Re: CDs not playing

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Ronni,

 

This thread has sparked my interest on a couple of fronts.

 
My itunes library has a legacy of a huge number of MP3 tracks for a couple of 
reasons. Back in the day my powerbook G4 Titanium had only a 10GB HD so I 
needed to watch file sizes also (pre iPhones etc) I used to make MP3 CDs to 
play in the car to avoid carrying round lots of my CDs.
Now HD storage is plentiful & cheap & I am thinking it’s about time I rebuilt 
my library with better quality imports – however, due to the number of CDs, 
this will be a long, quite slow, process. I also have a fair number of legacy 
MP3 files where either the original CDs are not available or I originally 
ripped from the vinyl and that original set-up is no longer available - when 
WAS the last iMac/macbook to have an audio input port?!
 

 

So, after reading your post, a few questions came up:
Does iTunes no longer play MP3s? I am still on El Capitan with iTunes 12.6 and 
everything still works just fine. If I later upgrade to a computer with macOS 
High Sierra, or better, will my MP3 tracks stop working?
When choosing between AAC and AIFF, relative to AAC, how much bigger is the 
AIFF file size and how much better is the quality?
Are AAC & AIFF compatible with older hardware/OS set-ups – I have an old 
“lampshade” 15”FP iMac running 10.2 Jaguar doing duty as a “jukebox” – so I 
would just need to save a copy of my “old” MP3 library if it couldn’t cope with 
AAC/AIFF.
If I go with AIFF do I need to also have AAC versions of the tracks to use on 
iPhones and iPads?
When you say AAC is compatible with “iPod models that come with a dock 
connector” – are there other iPod models that are not compatible with AAC?
 

I never seem to get round to it but overhauling my iTunes library is definitely 
on my “New Year List” so time to think about this methinks  ;o)

 

 

Cheers

 

 

 

Neil

Hi Barry,

 

I think it could be the problem. MP3 import is a low quality encoding.

 

 • MP3 Encoder: Use if you plan to listen to music in apps other than iTunes, 
or on MP3 players other than iPod, iPhone, or iPad.

 

Apple iTunes default import encoding is:

 • AAC Encoder: Use for most music. You can listen to songs encoded using this 
format in iTunes, on iPhone and iPad, and on iPod models that come with a dock 
connector.

 

When I import original Music CDs to iTunes I use the highest quality setting: 

• AIFF Encoder: Use if you want to burn high-quality CDs with the songs you’re 
importing without losing audio quality.

 

Only trying to help with my advice.

 

Cheers,

 I have gone through many bits and pieces as outlined below.  I tried importing 
a CD track into iTunes, it appeared to import but would not play.  Purely for 
interest I tried importing it as AAC and much to my surprise it played unlike 
when I had previously imported it as MP3.  The AAC comment etc is really a red

Dear All

Thank-you everyone who had an input but this thread seems to have gone off on a 
tangent and I think it is best to abandon it.  The problem may have been caused 
by my original email query not being clear enough.

Re: iPhone Rubbish Bin

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Peter, Tim & Tony,
I’m confused by Tony’s original comments & replies???

Recovering deleted notes from Recently Deleted
Remember that the Notes app has a Recently Deleted folder. The keyword here 
being “recently,” as the Notes app will only keep these notes for 30 days. 
After 30 days have passed, it will permanently delete them.

Open the Notes app, and tap Recently Deleted from the account that you want to 
recover.
Tap Edit in the upper-right corner.
Select the notes you want to recover.
Tap Move To in the lower-left corner.
Select the folder that you want to move the note to.
Kind regards,
Ronni

True enough, but Tony’s wife's notes were duplicated on her iPad, indicating 
that iCloud must have been involved, unless the notes were duplicated manually, 
which I think is unlikely. Altogether a difficult scenario to understand from a

OK, I think that clears up the point of confusion. The Bin icon in Notes does 
not open a deleted files repository as it does in the Finder on the Mac. It 
simply deleted WHATEVER IS CURRENTLY SELECTED. In your wife’s case that would 
have been the latest note she had just created/edited. It’s the legacy of not 
having a “Desktop” in iOS. Anyway, your experience does point out the benefit 
of having iCloud configured across your devices.

Thank you Peter, sorry that I wasn’t clear enough. Lynette was working in Notes 
and information that she had put into Notes had disappeared, without thinking I 
suggested opening the rubbish to check on it’s contents, as soon as Lynette hit 
the Bin icon everything was deleted.
The outcome is that Lynette had the same Notes duplicated on her iPad, so all 
good. A lesson learnt, ask the question, do a search BEFORE touching the Bin!!!

Thank you Peter

Not sure what’s happened here. There is no “bin” on an iPhone, akin to the 
Trash can on Mac or the “Recycle Bin” on Windows, so I’m not sure what Bin it 
was that she hit. When you delete files on an iPhone they get deleted, but 
that’s usually by tapping a specific “Delete” button within an App, so I’m not 
at all sure how your wife manage to put her Notes “into the Bin”. There are 3rd 
party apps which can deal with deleted files recovery, but from your 
description I can really offer any constructive advice because I can’t 
visualise what might have happened. 

Your first and best resource is your most recent iPhone backup, but if that 
hasn’t been done in a while then you’ll lose any recent data when you try to 
restore from the backup. Sorry I can’t be  of more help here.

Re: CDs not playing

[Barry Sexstone]

Hi Ronni
This is not the problem at all.  I have been unable to play CDs through iTunes. 
 I have gone through many bits and pieces as outlined below.  I tried importing 
a CD track into iTunes, it appeared to import but would not play.  Purely for 
interest I tried importing it as AAC and much to my surprise it played unlike 
when I had previously imported it as MP3.  The AAC comment etc is really a red 
herring what I am interested in doing is playing a CD directly.

 It looks as though Apple do not yet offer a standalone installer for 
 iTunes in Mojave. The only way seems to be to reinstall the OS.
 
 If you visit https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ 
  you can download the earlier 
 version 12.8. It might be worth installing this, then wait for iTunes to 
 recommend the update.
