Unable to change my mp3 file to podcast

I can change my individual mp3 files to podcasts in iTunes10 by setting the "Media Kind", but new iTunes 11 does not do anything. This must be a bug.
Please fix it.

Thank you for the link but it can't be used in Moutain Lion because Web Sharing is not available in System Preferences -> Sharing.
I hope there are other solutions. This is really ******* me off.

MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^

MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^ and why wont the music files play anymore??

I reinstalled OSX on my macbook which previously played all avi files with no difficulties. Now I am having difficulties playing Avi files with quicktime PRO that use the Mpeg layer 3 codec. I have done the following with no success: downloaded flip 4 mac, divx, xvid, 3ivx, Xvid codecs, changed MIME settings, and deleted and reinstalled.
Depending on the specific version and sometimes the ordering in which they were installed, you may have created a conflict among the components here. While most current VidX components should be able to play MPEG Layer-3 audio, v5.1.1 is the only free VidX codec that is bi-directional. If that is not a problem, then I would recommend you remove (or "hide") all components in the main "Library > QuickTime" folder. Next I would determine if one (or more) of the AVI associated components can actually play the specific files mentioned on their own. You do this by installing a compenent to be tested, opening the player with one of the problem movies, and checking for correct audio and video playback. Log your results, close the player, remove the tested component, and move on to the next component to be tested. Once you deterime which component(s) may function correctly, I would then move on to determine which specific components are in conflict by repeating the tests but leaving the components installed after each test. In this case start with a component that is known to work and is the one you most desire to use (if more than one works). If the player stops working, then you have located a potential conflict. Set the offending component aside and continue testing until all components have been tested and are either installed or set aside. The last step is to simply evaluate component alternatives and configure you system for those files most often played. In my case the VidX v6 Pro components did not seem to get along with the 3ivX D4 v4.5 and/or Casio AVI and/or XVIDDelegate component combination.

Can I set MP3 files as "Podcast" so that I can get the blue "Unplayed" dot?

Here's my scenario: I have a whole bunch of audio files of Spanish lessons that are in MP3 format that I want to put on to my iPod. There's quite a lot of them: 82 in fact, and they're titled lesson 1, lesson 2, lesson 3, etc.
In order for me to be able to see at a glance, from one day to the next, what files I have listened to, or to be more precise, what was the LAST file I listened to and what is the NEXT file I should listen to, I was wondering if there was some way I could somehow have these regular MP3 files show up as PODCASTS?
The reason I ask this is because non-played podcasts have that little blue dot next to them that shows that they have not been played, and played podcasts don't have that little blue dot.
Obviously, if I could have my Spanish audio files as podcasts, with blue dots, then I could see instantly what is the next file I have to listen to, without having to try and remember the lesson number.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Might take a little work, but you can do it be creating an RSS file for the content, dumping it on a web server, and "subscribing" to it.
* Grab an RSS file from any podcast and save it on your system.
* Edit the file, changing all the description data to something relevant (or removing it)
* For the episodes, change the file location reference from "http://..." to "file://localhost/...thefile_on_your_harddrive". This makes the RSS file only useful to someone who already has the files. It also results in iTunes duplicating the files as you subscribe and it "downloads" each episode.
You may also be able to use GarageBand '06 to make a suitable RSS file, but I haven't ever tried this.

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?

Mp3 file to podcast

Ok, since iTunes is now version 11 I haven't been able to tag/create
mp3 files (recorded radio streams) so that that they show up/play
in iTunes or phone. Going to 'get info' on file just won't go from a 'music'
file to a 'podcast' file. Anyone have any ideas?

First thing is that a file (music or otherwise) cannot be "made into a podcast" by changing the media type. It never could be.
Poeple have told me, in past discussions on this forum, and in very strong terms, that I'm wrong about this, but the fact remains that something is only a Podcast if it has been downloaded from the internet "as a Podcast", which means: "through the Podcast delivery method".
Perhaps what has happened is that Apple have fixed something that was incorrect (being able to change something into a Podcast simply by changing the Media Type).
As for you actual issue, tagging something so that you can play it on your iPod; I'm not sure I understand what the problem is.
Okay, so you have recorded some audio, which is now presumably on your computer as an MP3 file. Did you add any tagging information when you created the MP3 file, for example in Audacity? If you did, or if you can, then that should show up in iTunes. If not, you can modify the tagging once the file has been imported into your iTunes Library.
Presumably you could import the audio before iTunes 11, and that procedure hasn't changed as far as I'm aware, so you should still be able to import the recordings. Once imported, it can be played in iTunes, even before changing any of the tag information. It can also be added to an iPhone.
So what is it about the tagging that you don't like, apart from not being able to "make it a Podcast". How does making it a Podcast change anything?
I ask, so that I can understand. Then I can possibly offer another solution.

Converting mp3 file to podcast

Is there any way of taking an arbitrary mp3 file (or other audio format) and getting iTunes and iPod to see it as a podcast?
I have mp3 files of lectures that I would like to access as podcasts, although they were not access via podcast feeds.

I have a similar need, and I'd appreciate some additional information -- especially regarding how to "host" my own podcast. In my case (very much like the original post), I have a series of MP3 files that are lectores (sermons, actually). So far, I've put them on my iPod by just adding them to my Music Library. But they're difficult to find, and I'd like the additional advantages of making them "podcasts".
Can anyone provide more detail -- either on simple tools to use (for the XML, or the personal web hosting that was mentioned), or a step-by-step procedure to just take my own MP3s, and make them truly podcasts, so that I can get them not only into iTunes, but onto my iPod, as well?

