TROUBLE CONVERTING AAC

I WANT TO BURN SOME OF MY PLAYLIST ONTO A MP3 CD (MY PLAYLIST IS IMPORTED IN AAC FORMAT). WHEN I HIGHLIGHT THE PLAYLIST I WANT TO BURN, I RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT "CONVERT SELECTION TO MP3". THERE IS A STATUS BAR UP TOP THAT SAYS CONVERTING AND IT USUALLY TAKES 10-15 SECONDS TO CONVERT EACH SONG. HOWEVER WHEN I TRY TO BURN IT TO A CD I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS IT CAN'T BURN MP3S BECAUSE NONE OF THE SONGS ARE IN THAT FORMAT. I'M USING ITUNES 5.1. ANY IDEAS?

Dustin,
Have you actually created a PlayList with all the songs in that you want to burn?
Select all the songs and drag them to the navigation bar on the left. Once there, you should be able to click on the playlist and then click on the burn button in the top right hand corner - it should then prompt you to insert a blank cd and it will start to burn the playlist.
Also, it is possible to burn cds purchased via the itunes store using itunes. It is the same process as I have described above, grab the album or tracks to the navigaion bar and click the burn button.

  • Unable to convert aac (m4a) to another format

    I have hundreds of m4a files in iTunes, and I want to convert them mp3.
    however every time I try, I get an error message
    "Error occurred while converting the file "myFileName". The disk could not be read from or written to."
    now, I know you'd generally think that my permissions are set incorrectly, but I've checked that the files have read/write access.... I even tried converting them to WAV and AAC instead but same issue. Weirdly, MP3 files in the same folder can be converted to another format.
    I tested converting a problem AAC file outside of iTunes using 3rd party software and it worked.
    It seems to be that my AAC (mp4a) files are being stubborn inside iTunes. anyone know why?

    First, M4A stands for MPEG 4 Audio. It's an AAC file inside an MPG envelope. AAC is the successor of MP3, providing better quality at lower file sizes. In addition, people distributing content don't need to pay royalties to use AAC.
    To convert these files to MP3 files, there is two ways for you:
    #1. go to into the Preferences panel of iTunes. Click on the orange "Importing" selection and then select an MP3 Encoder for importing. Change the settings to whatever you want. Now, click OK and go back to the main window of iTunes. Select all songs you want to convert to MP3 and click on "Advanced" -> "Convert Selection to MP3".
    iTunes knows a second AAC format called M4P. This is the protected version. It cant be converted to MP3 as easily. If you want to convert it to MP3, do this: First, burn the songs you want to convert onto an Audio CD (preferrably an CD-RW so you can erase it again afterwards). Now, import those songs again, this time into MP3 files.
    #2.you can use a video converter software, here i recommend you Leawo Video Converter,this video converter can help you to convert aac audio format to mp3 files easily. You can find this software here. http://www.leawo.com/leawo-video-converter/

    I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folder location. So I downloaded DNG converter v7.3 for D5200. It identifies the folder and files; but it is giving me parsing error on trying to convert files. I'm running Windows Vista Home Edition SP1. Kindly advise. Thank you.

    I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
    What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras.  Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder?  If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
    Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
    What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple.

  • Trouble converting MS SQL 7 ntext to 10g CLOBs

    Hola -
    Using OMWB 10.1.0.2, and I'm having trouble converting over SQL 7 ntext fields to CLOBS; I either wind up with a single character in the CLOB field, the first character in the SQL field, or all text is brought over with spaces in between (represented by some odd character I haven't fully checked out yet, but it shows up onscreen as a box).
    I'm in the early stages of checking this out, but any greneral ideas or directions for testing/solving this difficulty would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

    Hi James,
    S a m p l e T e x t
    After futher investigation, I determined
    that these are not spaces but a null character
    ascii code "0".This data is in Unicode, so you see a null char after each character in text editor.
    It is normal.
    Seems you data were transferred well.
    If the original data is not in Unicode, change the database character set to ASCII.
    Or please make sure that SQL Server NTEXT was converted to CLOB, not NCLOB. NCLOB is always Unicode.

