ITunes to Apple Lossless Format Question for 12.5.1.21

I recently repaired my Windows 10 64-bit OS and reinstalled iTunes (current version 12.5.1.21).  I noticed that you are no longer able to select a song file and store it as Apple Lossless file when right click on iTunes.  I found a choice in the 'Settings' menu that allows you to import songs in this format, but when I select "Add files to library" in the menu song file is not stored/converted to the Apple Lossless Format and remains in its original format of MP3.

Is it possible on this issue and why it is no longer available as an option when you work with the individual as file before?  Don't know what the thinking was behind it.

The functions Add a file/folder to the library have never included format conversions, the support files will always be added to your library in their original format.  If you select Apple Lossless as the default format for the import of CD, there will be a menu option (file > convert > create Apple Lossless version) you can use to perform such a conversion after importation (you'll end up with additional items in your library, the original files and those converted).  However, if your original files are mp3s it is absolutely unnecessary to convert them into Apple Lossless - you will get only the larger files with no improvement in audio quality.

    That is right. The requires iTunes 12.3.3 and in order to get it, you will need to update OS X to El Capitan. That's how Apple has created for better or worse, I'm sorry.

  • Should I keep subscription iTunes Match if I subscribed just for Apple music?  Why I have so much need?

    Not sure if it makes sense to keep two subscriptions because I understand that with Apple music you download iTunes game.  Is this correct?

    Music to Apple and iTunes game are very different.

  • Apple lossless to MP3 conversion

    Hello

    I want to get a selection of my music on a USB key, so I can plug my car stereo.  There used to be an option converted to MP3 in iTunes, but Apple seems to have removed slyly. .  Grrr.  So please can someone tell me how I can do to get a load of music, for most Apple Lossless, on a USB to MP3 format for long journeys.  I used my iPod Classic in stereo, but USB would be much more convenient.  Thank you.

  • What is the best; AIFF or apple lossless

    Hello

    I have two questions, so needing help.

    1ST QUARTER

    As an experiment, I down installed a CD of music twice in the same folder in the iTunes media > music > compilation > folder. In the folder are two files, namely, .aiff and .m4a (apple lossless encoder selected encode). .Aiff files are bigger than the .m4a files. Which is the best codec for any game on HD TV (1080 p) via the 4th generation Apple TV.

    Q2

    I installed some music CDs into iTunes and in Adobe Bridge, the file is the following: iTunes > pouch > iTunes Media > music > compilation > records (1-10). I then created manually 3 new main folders, list them as A, B and C. I moved manually records 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the main folder; records, 5, 6 and 7 in the main B folder and; files, 8, 9 and 10 in the main C file. The titles of each main folder are the same, but, year and different venues.

    However, all installed files are listed one after the other in the main iTunes window with 1) albums (top right) and (2) drop-down list) the selected title. I have a total of 200 musicals I want to load into iTunes. In the iTunes window, all 200 albums will be listed and the page will be long with the scrol bar becomes small. How can I create the same arrangement of the album in the iTunes window as I in Adobe Bridge. How can I create a main album and then transfer 1, 2, 3 and 4 in her albums. To do the same for the main Albums B and C in iTunes. I do it the right way or y at - it another way. Any help will be appreciated.

    Robin

    Unless you need to play the tracks on something that supports AIFF, but not Apple Lossless and then use Apple Lossless. The audio quality is the same, Apple Lossless is smaller and has the support of several field labels.

    iTunes does not care where the files are located, it only reads the metadata. If you want to do comparison tests add anything meaningful to each version of an album, for example [AIFF], [ALAC], Album Album Album {MP3 - 256 k] etc.}

  • After Effects CS4 and conversion in a lossless format

    I posted in the forums Adobe Premiere about a problem I had with my renders. If you want to read, then you can check with the following url.

    http://forums.Adobe.com/message/2622969#2622969

    What I realized is that After Effects doesn't like my AVCHD files I receive from my camera. (They are a h.264 and m2ts file type MP4)

    The problem is that I get "echos" or jump when I give something back in After Effects or return with Media Encoder via links dynamics and Premiere Pro CS4.

    I'm not familiar with is types of files that a lot of you who are more expereinced that I use for After Effects when you must convert to a lossless format (or as close as you can get to be "Lossless".

    I was wondering if someone could recommend the types of files should I be convert and if you have a good method to convert. Not that I want people to discuss other software here, but if you use not Adobe programs to convert, so what types of files you convert to?

    In other words, where do recommend you I begin reading or research on this because a large number of companies sell conversion programs. I currently have one I paid for, but it does not work I need to do to the HD. I want to keep as close as possible HD quality.

    FYI, usually, I'll do the video with green screen effects in After Effects. My output is video. If you have any other questions about my process, then feel free to ask me questions. Other than that, have I appreicate any advice.

