Uploading .wav file from ITunes to IPod as mp3

All the cd's I have added to Itunes are in the .wav format to achieve highest quality for playing on my pc or other external systems. I would like to download these file to my Ipod as MP3, but cannot seem to find a way to download and convert without changing the format in my library before I send the files to the Ipod which would leave me with a library of MP3 files.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

I have iTunes set to not update almost all podcasts, because I want the kind of control you're asking for.
To get episodes onto my iPod I drag the ones I want into a playlist that is set to update on the iPod. That way I get exactly the episodes I want, in the order I want them. Essentially, each one of those playlists is radio magazine made out of exactly what I want to listen to, and I don't have to mess with the iPod controls while I'm walking.

  • Updating music files from itunes to ipod

    hi,
    i'm having troubles with my 4gb nano.
    i'm using manually manage my files.
    i've dragged and dropped music files from itunes to ipod.
    but when i change the id3 tags of those files in itunes, then "update my ipod" from the file menu,
    it does not update (with the names, details etc) of those same files onto my ipod.
    is this meant to be?
    do i have to manually drag the "new" detailed music files again?
    thanks for the help

    OK so let me ask the basic question you failed to include in your post.
    First question is how is your iPod set up with respect to syncing with iTunes? Is it set up to auto sync everything, auto sync only specific playlists, or is it set up to manually manage ?
    Let's start with that and go from there.

  • Why are .wav files from iTunes so small?

    I'm pretty new to iTunes. The experience has been spoiled by the following problem I have.
    On my import options (i.e., Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Importing), I have set:
    import using: WAV encoder
    custom setting: 44.1kHz, 16-bit
    This should be CD-quality CD. As such, each minute should take about 11 MBytes or so. (That's how my wav files ripped from audio CD are). Well I just downloaded Candlebox's Far Behind which is about 5 minutes long, and for some reason it only takes 5 Mbytes on my hard drive. Savings space on my hard drive is of little importance to me. What I really want is top lossless quality. And I have a superfast connection, so that's not an issue either.
    So what's going on here?
    Are these settings not for downloading, but rather for ripping music from audio CDs I already have, or what?
    Thanx.

    The import setting is for CDs you already have or if you had WMA files and were converting them into iTunes. Downloads off the net are almost always in MP3 format and songs bought off iTunes are in the AAC format (A compressed format just like MP3). I wouldn't worry about it much. If there songs you bought on iTUnes, AAC is a very good sound format and (Far as I know) are just like CD quality
    I have bought one or 2 albums in a store on CD and off iTunes in ther AAC format and I can not tell a diff in neither

  • Importing sound files from itunes to ipod

    I have used office for mac word notebook to record lecture audio, and then exported the sound file (.mp4) into itunes without any hassles. However, I haven't been able to drag them into my ipod when it's connected - any suggestions how I can do this?

  • Trouble syncing video files from Itunes to Ipod

    I've downloaded a few videos through the iTunes store and they play through iTunes with no problem but when I sync to my new 32GB iPod Touch, I get the following message:
    "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "[name of video]", were not copied to the iPod "DC iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod."
    On a previous thread about this issue ive seen that apparantly Ipods are unable to take 'HD' video, anybody able to tell me how to take the video out of HD because ive spent £20 on the 'Glory Daze' series and uploaded the new IOS server in hope of working but at the moment its just looking like a waste of £20

    It's probably a good idea to update your iTunes. However, you should be able to get an SD copy of the same TV Show.  Try right-> clicking on the show in iTunes and looking for an option related to downloading or using the SD version.
    Anything there?

  • Why can't I transfer 24 bit m4a files from iTunes to iPod?

    Im trying to transfer, what was originally a FLAC and is now converted to m4a, to my ipod touch 5 in iTunes. It transferred to iTunes just fine, but when I drag the album up to the top right corner of the iTunes window where my iPod shows up when its plugged in, it just doesn't copy ANY of the files in the album. No error messege or anything, it simply just doesn't even transfer it.

    iTunes is quite good at failing silently if it doesn't want to do what it is asked. It doesn't say so explicitly here - http://www.apple.com/uk/ipod-touch/specs.html - but I suspect that there might be a limitation to 16-bit audio on Apple's devices. Wrong, seems the issue is more likely to be the sample rate. See this old post.