  • How do I convert AAC files and put them on my SD card

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to convert some of my itunes track unto my sd card and then play them with my zen. ? The problem is I can't figure out how to get zen media explorer to put the converted files on my sd card. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? Any help and information is very much appreciated.

    Your instructions does not seem to address the issue of putting converted aac files onto the sd card.
    Yes, they do. What they don't answer is "How do I configure <insert random media management application> to convert tracks between different audio formats and DIRECTLY store the converted output to the SD card I have installed in my Zen?
    Why not? Because it isn't really possible. The internal memory of the Zen and the SD card contents are completely distinct storage areas and are not simultaneously visible to the host computer. You either have the Zen in MTP mode where you can interact with the internal memory or you have the Zen in Removable Disk mode where you can interact with the SD(HC) card. It is an either-or proposition. So you must (a) convert your music files to a location on your host computer, (b) put the Zen into Removable Disk mode, (c) transfer the converted files to the SD card and then (d) restore the Zen to MTP mode (where you can use the Memory Card menu items to browse/play the files).
    I suppose I could pull back on the "not possible" part a bit since a stand-alone audio converter should allow you to set a user-specified output folder. As such you could put the Zen into Removable Disk mode first and then configure the converter to send files to the approriate folder on whatever dri've letter the SD card gets mapped to.
    Message Edited by daemonvi on 05-8-2009 2:0 PM
    I think I want to start with (a), now can I use Zen media explorer to convert the files and place in another location on my computer or I must I download a 3rd party application to do this?

    No there's nothing wrong with the Jpegs, but I want to srart uploading images for sale in Alamy, but they say they must be a minimum of 17mb un compressed. Does that mean that at 6mb compressed from 90mb they'd be acceptable?

  • Having trouble converting array to spreadsheet string, storing the file and coverting back to array with complex numbers

    I am working with a network analyzer. I have arrays made of 5 columns the first consisting of an integer and the next four consisting of complex numbers. I am converting the array into a spreadsheet string and then saving the file using the write characters to a file VI. That seems to work well as when I open the file in Excel all the data is there. However when I try to reverse the process, open file and convert back to array, I loose some of the data. Specifically the imaginary parts of my complex numbers are all going to zero. I have narrowed down the problem to be in the conversion from spreadsheet string to array and vice versa. I
    think the problem may be with the 'format' input to the VI. I do not have an adequate resource for this so I am not sure what to put in to accomplish my task. Any takers?

    Hi Biz
    I don't think there is a direct way of converting a complex number to a
    string, so when you convert the array to a spreadsheet string, the
    numbers would be converted to real data.
    However, you could try separating the real and imaginary parts using the
    "Numeric: Complex to Re/Im" function, and then store these - either in
    separate files or in adjacent columns/rows in the same file. Then, when
    you read in the data again, use the "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function
    to put the two "halves" together.
    If you actually want Excel to interpret the numbers as imaginary, then
    you'll probably want to create a string for each complex number of the
    form "Re + Im*i" (after separating the Re and Im parts), by using
    "String:Format into String" with 2 numeric inputs and the format string
    "%f+%fi".
    Reading the data back into Labview then would require splitting the
    string into the 2 pieces by using "Stringcan from String" with 2
    numeric outputs (smae precision as original numbers specified by the 2
    Default Value inputs) and the same format string "%f+%fi", and then using
    the above-mentioned "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function. It worked for
    me, so if you can't follow what I am describing, send me an email and I
    can email you what I did (LV 5.1.1).