    Yes, of course, there are better days for QT and recent versions are UM pretty - ho (Apple simply does not know how to make good software PC, if you ask me), but at least it offers a few options widely accepted codecs, which is somewhat important not only for your own reading, but at the latest when you need to share with other artists. AVI Windows own offerings are severely limited in this regard, literally leaving only uncompressed or ELA MS for intermediate workflows. It is if you do not have the commercial CoDecs like Cineform, do not want to get into the tumultuous waters of free CoDecs like HuffYUV and Lagarith or do not like AJA capture cards with their own set of CoDecs...

  • ITunes and Apple's music

    Hi all

    Forgive me if this has already been answered, but I was a search and could not find a conclusive result.

    I plans to sign up for music Apple once again but am still concerned with questions for several months there are of mixed titles, names, and others.

    Basically, is it now safe to active again, or will it spoil everything again?

    My music is a mixture of ripped CD, downloads from other sites and music from iTunes.

    I appreciate any response.

    Correspondence bad (when you listen to your library to other computers and devices) is still there, although it seems to be getting better. Initially, I used a smaller version (approximately 22 000 titles) of my complete library (50,000), which was on the iMac to my wife and all the ill-matched problems known. When they raised the limit of 100 000 titles, I decided to use the entire library. I have everything first remove all tracks used originally to iCloud music library and then used the entire library (AFTER DOING A FULL BACK UP). What's on my main library looks very good. When I listen to on our another computer or my iOS devices, the errors (incorrect and badly matched version work) is still there. It might have something to do with not a total reset of the ICML or a completely new library, but it is always the case. But I also added a Springsteen album that I downloaded from another site and who seemed to have no problem with mapping.

    So, to answer your question - not all the questions have not yet been set, but are improving. I would like to save your music files AND the files of your iTunes files before doing anything.

  • Question for Microsoft Support; I have a huge amount of music files .m4a that I can not play on Windows Media Player?

    Question for Microsoft Support;
    I have a LARGE amount of files music .m4a in a storage drive stand alone that I downloaded from an old Apple computer have more possession of. I can't understand how to enter these data into my old Emachines computer Windows Vista run the Media Player program. I tried to copy a few files m4a manually in the file Media Player Music folder, but they do not play. I'm not really all that computer savvy and know only the basics, I need to use my computer really. Can you give me some step by step instructions how to get these converted files or whatever it is I need to do to get them to play and to integrate properly into my library if it is possible? If this isn't the case, I'll have to go out and buy a new Apple computer for my 60 GB music collection. In the past, that I've never had no real problem shooting files to leave this computer based Vista and convert these files to my old computers Apple Itunes Player. So what's the problem with your system of guys that done anyway this such a pain in the butt? I would really like to understand what exactly is happening with this issue? It's very frustrating for me. I'm a finish Carpenter not a computer programmer. Such things should not be so difficult for someone like me to understand. All I intend to buy a really nice computer, probably in the summer and was considering a Microsoft based computer. But if this kind of problem will be spread with Microsoft products, so maybe I should reconsider. help you can offer to alleviate this problem will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    According to research on the Internet, Windows Media Player, atleast this is version 11 (included in Windows Vista and available for Windows XP SP2 +) cannot play Apple loseless type .m4a audio files without having to install any codecs.

    If you want to use Windows Media Player, you can follow the instructions mentioned here to install the necessary codecs and plugins.

    (In the related instructions above, in the first step talks about codecs - your .m4a files are files Apple loseless then follow the party referred to in the first stage about Apple loseless .m4a)

    Personally, I prefer using alternatives to Windows Media Player rather than installing codec packs.

    If you don't want to install codecs, download no matter what media player from "programs that open. M4A files"- Windows category list on this page.

    If you use a spare player - VLC Media Player is my choice.

  • music iTunes and apple screen problem

    Hello! This is my problem:

    music both itunes and apple for this. in the homepage of itunes, it will not show the scroll bar and the picture above is the page go. I dealt with this problem for a while. It is not a problem of update because this has happened during my last update (I 12.5.1). I tried to see if anyone else has this problem, but I couldn't find it at all.

    Thank you!

    This could be linked to the UI, DPI problem in 12.5.1.21. If your display is set to something other than 100%, the user interface is really messed up. If you can hold the tiny icons and microscopic text, then set your display to 100%, and the user interface will look 'normal '. This isn't a fix or a resolution, but it is a workaround.

  • Is - this ID apple asking to pay for fake netflix?

    I am very worried seeing email as it seemed legitimate. But e-mail doesn't look good for me, because usually there are things like [email protected] (just an example).

    The address is: [email protected]

    I never signed up for netflix, and no one has access to my account or apple ID.

    Anyone able to verify that this is false and relieve my concerns?

    Thank you.

    This is a phishing attempt, trying to get the details of your account and payment (Netflix membership is a common enough) - you can transfer to Apple: [email protected] and then delete him.
