Why do I need multiple CDs?

Here's the situation: I have a playlist that should fit on one CD. iTunes tells me it's 11 songs, 44 minutes, 60 MB. They're all mp3s. But, when I go to burn a CD, it tells me the playlist won't fit on one CD and that I need to use multiple CDs. Any ideas why this is happening?
I should mention that the CD consists of a concerto movement, and then several different edited (trimmed) versions of that movement so I can skip directly to those moments in a classroom. Does that have anything to do with it? I've done this exact same thing before and never had this problem, though.
Thanks for any help!

As a teacher, you may not be able to spare $30 for a Quicktime Pro key, but you could use Quicktime Pro to convert the mp3 files to aiff, then burn all those to CD. No guarentee this would solve the problem, but it's the first thing I would try if it were me.
There used to be a great free format conversion utility called SoundApp, but I can't find anywhere anymore. Maybe there's something else out there you can find on versiontracker.com
An inelegant approach to try would be to burn the MP3s to several discs as iTunes insists. Then IMPORT the aiff files from those discs back into iTunes, create a playlist, and REburn it as one disc, if it will let you.
How or where did the trimmed/edited versions of the files come from? Are you using iTunes to set the Start and Stop times on the songs? (Select the song, type "Command - I" then switch to Options and key in start and stop times....)
A shot in the dark guess as to why the mp3s won't fit: Maybe the files are ultra compressed and when iTunes converts them to the less compressed aiff format for CDs, the file size is too big. I have no idea why this would be, but that's the nature of shot in the dark guesses.
Good luck.

ITunes says I must use multiple CDs for a 40MB file

The subject says it all. I have a mono audio file that is 43mb. When I try to burn it in iTunes it insists that it needs multiple CDs. This is impossible. A CD can hold 600+MB. I assumed it was a false message, but true to its word it only burned about two-thirds of the file. The playtime is around 3 hours, but that does not matter. Forty-three MB is 43MB. Can anyone tell me how to burn audio files without using rinky-**** software like iTunes? Maybe use Toast? iTunes 7.2, OS 10.3.9
Thanks in advance,
Mguilfoile

Thanks for your help; I'll convert it to an MP3 and I'll be good to go!
I'm curious as to why a 43MB file balloons to what must be 1gig when iTunes saves it? The disk does not know what the data are, it just sees a series of 1s and 0s. An analogy can be made with photography. Certainly only two, 300mb photographs can fit on a CD. It does not matter if they are 5M x 5M or 5cm x 5cm for a print size. All that matters is the digital size. Conversely, you can fit 600 1mb photos on a CD, again, regardless of the print size.
Similarly, the amount of time an audio file will fit on a CD must also be inversely proportional to its digital size. If the audio has a low enough bit rate it three hours should fit easily on a CD. I don't recall what mine was, but 3 hours at 43mb must be a pretty low rate.
Consequently, iTunes must be inflating its files by almost 20 times the file's original size! I find this type of wasteful formating to be incredibly stupid. What is Apple thinking?
Thanks again,

Archiving cds and why do i need id3 tags

here comes another one of those questions looking at which codec to use to store music.....i also have tag questions.....
i'm about to (re-)rip my cd collection and looking at some info re codecs and id3 tags
now.....i believe i understand the benefits of alac (lower file sizes, keeping id3 tags, lossless compression) v wav(no compression)
however (and for some out there) if we just entertain the fact that wav may have some minute benefit for me depending on my questions and answers given.....and yes i know wav and alac will sound the same to the human ear - i accept that as a given of lossless compression ......
points i'd like to outline:
i am looking to rip my cds, firstly and mostly, for an archiving purpose!! purpose numero uno!!
i could well want to re-create cds with these archived records in the future
size of files is of no concern to me at all
i'm using a mac nowadays
i will convert most of these files, where needed, to use with a portable music player (i'm not bothered with having, say a wav file and then also converting and having an alac file, as crazy as that sounds)
this is where i ask for info re the benefits of embedded tags that are found in alac:
are these tags that important?
where do they come into play in ripping and later converting music?
are these uses just bells and whistles that have no benefit to my needs?
if i rip cds to wav (or aiff), say, using itunes, will cd info and track listings be available on the downloading database (eg itunes) to name these wav files?
if i then ensure these song files are kept under the album's folder, have i just done what tags do? surely not. that is all i have needed in the past.
this is where i feel i may be really missing what id tags (can) do
are tags more than just managing song files and where they belong and where they have come from?
is it just a convenience of not personally managing your song files (as per previous paragraph)?
(in the past i had ripped cds to mp3 codec. i think i used "cd rip" or something like that on my pc.
my mp3 files were individually named and sorted and kept under album folders under artist name folders.
apart form the very odd occasion all track and album info i needed was found on a database that was attached to the ripping software.
i never had a problem managing/maintaining these files and folders.)
i welcome some enlightenment on some of my questions above and other info that may be relevant
and yes, i understand that music will sound the same as a wav file or alac file - but humour me re using wav and tell me why i need id3 tags
i guess the crux of it is:
why do i need id3 tags?
does my managing of my song file in the album folder do what tags do?
what problems/shortcomings/headaches may i encounter by not having those tags if i use wav as opposed to alac?
what do i not know about these little buggers?
what codec is best for my purpose of archiving and re creating of cds (for playing in cd players)
thanks in advance for your input and any clarity that i may experience through this

