after you upgraded. And I do not see, how this upgrade could have deleted your projects. Have they completely vanished, or can you not open them any longer? If your projects have vanished, restore your device from your backup: See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview

Receive message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)... "Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'. The required folder cannot be found." CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until restart.

Consistently receive the following message after importing serveral songs from CD into iTunes (latest ver 11.1.5.5)...
"Error occurred while converting the file 'songname'. The required folder cannot be found."
CD/DVD ROM is no longer recognized until computer is restarted.

I have the same problem. I recently moved my music from a Vista PC to a new Laptop with an external CD drive. It will copy one song from the CD and it will show in the Music file and then I get the message ' Error importing a CD - Folder not found'. I must unplug the CD drive and plug it back in. I have seen no fix for this problem.

Hello. Today I downloaded then transferred some songs from a YouTube converter to my desktop then into my iTunes Music. I then synced my iPod Touch to get them on my iPod now all of my other songs are gone! How do I get them back?!

Hello. Today I downloaded some songs from a YouTube converter. I selected the songs I wanted and tranferred them from my desktop into iTunes. I clicked on "Music", which I believe is where ALL of my other songs that I already had on my iPod, should be. But they're not. They're all gone! I tried logging out and searching my original songs I had in the search box, but nothing shows up. Only the songs I had transferred from the YouTube converter are displayed in my iTunes music, and I don't know how to get them back. I also tried syncing and restoring my iPod back from iTunes Backup but that didn't work, either. I don't know what to do! Please help!!

When you do a sync iTunes will only transfer the music you have selected. So you want to make sure that you select every song to sync.

Converting session/song to 48k from 96k

I am working at home on some tracks that were recorded at 96k in Protools. We consolidated the PT tracks and just imported them into Logic as Waves. for the most part they are working but I did have some issues with songs being damaged and getting all kinds of random error messages that prevented me from even loading that song. It's happened twice so far. This is the first time I've had any problems like this AND it is the first time that i am working at 96k with such large files. What is the simple way to convert the songs and the tracks/files to 48K. Is there a simple way? It's seems like the size of the files may be the culprit. Any other ideas appreciated.
the types of error messages that I have gotten on several of these songs are:
Warning:Project May be damaged
Minor Problem In Data
Score Style Fixed 12
Error: CSong::CreateSeq-Illegal Block Size
then the song will finally open up and no regions or tracks are in the arrange window at all.
thanks for your time,
Jdf

thanks alot. I just followed your instructions on one song. Everything seemed to convert over to 48k just fine. I stayed in the same session/song. I may try starting a new empty template next. It did change all of the files to just the name of the song instead of their individual track names but that is probably because of how I "saved" them.
I'm sure I can get the tracks to a new empty template but what is the easiest or correct way to import a number of tracks into a empty project like you described? As you can see I am more of a songwriter/musician than a Mac operator! thanks again,
jdf

"If it's not too late delete itunes off your c
drive and reinstallit on d"
No need to uninstall iTunes from the
main C: drive and install it to another drive. In
fact, it is a bit safer to keep the iTunes
Program installed on the same drive with the
other programs.
iTunes operates as a database of information for your
music files. The actual music files are stored on
your PC, not within iTunes. iTunes keeps absolute
references of the music file location and other
information in its database file. This allows iTunes
to use music files from any location on the PC:
different directories/folders on the main HD, another
internal drive, and external drive or a network drive
(or any combination of the above). Each song
reference has a specific and hardcoded path so iTunes
can find and play (or sync) it.
Make sure you only change the location of the iTunes
Music Folder, rather than the iTunes
program. Move all the music files to the D: drive.
I respectfully disagree with your claim. I've been running itunes on a dedicated music drive for over a year and had not one issue. iTunes can still allocate a file from any one of my computer's 5 hard drives. Keeping it where other programs or OS are installed makes no difference at all. By installing iTunes on the music drive, the iTunes music folder is automatically where she would want it.

Problem Fixed:
Remove the song from your itunes library, then go to the itunes store and try to download it again. It will say something like "this song has already been purchased, would you like to download it again for free?". Click yes, and it will download again. This worked for me, hope it helped

Hello tomspoon
Check in the Music Folder of your computer to locate the songs there, then just drag it back onto iTunes.
Where are my iTunes files located?

Converting songs from itunes for use in FCE

I am a new mac user who switched from adobe premiere to FCE. I need to use some music from my itunes library in my FCE project. How do I convert itunes audio for use in FCE?

Hi,
I'm pretty new to FCE, so this might be useless. But I've found a trick (obtained from "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop" by Tom Wolsky) which is to render audio at Item Level. It allows you to render a piece of music to the same sampling level as another item.
It seems to work fine, but some of these guys who've used this more might know of problems when using it.
Import your song from the Music folder (or wherever you have them stored) and just go into the Sequence/Render All or Render Selection menus and check the "Item Level." The next time you render your audio, it should render to the same properties as existing items in your project.
At least, that's how I gather it works. This won't help with copy protected songs as the guys mentioned, but the majority of my songs are not from the iTunes store, so it's useful to me. Hope that helps!

Problems converting song from AAC to MP3 in iTunes

hi,
I have just downloaded some songs from the iTunes store and they download in the AAC format, I usually right hand click on a song and convert it to MP3 file, however I have one song "animal by neon trees" that it keeps coming up with an error but it says it is an unknown error. this is what it says
error occured while converting the file "animal". an unknown error occurred (-3)
has anyone else encountered this issue??
please help
ps. i have the latest version of itunes, i have also converted other songs today not a problem.

Hi affilgraph,
Yes, it can be done. First, go to iTunes preferences, choose "Advanced", click on the "Import" Tab and select "MP3 encoder" next to "Import Using". Close the window. Now select the files in questions, go to the "Advanced" menu and choose "Convert selection to MP3". However, if your files are already encoded to AAC this will not decrease the size of your library significantly AND you will lose sound quality. In addition, converting your library in one go might bring your computer to its knees risking data loss. So, I would recommend buying a bigger HD instead.

What is the best and safest way to convert songs from a dvd to an audio MP3?

What is the best and safest way to convert a song/or songs from a dvd to an audio MP3? Are there any free safe converters?
I have some live music from a concert (currently available on dvd only) that I want to convert to MP3 ... playable on my iphone.
Thanks!

Java float; IEEE 754 single precision has 32 bits: 1 sign bit, 8 bits of exponent, 23 bits for the mantissa.
Java double; IEEE 754 double precision has 64 bits: 1 sign bit, 11 bits of exponent, 52 bits for the mantissa.
When you widen a float value to a double this is what happens to the bits
   float: s y   xxxxxxx mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

}Please point out where you think there is loss of precision.

HT1766 I want to put the songs from my MP3 onto my new phone but it just shows all my songs with an exclamation point. How do I convert my songs to work with my iTunes?

I want to put the songs from my mp3 onto my iPhone but everytime I go to do it it shows exclamation points next to my songs. How do I convert them to work with my iTunes and phone?

The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use myFindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
