Will not add mp3 to library - error

I have iMac with latest SW updates.
Since the itunes update 10.2.2 I have had errors adding some MP3 files.
The file I have in question is MP3 160kbps and is 19.2 Mb.
Why does this happen - other mp3 load no problem?
How do I add these file types to the library?

Used a product called MP3 Scan+Repair for OSX
yeah, that's the one. somehow my link above didn't work so here it is again: MP3 Validator.
but will still play in iTunes
that's odd. how do you play the file in iTunes if you cannot add them to the library ?

Itunes will not add files to Library

Greetings.
My iTunes will not add my recent downloads to my library.
I have tried adding the entire folder to the library and adding each song individually with no success.
Please help if you can.
Thanks for reading.

I am having this problem as well, both with audio files AND video files. Very frustrating, as I just got my first iPod and want to load it up so I can play! (Not new to iTunes, though...just didn't have everything loaded into it).
I see a lot of posts on this forum regarding this...can anyone help??

Itunes will not add folder to library - no error messages

I have an archive of about 4 thousand albums and have decided to use Itunes to manage them. Windows Media Player is terrible for large archives - it's database is poorly designed. Anyway, when I tell Itunes to add a folder (containing 1000 artists each in its folder)to its library it stops at around seventy every time. Also within the 70 artists folders it ingested I have several albums that didn't ingest.
what's going on?
on a related subject, Itunes does not seem to be smart enough to know that it already has a song in its library that you are trying to ingest.
thanks for any help!

iTUnes for windows has a limit, not sure exactly what number that limit is yet but if you goto file>add folder to library it only catches so many til it reaches a limit then it stops.
Also iTUnes is designed to add whats called "Duplicates" because it takes for granted your the smarter one. If you had to songs that are somewhat the same, one is the original, one is a remix, the tags might not note this. You may have .... Britney SPears - hit me one more time then another one thats a remix BUT the tags say the same thing "Britney SPears - hit me one more time" So instead of stoping the second song from coming in, it lets it in so later you can edit the tags to denote its a remix.
Now since you have such a large swath of music all in there own lil folders, Id think the easy thing to do is let iTUnes auto search your system and add them all. Theres no feature like this built into iTUnes UI but theres a feature like this when you delete a hidden pref file. When this file is deleted and you open itunes again, you get a set up wizard, it in this wizard you get the option to have iTUnes search the whole system for music and media files.
Go here to B noirs post about deleting this pref file http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=531850&tstart=0

Can not add mp3 to library

I just downloaded an mp3 song from Marié Digby's free area, and I couldn't for the life of me get it to import or add to my itunes library. I have played the track via VLC and it doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it. I added my entire Downloads folder to try and get it to show up. I wish I had an error I could give, simply iTunes 11 on my MBP running ML 10.8.2.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

Newest version of iTunes will not add files to library.

When I go to add a file to my iTunes library (11.01.1), the file does not show up in my Library. However, it shows up in the "Recently Added" playlist. Bizarre. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes other peole have found 2 possibilities
If iTunes Match is used try Store > Update iTunes Match
if you do not use iTunes Match try logging out of itunes store and logging in again.

ITUNES will NOT add mpeg4 files to library!!!!

So I've tried many video converters on many settings...the files are fine. They play fine in quicktime.
I cannot get the newly made video files into Itunes. .mp4 and .mov files will not add to the library. When i try, absolutely nothing happens
Itunes WILL add .WMA Files to the library and actually play them. These files will not convert to ACC format so i can play them on my ipod however.
all files meet the video file requirements that apple claims will work. (320x240, under 768kbps, etc.)
HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEs, files downloaded before Monday are fine, coul add them ti library.
I'Ve now changed the FTP client, from Transmit to Cyberduck, and can now add new files to the library. All files transfered via Transmit however remain unacceptable to iTunes. It is a pity, as Transmit is much faster and user-friendly.
HAve written to Transmit for their input.

Music will not add to iTunes (MP3 Format)

I'll try to make this quick. About a month ago my hard drive was over flooded with MP3's. I decided to get an external 250GB Hard drive. I moved all of my files over to the external hard drive. iTunes "lost" the connection to those files. Rather than re-define the location of my files inside of iTunes, I took this opportunity to re-organize all of my music.
1. I uninstalled iTunes
2. Deleted the iTunes directory under My Documents\My Music\iTunes
3. Re-installed the latest version of iTunes.
4. Reactivated using my AppleID
I won't even get into how upset I am that the music I purchased is no longer available to me. I find it nearly insane that I can see a list of the music/games I PAID FOR but cannot re-download them. Therefore I've lost those songs and the Suduko game I bought. Lovely.
This is where the problem starts. I do a FILE <-- ADD FOLDER TO LIBRARY and then I select the folder to add. Some folders add with no problems while other folders will not add. Here are the steps I have taken to resolve the problem.
1. Try to drag and drop the songs into iTunes.
2. Try to do a FILE <-- ADD FILE TO LIBRARY (1 file at a time)
3. Moved songs back to the C:\ drive from the external drive.
4. Rename the music files.
5. Using MusicBrainz Picard, I re-tagged (ID3) the files.
6. Uninstalled iTunes and installed an older version (v.7.0)
7. Sent a music file to my friend (here is where it get's interesting)
Now, my friend ALSO cannot add ANY MP3 file that I send him, but he can go out and download the exact same file from the internet and he can add that file with no problem. What does this mean? Is my computer corrupting my MP3 files? Some things to note:
1. I've used Windows XP SP2 to edit my ID3 tags by using the Right-Click <-- Properties <-- Summary Tab to fix or correct some of the names of the artists/albums. Could I be causing some ID3 tag problems when I use MusicBrainz or Windows XP SP2 to change my files?
2. When I try to play one of these "bad" MP3's in iTunes, it won't play the song but when I attempt to play the song using Media Player, I have no problem listening to it.
Any ideas? I'm frustrated and lost. It's been a month without my music on my iPod and I'm wondering if their are any other programs aside from iTunes that I can use with my iPod.

