RE: MP3 Files

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hello Sandy,

 

It depends on what you want to do with the files. Yes, you can use Dropbox,
but if you want them available in the Music App I would definitely use
iTunes. Simply add them to iTunes, they will most likely end up in the Music
Library. Here you can find them and either go to "Get Info" for each file or
highlight them all and do the Control+I (the PC/Windows shortcut for Get
Info) on all of them. Then go to the "Options" tab and tab 3 times until you
get to "Media Kind". This will be on Music, but you can change it to
Podcast, iTunes U, Audio Book or Voice Memo and once you change it and tab
to OK your files will be moved out of the Music Library and into whichever
Library you chose, e.g. if you selected Audio Book they will now show up
under "Books". On the "Info" tab in Get Info you can also enter any ID3 tag
information, e.g. Album Name, Title, Artist, Track Number etc.

 

I hope this will work for you.

 

 

Good luck,

Sieghard

re: MP3 Files

[Joshua Klander]

Hello.  If you do not want to use iTunes, you might want to try 
an app called box player.  You will need to have a dropbox 
account for it to work, but it will allow you to actually 
download your mp 3 files from dropbox.

RE: MP3 Files

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Claudia,

 

Yes, any iDevice can play MP3 files just fine. As far as whether you have to
go through iTunes to get them onto the device the answer for the most part
is Yes.

However, if you want to listen to audio books you could buy Voice Dream
Reader and then, as long as you also are set up with Dropbox on both your
computer and your iPod Touch, you can compress/zip an audio book folder
which contains MP3 files, then copy said folder into a Dropbox folder (you
could call it Voice Dream" or "iPod Audio Books" or whatever you want.

Now once the book has uploaded and keep in mind that if you have a large
book which is a few hundred Mb, this could take a while, you can now open
Voice Dream and add a book, select that you want to add it from Dropbox and
browse to the folder where you have it saved. Double tap on it and Voice
Dream will download the book into the app (it can be used in offline mode)
and it will then unzip the files and you can listen to the audio book.

Having said all that, my preferred method is to use the free Chapter and
Vers software from Loden Software which lets me convert an audio book with
multiple MP3 files into a single file audio book of the iTunes format (with
extension M4B).

At the end of the conversion Chapter and Vers asks if you want to import the
book into iTunes, you can say Yes and it will show up in your Books library.

>From here all you have to do is connect your phone and either choose to sync
all books or to sync selected books, then check the book or books you want
and press Apply.

Sieghard

Re: MP3 Files

Hello Sieghard
I downloaded the Chapter and Vers manual and it seems that 
one must first import the files into iTunes and then convert 
them file by file into the Apple format. Is there no other 
way to do batch conversion into the Apple format? It seems 
that the process described in the manual involves much work 
before one can eventually play the book on the iDevice.

RE: MP3 Files

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Fanus,

Everything is done in Chapter and Vers, but it uses the iTunes encoder to do
the conversion so iTunes will open if you don't already have it open.

All I do is open iTunes, then I open Chapter and Vers and in Chapter and
Vers focus is usually on the "Add Files" button. I activate it, set the file
type to MP3, browse to the folder of MP3 files I want to convert and use
Control+A to select them all. Then I tab to "Open" and activate it.
Now Chapter and Vers (let's call it CV for convenience) does what it calls a
file validation on each of the MP3 files. You can use Jaws Key+Page Down to
read the status bar of CV and follow that.
Once it's done you have an option to update the encoder settings, e.g.
bitrate, mono/stereo, there is something called "Optimize for Voice" which
is a checkbox and so on.
You can also specify if you want the converted files to be placed in the
same directory with the MP3 files, I usually do that because later you can
save your single file elsewhere and once I have the book converted and
everything is in one big file I usually delete all the original MP3 files
and the converted M4B files.
There are also other tabs in this dialogue other than the Conversion tab,
but I don't have time to write a full tutorial on how to use CV now.
If you have multiple MP3 files which each are a chapter or maybe they each
are about an hour or whatever, this structure is preserved in the single
large file you get and you can still use Previous and Next to go to these
files or chapters or whatever they are.
Once you have set your conversion options activate the Save button, then
focus will be on the "Yes, Convert" button. Activate it and all files will
be converted into M4B.
When you first press the "Yes, Convert" button and check the status line, CV
will say "Updating iTunes AAC encoder Parameters".
This takes a moment and then you get the message that it is "Converting 01
Valhalla Rising", that is just an example of a Clive Cussler book I am
converting as I am typing this so I don't miss any steps.
The conversion will take some time depending on how long each file is and
how many files there are, in this case of Valhalla Rising there are 24 files
and each seems to take 40 or 45 seconds to convert, so in total this book
takes about 12 or 15 minutes to convert, then building the final single file
will take another couple of minutes.
It also depends on your computer's speed.
When the initial conversion of all the MP3 files is complete it may seem
that CV is "Not responding" and it will most likely say "Closing iTunes
Connection", just let it sit and do it's thing.
It then goes through another validation before it will tell you it is
"Generating Chapter Data Files" and after that it goes through the "Merging
Audio" process.
When it's done and your book is longer you may get the following warning
message:

Audio Duration Warning
The total duration of the audio files you selected is 1,654,433,568 audio
samples.
Audiobooks longer than 650,000,000 samples may have problems playing on
certain ipods.
The latest generation of iPod's (e.g. iPod classic and iPod Touch) appear to
have corrected the problem.
It is recommended that you split your audiobook into multiple parts if you
have an earlier generation iPod or experience playback issues with longer
audiobooks.

There is a "Do Not Show this message again" checkbox and an OK button.
As the message said, you can pretty much ignore it, I never had a problem
with any length of book.

OK, now in the status line if you do Jaws Key+Down Arrow you would hear, in
my example, Ready, Files: 24, Chapters: 24".
You now have a visual list of all the files and durations and you can move
them around, but of course normally you would want to leave them in their
correct order.
You now can tab to the "Built Audio Book" button and activate it.
It will ask you to "Choose Output File and Location", this is basically a
standard Windows Save As dialogue box, you can give your book a proper name
and save it in which ever folder you want.
After you activate "Save" the files are merged and saved as 1 file in M4B
format.
At the very end CV asks if you want it to automatically add the file to your
iTunes library, I usually say Yes and then it's there ready to be synced to
my iPhone.

Converting books this way is not a fast process, but it is a one-time
process and you can sort of start it and then do something else and just
check back to continue to the next step.
The steps above maybe sound more complicated than they are, but once you,
for example, set your encoder settings you can just add the files and then
go straight to "Yes, Convert" without updating the settings again.

Hope this helps,
Sieghard

Subject: RE: MP3 Files

Fanus,

Everything is done in Chapter and Vers, but it uses the iTunes encoder to do
the conversion so iTunes will open if you don't already have it open.

All I do is open iTunes, then I open Chapter and Vers and in Chapter and
Vers focus is usually on the "Add Files" button. I activate it, set the file
type to MP3, browse to the folder of MP3 files I want to convert and use
Control+A to select them all. Then I tab to "Open" and activate it.
Now Chapter and Vers (let's call it CV for convenience) does what it calls a
file validation on each of the MP3 files. You can use Jaws Key+Page Down to
read the status bar of CV and follow that.
Once it's done you have an option to update the encoder settings, e.g.
bitrate, mono/stereo, there is something called "Optimize for Voice" which
is a checkbox and so on.
You can also specify if you want the converted files to be placed in the
same directory with the MP3 files, I usually do that because later you can
save your single file elsewhere and once I have the book converted and
everything is in one big file I usually delete all the original MP3 files
and the converted M4B files.
There are also other tabs in this dialogue other than the Conversion tab,
but I don't have time to write a full tutorial on how to use CV now.
If you have multiple MP3 files which each are a chapter or maybe they each
are about an hour or whatever, this structure is preserved in the single
large file you get and you can still use Previous and Next to go to these
files or chapters or whatever they are.
Once you have set your conversion options activate the Save button, then
focus will be on the "Yes, Convert" button. Activate it and all files will
be converted into M4B.
When you first press the "Yes, Convert" button and check the status line, CV
will say "Updating iTunes AAC encoder Parameters".
This takes a moment and then you get the message that it is "Converting 01
Valhalla Rising", that is just an example of a Clive Cussler book I am
converting as I am typing this so I don't miss any steps.
The conversion will take some time depending on how long each file is and
how many files there are, in this case of Valhalla Rising there are 24 files
and each seems to take 40 or 45 seconds to convert, so in total this book
takes about 12 or 15 minutes to convert, then building the final single file
will take another couple of minutes.
It also depends on your computer's speed.
When the initial conversion of all the MP3 files is complete it may seem
that CV is "Not responding" and it will most likely say "Closing iTunes
Connection", just let it sit and do it's thing.
It then goes through another validation before it will tell you it is
"Generating Chapter Data Files" and after that it goes through the "Merging
Audio" process.
When it's done and your book is longer you may get the following warning
message:

Audio Duration Warning
The total duration of the audio files you selected is 1,654,433,568 audio
samples.
Audiobooks longer than 650,000,000 samples may have problems playing on
certain ipods.
The latest generation of iPod's (e.g. iPod classic and iPod Touch) appear to
have corrected the problem.
It is recommended that you split your audiobook into multiple parts if you
have an earlier generation iPod or experience playback issues with longer
audiobooks.

There is a "Do Not Show this message again" checkbox and an OK button.
As the message said, you can pretty much ignore it, I never had a problem
with any length of book.

OK, now in the status line if you do Jaws Key+Down Arrow you would hear, in
my example, Ready, Files: 24, Chapters: 24".
You now have a visual list of all the files and durations and you can move
them around, but of course normally you would want to leave them in their
correct order.
You now can tab to the "Built Audio Book" button and activate it.
It will ask you to "Choose Output File and Location", this is basically a
standard Windows Save As dialogue box, you can give your book a proper name
and save it in which ever folder you want.
After you activate "Save" the files are merged and saved as 1 file in M4B
format.

check back to continue to the next step.
The steps above maybe sound more complicated than they are,

Re: MP3 Files

You place all of the mp3's in a folder.  Then you go into the folder and zip 
all of the files.  Then I used itunes to transfer the zipped file to my ipad 
mini.  You could probably use dropbox and transfer the files that way as 
well.

Sandy,
What I would do is to make a playlist in iTunes. Then, go to your windows
explorer, copy the files. Go to iTunes and go to the blank list of that
playlist, and paste. It will put all of those files in there. When you're
done, sync that playlist to your phone.

I have some mp3 files that were given to me and I want to play them on my

questions.

 

 

All of the music is by one artist; it is all in one folder in the same
manner as the rest of the music files. And when I open an album file I see
the individuall tracks, eachof which has an MP3 extension. . On my phone I
see the artist but I  don't see all of the music.  Some of the albums don't
show up at all. I right clicked on the individual song titles thinking I'd
find a place to convert the file from MP3 but it's not there.  

 

Is there a way to do what I want to do? Thanks.

RE: MP3 files and iTunes

Sandy, I know at least one other person has already posted a reply but I'm
curious what actual steps you took when you copied the mp3 files into your
library. Did you do this through iTunes using the File, Add File to Library
or File, Add Folder to Library menu options? My understanding is that music
on your computer that you want to sync with your iDevice must be in your
iTunes library and must reside in the folder structure you've identified to
iTunes in its Edit, Preferences options. After you ensure that is the case,
using playlists to control what content is synced is the way I handle music
transfers.

Tom and Alan, I think I got it.  I copied the files using the "add folders to 
library" utility, put
the music in a play list, and then found "create eversion." there are 3 
choices, including iPhone
version, which is disabled. My only alternative Is aac. Do you know what that 
is? Maybe I don't need

Sandy, I know at least one other person has already posted a reply but I'm 
curious what actual steps
you took when you copied the mp3 files into your library. Did you do this 
through iTunes using the
File, Add File to Library or File, Add Folder to Library menu options? My 
understanding is that
music on your computer that you want to sync with your iDevice must be in your 
iTunes library and
must reside in the folder structure you've identified to iTunes in its Edit, 
Preferences options.
After you ensure that is the case, using playlists to control what content is 
synced is the way I
handle music transfers.

I have some mp3 files that were given to me and I want to play them on my 
phone.  I have copied them
into my music library. I have a couple of questions.

 

 

All of the music is by one artist; it is all in one folder in the same manner 
as the rest of the
music files. And when I open an album file I see the individuall tracks, eachof 
which has an MP3
extension. . On my phone I see the artist but I  don't see all of the music.  
Some of the albums
don't show up at all. I right clicked on the individual song titles thinking 
I'd find a place to
convert the file from MP3 but it's not there.  