Uploading .mp3 files vs. uploading .band files for Podcast on iWeb

I teach high school and have my students creating audio files for podcast on my iWeb site. Most of the students give me their files in .band format, but some give them to me in .mp3 format.
1) Can I upload the .mp3 file for podcasting to iWeb without turning it into a .band file (which I have been doing).
2) When I drag the .mp3 file into the GarageBand program and then upload it to iWeb, the autopage looks different (no date, no place to write a little blurb, etc.) Is there any way to get them to look the same when using the Share>send to iWeb feature.
3) I also receive frequent corrupted files (8-bit not supported with an abort button). I have never personally receive this message on files that I have created, but I can't figure out what my students are doing incorrectly--anyone know?
Thanks for any possible help.

I am putting a link to what I am talking about--maybe that would help?

Adding picture to mp3 files in iTunes Bugs found!

There is a bug when you adding picture to lots of music in an album. Which you when you finish adding the picture, some of them changed the picture...but there are some not changed. Those not changed picture mp3 files are all bugged, the bug is which your music will be repeating at the first few sec. Its kinda annoying! Need to delete the whole mp3 file away...
Please help to contact Apple about this bugs and fix it quickly! Thank you.

I was having the same issue with a few (not all) .m4k files on a NAS -- in my case the problem was something with file attributes/permissions (I'm using Windows 7).
ITunes could not change the actual file (rename/move to keep organized, add artwork, etc), though Windows would update the file date when I did attempt these things. Permissions seemed fine for the files, but the fix was to simply change an attribute and hit 'Apply' from the file properties window (right click file in File Explorer...Properties).
Specifically, most of my files had the Archive attribute checked, which I just unchecked and hit Apply. The issue wasn't the setting since all of my files have this attribute set and most can be edited by Itunes, but by changing the attribute, it fixed whatever weird issue there was with iTunes altering the file.

[solved]Command line script to equalise volume levels of all mp3 files

Hello guys,
I have a bunch of mp3 files within a folder. Unfortunately they have unequal volume levels. Some of them are far too low, others too loud.
Is there a simple command line script to equalise all of them?
Regards
Robert

I remember I found such a script a long time ago. I suppose it still works, here it is http://codepad.org/MLu1iscD. Please tell me if it works for you. By the way, it depends on mp3gain and python2-eyed3.
ps: As far as I can see, this script doesn't change the mp3 files itself, but stores the new volume in the id3 tag. This means, that you won't corrupt your files in any way, but the player needs to be able to get the volume information and adjust it. The script measures both the album and the track gain. Which one is used can be configured in the player.

HT1819 [Podcast] mix all the imported mp3 files into one Album

Dear Sir,
I need your help of the app [Podcast].
Let me explain my problem.
I enjoying listening to Audiobooks very much.
Everytime I use the iTunes to import some mp3 stories into my iPhone, then change their properties from MUSIC to AUDIOBOOKS. Because I like the convenience of the very two buttons ( 15 seconds of fast backward jumping, and 15 seconds of forward jumping).
But I cannot easily delete those mp3 files that I've just heard. The only way is to erase the whole album in SETTINGS. (I have a bad memory, always forgot which one that I have heard)
Then, I found the app [Podcast], it has all the functions that I need:
one, 15 seconds of fast backward & farward jumping;
two, very convenient (sleeping) timer function;
three, I can easily delete each mp3 file that I've just heard so I know where CAN I continue.
So, I love the app [Podcast], from then on, through the iTunes, I change the properties of my mp3 stories from MUSIC to PODCASTS. It's very easy to operate.
But, then I found something strange: the app [Podcast] mixes every mp3 files together,into one ALBUM, in spite of the ALBUM informations that I defined in EACH mp3 tags.
The app [Music] can classify each ALBUM of those imported AUDIOBOOKS, why can't [Podcast]?
Could you please show me what to do?
Thank you very much.
Yours,
ZJH

This is EXACTLY my problem....and I am disheartened that there is NO reply with fix for this. I need to find another app to use. I like to use the podcast app for audio files so I can listen to them in 1.5x or 2x speed. Frustrated....

Unable to decode and import wav/mp3 file

I've recorded an audio file using Mbox 2 and Pro Tools LE 7.
I have exported the file to the wav format, but when I try to
import it into my Captivate 2 file, I get the following error
message.
"Unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file."
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks for the help.
Mark

Hi "Chemistry guy",
A WAV is not a WAV is not a WAV. There are many "types" of
WAV audio file. Check to be sure that your WAV file is in "
PCM" format. That should be easy with a good audio editor.
Matter of fact, it should be easy even with Windows included "Sound
Recorder" application.
To use your own audio editor, I imagine you know how to find
and change file properties.
On the other hand, if you want to use "Sound Recorder" ... on
WinXP go to "Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Entertainment > Sound Recorder", then open the file, then go to
"File > Save As" ... and
at the bottom of the save-as dialog, you will see "Format"
(describing current file formatting) and a button to "CHANGE" that
format. Click the button and you will see a drop-list containing
various formats.
Select "PCM" and
save the file.
Hopefully with this change made, you will be good to go.
