Where to get short background music files

Hi,
I like some of the music that comes with the standard themes in iDVD 6, however, I'm looking for a greater selection to include with my slideshows. Can anyone point me to a source on the net, preferably free?

I dont know of any free sites, but if you have soundtrack you can create your own royalty-free music whatever length you like. Also, QT Pro will allow you to edit music for your DVD's as well.

Where can I get more background music for my Captivates videos??

for free of course...

Hi There,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can download some of the background music from http://www.last.fm/music/+free-music-downloads/background and in order to get more you can look for them from search engines.
Thanks

Attaching the background music file to the clips

Hello! I'm not sure if I can do this with iMovie but I hope so!
I have made a video that consists of a large number of short clips and I have set it to music. What I want to do now is rearrange those clips but keep the music that is playing with each clip. So when the new video gets played the music will be all shuffled up.
For an example: let's say I have four clips in my movie and they are, in order, A, B, C and D. The music playing the background is "I'm a little teapot". During clip A the lyric "I'm a little teapot" plays. During clip B "short and stout" plays and during clip C "here is my handle" plays and in clip D "here is my spout". What I want to do is reorder those four clips so the movie plays them as B, D, C and A and keeps the music linked to each clip. So, when watching the new video, you hear "short and stout here is my spout here is my handle i'm a little teapot."
Is that possible? Can you link the background music to the individual clips in this way? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There are a couple of ways to do this.
1) In iMovie, drag the music clip from the media browser into the project and drop it on the first clip.
Adjust the rear handle so it only plays during the first clip. Then drag in the same music clip from the media browser to the second clip. Drag the front handle to the right so that it starts playing where the other one left off. Drag the back handle to the left until it only covers one clip. Repeat until done.
2) If you know the length of your clips, use Garageband to create a series of short audio clips that are the exact length you need for each clip. Then drag and drop on the iMovie clips.

How can I get the background music from iMovie trailer, "Romance"to be used in another imovie?

Is there any way to download the background music from the iMovie trailer template "Romance" to be used in another iMovie of greater length than that of a trailer?

In addition to Tom's good advice, another method is to access the audio file in iMovie's package contents folder.
In Finder, in the Applications folder, right-click (or control-click) on iMovie.app and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. Open the folder Contents>Resources. In that folder you will find components for each Trailer, including the soundtrack. The file you are seeking is named "SoundTrack - Romance.m4a".
Copy then paste the file to your Desktop (don't otherwise mess with items in package contents folders!). Open the file in QuickTime - it is titled "Love Story FC2". Opening the Inspector in QuickTime (Window>Show Movie Inspector) reveals it as AAC format. If you wish, as Tom indicated, you can Export the file from QuickTime in other sound formats, such as AIFF. If preferred, you can import either the AAC file or the converted file to iTunes (or other audio apps) for use as required.

How do I find and save the background music file of my Flash site?

I see that the background music in my Flash site is located in a symbol called muz. When I click the properties of this symbol, the sound file's location is listed as .\flash\sound\muz.wav I couldn't find that sound sub-folder in the flash folder nor could I find the file. I tried doing a search to look for the muz.wav file in my computer but it could not be found. Does anyone know how I can find and save this file? Can the symbol somehow be exported and the sound file be extracted that way?

I copied and pasted the symbol into an empty .fla file. This new .fla file is just 1 frame. Can you tell me what you mean by "spreading" it along the timeline? When I tried exporting it to a .wav file (as just 1 frame in timeline), I only hear a fraction of a fraction of the first note of the music in the generated .wav file. The music is heard fine in its entirety when previewing the .fla file (F12).
By the way, in the symbol's properties, there is an option to "Export for ActionScript" and an option to "Export for runtime sharing". Do you think any of these would work?

Has there been any change in FF21 and newer regarding background music file playing?

Access this URL : http://www.mamarocks.com/cats.htm in FF20 lets the background music associated with it play. However, accessing the same URL in FF21 and newer results with the webpage being displayed but the music associated with it does not play. Microsoft Windows Media Player plugin is installed but is not selectable from the file type play selection. The Quicktime Player plugin is also installed. Selecting that or Windows Media Player to handle midi files has no effect on the behavior. I don't believe the plugins are at fault but rather something in how Firefox handles background file use that has changed.
I have done searches on the Internet and found numerous reports of this problem. Please look for yourself and decide if there is a problem or at least tell us how to fix this situation.

That is a midi file (Content-Type: audio/mid), so you need a plugin that can handle this MIME type (see the about:plugins page).

Where to get Reader 9 MSI-file for deployment?

Hu all,
where can I get the fitting MSI file for deploying Reader 9?
There's only the EXE file from Adobe to get.
Please help.
Regards
Davorin

Well, Adobe support has answered that is an issue of free software and thus not supported.
Great!
But I think I found a solution by myself:
After installation there's a directory:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Setup Files
where a msi file is located.
I will try to copy the whole dir and test, if this is enough for deployment.