as mentioned earlier if i just have songs (wav) in album folders, when i import these albums into itunes, do you know if these will come up under AN album with their file names purely using my filename setup (but with no artwork)?
Yes, iTunes will read the filename, such as "Track 1" or something else and display it. But nothing else. No Album or Artist.
so the tracks will remain grouped as an album based on their initial folder and the albums and tracks as per file name?
Crows2012 wrote:
also, does aiff have limitations (apart from the full size of the file)?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. For all practical purposes AIFF and WAV are exactly the same thing. They're just file containers.
i thought that i had read somewhere that aiff tags could run into some issues with its tags - ie may not always be transferred 100% accurately with certain players (or hardware maybe)
Crows2012 wrote:
and how do these codecs work re-creating an album for the purposes of playing in a cd player? - this is a crucial question for the purpose of my archiving/backup of CDs THEMSELVES
That's actually going to depend on what burning software you use. Once you rip the tracks to whatever file container you choose (WAV/AIFF/ALAC) you'll never really exactly re-create the album. But for archiving purposes all three file containers will do what you want, which is to create a lossless archive. AIFF has the advantage of supporting embedded ID3, which ALAC has the additional advantage of the files also being about half the size of AIFF/WAV files.
i was thinking that maybe wav was able to recreate an album (in effect duplicate one) if my cd was lost or damaged in the future. i was thinking this IF when ripping to wav everything is unchanged (unless there is other data on the original cd). and maybe only possible with wav. the purpose for this would be to play recreated cds on my cd player
any idea on this one?
(i havent looked too thoroughly on this angle but i'll keep googling on this one)
much appreciate all info thus far

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Why do we need SSIS and star schema of Data Warehouse?

If SSAS in MOLAP mode stores data, what is the application of SSIS and why do we need a Data Warehouse and the ETL process of SSIS?
I have a SQL Server OLTP database. I am using SSIS to transfer my SQL Server data from OLTP database to a Data Warehouse database that contains fact and dimension tables.
After that I want to create cubes using SSAS form Data Warehouse data.
I know that MOLAP stores data. Do I need any Data warehouse with Fact and Dimension tables?
Is not it better to avoid creating Data warehouse and create cubes directly from OLTP database?

Another thing to note is data stored in transactional system may not always be in end user consumable format for ex. we may use bit fields/flags to represent some details in OLTP as storage required ius minimum but presenting them as is would not make any
sense to user as they would not know what each bit value represents. In such cases we apply some transformations and convert data into useful information for users to understand. This is also in the warehouse so that information in warehouse can directly be
used for reporting. Also in many cases the report will merge data from multiple source systems so merging it on the fly in report would be tedious and would have hit on report server. In comparison bringing them onto common layer (warehouse) and prebuilding
aggregates would be benefitial for the report performance.
I think (not sure) we join tables in SSAS queries and calculate aggregations in it.
I think SSAS stores these values and joined tables and we do not need to evaluates those values again and this behavior is like a Data Warehouse.
Is not it?
So if I do not need historical data, Can I avoid creating Data Warehouse?
On the backend SSAS uses queries only to extract the data
B/w I was not explaining on SSAS. I was explaining on what happens inside datawarehouse which is a relational database by itself. SSAS is used to built cube (OLAP structures) on top of datawarehouse. star schema is easier for defining relationships
and buidling aggregations inside SSAS as its simple and requires minimal lookups to be performed. Also data would be held at lowest granularity level which can easily be aggregated to required levels inside OLAP cubes. Cube processing is very resource
intensive and using OLTP system would really have a huge impact on processing performance as its nnot denormalized and also doing tranformation etc on the fly adds up to complexity. Precreating a layer (data warehouse) having data in required format would
make cube processing easier and simpler as it has to just cross join tables and aggregate data based on relationships defined and level needed inside the cube.

Why Do We Need Constructor With Arguments?