  • Trouble converting a complicated navigation into a library item

    I am having trouble converting our main navigation into a
    library item. The navigation includes many images, layers and
    behaviors. You can see the nav at the top of
    http://www.vedanta.org as you
    scroll over the main topics just under the banner.
    I built the nav from scratch on a new XHTML page and it works
    fine. Then I did Edit/Select All and the entire nav was selected.
    But when I choose Modify/Library/Add Object to Library, absolutely
    nothing happens, nothing appears in the library at all.
    Is this navigation too complicated to be saved as a Library
    item?

    DW is having a little trouble interpreting your GL code. For
    example, the
    menu is here -
    <div id="rkou">

    border="0"></a></div>
    DW will be flummoxed trying to put this into a Library item.
    Either rebuild the menu in DW, or try this -
    copy everything from -
    <div id="wivu"> (line286)
    through -
    <p></p> (line 322)
    inclusive, and paste it into a new Library item (FILE | New
    > Library item).
    Save that file in the Library folder with the *.lbi
    extension.
    When you insert it into a page, MAKE SURE THAT THE PAGE
    ALREADY HAS ALL OF
    THE GL CODE IN THIS LINKED PAGE IN THE HEAD.
    See if that works.

  • How to convert AAC to MP3 in iTunes

    I sent a friend of mine a song in the AAC format; I had thought that format was universally acceptable. Unfortunately, my friend said that she couldn't open the file. I then thought of converting the file to the MP3 format, because I know she can read that. This gets to my question: How do you do it? When I highlighted the song and clicked on Advanced, the only option was to convert to AAC. That's when I decided to come here. Is there a way to convert AAC to MP3 with iTunes? Also, how widespread is the acceptance of AAC?
    iMac DV (Special Edition)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You got the process correct, it
    is just that iTunes only offers you the option to
    convert to whatever your preferences are currently
    set to for importing.
    So go to preferences, importing, set it to MP3. then
    go to your song and you can now use the "Convert
    to..." option which should show MP3. Once done, go
    back to preferences and switch back to AAC if that is
    what you normally want to use.
    Patrick
    That was fast. Anyway, it worked. Thanks for your help. Now, all I have to do is to work-out what combination of factors I should use to obtain the smallest possible MP3 file while maintaining decent quality. It's an individual decision. What would be okay for me, might be intolerable to others, but I want to keep all sound files less than 1 MB. Make that, "all sound files that I send". I hope that doesn't mean that I will have to keep duplicate files. We'll just have to see. Anyway, thanks again.

  • Convert .aac files to .mp3 in itunes 11.0

    How do I convert files from .aac to .mp3?  I've changed my 'import as' settings to .mp3, and when I select a file, and click File->Create New File, all I can select is .aac format.
    Thanks.

    Janice.
    You can convert AAC files to MP3 by using the Advanced > Convert menu. However, you must first go to the Preferences > Advanced menu and change "Import Using AAC Encoder" to "Import using MP3 Encoder". This setting is used for both importing and converting. When you are finished converting, change the Preferences setting back to the encoder you prefer for importing.
    You can burn an MP3 CD if your CD player can play that format. You can fit a lot more songs on an MP3 CD than an Audio CD, but not all CD players can play an MP3 CD. Just go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced >Burning and select the type CD you want. Note that songs must first be converted to MP3 format to burn to an MP3 CD. If your songs are in AAC format, iTunes converts them on the fly to AIFF when burning an Audio CD, but cannot burn them to an MP3 CD unless you convert them to MP3 files first.
    Hope this helps.

  • Convert AAC files to MP3 in iTunes?

    On my Mac, I can download from the internet in either MP3
    or AAC. I can also change MP3 files to AAC. But, can I
    change AAC files to MP3? I'm sure Apple had me do this one
    time to override some iTunes error, but I can't seem to do
    it now. I used this MP3 format for a long time so a lot of
    my downloaded songs are in this format. Now I'd like to
    change them back to AAC because it says I can't make a CD
    from MP3 files. Can I change the format or is there some
    way I can make a CD with MP3 files? I think I did it before
    on my old computer....I MUST have done it before because so
    many songs are in MP3 but it says I can't do it on the new
    mac.
