What's the fastest speed while importing?

I'm importing CDs now at most 6.4x. I seem to remember importing at speeds of above 10x. Is my memory serving me right or why is there such a decrease in import times?

If you've changed your import settings in iTunes, this could have a lot to do with the speed. WAV and AIFF are the fastest, since there is no lossy compression being done during the ripping process. Apple Lossless is reasonable fast, and the iTunes AAC and MP3 encoders are quite slow.

  • What is the fastest speed for syncing ebooks through itunes

    I have my iTunes set to AAC 256 kbps?  Is this the fastest setting?  I have it set to Manually Manage the downloads.  Some books are MP3 and some are WMA.  The MP3 went fast.  The WMA are taking several minutes per Part -- it may take an hour or more to sync a book from  my pc to my ipod Nano 4th generation.

    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • What is the fastest speed your AX achieves?

    I'm curious to learn what others are experiencing.

    Hello again,
    I tried the link you provided and sadly under New Jersey the links are not working. The results I posted in your other thread were based of the test used in the Alan's post.
    Give this test a shot and post your results. There several locations provided so hopefully you can find one local to you.
    Here it is: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
    My results using the New York location gave me 7.2 MBPS down and 692 KBPS up. These are similar to Alan's results. I'll check some other sites and see how it compares. Good luck.

  • IMovie: whats the fastest way to import and save all original media?

    Good afternoon. Ok I need help please. Is there a way to simply take all the imported original media and just save it all in one fell swoop? Rather than having to import and then process/export clip by clip.
    I thought I had a quicker way just grabbing all the original media from the imported camera (right clicking imovie library > show package contents > original media) untill I tried to play one of the original media files - no sound and it was mov file. I assume mp4 is better???
    I have 2800 hours of video I need to import off my camera. I don't need to modify them at all, aside from the occasional combining of clips into one movie. So I need the fastest way. Importing and then exporting clip by clip will take me forever. I would prefer to just import and then just drag all 50 clips or so into my movies folder. But as stated above that does not seem to work as expected unless I'm missing a step.
    Thank you!

    ps Can I take the original media files (mov format) and batch convert them using handbrake or MPEG streamclip? And if so would the resulting videos then have sound? And which is the best format (container codec whatever) to export them to? Thanks!

  • I have an ipad 2 and when connected to my wifi at home it will not download and play you tube videos quickly.  Do I need to upgrade my connenction speed?  What is the optimal speed?

    I have an ipad2.  When connected to my wifi at home it will not download you tube videos for easy viewing.  Do I need to upgrade my connection speed?  Would 3 Mbps be enought or do I need to go to 6 Mbps.  I mainly use my ipad to view emails, browse the internet and watch you tube videos.
    thanks - Michelle

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    There are a number of factors in the 'speed' equation. Any or all of them can affect the 'observed' speed of your connection.
    1. Are you in a neighborhood full of WiFi routers (and thus, lots of WiFi interference)? I can 'see' at least 22 other WiFi routers from my living room!
    2. What is the maximum connect speed and band and bandwidth available from your wireless router. Is it 802.11n or the older 802.11a/b/g? 300Mbits or 150Mbits? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz or both? Does your router measure (QoS) Quality of Service and can it change 'channels' automatically?
    3. What is the observed strength of your wireless connection? Are you getting at least 80% signal when connected? Are there other people in your family also using significant bandwidth at the same time (Netflix, streaming video, streaming audio, game systems)
    4. What is the "advertised" speed of your current ISP connection?
    5. What is the measured throughput of your current setup.  Go to speedtest.net or use the free speedtest.net app available in the App Store.  Try several times, from different locations in your home, and at different times of day and night.
    I have AT&T DSL advertised at 3Mbit/sec down and 512Kbit/sec up. My Speedtest.net measured throughput is about 2.4 Mbit/sec downstream and upstream is about 0.4Mbit/sec. I'm using a Motorola Netopia 2210-2 DSL modem. I have no problem viewing YouTube videos and other mobile video content on the iPad 2.  I'm connected wirelessly to a D-Link DIR-655 Gigabit router rated at 150Mbps at 2.4Ghz (only) with 802.11 b/g/n enabled. The interior of my home is within a range of 30-50 feet from the router and no more than 1 wall.  It is a single level concrete slab foundation of about 1500 sq. ft. with cathedral ceilings. I have successfully streamed ESPN3.com on my MacBook at the same time my son was streaming another ESPN3.com game on his MacBook Pro. I've streamed YouTube videos while my son was watching a NetFlix movie on his Wii game system. He's also successfully used Skype for extended 'teleconferences.' None of my devices are connected to HDMI on a large screen TV. 95% of the time, I can do iChat video without any signal breakup to my son (who is at a college with a Gigabit (1000Mbit) wired connection!). 5% of the time the connection drops. We haven't tried FaceTime (designed for mobile connections to be much less bandwidth-intensive, from what I understand) simply because we both have iChat on our computers.
    So for me, a 3Mbit DSL connection is absolutely adequate, given all the other parameters mentioned. As the car manufacturers say, "Your mileage may vary."

  • What is the fastest CPU I could put in Satellite Pro L20

    This is a desperate request for help!!
    The Football Manager 2010 is coming out soon and my laptop needs to be up to scratch.
    I know I need to upgrade it because Football Manager 2009 nearly killed it!
    At the moment I have 1.4ghz Intel Celeron M chip and 704mb of ram.
    What is the fastest chip I could put in? I've done a bit of research and found I can only have 2gb of ram
    The laptop is in perfect working order so I don't want to buy a new one just for the sake of it and its served me well over the last 4 years - I've dropped it enough times! Just need to speed it up a bit!

