Trying to put an mpeg audio streaming 'podcast' on my iPod

Hi-I have a 5 part interview that is in iTunes that I want on my iPod to listen to in my car. It says it's an mpeg audio stream format. I have done all that I can think of to get it to my iPod but it just won't sync. If I Get Info on it, I selected the Media Kind as podcast, it's in my podcast list under Library; it's in my smart playlist (called News Shows) but it won't sync over to the News Shows on my iPod! In editing my smart playlist, I put in the artist name and album name (it is the info I entered in). No go. I don't know what I am doing wrong but I have wasted far too much time trying to get it sync over. There must be a way. Surely. Hopefully someone out there will have an answer for me! Thanks, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, Judy

If it's a stream, you can't sync it to your iPod as it's not physically on your computer. You'd need to actually download it. It sounds as if what you have in your library is a link to the stream.
Where did it come from? Can you check the site to see if they offer an .mp3 or .aac download?

  • MPEG Audio stream files @ HTTP?

    Recently I have started and I am enjoying using GarageBand to make audio clips to add to my iMovie projects. Since I need sounds effects I have downloaded a few from the Internet. They all are in the format "MPEG audio stream files" and come with the annotation "@ HTTP" on the icon. Are they Podcasts and if they are why I cannot use GarageBand to import them as audio files into iTunes?
    Thanks in advance for any imput.

    Take a look at the file size, it's probably very small. Streaming means that you don't actually have the snd file... when you play that reference file the audio is streamed over the internet to you (like a radio broadcast, you don't have the recording, but you can listen to it)
    As a guess I would think that these are not freeware snd f/x, and so you'd be infringing on someone's Copyright by trying to use them.

  • Can iTune convert MPEG audio stream files?

    For my iMovie projects I sometimes need Sound Effects. They can be downloaded for free from the Internet, however the audio files are in the "MPEG audio stream" format. I can listen to them, but iMovie will not accept them. Can they be converted to file recognizable by iMovie?
    Frank

    You cannot convert streams, because you're not actually downloading an audio file, but only the link to it.
    There are 3 audio capture applications known to me, which can be used to record the streams and add the recordings to iTunes.
    Audio Hijack and Audi Hijack Pro can be found here and Wiretap Pro here.
    Hope this helps.

  • MPEG Audio Stream

    Why is it impossible to pause an MPEG audio stream file without having it restart when you want to play it again? And also, why is it impossible to skip ahead in the MPEG audio stream file while it is playing?

    Hi, welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
    An audio stream is not a file on your disk or on a cd, it is literally a digital stream that is playing as it is downloading. When you click on "Pause", you are stopping the stream. When you click "Play" again, you are restarting the stream, but there is now download manager for streams, so the stream starts from the beginning of the file on the server side or else from the beginning of the playlist, or, if it is a live radio stream, you will pick the stream up at the current live position.
    While some of the stream is cached on your computer, iTunes has no control over the cache, and the stream is not cached as a file, so the cache may only hold the most recent portion of the stream.
    I have seen some movie streams that you could pause, backtrack, or move forward (once enough of the stream was downloaded) using Quicktime, but I have seen nothing similar for audio streams short of recording the stream and then playing the resultant file.

  • Loading MPEG audio stream onto ipod

    I've downloaded the MP3 of the day from Spinner into iTunes. It plays fine in iTunes, but it won't load onto my iPod. Is there anything I can do to make it load?

    What's a netbook? I think you meant mini notebook.
    No, I meant Netbook. Netbook is a term that generally refers to a very small notebook whose primary functions are web browsing, email, and other light tasks. They generally have built in WiFi and some of the, like the one I have, also has a built in cellular modem for which I pay a monthly access charge.

  • Ive been trying to put more than one photo album into my ipod touch but after i put in one it erases the other. how can i put them both

    when i try to sync photos into my ipod touch itunes only lets me choose one folder to put in itunes doesnt let me select the folders that i want to put it anymore like it used to. how can i fix that?