 

Is there a way to do what I want to do? Thanks.

 

Sandy

Re: MP3 files and iTunes

[Alan Paganelli]

Sandy, the play list is nothing more then a list of songs and their locations.  
It's an easy way to create lists of all the songs you have on your device.  
Let's say you have a large library of ten thousand songs.  It's a pain in the 
neck to have to look through that many songs just to find something to listen 
to.  Now let's say you want to make up a play list for all your favorite songs. 
 The play list permits you to do just that.  It also does not mean your tied to 
that play list.  People are subject to change and you might add more music to 
that collection so that's why there is an edit feature which permits you to add 
or delete songs from that favorites list.  This is just a very simple 
explanation just so you get the idea of why play lists can be your friend so to 
speak.  You can add a song to a play list or an album.  You can go as far as 
you want to with it even adding play lists to play lists.

I know professional disk jockeys here in Las Vegas who show up to the job with 
an iPod rather then just a computer.  Also it lets you pause a play list and 
sneak a selected song into the mix and then back to the play list in case you 
take requests.

Hope that answers your question of what are play lists.

  Ok, now I have added the music through the Add Folders to Library feature; 
they're all there.  Now what is it I'm doing with a play list?  I don't get 
that part.

   

  Is there any virtue in converting the music from MP3 to some other file 
extension? Thanks a lot.

Re: MP3 files and iTunes

[Alan Paganelli]

OGG is another format like mp3.  It's actually suppose to give you better 
quality with a smaller size.  That having been said, I didn't want to have to 
convirt my collection over.  The Ogg files that I do have when I've bought 
albums from the iTunes store sound perfectly fine so I wouldn't hesitate to use 
the format.

RE: MP3 files and iTunes

[Alan Lemly]

Sandy, glad all your music is now there. The main benefit I find for
playlists is to restrict which music I sync to my iPhone through iTunes.
I've got too much music to sync all of it and iTunes allows you to specify
which playlists to sync.

 

Some will say that the native iTunes AAC file format sounds better and takes
less space than mp3 but that's a personal preference issue and really only
applies when the songs are first being ripped. If you take a music file that
has already been compressed to an mp3 file format and then convert it to
another compressed format, you will suffer some loss in quality. I'm not
sure I'd be able to hear it but unless your mp3 files aren't working for
you, I wouldn't go to the trouble of converting them to something else.

Sandy, I know at least one other person has already posted a reply but I'm
curious what actual steps you took when you copied the mp3 files into your
library. Did you do this through iTunes using the File, Add File to Library
or File, Add Folder to Library menu options? My understanding is that music
on your computer that you want to sync with your iDevice must be in your
iTunes library and must reside in the folder structure you've identified to
iTunes in its Edit, Preferences options. After you ensure that is the case,
using playlists to control what content is synced is the way I handle music
transfers.

I have some mp3 files that were given to me and I want to play them on my
phone.  I have copied them into my music library. I have a couple of
questions.

 

 

All of the music is by one artist; it is all in one folder in the same
manner as the rest of the music files. And when I open an album file I see
the individuall tracks, eachof which has an MP3 extension. . On my phone I
see the artist but I  don't see all of the music.  Some of the albums don't
show up at all. I right clicked on the individual song titles thinking I'd
find a place to convert the file from MP3 but it's not there.  

 

Is there a way to do what I want to do? Thanks.

Using playlists to sync content with your iPhone - was - Re: MP3 files and iTunes

I can deffinately say that using playlists to sync music to your iPhone is an 
awesome feature! This is the only way that I use to get music and audiobooks 
onto my phone. It's such a time-saver, too.

I have some mp3 files that were given to me and I want to play them on my 
phone.  I have copied them into my music library. I have a couple of 
questions.






All of the music is by one artist; it is all in one folder in the same 
manner as the rest of the music files. And when I open an album file I see 
the individuall tracks, eachof which has an MP3 extension. . On my phone I 
see the artist but I  don’t see all of the music.  Some of the albums don’t 
show up at all. I right clicked on the individual song titles thinking I’d 
find a place to convert the file from MP3 but it’s not there.




Is there a way to do what I want to do? Thanks.

File, Add Folder to Library menu options? My understanding is that music on
