Track type MP3 AAC etc

In my previos iTunes (5?) I could see what type of track I had eg MP3, AAC, etc. I now have iTunes 7.5 and the track type does not show. How can I get this facilitiy back, or is it another handy aide consigned to history?

Right click (ctrl-click) the headings in your Library - from the menu choose Kind, and position it where you want.

Bit rates, file type, MP3 encoders, quality settings etc.

Can someone provide me with or point me to a good explanation of various sound file types and settings and how it relates to sound quality and disk space? I've been importing tunes, recording some streams etc. and I realize I need a definitive source to explain to me how I can get the best sound quality, with all the variables involved: bit rate (64, 96, 128kbps etc.), file type (AIFF, WAV, MPs etc.), MP3 encoder (Apple lossless, AIFF, AAC etc.) Thanks in advance.....

OK. The following is my opinion.
iTunes supports 5 formats. WAV and AIFF are uncompressed and lossless. Apple Lossless Encoding (ALE) is compressed and lossless. MP3 and AAC are compressed and lossy.
WAV, AIFF, and ALE give the same quality as a CD but are too bulky for use in an iPod. The practical choices are MP3 and AAC.
AAC gives better quality for a given bit rate. However, it is not as widely supported as MP3. Many non-Apple players cannot handle AAC. So choose between MP3 and AAC accordingly.
Both AAC and MP3 allow you to select an encoding bit rate, usually in the range of 32 to 320 kb/s. That number affects the audio fidelity of the compressed file as compared with the CD quality original. Given that you will be using a good stereo at least part of the time, I suggest go no lower than 192.
You can do a web search and find listening tests, etc. You can also take a couple of tracks, rip them at 192, 256, and 320, and see if you notice anything better with the higher numbers.
Enjoy the music!

HT204406 new mix-song added (120 mb, mp3, different tracks, some in aac converted) - itunes match waiting - error, close

new mix-song added to itunes (120 mb, mp3, i tried different tracks, some in aac converted) - itunes match waiting - error, close
after a few minutes it gives an error and closes the window.
small tracks are no problem. and the max limit is not reached
some ideas?
greetings from germany

I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there. With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do? I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart. I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly. I used audacity to reverse the audio.
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks

Itunes slow switching tracks on mp3 but not on m4a files?

Itunes is slow (1 minute) switching tracks on mp3 files but not on m4a files. I can't figure out why. My music files are on a network (NAS) drive. When I change tracks between m4a files, I get quick changes between songs (couple seconds). When I change songs on mp3 files, I notice the network spikes usually in 3-4 spikes over about a minute, and then the song starts. Itunes is hanging during that time. If I start a file from the local machine desktop, I see the same spikes. The computer was freshly reinstalled this week, so new itunes install. Also tried reinstalling. I have a second computer on the same network that I tried to duplicate the problem, and that computer works fine on mp3 and m4a song changes. Uses same version of Itunes 10. Both machines are XP service pack three and a good amout of RAM and run fine with all other programs, so no virus, etc.

I am having the exact same problem. It's maddening. It's happening to all of my computers (all Windows 7) and my Apple TV (using Library sharing). My whole iTunes library is stored on a Buffalo terastation NAS drive. It's been this way for years and I've never had a problem. Until you mentioned it, I never noticed that is was an MP3 vs AAC thing.

Managing both Lossless and MP3/AAC versions of the same album

I've recently decided to keep a lossless version of some albums along with their mp3/aac counterparts. I would want to use the lossless version on my Apple TV to which I have a nice audio setup. I would use the mp3/aac version to go to my ipods (touch & nano). I was thinking of just keeping two playlists and selectively syncing to the appropriate device But will there be any collisions since the tags on the lossless and mp3/aac tracks will me the same (same album, same song, etc.) Do I have to modify any of these so they dont conflict? Thanks for your advice in advance!

Thanks for the info. But it looks kinda messy. And you have to have the ipods manually managed. I'm thinking it would be easier to change the album title to "title MP3" to distinguish it from the lossless copy instead of doing all this encoding work. I was hoping there would be a cleaner way to do it.

Amazon songs have never had DRM. The iTunes Store sold DRM-encumbered tracks until mid-2009. The iTunes Store now only sells songs in non-DRM "iTunes Plus" format, although new DRM tracks still show up occasionally in free playlists and in podcasts.
The old DRM-encumbered tracks cannot be converted to MP3. You can upgrade them to iTunes Plus for 30 cents apiece (USA prices) or you can use iTunes to burn them to an audio CD, which can be used like any other audio CD.

Is it possible to process audio tracks with compression, eq, etc....in Logic Express, similar to the way you can do it in Protools? If so, how do you do it?

