Thank you so much!

[ItalianWolfram]

Thank you! Needed that!

[LarryCook333]

Wow, great tutorial. Thank you. Ignore the two bone heads who "disliked" this video. Apple usually makes things very intuitive. In this case, it required your expertise to guide me through. I would have NEVER figured this out on my own, and I'm pretty good at figuring things out. So, thank you!

[mmx1346]

@LarryCook333 - Thanks man! I am happy I was able to help. Happy holidays :)

I'm having the same problem as @laprincesamusic where the AIFF files do not show up in iTunes. I have 10.4 as well. Not sure how to fix this, if you do, please help! many thanks in advance!

[Ravivlaor]

Very very handy - Thx much!!!

[mmx1346]

@Ravivlaor - You're welcome !

[stevie1872001]

saved money with this thanks

[laprincesamusic]

I have version 10.4... and the AIFF file doesnt even show up in iTunes...

[mmx1346]

@laprincesamusic - I am not sure about this, as I have not upgraded to 10.4 yet. Did you do the following?: Go into preferences, under the general tab, click import settings, and then from the 'Import Using' drop down box, select "AIFF Encoder". Then just right click a song in iTunes and select create AIFF version.

[ViperB2]

[COOLERU]

How is it possible to convert mp3 into an AIFF? How come it doesnt get corrupted?

[mmx1346]

@COOLERU - To convert MP3 to AIFF, go into preferences in iTunes, under the general tab, click import settings, and then from the 'Import Using' drop down box, select "AIFF Encoder". Then just right click a song in iTunes and select create AIFF version. Regarding your question about why is doesn't get corrupted: I have no idea, I just know that it works :)

[COOLERU]

@mmx1346 No I understood that, but I can't tell a different in sound quality.

[tiffalam]

thanks so much! this helped a lot!



[gomaster7111]

Absolutely amazing explanation! I could really use this tutorial after about 6 free versions of 'AIFconverters' that only after full installation say that it only converts 60% of the song.... Thank a lot for this!

[mmx1346]

@gomaster7111 - I'm happy you found the video! Sounds like you went through a lot of struggle at first. Glad to know it worked out !

[RingsideViolence]

Thanks a lot for the guide!



[RingsideViolence]

Thanks a lot for the guide!

[1verge1]

Wow, thanks a lot for this! I downloaded a "free" program from cnet only to realize after about 30 minutes of work, that the free version does NOTHING. But this way is easy as pie. Thanks for finally giving me a use for this iTunes garbage.

[mmx1346]

@1verge1 - Sounds like these free programs are pretty bad. I'm happy you found my video :)

[fetalfeet]

EXCELLENT!!! THANKS FOR MAKING THIS!

[bcfc345]

cheers dude had to upload something for Uni in mp3 and only had it in AIFF, u saved me a long time messing around !!!! :)

[11tennisgirl]

Thank you so much you saved my project

[schlaick]

whats a lie berry? .... just takin the piss mate. thanks for the help

[wKlptera]

GREAT! thankyou so muccchh

[03alev]

i have, but i was looking for the preferences, and the preferences was in Edit

[03alev]

:(

[03alev]

What about for a windows?

it has no Itunes in the toolbar? :(

[mmx1346]

@03alev - You'll have to go to the apple website and download iTunes. It's free ;)

[bultaco111]

@mmx1346 Hello.. everything is going along fine.. until get to the right click to "create mp3 version" then a box pops with "None of the selected files were converted because they could not be found" ???? why? what do I do next?

[mmx1346]

@bultaco111 - Hey, I'm not really sure as to why this would be. It sounds like your song is not really in iTunes. If it appears in your list of music on iTunes, but then says in cannnot be found, I don't think it's really there. To double check if this is correct, go to your iTunes and right click on the song and click "show in finder". It should show the location where the actual file is located. The fix would be to re-import the song and try again. Hope this served you and was helpful :)

[qone1200]

thanks broooo

[cameron2031]

very good explaining, thank you! :)

[Poolboyp]

Awesome! A great thank you!

[93JayMONEY]

Thanks Alot!!

[WafflesOWNz]

mine doesn't have "iTunes" as an option. :/

[mmx1346]

@WafflesOWNz - hmm.. I'm not sure why this would be. Do you have itunes installed? I think once you right click, and select "open with", you can then hit "other" (on mac) or "choose a program" (on windows).. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that may be the fix :)

[mmx1346]

@mmx1346 - I hope you found the fix :)

[spearsheikh]

thank you!

[Papan897]

thank u ....................

[mmx1346]

@Papan897 You're welcome! I figured after I spent 2 hours figuring it out, I should make a video so other people don't have to spend as much time :)

[alex5000an]

Im trying to do this with MP3 into AAC and when i folowed you here when i right click it dosn't show "Convert into AAC" What should i do?

[mmx1346]

@alex5000an Are you trying to convert MP3 into AAC, or AAC into MP3?

[alex5000an]

@mmx1346 MP3 into ACC

[mmx1346]

@alex5000an - You'll have to change the encoder back to AAC. Open iTunes, and go to preferences (shortcut: command + comma). Make sure you're under the "general tab", the click "Import Settings" which will be a third of the way down. Under the drop down menu for "Import Using", select AAC Encoder and hit OK. Now right click the music file in iTunes and select "Create AAC Version".. the follow rest of steps in my video to find where file is located. Hope this works :)
