Transfering iTunes file to regular mp3 file

Okay so I have a song that I got from iTunes in my my music folder. I need to transfer it to a regular mp3 file so I can use it on windows movie maker. Do you guys know how to do that? Thanks to all who try to help.

You can use iTunes to convert any songs in your library that are free of copy protection to another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. Go to Edit>Preferences>General and click on Import Settings,, Change your Import format to MP3 Encoder for example and choose the Setting or "bit rate" you want. Go back to your library and highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create MP3 version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format

  • I converted aif files to mp3 files in I tunes so I could put them on a flash drive.  Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files in the flash drive.  How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?

    My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
    Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules.  You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
    There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard.

  • Convert regular mp3 file to podcast?

    I regularly record radio shows on my desktop Mac and then put them on my ipod to hear later. I'm trying to find a way of marking those I've listened to on the ipod. I wondered about the possibility of making them podcast files, so that they go to the Podcast folder and get the blue-dot-unplayed/no-dot-played feature. This would give me what I want, I think - a way of managing visually on the ipod what I have and have not listened to. But how do I make a regular mp3 file 'think' that it is a podcast file? I've looked around - here and elsewhere - and it seems to involve esoteric stuff about id3 tags and particularly the pcst tag. But is there a very easy way for non-geek me to do what I want? Or even a way that doesn't involve converting to podcast files, but just marking the files on the ipod in some way as 'played'? I'd really welcome some advice from you knowledgeable guys.

    Thank you chaps: they both sound like good schemes and I'll try them.
    However, they both rely on reconnecting the ipod to the desktop machine to change the status of the played tracks: only then will they disappear as played tracks/podcasts.
    Is there not a way of marking particular tracks in a playlist on the ipod, using the ipod, so that I can see which I've played and which not? The single-star rating trick doesn't help, because you don't see that on a list of tracks. Any other ideas?

  • ITunes has stopped adding mp3 files.

    iTunes has stopped adding mp3 files manually via the add file option, this has happened in the last week, it is music I have bought not illegally downloaded. I have the latest software installed, please help, thanks.

    Had the exact same problem and turning off match indeed did fix it.
    Glad Apple has Match working even better than before...

  • Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please?

    Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please? I will be doing this on an imac 2008 model. thank you for help!

    Since this is the Logic forum and you may be working in Logic, you dont even need iTunes. To convert Aiff to MP3:
    1 - Go to the Bin>Audio Files
    2 - Select the Audio File you want to convert ( and not a region or edit of it)
    3 - Go to Audio File next to the Link icon ( Audio - Edit - View ) and down the menu to Copy/Convert.. gives lots of options

  • Split MP3 file into multiple MP3 files

    I've been through the help section and is till cant seem to figure out how to split a large (2 hour) mp3 file into multiple mp3 files.
    I have a 2 hour MP3 recording (Stereo not mono), and I have added markers (by simply pressing keyboard shortcut 'M' to add marker), but now I would like to know how to split that one mp3 files into multiple files from the markers which I have made...
    All my marker types are "Cue" when i pressed 'M' at the locations I want the track to end/start

    You didn't say which version of the program you're using, but in general, there is a way to do this by adding one additional cue at the very end of the file, then "merging" the cues (which converts the space between each cue into a "range"), and batch processing each range out to a separate file.  (Make sure there's a cue at the beginning of the file, or at least the first material you want in a new file.)
    Now that you've done all that work, I'm going to tell you that what you're doing is probably a bad idea.  Opening any mp3 in Audition and resaving back to mp3 means you've doubled the losses and distortion inherent with the mp3 compression.  Audition can't do lossless editing of mp3s.  The bottom line: are you really splitting the file, and does the result have to be mp3 format?  If saving to a (wave file, or any other lossless format, then what I'm saying doesn't matter.
    In any case, "mp3 Direct Cut" is a terrific freeware program that does lossless mp3 editing, and I'd highly recommend you try it.  It's saved my neck a number of times.  See http://www.mpesch3.de.

