Upgrade songs to higher kbps

is there any way that i can upgrade the kbps rating on my songs to one that is higher?

You would need to re-import them from CDs at the higher bit-rate. You can't do it from low bit-rate copies as the data has been lost.

  • I am re importing all my CD's into iTunes. I used a higher Kbps in mp3. I am up to almost 7,000 songs, and the Gb's used is almost at 50 gigs. Am I able to lower the Kbps so I can bring down the gigs used without having to re import the CD's all over agai

    I am re importing all my CD's into iTunes. I am using a higher Kbps in mp3 format. I have over 6,000 songs so far, and I have already used around 50 gigabytes. I want to know that if I want to change to a lower Kbps instead in mp3 to lower the gigs used, how can I do that without having to re import all my CD's all over again. My iPod Classic is the 160 Gb model. My version of iTunes is 10.6,and I am using a Windows 7 computer.

    You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
    If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

  • HT1535 How do i convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC

    I am trying to sync selected songs to my Iphone 5 from my itunes library. I have recently taken my computer to be fixed and all of my music documents were taken off but the files were replaced shorty after. I re-downloaded itunes and it is up to date. My iphone is also on the ios 7.0.4. Whenever i plug my phone in to be synced it never goes past the "waiting for changes to be applied" step. While my phone was still connected i went to the "On this iphone" tab and clicked the autofill button and a message came up that said i must convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps ACC to allow the songs to be copied to my iphone. How do i do this? Also, once this is done will it solve my problem with transfeering my songs from my library to my iphone?

    Sid,
    With the device connected, click the Summary tab and you will see the "Convert higher bit rate..." option.  Set it to 128.  See picture below:

  • Using the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" feature...

    I recently discovered the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" feature and used it to copy my entire 70 GB music library to my 64GB iPad. The music library now occupies only 45 GB. Awesome!!!
    Unfortunately, the whole process took well over 24++ hours on my quad core Windows 7 computer (takes about 6 seconds per track). Questions:
    1. Is it possible to speed up the process? Even though I am using iTunes 64-bit version, it seems that at no point is more than a single core being used at 33%. Seems to me like overall 8% of the CPU (33% / 4) capacity is being used for the conversion and 92% is being left idle. Is this just bad programming or is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Others see similar problems?
    2. Now I have already started dreading the day, I need to restore my iPad (e.g., when OS version 4 becomes available). I would hate to have to do this process all over again. Should I need to restore my iPad, is there anyway I can force iTunes to back up the 128-bit AAC versions on my computer and restore it up from there?
    Any insights into both these questions will be deeply appreciated.
    Cheers,

    So, I am wondering why iTunes uses only 8% of the processor power in converting the songs.
    Possible reasons not to grab more of the CPU power (1) maybe the process is I/O bound due to all the writing, and is not processor limited? (2) since conversion is almost always a background program, and the user will typically have other things going on, maybe it intentionally limits CPU use?
    I ran a few quick experiments (out of curiosity) and think the answer is #2. No apparent technical reason but potentially a limitation introduced by Apple's engineers to maintain a good user experience (for some people at least). I fired up 4 instances of dbpoweramp and ran multiple conversions and found that the process goes faster than what iTunes can do by an order of magnitude. With luck, someday Apple will have an option for users to select how much of processor bandwidth to be allocated for the conversion.

  • What does convert higher bit rates songs to 128 kbps mean

    what does convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps mean?

    Some people, myself included, import their music from original audio CDs. When doing so I choose to import using Apple Lossless format so as to keep the full original quality of the audio CDs (this is after all why it is called Apple Lossless format in that you are not losing any quality).
    The drawback of doing this is that the music files take a lot more disk space than a lossy format like MP3 or AAC. This is these days not a problem on a computer as hard disk space is now cheap an plentiful but it can be a problem on a flash memory based music player like the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, or iPhone as these have far less capacity.
    Therefore Apple now let you turn on this option to automatically convert from Apple Lossless to AAC when syncing to one of these music players. As a result on your computer the music is still kept in the full lossless high quality format, but is converted and transferred as a much smaller but slightly lower quality for use on these music players. As with an iPod you are not listening in a quiet room with high quality speakers you will not really notice the difference in quality.

  • Sun Solaris 10,Upgrade 8 or higher,having issues with VxFS,for Oracle 11gr2

    A while ago, we tried doing a prototype upgrade of our main Oracle 10g db to Oracle 11gr2.
    The OS on which our Oracle 10g is running is Sun Solaris 10, upgrade 4.
    According to Oracle 11gr2 documentation, we need Sun Solaris 10, upgrade 6 or higher for Oracle 11g2.
    The filesystem we are using is VxFS, Veritas File System.
    According to our system administrator, we had issues , making Sun Solar 10, upgrade 8 , work with the VxFS filesystem.
    I was wondering if anybody is running Oracle 11g2 on Sun Solaris 10 upgrade 6 or higher with VxFS file system.
    At present, our Oracle db upgrade project is on a hold, because of the above issue. So your help on this , can really help us in figuring out if there is an issue between VxFS filesystem and Sun Solaris 10 OS.
    Thanks
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    We are not running Veritas Cluster file system.
    We tried moving our Oracle 10g r2 db on ZFS ,before doing the upgrade and performance on ZFS was worst.
    ZFS has certain memory parameter setting. If you did not configure that then ZFS will eat your complete system memory.
    My system administrator, has gotten a copy of Solaris 10 upgrade 9 and will try that with VxFS.
    I was curious to find out if folks are running Oracle 11g on Sun Solaris 10 with VxFS file system and if they had experienced any issue.If you can Install Vxfs on Oracle Soalris 10 U9, then according to me there sholudn't be any limitations for an oracle database.
    Recently i installed Oracle database 11.2.0.2 on one of my test server. I have created two databases - one on ZFS and another on ASM.
    Refer:
    http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/10/installation-of-11202-on-oracle-solaris.html
    We dont have any performance issues. We are testing it for the performance benchmarks on both of the filesystem.
    If you can Install Vxfs on Oracle Soalris 10 U9, then according to me there sholudn't be any limitations for an oracle database.