    Hmm... Do you really want to upgrade the pretty old Satellite Pro L20? I mean new notebooks are not so expensive anymore and I doubt that you will get a strong performance boost with new CPU.
    Anyway, in your notebook is only the preinstalled CPU pretested and nobody is able to say what other CPUs will run. But you should look on the specifications for other Satellite Pro L20 notebooks. If another L20 is equipped with faster CPU, it should also work in yours. You can try it but in worst case it will not work.
    Good luck!

  • What's the fastest way to change IP addresses in a Project?

    Hi folks,
    I'm using a cFP2100 controller with LabVIEW 8.2.1.  I made a project using a configuration I created in MAX.  Now I've moved the whole bank of modules to a new location, and the controller now has a new IP address via DHCP.  My question is, what's the fastest way to update the IP address for my project?  Do I have to make a brand new project with a new .iak file that has the new IP address?  I'm thinking there's got to be an easier way.
    Thanks!
    Eric

    Hi Eric,
    Since you are getting your IP address from a DHCP server, the IP address of your Fieldpoint device is ultimately dependant on the server.  If your IP address changes, you have two choices.   You can right click your target and go to properties.  In the properties under the general category, you can change the IP address of the target.  The second option is to import a new IAK file into your project by right clicking the Project Name and going to import>>iak file. 
    I hope this helps,
    Regards,

    oracle have any any check after installation all installation are correct according to no of directory, files and file size ?
    regards

    Hi user;
    what are the common error while EBS R12 installation with os unix and windows.AFAIK there is no document which show common error.There are some common error for installation like:
    RW-5004- RW-50010 etc.
    For error we have to check instalaltion log files for can get more details about it
    oracle have any any check after installation all installation are correct according to no of directory, files and file size ?Oracle has 2 checking mechanisim during installation.
    1. Before start installation, rapidwiz makes Validate system Configuration check which is checking port avaliability,file system check etc.
    2. End of the installation,rapidwiz makes Validate system Configuration again to check jsp,dbc file, db avaliablity etc..
    For more details Please check:

  • What is the fastest way of getting data?

    With a scanning electron microscope, I need to scan a 512*512 pixel area with a pixel repetition of 15000 (two channels), meaning averaging over 15000 measurements. Simultaneously I have to adjust the voltage output for every pixel.
    I am using a 6111E Multifunction I/O board in a 800MHz P3. The whole task has do be done as fast as possible (not more than 20 minutes altogether).
    What is the fastest way to get this huge amount of data with averaging and output in between? (E.g. do I use buffered read with hardware triggering or is there a faster way?)

    Using the NI-DAQ API (not LabView) will give you a significant amount of more control over what happens and when to the data stream; which translates to a more efficient program. But you need to program in C/C++ or Delphi then. The Measurement Studio provides ActiveX controls that are like the LabView ones for C&C++ (they�re slow like the LabView ones though � not a lot you can do about the Windows GDI).
    What are you trying to sample 15000 times? The 512*512 pixel field?
    That�s almost 15Gigs of data! And it means you need to process data at 12.8MB/s to finish it in 20 minutes. I hope you know C, x86 assembly and MMX.
    I would setup a huge circular buffer (NI-DAQ calls them �double buffers�), about 30 seconds worth or so, to use with SCAN_Start. Then I would proces
    s the actual buffer the card is DMA�ing the data into with a high priority thread. Progressively sum the scan values from the 16bit buffer (the samples are only 12 bit, but the buffer should still be 16bits wide) into a secondary buffer of DWORDs the size of the screen (512*512), and you�ll need two of those, one for each channel. Once the 15000 scans are complete, convert each entry into a float divide by 15000.0f, and store it in a third buffer of floats.
    If you wish to contract this out, send me an email at [email protected]

  • What's the maximum speed that AirPort Extreme can share with Wifi?

    The thing is that I am going to buy a new Wifi Router, but I was considering an AirPort Extreme from Apple but is not specify what's the maximum speed of Internet connection for the Wifi to share, I know that the limit might depend on my service provider, but I don't know what is the theoretical maximum of the AirPort Extreme, does anybody knows?

    1,000 Mbps on an Ethernet connection
    450 Mbps on a wireless connection, assuming you have a new computer and it has line of sight with the AirPort Extreme. Otherwise, the speed will be lower due to obstructions absorbing the signal.

    pls advice

    Hi Ester,
    Haven't got clearly what you written.
    You mean to say, there is modifications done to query for updation?

  • What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)

    What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)
    I'm a tech junkie, I love everything about technology.. especially FAST and EFFICIENT technology..
    I am currently using Google Chrome, and have nothing bad so say about it.. I like that I can "sign in" to Google Chrome pretty much anywhere (including my iPhone 5s), and instantly have access to all of my Bookmarks and Bookmark folders..
    I have seen a bunch of benchmark tests testing a bunch of available internet browsers on OSX.. however, the results seem a bit inconclusive and varying, and some that even support the notion that Safari is now FASTER than Google Chrome.. I'm not sure whether or not to believe it, and I don't really have the time/energy to conduct a series of tests on my own..
    What do you guys think? Is Google Chrome still considered the "fastest" when it comes to browsing/downloading?

    Has anyone used or have any opinions about Lightning?  I found some positive reviews around, and granted they all mention it's unrefined, they all seem to think it is the fastest.  Great as that may be, before I fork out the $2 I would like to get some more info regarding privacy and security.