    You can connect the iPod to a computer and download the Podcast app using iTunes >  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcasts/id525463029?mt=8
    Or, on your iPod, tap the App Store then type in Podcast then download the app. (It has the same purple icon as the one at the iTunes Store on a computer).
    Only iPods with Bluetooth capability can, "pair" with Bluetooth BOSE devices.
    On an iPod touch, tap Settings > Bluetooth.

  • Streamed podcasts,itunes to ipod nano

    can you record a streamed download onto itunes in order to sync it to ipod nano

    When you subscribe to a podcast in iTunes you can download it (click the down-arrow-in-a-cloud icon) and then transfer it to your iPod.
    Where sites other than iTunes offer streaming you can't usually download these.

  • Rip video with secondary/dual audio stream from dvd to ipod

    I see that my 160gb ipod has an option in the video section for secondary audio. I assume this means a video file or .mp4 can be created with 2 different audio tracks. I want to be able to have a video file with the standard audio and commentary track. I have searched online and I have seen a couple of sites that claim their software can do that but the demos Ive tried havent worked. Does anyone have any experience in this? Or does anyone know of the definitive program to use?

    i just downloaded this program, but when i pop in a dvd, it won't open up. do i have to be registered in order for this to work properly?

  • Audio Stream Songs

    Songs are showing up in my Itunes library that I don't want there. They are snippets of songs that I previewed. If I go to "get info" they are listed as MPEG audio streams. Is there a setting where I can remove these from my library?

  • MPEG with multiple audio streams

    I have a dvd that has one video on it with 4 different audio options. The goal is to recreate the dvd with different menu's etc. I ripped the dvd with MPEG Streamclip. I played the ripped mpeg and it definitely contains all four audio streams. I then imported the mpeg into encore cs4 and it only shows the default audio selection, the other three are gone. I tried importing it into premier and the same thing happened. This seems like it should be pretty easy but maybe not.
    Thanks for the help,
    Kevin

    Kevin,
    First, welcome to the forum.
    Next, I am shooting blind here, as I have never gone this direction. If none of this works, sorry. I only go the other way, creating what you hope to recreate.
    Now, what happens if you rip the Audio in a Multi-track Audio editing program, like Adobe Audition? I would hope that it will rip each Audio stream as a stereo WAV (or as discrete WAV's if you have AC3 DD 5.1 SS). If this does work (remember, no guarantees), you should be able to separate these out, and then Import them into Encore.
    I am sure that many other programs can do what Audition does, but that is my go-to Audio editor and know that it works well with both ripping from all sorts of muxed AV files, and will also handle Multi-track material.
    Good luck, and please let us know if this works. Also, Neil Wilkes, a valued contributor to this forum, is the "Audio guru," and might well have better suggestions.

  • Trying to get my fcp project to burn to dvd at the highest quality? Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

    Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

    I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
    But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
    How are you adding the files to Compressor?
    In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

  • Aim trying to put 2 audio clips together and you can hear the unnatural break. Is there a transition I can insert to cover it. Kind if like we do with video?

    aim trying to put 2 audio clips together and you can hear the unnatural break. Is there a transition I can insert to cover it up. Kind of like we do with video clips? Like an overlay? Thank you

    You could put the two clips on two different tracks with a slide overlap and fade the first clip out out and the second clip in.
    Or trim both clips in a way, that the first clip ens with silence and the second clip starts with silence.

  • No audio when compressing .mov to Mpeg transport stream (m2t)

    Since reinstalling OSX and FCS2 I don't get audio when I compress a quicktime movie to mpeg transport stream, used to be able to do it. I'm playinh the m2t in mpeg streamclip and assume it will handle audio, settings in compressor look ok, (48K 16 bit) although the button for multiplexed mpeg i/layer 2 audio is greyed out and unticked !?

    Answering my own query here, but in case it helps someone else ... there appears to have been sound all along, at least since I ticked the mpeg audio box on the extra tab. When the file is playing in mpegstreamclip you have to work the volume fader down and up again at which point the sound comes on (yes it was faded up initially)
    Wierd one, its almost as though there was a faulty physical fader rather than a virtual one.