I understand that constructor is used to create instances.
We can have constructors with 0 argument or with one/multiple arguments. Why do we need a contructor with arguments? What is the purpose of doing it?
Thank you for your help.

There are three general ways to provide constructors, like you said:
1) Default constructor (no arguments)
2) One or more constructors with arguments
3) One or more constructors with arguments as well as a default constructor
From a design standpoint, the idea is to give as much information needed for constructing an object up front. Look at the standard Java API for some examples (and because I couldn't find a standard class with just a default constructor, one made up):
public class Foo {
private long createTime;
public Foo() {
createTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
public String toString() {
return "This object was created at " + createTime;
}This code has no reason to take any arguments. It does all construction on its own and already has all the information it needs. On the other hand, look at BufferedReader. There's no possible way this object can ever be constructed without an argument. What's it buffering? It doesn't make sense to ever instantiate new BufferedReader(). It'd be useless. So BufferedReader has no default (no-arg) constructor.
Sometimes (very often in Java) you want to do both. Let something be instantiated with no arguments, but also provide the option of creating something with more specific details. A good example is ArrayList, which has three constructors:
public ArrayList() --> Construct an empty ArrayList with the default initial capacity;
public ArrayList(Collection c) --> Construct an ArrayList populated with the contents of another collection;
public ArrayList(int capacity) --> Construct an empty ArrayList with a specific initial capacity.
Sometimes it makes sense just to use the default. Sometimes you want more control over the behavior. Those are the times to use multiple constructors.
Hope this helps!

Why do we need user exit number

Hi,
why do we need user exit number?/
what is the purpose of this user exit number??
example (U22....)
thanks
Rama

Hi Rama,
Under a user exit number you can have multiple Exits/FMs. If you add this single number in CMOD for any project then you can make use of all the exits under this User Exit number.
Hope i have answered your question.

Multiple CDs Issue

I have 60 songs that I have purchased from itunes with a total of 13.9 hours and 383.9 mb and when I click to burn them to a disk the message box says that the songs will not fit on one cd. It asks do you want create multiple cds? The choice is cancel or audio cds. When I click on audio cds nothing happens.
Brian

As the tracks were purchased from the iTunes store they are protected, and as per Apple's suggested method, you can unprotected them by burning to Audio CDs (and then if you wish also reimporting them back in to iTunes as MP3s).
As you want to play them in your car on a CD player you will need to unprotect them as above. Quite a few in car CD players can play MP3 disks but you have to unprotect them first via an AUDIO CD disk.
iTunes is not clever enough to automatically split a selection of tracks on to multiple CDs so you will have to manually select a few at a time to burn to Audio CDs.

Datadictionary (se11) why do we need view?explain?

hi
1 why do we need view?
2 .what is the difference between view & inner join?
3.tell me about view types?
regards
eswar

Use of Views instead of base tables
Many times ABAP programmers deal with base tables and nested selects. Instead it is always advisable to see whether there is any view provided by SAP on those base tables, so that the data can be filtered out directly, rather than specially coding for it.
Not recommended
            Select * from zcntry where cntry like IN%.
             Select single * from zflight where cntry = zcntry-cntry and airln = LF.
            Endselect.
Recommended
            Select * from zcnfl where cntry like IN% and airln = LF.
            Endselect.
Joins
Proper use of Inner Join
When multiple SAP tables are logically joined, it is always advisable to use inner join to read the data from them. This certainly reduces the load on the network.
Let us take an example of 2 tables, zairln and zflight. The table zairln has the field airln, which is the airline code and the field lnnam, which is the name of the airline. The table zflight has the field airln, the airline code and other fields which hold the details of the flights that an airline operates.
Since these 2 tables a re logically joined by the airln field, it is advisable to use the inner join.
             Select aairln alnnam bfligh bcntry into table int_airdet
            From zairln as a inner join zflight as b on aairln = bairln.
In order to restrict the data as per the selection criteria, a where clause can be added to the above inner join.
What is the Different Types and Usage of Views
This is often asked in an interview about the types of views:
The followings are different types of views:
- Database View   (SE11)
Database views are implement an inner join, that is, only records of the primary table (selected via the join operation) for which the corresponding records of the secondary tables also exist are fetched. Inconsistencies between primary and secondary table could, therefore, lead to a reduced selection set.
In database views, the join conditions can be formulated using equality relationships between any base fields. In the other types of view, they must be taken from existing foreign keys. That is, tables can only be collected in a maintenance or help view if they are linked to one another via foreign keys.
- Help View    ( SE54)
Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called.
When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view.
- Projection View
Projection views are used to suppress or mask certain fields in a table (projection), thus minimizing the number of interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is exchanged when the database is accessed.
A projection view can draw upon only one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.
- Maintenance View   ( SE54 )
Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.