  • I just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina. Checked my OSX and it is version 10.8.1... trying to find a way to upgrade to a higher version. In the app store it doesnt show the update nor downloading the new Mountain Lion OXS doesnt work. Please help

    hienn,
    Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

  • Itunes want to upgrade songs that have been deleted.

    Itunes is offerning me the option to upgrade songs to iTunes Pluss. However some of these songs were deleted a long time ago.
    How do I remove any reference to previously purchased but now deleted songs
    Thanks
    Antony

    You can't. The iTunes Plus upgrade goes by the purchase history in the user's iTunes Store account, not by what's on the computer. Just don't select to upgrade those deleted songs.

  • I have an iPod touch 2nd gen. Can I upgrade to a higher gen w/o buying a new iPod touch?

    I have an IPod touch 2nd gen. Can I upgrade to a higher gen w/o buying another IPod touch? I have an iPhone4 which I love but don't want to get rid of the IPod touch.

    No but they usually have one every year. If I had know Id get a free ipod 2 years ago when I bought mine if I got a macbook I wouldve ditched the PC and purchased a macbook and got an ipod as well, it was more of a sarcastic remark and heads up for future possible promotions that seem to be routine, than an actual statement.
    PS: if your looking to upgrade and dont know what to do with your old one Id recommend recycle program apple has- 10%off purchase of a new one when you recycle old ipod touch with apple.

  • When I synch, a lot of songs have higher play counts than actual play. What to do to ensure integrity of play counts?

    When I synch my iPhone to my MAC, a lot of songs have higher play counts than actual. What can I do to ensure integrity of play counts?

    If you're talking about "regular" icloud, then setting it up should have no effect on your music.  Try syncing the device to iTunes and check the music settings and sync again.
    If you subscribe to iTunes Match, is the device in wifi range?

  • Discounted iphone upgrade at a higher price...

    does anyone know what the pricing is for people that do not qualify for a full discount, but are offered a discounted iphone upgrade at a higher price?

    It also depends on other factors such as how much you spend on your current plan and your payment history. Only AT&T can tell you what you qualify for.

  • Upgrade Costs Too High

    Does anyone else feel that the cost for upgrades is ridiculously highly?
    Adobe has a great product CS but over the past few versions, I have felt that the changes to the new versions don't warrant the $800 - 1000+ costs for the upgrades. Those prices are more warranted for new full versions, but upgrades for 1 or 2 versions back should be 1/4 of what they are charging.

    Thanks,
    I did post it on the link you provided.
    have a great day.

  • Hi, My i photo library is not opening up. What should I do? I have version 9.1 i photo 11. I dont want to upgrade to a higher version because I havent backed up m data.

    hi, My i photo library is not opening up when I click it. What should I do? I have version 9.1 i photo 11. I dont want to upgrade to a higher version because I havent backed up my data. Just need support on how to open it up.

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Music Skips Some Songs After Choosing "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps" Option

    I have so much music and choosing "convert to 128 Kbps" option makes it from 18 Gb to around 6 gbs but sometimes a few songs are ther

    "Convert" tends to be a confusing term. What iTunes does is make another copy of the track at the lower bit rate for transfer to the Shuffle. Your original, higher bitrate file remains untouched.
    Actually, iTunes converts the track on-the-fly while loading it on the shuffle. NO copy of the downconverted track is kept. The same process will occur IF you decide to delete the track from the shuffle and then happen to want to put it on the shuffle again.

  • "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" doesn't allow full fill

    Hi,
    The 128 kbps option does indeed shrink the size of the songs on my 3GS iPhone when using iTunes 9.1, but it won't let me fill it up it and complains that I have more music than can fit. I have been playing with this and for test purposes have 3 playlists. I am able to sync the first 2 and have >15GB free. I add the 3rd playlist which has only 8 GB in it and the sync fails saying that there isn't enough room. I have tried rebooting the iPhone and the Mac Pro both of which are on the latest version/service pack of their respective OS's.
    The only thing that I might have that is non-standard, is that some reasonable portion of my music is encoded at 320 kbps rather than 256 kbps.
    Anyone have any idea what is happening?
    --Jonathan

    Try redownloading iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes. It will show that you are still downloading/installing version 9.1.1 but it is build 12, instead of buill 11. This new build wasn't in Software Update but version 9.1.1 (11) had issues with this conversion to 128 kbps. Version 9.1.1 (12) fixes it.