Update - The problem is within iTunes. This is an educated guess but when other applications have NO problem playing, and reading (ID3 Tags) of the same MP3 files that iTunes CANNOT see, this must be an iTunes problem. These are the programs that can play and read ID3 tags on my MP3's:
1. Windows Media Player
2. WinAmp
3. Songbird
4. VLC Media Player
5. MusicBrainz
Also, I used a freeware app named ID3 cleaner to do a test on my MP3's. The program scans for corrupted ID3 tags on MP3 files. It found no corruption on my files at all. I have also converted the ID3 tags on my MP3's to older version thinking that iTunes might have a problem with ID3 V2.4. I took it back to 2.1 and this didn't solve the problem. I'm very frustrated with iTunes and will be using SongBird to work with my iPod for now on. I'll just cut my losses as far as the $50 I've spent in the iTunes Store. If anyone has any other recommendations to fix the problem, I'd love to hear them.
I know I'm not the first person who can't add/import MP3 files into their iTunes library. Doing a search in Google shows hundreds of thousands of hits. At this point it's a complete mystery to me. Something in some of my MP3 files makes iTunes unhappy. This was NOT a problem about 4 months ago. I have a feeling that the most recent releases of iTunes (since the iPhone) has some major bugs. I've been an iTunes user for only about a year but in the last 4 months I've had more problems with Quicktime / iTunes than I have had in the other 8 months combined.
Thanks for reading my unneccesarily long rant I'll check back, seems like a lot of good and helpful people come into these forums. Must be the Apple state of mind

Itunes will not add to library some song I bought.

Itunes will not add to library some song I bought. The PC is a new computer. How do I fix this?

Diesel vdub asked a question which you have answered yourself, although you don't appear to realise it.
He/she (sorry diesel, I don't know) asked: "Is the song actually on the computer?" and you stated that: "I transfered all songs onto the new computer" and "I looked in the folder but the songs just cant be found" so the copy hasn't worked.
You also mention manually copying, as opposed to a previous (presumably different) method.
How are you trying to copy these songs? Do the copy first and make sure that works. If your first method doesn't work, try a diifferent one - such as the manual copy you referred to (copying onto a memory stick, card, disc etc. etc.)
Until you sort out why your method of copying hasn't worked, everything else you "try" is a waste of time.

@CPL_STEELE: can you try to post these specifications in your own topic? (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=985161&tstart=0)
It's not very nice to take over someone else this topic, because the topic starter (Ganieda) could have another problem than you. It's also very confusing for everyone who is trying to help because there are now 2 problems in the same topic.
Never the less, feel free to follow this topic if you think it could be interesting for you problem.

HT1473 I can get my CDs into the library but my IPOD Touch will not add it.

I can get my CDs into the library but my IPOD Touch will not add it.

You need to convert the forma of DVDs to one compatible with the iPod. If the DVDs are commercia ones with DRM it is not legal to convert them.

Combing two large libraries (over 1.25 TB total) and music will not show up in library but does in media folder. Help?

I'm a Windows PC user, and I'm currently in the process of combining my 12,000+ song library on my laptop (we'll call it Library A) with a 180,000+ song library (Library B, and yes, one-hundred-and-eighty thousand) onto a new hard drive. I have successfully moved Library A from my laptop onto my new hard drive. The method I have tried so far to move the Library B music into A on the new hard drive is by using the "Add Folder to Library" and selecting only a small portion of the folders in Library B's media folders as not to overload iTunes and to be able to pinpoint problems.
This worked for a few small iterations but the moment I tried doing half of the "A" artists (alphabetically), most of the music doesn't show up in the library. Some of it doesn't show up in the regular library but in the "Recently Added" playlist, and some don't show up in either. I have even tried adding just single files now and those don't show up at all.
THEY ALL SHOW UP IN THE MEDIA FOLDER ON THE NEW HARD DRIVE. That is why I think this might be true but I'm not sure: I've heard that it is because iTunes needs to process all the songs before it shows up in the actual library. Is this true? I have waited over an hour for adding about 6,000 songs; half showed up right in the beginning and half haven't yet. When I added about 4,000 just before this, they all showed up without any problems.
Any help? And is there an easier, error-free way to add this many songs into a new library at once? I'll keep this updated for anyone trying. Thanks in advance!
I have tried signing out and signing in and that does not work either.

hey.
finally somebody with the same problem! i bought a new external drive because i was running out of space and backed up my entire library. then my computer crashed and i wanted to take advantage of a clean drive and not add my whole library back onto my computer. i'd love to be able to access my music folder on the external and have that show up as my library on iTunes when connected...
i followed all the steps as closely as possible and am pretty confident that my advanced preferences in iTunes are correct, but the library does not show these songs from the external drive. have you had any feedback or figured it out on your own?! i hope so, i'm at a deadend.

Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
Thank you very much again.
Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

ITunes will not add songs to my libraby

Everything was fine last night, until my computer crashed. So i had to re-install Windows and everything else on my computer, but when i re-installed ITunes it said my IPOD's link was to another ITunes, and it asked me if i wanted to take all the songs off of it, and put the ones in my current library which was one, so i said no. But now when I put a song into my library it won't go onto my IPOD. It just sits in my Library and will not add to my IPOD
And my songs from my IPOD do not show up in my library, any help would be very appreciated

check to make sure iTunes is set to update automatically. you can do that in preferences.
as for getting the songs from your iPod to your library you will need a program called,"iPod agent".
this will allow you to take information from your iPod to your computer.
you can find it at download.com
