  • What is the current sampling rate for iTunes store purchases

    As a dinosaur, I still like getting my music on CD's (and, in fact, I still have quite an LP collection). But even CD's are becoming harder to come by these days and I have found that with the right sampling and codec (256KB/vbr AAC), my lossy compressed iPod music is audibly no different than the original CDs ...at least as far as my critical ears can tell. Which brings me to my question:
    What is the sampling and codec used for downloads from the iTunes Store? I have read in older posts ('05/'06) it is 128KB/AAC but then I recently read iTunes downloads will be non-DRM encoded and come in at 256KB/AAC.
    Appreciate any insght into this as I am really enjoying the "Record Store" on my desktop.
    Thanks,
    Stegasaurus

    All itunes music has been 256/ non drm for years now.

  • What is the maximum bit rate for a short NTSC standard def DVD?

    I have about 30 minutes of content from FCP that I want to put on a DVD.
    At first I tried iDVD and had problems with burning (although I did somehow make one DVD). So I built the project on DVD SP and made a DVD. However, the iDVD version looked much better. I checked out the file sizes and saw that there was 2 gigs on iDVD and only 1.6 DVD SP. Then I discovered the encoding options on DVD SP and I was curious what is the recommended average and maximum bit rate should be for the highest quality, yet still works in most DVD players?
    Thanks.

    The rate is not based on running time.
    Some thoughts on rates
    7.2 - 8.0 seems to be the general consensus for discs from computers. I play more conservative for the reasson listed in that link

  • Recording bit rate

    I have a friend who keeps talking about 16- and 24-bit recording.  I've also seen software that talks about "32-bit real".  I'm a real noob at this, but I'm assuming the more bits the greater resolution, like more pixels per inch on an image, and I'm assuming that the 32-bit real comes in after the software does some jiggery-pokery with the input data.
    We're planning to do some recording, and we're working out what computer to use.  I've done some searching, but so far I've been unable to determine what bit rate the Mac uses in recording straight in through the sound input.  I''m talking about a mike going straight in through the sound input and recording on something like Audacity or GarageBand.
    I have a white Intel iMac, c. 2006.  What's the native bit rate?  Does anybody know?  Also, is it any different for later models?
    TIA, Matt

    The digital noise is a factor of the number of bits. It is actually 6 * n, where n is the number of bits.
    So for an 8 bit signal, the noise is 48 dB down, about par for a cassette tape.
    16 bit is 96 dB down.
    24 bit is 144 dB down, which for all practical purposes, means that everything else (pre-amps, et al) are what affects the signal fidelity.

  • HT204406 how do I download higher bit rate songs from itunes match to replace the lower bit rate I have on my itunes library?

    I have itunes match and I have about 500 songs that were ripped at 128kbps. I have been tolf that I can replace them via itunes match to improve them to 256 or 320?
    I have put them into a playlist in my itunes library and I want to know how I can upgrade their bit rate via itunes match. Can anyone help me?

    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:

  • I am trying to load the 64 bit version of iTunes on to my PC but it continues to fail. My Pc is running Windows XP x64 edition. The rrror message states I need Window Vista 64 or later. What should I do?

    I am trying to load the 64 bit version of iTunes on to my PC but it continues to fail. My Pc is running Windows XP x64 edition. The rrror message states I need Window Vista 64 or later. What should I do?

    There is no version of iTunes that truly supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and never will be. If you search this forum for "XP 64" or do a web search for something like "iTunes Windows XP 64",  you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete.

  • After I download a 256 kbps song using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer at the higher bit rate once I turn ITunes Match off again?

    After I download a 256 kbps song from the cloud using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer once I turn ITunes Match off again? I have been using ITunes Match for awhile now to increase the bit rate on songs to 256 kbps.  Once I download the songs at the new bit rate, I turn off Match because I want to eliminate duplicates. Usually there is no problem. This time, however, 278 of my songs lost their file association and were unplayable unless I locate the song files within my computer.  These are songs purchased from Amazon.  In order to play them again in ITunes (Match is now off), I must locate each song file individually (I've tried to do it in bulk but have not succeeded) but now the bit rate has returned to the lower number BEFORE I matched the song.  I should have never used Match in the first place. Any ideas, anyone?

    I discovered that the NEW 256 bit file does reside on my computer, in the ITunes files (My Music/ITunes/ITunes Media/Music.  So I can bring the songs back as 256 kbps, and I have been successful now at locating more than one file at a time, by clicking on the "find other missing files" tab in the popup window.  Previously, I'd been going back to my Amazon files, and not only was I unable to bring back a 256 version, but the popup window would not locate similar files.  So while I wish ITunes Match would automatically associate the ITunes Match file, at least I can retrive the file association without hours and hours of work.

  • I plug in my iPhone and this message showed. "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes." I did this but still not working. Please advise

    I have a problem with connecting my iPhone to iTunes. I uninstalled one of the computer program and restart my laptop. After restart my laptop and a message said that iTunes might not working because one of the component is missing and request to reinstall the iTunes. Hence I remove iTunes from my laptop and I reinstall iTunes to my laptop but still not working.
    Before this the iTunes will automatically launch when I plug in my iPhone. But after I reinstall iTunes, it's not working. When I try to plug in my iPhone after iTunes launched and message "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes." popped out. I did this twice but it's not working as well.
    Please advise what should I do to fix this.

    First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
    Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
    I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
    Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I was told to uninstall then reinstall itunes because "no apple application support"so i did, now wont recognise my iphone and says to uninstall itunes and instll the 64-bit version of itunes so i did again,and again,and again.still wont work pls help me?

    I was told to uninstall then reinstall itunes because "no apple application support", so i did, now it wont recognise my iphone and says to unistall+install the 64-bit version of itunes so i did, again..and again..still nothing please help me?!

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • HT204406 Please help!  I have downloaded the 64 bit version of iTunes for my Sony running WIndows 8.  I have iTunes running on 3 other machines (MACs) with no issue.  On the Sony with WIndowns everytime I turn on ITunes Match WIndows fails, everything shu

    I Have downloaded the 64 bit version of iTunes for my Sony running Windows 8.  Install went fine and I can get in to iTunes and see the music residing on this machine.  However, everytime that I try to run iTunes Match Windows crashes.  So frustrating.  BTW, this worked fine until a couple of weeks ago.  Anyone know what's going on?

    How big is your library?  I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
    - Backup your library.  Always a good idea before messing with things.  
    - Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.  This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one.  Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
    - Add a few albums into this new library.  Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
    - Activate Match on this new library.  You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
    - At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
    If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.   

  • HELP! My iPhone 5 was working fine, but when I went to connect to iTunes this evening, it said it couldn't be used with this iPhone and I needed to download the 64 bit version of iTunes! IT IS the 64 bit version! I can't get it to recognize my phone!!

    This IS the 64 bit version of iTunes! It won't recognize my phone! I've reinstalled iTunes, restarted both the computer and the phone, and still can't fix it!

    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.

  • TS1368 Where do I get the 64 bit version of iTunes?

    How do i get the 64 bit version of iTunes?

    If you go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ the website detects the type of computer you are connecting from and automatically shows you what it believe is the correct choice, so a Mac sees initially the Mac download, and a PC running 64-bit Windows will see the choice set to iTunes for Windows 64-bit and so on.
    However for your benefit here is the direct download for the 64-bit version
    64-bit Windows iTunes 10.7 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1577
