ALAC w game

Am setting up a new NAS and I noticed something curious. I got 300 + CD professionally from the ALAC. In general, each of these files is running about 30 MB. They have been added to my iTunes library, on/in/with, who I had a subscription existing game "running". When I now look at my library metadata (weeks after adding the Islamabad, so presumably no "corresponding" latency to play), I see these songs always appear as Apple Lossless, always to their size of original, but 'Matched '. It is a relief that I realized too late that maybe my ALAC files would be "replaced" on the MatchCloud, with lower quality AAC files. They were not, but how is this possible? I thought all the songs ("match") provided by Apple were 256/AAC.

Or, they are "poaching" higher quality files of the people and using those as "matches" (there is my cynicism showing through 2016. I mean, Apple is not Trump)

Hello

When iTunes game scans your library, it does not change the file on your hard drive. If the song is matched, it is mapped to 256 Kbps and it is what will be used when you stream other computers or iOS devices. Similarly, the downloaded files are transcribed to 256 Kbps.

The only way that your file will be converted will be if delete you the original and downloaded the version of your library of music to iCloud. In any case, always keep another upward if you don't have already done.

  • How do the elements to work with iTunes game

    I have a large collection of music on CD I am downloading from iTunes. I am subscribed to iTunes Match so that they are not available on all of my devices, including my iPad and iPhone. Some of my CDs are more obscure artists and not found in the iTunes store. These elements do not play on my other devices. I can manually transfer them via iTunes by synchronizing, but iTunes game erases my current library on all devices. I want to have all my music in the cloud, how do I get these obscure music files to work with game?

    Hello

    Music that does not must be downloaded as long as it satisfies file type requirements it is bit rate 96 Kbps gt, size less than 200 MB and the file is MP3, AAC, AIFF, Alac, or WAV.

    Add icloud status to display the song - what is iCloud status of these securities?

  • iTunes game convert my files...

    I wouldn't go as far as naming me as an "audiophile", but I can certainly tell the difference between @ 256 kbps AAC files, and those with the bit rate of a CD.  That said, I spent 3 hours looking for an answer to the cause of my frustration - iTunes game is to convert my files to the ALAC.  When I registered initially for iTunes game a few months ago, precisely, I remember reading somewhere (could not find where so earlier I could quote it) on the Apple Web site that your original in your library files would be unchanged.

    What happened - I noticed today that several of my 'matched' songs had the iCloud beside them download icon. At the time, I was streaming from a Macbook Pro to my home theater receiver using AirPlay, and my iPad for the remote control.  Inadvertently, I clicked on the download icon, which would have been understandable if I was streaming directly from the music app on my iPad, but since I have access to my library on my Macbook, which seemed weird.  This song in particular had been torn from a CD under ALAC format somewhere in the ballpark of 900 kbps bitrate.

    So I went back to my MBP and pulled up in my library - I had played several songs from this album even and only downloaded one.  All the songs that were played were replaced by 256 Kbps protected AAC files.

    Why it's important - iTunes game has been around for several years.  I recently upgraded to it because I had to - I wanted to try the Apple music, and you can't do it, without activating the iCloud, iTunes game aka sharing.  Long ago, I was in College and knew "everything" we were downloading MP3s as fast as our dial-up connections and Napster let us.  It dawned on me that the digital music would be the future, so I ripped all my CDs on my computer (and horribly low flows).  Now I have a nice stereo and can really enjoy the difference between compressed and uncompressed music - granted my ears are not enough to hear a significant difference between 44.1 kHz/16-bit music and audio files of 192 kHz/24-bit Hi Res discern. Having said that, I started to buy my music library in some cases for the third time.  I buy CDs and their extraction in my iTunes as the ALAC files library.  At least until iTunes deems necessary to convert these files down to me.

    So I guess what I'm asking is - is there a way to get around this or am I just wasting my time with music from Apple and iTunes game? Implement a second library of songs only lossless would be a solution? Is it possible to include only one of my libraries in iTunes game?  Must I give up my wish that I can do everything in iTunes and move my library to something like JRiver Media Center?

    For what it worth - I just shot to the top of the album in the Finder and the original file is always there, it is has been replaced by the lower bitrate file in the iTunes window.

    Hello

    ITunes game corresponds to the ALAC as 256 Kbps or transcribed the titles uploaded to 256 Kbps. It does not change your originals unless you choose to delete and replace. Corresponding or downloaded files will be available to listen to or download on other devices.

    You can have a separate library that you do not use iTunes game or Apple's music. Read this tip user do and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only broadcast from the cloud.

    So you can keep iTunes library Match, separated from your library without loss. If you keep the game and Apple's music in a separate library is your decision. You do not have to match, but read this:

    Hi all. Trying to play WOT on my mac and can not find the game Center. Must have game center to connect on WOT Blitz. So, how do you get Game Center? Ive attached the picture of my version. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!!

    I know that Game Center has been removed since iOS 10. I think he has been removed from the Sierra as well.

    Are you absolutely certain you need to log in Game Center to connect to the game? Generally, Game Center just provided some extra features (sharing with friends, badges, stuff like that) but is not really necessary.

  • ALAC songs do not sync for iPhone

    7. more than 256 GB iPhone

    iOS 10.0.2

    10 Pro 64 bit Windows

    iTunes 12.5.1.21

    Because I have the 256 GB iPhone, my intention was to fill this space with music files without loss. Were rip CDs to the ALAC format using dbPowerAmp. Apple Lossless, default profile.