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

  • Music wont upload from iTunes to iPod

    When I try and upload songs from itunes to ipod all i get is a message saying "songs on the ipod "IPOD" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist". Can somebody please offer some advise on what I should be doing to solve this.

  • Placing 24/192 WAV files on iTunes for playback through Wadia 170 iTranspor

    I record live music on a Sound Devices 722 digital audio recorder at 24/192 as WAV files. I can import the 24/192 WAV file into iTunes on a Mac and the bit rate is displayed as 9216 kps. This makes sense since 24x192=9216. When I click on the song in iTunes it plays back at the correct tempo.
    I bought a Wadia 170 iTransport since it says it will output bit perfect digital files. I'd love to hear my recordings this way over my sound system. I understand that this would chew up drive space real fast on an iPod. However . . .
    I can't get my iPod to accept the 9216 kps song files. I went to set iTunes / Preferences / Advanced / Importing to WAV but the options for sample rate only go up to 48.0 kps and the bit rate up to 16-bit.
    Any thoughts or suggestions on how to overcome this will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
    The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
    Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
    Anyway, thank you,
    Chris

  • Uploading new files to iTunes U suddenly not working

    One of the instructors I support has been uploading mp3 files to iTunes U all semester. Suddenly, he can't upload. He starts it, and it says it is finished, but the Upload progress bar never goes away and his new file is never added to the list of files. I can upload just fine to his shell from my machine. We are using the same version of iTunes (7.6.0.29). What can I do to help him?

    Same prof had the same problem, so I went over to his office this morning. He stepped through the process, opened it in Audacity, saved it as an Audacity project, and exported it to MP3. During upload, it still reached the end showing the filesize uploaded and the total filesize and hung there without finishing. Like your experience, it has worked in the past. I showed him how to drag the WAV file into iTunes and convert it to MP3, edit the metadata in Info and upload that file. That worked like a charm. At this point, I'm recommending going through iTunes if there's no editing. But the question remains, why is this happening?

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!
    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Recover deleted songs from iTunes using iPod

    I will preface by saying, I am an idiot, so please phrase your answers like you're talking to a 10 year old. I have a new Mac (my first) and I had iTunes all set up and working correctly until somehow I deleted a folder with half my music in it. It is all on my iPod, however. How do I get it from my iPod back into iTunes? There is some SINCERE gratitude here for anyone who can help.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you can use a keyboard command to prevent it auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
    Change your update setting to manual so that you can use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article:: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    iPodRip Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    iPodAccess Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    PodUtil Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are relatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Can't get new music from iTunes to iPod

    I currently have an iPod Touch.  Have downloaded the most current iTunes.  Have the latest software update for the iPod.  For numbers sake, I have 75 songs on the computer iTunes, 300 on the iPod.  Want to get music and playlists from iTunes onto iPod.  Have repeatedly tried syncing to no avail.  I don't want to erase everything off the iPod in order to do so.  Likewise, how the heck do I get the extra 225 songs from the iPod onto my iTunes??  All of the trouble started when I 1) added an iPhone into the mix and had multiple devices involved and 2) did the most recent iTunes update (which I HATE!!!!)
    So how the heck do I do this??  I do not have a 7 year old in the household to tell me how to do this. 

    Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

    Hope this helps.

  • Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod

    Problems Moving Ripped DVD from Itunes to Ipod
    I am having a problem transfering ripped DVD's from the Itunes Video folder to the actual Ipod. I thought one of the cool points of the Video Ipod was that you could play DVD's on it. I know I needed to use special software to achieve this since I researched it here. I am using Handbrake Lite since regular Handbrake look too daunting for me. I also used Isquint, since it was recommened here. I used both without changing anything on both of those progams other than click the go button. The DVD's will play in Itunes but it won't allow me to drag them to the Ipod. They are in the Video folder in Itunes. What in the wild, wild world of sports am I do'in wrong? I assume it's something stupid because the device is stellar. Hope someone out there can lend us a hand.
    Kind Regards,
