are you unable to import the track? when you drag and drop does nothing happen? Can you convert your music file to a .wav file?

[dsorce]

i think you can use a midi file. but i won't sound as good as an mp3. Make sure the mp3 doesn't say (vbr) and it must be 320 kbps

the problem is that i cant find the :preferences -->advance .

there is not import or any other customization of files in itunes 9

[dsorce]

your right!

its now under "General"

Find a button that says "import settings"

[dsorce]

Basically, you want something with a higher bit rate. Normally mp3s are like 128 or 192, you want something that is 320. Wav is cd quality so it would work even better.

Can you import a song then isolate the instruments in that song? Like take out the guitar or whatever?

[dsorce]

no not really. It would be like trying to remove the black from a painting that has like 12 other colors in it.

@wakenbakejake420 you just saved me sooo much time. thanks.

[wakenbakejake420]

new MacBooks just have a button at the bottom right corner to upload mp3 tracks from iTunes...just to save someone from trying to do all the shit he did 4 years ago...

[TheMusicman0721]

@JesusWeptt you would have to have all the original tracks to do that

[cotyutube]

thanks man. although my itunes is a little different in how to get to importing settings you helped out big time.

Oh hey! Have you ever tried bee4biz (google it)? it is a link locker which pays every time someone does your survey and unblocks your protected url. A buddy of mine makes tons money with them just getting people to do surveys.