    I've tested this two days ago with just a few files and everything works great.

    Today, I'm unable to transfer these files to the iPhone during synchronization. I put all those I want in a playlist, then checked the as a playlist to sync with the phone.

    During synchronization, he dies in the first file to be copied. 'Copy 1 of 728...' and it just is there forever. I thought that maybe there was a problem with an individual file, I have so removed that out of the list, try to synchronize again, same result.

    At this point, sync just seems to "freeze". Hit the little 'x' to stop synchronization doing nothing. I need to unplug the phone so that it can synchronize.

    Have restarted the PC, phone rebooted but still get the same result.

    What could I do it wrong?

    Thank you

    Update - it seems to work now, but I deleted all THE music from the phone and started around. As I have now 10,000 songs to synchronize again, I hope I won't have to do it several times.

  • Bubble on 6s iPhone games?

    I was rearranging the games apps on my iPhone 6s when rather than pass next to each other, they went on top of the other, and a new folder (bubble) was created with the title 'games '.  Then when you try to move more games in this bubble, a new created bubble itself and is called 'social '.  And it has an application that is not a game.  I would get these games out of the 'social' bubble, then put them in the bubble 'games '.  I tried to jiggle in the thing, but these two bubbles jiggle.  I want to spend a bubble in a bubble 'social' apps 'games '.  How could accomplish this task? Also, I moved a bubble in the first page which is now very comprehensive, but unfortunately, I did not put the social bubble on the first page.  I wanted to move the bubble games, but confused.  Can someone help me with this question.  Do a Google search simply mentions doing the "thing of jiggle.  Do bubbles jiggle is not helped me to get out them of the bubble that was created.

    These "bubbles" are called "folders". You need to return the game out of the Social folder to the home screen and let go. Then, move it in the Games folder. You can also change the names of the folders if you wish. When the file is opened and all the icons are jiggling, the title of the file is editable.

    Good luck.

  • Games

    Since the new update, I have a few games that does not open now.  I know a game that I can't seem to open since an update about a year ago.

    What have you tried to see if that fixes it? You've tried the games via the taskbar of the iPad of closing and do a soft-reset/reboot of the iPad? The games have available updates? The developers of the games made it changes to make it compatible with iOS 9.3.5 (I guess that your slogan on your post is false, and you now have iOS 9.3.5 on your iPad 3)? Are there recent studies on the games pages of description in the store to mention similar problems? Have you contacted the developers?

  • car game

    After IOS10 my new JVC car game unit will connect is more after starting the car.  I have the phone plugged in before starting the car to make it work.  It worked well with 9.3.5 is very annoying.

    Hello Buckee,

    Please ask questions about your problem with your car radio JVC CarPlay after iOS 10 here in Apple Support communities. I understand how it is important to have my music with me while driving. I am pleased to offer you things to check this with you.

    The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup in iCloud or iTunes using this article: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Once you have your backup and you know that your data is safe, please open our articles help: get help to connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your car radio and implemented CarPlay to use with your iPhone.

    The first article has options to try if you are using a USB connection or bluetooth. The second article is for if you connect through CarPlay. In two articles, there is a step which States that you may need to consult the manual of your car to help install updates of firmware for your stereo. Since this issue started right after the upgrade, I think the stereo needs a driver or firmware updated so that it can work with the new version of iOS.

    Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

  • iTunes not allowing is not for me to change on the individual ALAC Album artwork titles

    Hello

    I just noticed that iTunes seems to have changed the work on some CDs that I had torn from the ALAC. The work is not correct, but if I try to change the individual work (by clicking info > work > removing the current work on the track > skip to the next track > and then return to the track > paste or add the correct artwork > click OK.) I then went back to the track (info > work) and the old work is still there.

    I use iTunes on a computer 12.5.1.21 laptop windows 10. I use iCloud and Match ITunes and Apple's music.

    I hope that someonecan give me a solution to solve this.

    I go and try to change the individual work (by clicking info > work > removing the current work on the track > skip to the next track > and then return to the track > paste or add the correct artwork > click OK.) I then went back to the track (info > work) and the old work is still there.

  • Why can't buy in-game items?

    Whenever I try to purchase an item in the game, it redirects me to www.apple.com/support/iTunes/ww.

    Ive tried to buy without any information entry and billing it after I got the error message saying I have the appropriate information, but who do not have.

    Ive also tried different ways to change the information on my card by deleting some parts, done pressing and filling, and then in the missing parts, but that did not work or the other.

    Ive tried a few other methods to solve this problem as waiting for servers to not be busy, but I tried my purchase in the game yesterday.

    I would be very happy to help or possible troubleshooting methods I've exhausted.

    It tells you that you should contact itunes support.

  • How can I convert my friends to the Game Center on Facebook?

    With the new iOS for my iPod & iPad, I lost all my friends Game Center.  I have two games that I play as I would like.  How can I convert my friends to the Game Center for Facebook friends?

    You do not have. They have two different systems. What you need to do is to start on. For example, if your game has a forum or support page, they may have a way for people to communicate to a friend. Or if they have a facebook page, they probably have a system for "I want to make friends."

    It is now up to the games themselves to put in place the means to a friend using iMessage. You will need to wait for your game to do.