Finder Get Info on music file shows comma in Year Recorded

Has anyone else seen this?
If you Get Info on a music file in the Finder I'll see the Year Recorded as "Year Recorded: 2,009" or whatever year. Does anyone have any idea why?
10.5.8
iTunes 9

I see the same thing. seems to be a minor bug. you can submit a bug report if you wish but since this bug is not present in snow leopard it is extremely unlikely that anything will be done about it.

Import error very short duration music file

When I use i-tunes to import from any music CD the files created are much too short and small. The maximum play time of any one file is no more than 25 seconds and the file size is small also. Other features of i-tunes that provide songs work fine such as music store download or importing other music files from the hard drive. Other programs on the computer related to ripping CD's work fine and all related hardware/software is updated and running w/compatibility.
If anyone has answers they would be very appreciated.
Thanks

I'm no help here, but I am having the exact same problem with a Toshiba Tablet. CD import has not worked for me with iTunes 5 or iTunes 6 over the last month (works in Media Player). I am not sure if this problem started when I upgraded to version 5 (and then to 6) or if it started when my system crashed while I was using iTunes.
I am trying to relocate a version 4 install to see if reverting back to that version fixes the problem.
I hope someone can respond with a solution.
(Incidentally, running CD diagnostics in version 6 produces a report with the correct diagnostic information for the CD - so the diagnostic program recognizes the CD properly, just not the music import.)

How can I get all my music files into my itunes folder?

I have tons of music scattered all over my computer in different locations, I want to put all the music in my itunes folder- C:\Documents and Settings\David\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
The problem is, is when I move the music to my itunes folder the music I move does not play in itunes. So how can I do this
Thanks

Don't move files manually! That indeed causes iTunes to lose track. Use the command Advanced > Consolidate Library. Before you begin, read up on Consoidate in the Help file so you understand what it does.
When you are done consolidating, you can delete the extras if you wish.

Where to get short USB cable?

I would like to find a 0.5m USB A-to-mini cable to match my 0.5 Apple FireWire cable. White, black or gray doesn't matter. Just need them to be the same length. Any lead or direction is welcome. Thanks!

You might consider a retractable cable. You can make it any length you want (up to its maximum, of course) and it would pack away rather nicely. I almost exclusively use retractable cables just so I don't have to worry about a tangled mess in my laptop bag. You can get one from almost any online merchant that sells computer accessories (e.g. Amazon.com, Buy.com).

Where are the Music Files for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2?

I wanted to get the soundtrack from the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 files using WinRar, and when I went into my Local Disk (c, and pressed program files. Then went to the folder entitled UbiSoft I pressed the GRAW2 folder. I then pressed the data folder, and there are three folders in there movies, settings, and sound. I pressed the sound folder thinking the music would be in there, but it was empty and so is the settings folder. So where did they store the music files for the game?

Its probably compressed into one big file and decompressed on the fly.

HT1848 How do I get music files from my iphone that were priviously synced back to the cloud?

Previously my Iphone was synced with a cable and all my music files and apps were synced. Now that Icloud is synced wirelessly, only purchased music is synced back to the cloud. How do I get my other music files and apps exported to the cloud or to my computer?

Robert...
You can delete songs directly from the iPhone.
Tap the Music tab in the Dock.
Now swipe to the left or right once. You should see a red delete button.

Itunes Music Files Lost

I recently bought a new PC. I had already copied all my files and folders from my old pc, including itunes, to a backup hard drive. When I copied back all my files to the new PC, all the files were there, except the itunes music. The library is there, but the music files are not. When I click on a song in the library I get an error saying that "The song cannot be used because the original file is not found, do you wish to locate it?". Now, I've read a number of forums saying that iTunes is prone to moving music when you change to a new system set up, and is not very good at finding it. However, I've searched high and low using the search tools in vista and I am fairly certain that the songs are not there. I have done the same searches in my backup drive and they are not there also. What could have happened?
I should point out that none of my music is purchased from Itunes, it is my entire CD collection of 2500+ songs which was ripped into itunes. It seems that apple is happy to suggest solutions for 'lost' music if you purchased from itunes, but there is little or no support for people who are using itunes to organise and hold a cd collection.
To make matters worse, I connected my Ipod to itunes without realising the songs were missing and now I have lost all the music from my Ipod as well.
I know that I have probably been stupid and done something wrong, but Itunes does not seem to be particularly user-friendly when it comes to moving it's files and folders from one Windows device to another. I have a strong feeling that I am going to have to start all over again, unless anyone can offer me some advice on how to get my old music files back?

wow i am in the middle of a very similar situation. i bought a new computer...had the store burn all itunes songs onto a disk, from old computer. put disk into new computer drive and downloaded all songs. now, they are all showing on my new computer harddrive but they won't play on itunes. when i click on a song, itunes comes up but nothing happens. i have done everything that the itunes online customer service dept can tell me to do. nothing is wrong with my new computer, the cd/dvd drive...the drivers, nothing. my new computer is now authorized with my itunes account. all of our ipods are now authorized with the new computer. the store where i got new computer says maybe the songs are licensed with my old computer. he says its all about where they were oribinally licensed. i have had it...spent HOURS trying to figure this out.