Why do we reuire multiple aliases

why do we reuire multiple aliases. We can have only one system with one alias. we should directly use the system name. If we are using aliases, then there must be some advantage of it....Please correct me if I am thinking in wrong direction.

There is no right on wrong answer here - you use as many (or as few) as you need.
If you consider business packages for example - lets assume you use Self Service and some other business package from SAP. Its likely that the provided iviews may use different alias names to access systems (SAP_R3_Financials, SAP_R3_HumanResources etc etc). These can be the SAME system from a portal perspective (hence 2 aliases can reference a single system conenctor).
Aliases in no way restrict (or otherwise) the number of users who can access a system.

HT2534 why do you need my cc?????

The article on itunes is incorrect. I do not get an option to click "none" when creating an apple ID...I only want to get some artwork, not planning to purchase anything, so why do they need my cc info?

dablenda wrote:
I think this is ridiculous...why would I put that information out there if I am not buying anything?
Setting up an account without a credit card does appear to be slightly "involved", but since you have stated that you don't intend to buy anything and that you simply want to find the artwork, perhaps you should concentrate on getting the artwork using the method I suggested.
I never get artwork for any of my albums from the iTunes Store. Since the Store only has artwork for the albums it sells, several of my CDs will not be found in the Store anyway.
There is another method too if you are using your CDs as the source for your music: if you have a scanner bed, or a printer with a scanner facility, scan the CD cover and paste that into your artwork box.
By the way, note that tt2's post states that you cannot change an existing AppleID to the "no credit card" option. So if you simply tried to change your existing id, then that could be the problem.

Unable to burn on multiple CDs

I bought an album at the iTunes store and wish to burn it on CD - I click BURN, it checks the playlist, tells me I need multiple audio CDs , I click Audio CDs, and iTunes returns to the previous mode. Never even attempts to start to burn.
running iTunes 8.02
this is the first time I've tried to burn this album
getting frustrated, any suggestions gratefully received

Although iTunes nominally has the capability to burn a long playlist across multiple CDs, the reality is that that feature has never worked reliably. Split your album into individual playlists, each with less than 80 minutes of music, and burn them one at a time.

If the new SIM is working, and I backed up the Iphone-4, why do I need to to RESET and Restore, as mentioned in the "About Unlocking" instruction?

I think you haven't told us the whole story. If the phone was working on multiple carriers before it was officially unlocked it was hacked to do so. If it wasn't, and you haven't seen the message "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked" then you must still Restore iOS on it to get this message.

Group Multiple CDs of album together in 11.0.3

Does anyone know what the new iTunes feature of grouping multiple CDs of the same album together means? Is it fixing the problem where sometimes they don't? Does it allow CDs with the names [disc 1] and [disc 2] after them to be grouped together? I have been taking Albums of mutiple CDs and using the "disc" fields and that seems to work.
I really dislike Apple's SCANT help on new features. I had to go dig through the (VASTLY) revamped view options to figure out where the ability to show album art in list view was hidden, and the help files have not been updated with the new mini view. A little more help would be nice Apple...

Thank you for the picture Michael! I now know what is going on....
NOTHING changed in terms of what it takes to group them together, as in, you still need them to be the same album titile, and you need to use the disc # and total disc count fields — the change is that now, instead of showing tracks 1-10 and then starting over with tracks 1-12 (for example) for disk 2, and having them all be one after another, it breaks it into each disc with a disc # and does it horizontally rather than vertically. What I mean by that is the following:
Before, if you had 3 discs, that totaled 32 tracks. Disc one with 9, disc two with 11, and disc 3 with 12. What you'd have is two columns of 16 songs each, 1st column starting with 1-9, then 1-7. The right column would start with 8, go through 11, and then go 1-12. NOW what you get is 3 groupings, titled disc 1, 2 and 3, 1st one going 1-5 in column 1 and 6-9 in column 2. Second disc going 1-6 in column 1 and 7-11 in column 2, and the last one having two equal sized columns of 1-6 and 7-12.
Also, Not sure I agree on defaulting to on, but unlike all the other checboxe in view options, this one is not also available by right clicking the column headers.
Thanks for the help guys!

Repeating tracks on multiple CDs

I burned a playlist under iTunes 8. 140 songs - so I needed to use multiple CDs (7). When I went to play them I discovered that the last 6 or 7 songs on each CD were repeated as the first 6 or 7 songs on the next CD - that happened for all 7 CDs.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?

See my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