  • Itunes 8 wont import mp3 files

    When I sync my ipod, it gives me an error message of about 40 mp3s that wont copy to the library because itunes doesnt support the audio format. The weird part is that these files werent added recently. I've had them on my ipod/library for awhile. The majority of the files were downloaded from Amazon.com, and they all play in WMP, and Quicktime. I've also checked the id tags with mp3tag, and all have the same version ID3v2.3, and all are indeed mp3 files. When I try to import them into my library, either by drag and drop or by adding file to library, Itunes does nothing. The file doesnt show up in the library at all. Any help with this would be appreciated.

    I can no longer choose my kbps of the desired format I want when importing/converting from the DESKTOP.
    No longer? This was never an option.
    Where did you select this previously?
    If the file is one iTunes already can use (WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC or Apple Lossless), it will simply add it to iTunes. It never asked what you wanted to convert it to.
    However, it can be done without having to add and and then convert.
    Go to iTunes prefs -> General and click th eImport setting button.
    Set the format /bitrate you want the imported files to be.
    Now hold the Option key and go to menu Advanced -> Convert selection to...
    This will call up a windows to select folder/file. Select what you want, then OK.
    This will import and convert the files the format you have set in iTunes prefs - Importing.

  • ITunes won't add mp3 files to library

    I recently downloaded some mp3 files and for some reason I can't add them to my iTunes Library.  I've done this before without any problems.  The mp3 files play fine on my iMac, but I can't open them from within iTunes nor add them to the iTunes Library.  I've tried to drag the files into the Library or into a blank play list in iTunes and nothing happens.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Some mp3s are somehow coded with something iTunes does not like.
    You can try the MP3Scan&Repair utility (do a web search).
    You can use a lossless mp3 editor such as MP3Trimmer, Fission, or AudioSlicer ( this one is free and works on my G4 but maybe not on newer computers).  You can open the mp3 and save it again and maybe iTunes will like that copy better.
    You can re-code the mp3 back into mp3 using a third party tool or maybe Garageband (I don't have that).  This is undesirable because there will be lossi n quality.

  • ITunes doesn't play MP3 file anymore!??

    So I updated to iTunes 10.5 and now MP3 files sound all weird. But MP4 files play perfectly fine? Is there a way to fix this or should I call Apple or should I wait for iTunes 10.6?

    If you are playing through remote speakers, iTunes 8.1 will not play the video. Previous versions would play fine using only the computer's speakers, but 8.1 requires the remote airtunes speakers be deselected.

  • ITunes upgrade - now forces mp3 file association to itunes

    Older versions of iTunes would allow me to keep .mp3 file association pointing to winamp, but the latest version of itunes "steals" the mp3 file association back everytime it starts up. Winamp has a "reset file association at startup" checkbox in it's preferences, but I can't find anything like that in itunes. Am I missing something, or is there some other way to get iTunes to not steal this file association whenever it starts. Or is there a way to uninstall this latest upgrade?

    Find one of your MP3 files in Windows Explorer and right click on it and select Open with>>Choose Program.
    On this dialogue, tick "Always use selected brogram to open this kind of file", then select Winamp and click OK.

  • How do I transfer song info in iTunes Library back to mp3 files?

    1. some info of my songs in my itunes library is different from the info stored in the respective mp3 files
    2. I want the song info in the itunes library to be preserved
    3. but when I play a song in iTunes, iTunes would automatically obtain song info from the mp3 file and update iTunes Library.
    4. And I have many files like that
    Quesiton: Is there a way I could transfer the song info in my itunes library back into the mp3 files?
    thanks a lot if anyone has any idea!!

    The album, artist, etc information displayed in the iTunes library comes from the ID3 tags in the MP3 song files. If you change it in iTunes (using Get Info), iTunes updates the file. iTunes does not automatically change it.
    There may be other programs running that are changing it, e.g. the automatic setting in Windows Media Player.