Hello,
Yes, add such effects using the insert slots on the track strip.
Click on the slot, choose your plugin from the list. Double click to bring up its control window to set parameters.

How do I put a song as an audio file (mp3, mp4 etc) onto iTunes for sale

How do I put a song as an audio file (mp3, mp4 etc) onto iTunes for sale

Check with CD Baby - they have an agreement with Apple to get indie music on iTunes for sale.

Exporting iTunes tracks as MP3

This is a similar query to that in thread 1015795, and is very simple:
Can I copy a track I've bought from the iTunes store to MP3 format?
Why do I want to do this? Because I've got a MP3 player I want to play it on, and I will not spend 3 figures on an iPod because I don't fancy being mugged either by Apple or some jerk on the street who sees me using it. I'm using iTunes for Windows at the mo, and it won't allow me to convert any iTunes tracks to MP3.
If the answer to the question is yes, then I'd be grateful if someone could let me know, and copy the message to [email protected] If the answer is no, then I'll never buy another iTunes track. TIA.
Fred
PS: I've always liked Macs as technically-superior and user-friendly machines and currently have a Macbook, but I've always hated Apple's proprietary instincts, and I've a feeling that this whole iTunes thing is a way to force punters into buying iPods, which in truth are little more than fancy flash drives with DACs and a mini-jack and certainly not worth £150 ;-\

Ok, thanks for that reply - I'd not realised that the DRM was so inflexible. Luckily I've only bought a few iTunes tracks and I suppose I can burn them to CD to listen to on my fixed kit at home and work, but it's a pain not being able to put them onto a portable MP3 player. I'll make sure not to buy any more tracks in the future - I prefer CDs anyway.
When it comes to record companies, DRM, and copying, the phrase "******* in the wind" always comes to mind...

Showing average data summarized 'Date type' (Sunday, Monday, etc.) wise

Greetings Everyone,
I'm trying to create a chart that shows data averages summarized date type wise.
Background and the specific requirement is as follows:
The application from which I fetch data is a visitor management system. User is prompted to select a date range and I want to show how many visitors have visited the office, in a day type (Sunday, Monday, etc.) breakdown.
For instance, if the date range includes four Mondays and the total number of visitors that have visited on Mondays for this period is 120, then the average for Monday would be 30. Likewise, I want to summarize data for all the seven days of a week.
I have tried different cross-tab options but haven't succeeded yet,
Help would be much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Lakshan.

hi Lakshan,
the answer depends on whether or not your data is missing any dates...i.e. if you've got a Monday that doesn't actually show up in your report (but is still within the date range), do you still count that? if so, that makes things a bit more difficult. if this is the case then let us know.
if your data has no gaps, then here's what you can do:
1) create a new formula called DaysOfWeek with syntax like
weekdayname(dayofweek({your date field}))
2) Insert a Chart and for the On Change Of use the DaysOfWeek formula
3) click on the formula in the On Change Of and press the Order button...use a Specified Order and add all of the week day names in by the order that you want
4) add your visitors field to the Show Value and Set the Summary Operation to Average
cheers,
jamie

Can BC tie into a POS System (Micros or Aloha) to track sales, employee performance etc.

Just wondering if anyone else has been asked this question or knows the answer.
"Can BC tie into a POS System (Micros or Aloha) to track sales, employee performance etc."

While you're waiting on an answer from the community I'd like to share the link with you that will give you an idea of what's possible to integrate. This is the list of all BC web services - https://worldsecuresystems.com/catalystwebservice/catalystcrmwebservice.asmx
Anything you are able to obtain through those services can be integrated. I don't see how employee performance can be integrated.

How to convert inported cd tracks into mp3 tracks

Is it possible to convert imported cd tracks into mp3 tracks in itunes?
If it can be done, can someone explain the procedure?
Thanks

It’s worth mentioning that this results in a loss of sound quality. If you’re listening on the earbuds that came with your iPod, or on a car stereo, you probably won’t hear any difference, but if you're using really good headphones or speakers, it is likely that you will.
Depending on your listening situation and the number of tracks you need to convert, you may decide that you prefer to simply re-import the CDs in question as MP3s.

How can I add lyrics to media (mp3, wma, etc.) files?

Is there any possibility to add lyrics in media files (mp3, wma, etc.) in Windows 7? I didn't get it

For various reasons, that feature was intentionally removed from WMP12 for Win7.
Please, please note that tags can still be edited from within Windows Explorer; however, the 'lyrics' feature was removed there.
See zachd's responses in this thread:
WMP 12 - Where is the Advanced Tag Editor?
There, you'll see the reasons that ATE was removed from Media Player, as well as why 'lyrics' went away.
