Re: Convert Mixtapes To MP3s
Ayana Munsen
I have a large library of CDs ripped to alac which I use as my main music library. I'd like to convert a copy of this library to vbr mp3 for portable devices, however I don't want to have to do this on my laptop, as there is approximately 650Gb of music and I travel to much to leave my laptop sitting for the time it would require to convert my whole library. My friend has some server space (running Debian Squeeze) he is willing to lend me for a week or two to power through converting my library. What would be the best utility or way to go about this. For single songs or single albums I just use something like
You can also use -iname instead of -name in the find command, to get case insensitive matches (so it'll pick up all *.mp4 and *.MP4, and all the case variations). Also, -ac 2 is not strictly required in the second version; MP3 can only support a maximum of two channels anyway, so ffmpeg will automatically convert audio down to two channels if it needs to, which will avoid you adding an extra pointless channel to any mono audio you may have.
My new car has a Cassette player. I just order a cassette to 3.5mm aux converter, however, I think it'd be cool to make a bunch of cassettes to play from. I'd like to make my own, since I have a particular taste in music, what's the cheapest way I can accomplish this (while maintaining decent quality)? Thank you!
You can convert a song to a different file format (and keep a copy of the original). For example, you can save a copy of a compressed song file such as MP3 or AAC in an uncompressed song format (AIFF or WAV).
I HAVE THE ANSWER ! go to the online program MP3CONVERTER (cloud converter) and load the problem mp3. RECONVERT IT TO MP3, and the converted version, which looses no quality, will immediately play in itunes/apple music, and can now be moved into your songs list, or favorites folder. THIS IS IT FOLKS!
If none of them work, Music may think the file is corrupt (and yes this can happen even if other players can play it OK). In that case you can either go back to the source and let them deal with the problem, or use a third party program to convert it to a different format such as WAV or AAC.
This is amazing--I can access it but I still can't figure out how to use it. I tried to convert one file but the Convert button stayed grayed out. I download MP3 interviews from radio programs that used to come as MP3's that I could drag to my Sansa Clip. However, now how do I know what format they are in--I do not see it identified anywhere. I am spending so much time on this! Thanks for your support.
Haven't used iTunes in a year or so. I used to be able to convert files bought from iTunes store to MP3 format so I could load them onto my MP3 player. That option is no longer available on the current version of iTunes. Researched the Help files, but after digesting them found a note at the bottom that said the solutuions provided won't work with music purchased from iTunes Store!!!
Any music bought from iTunes since the beginning of 2009 should be DRM free. Set your desired import settings in iTunes via Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings..., e.g. MP3 Encoder > Custom... > 256 kbps, then select the songs you want to convert, right-click and select Create MP3 Version.
iTunes allows you to rip CDs in a number of formats. Use Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings to choose which format and bitrate you desire. (Start with iTunes instead of Edit if you're on a Mac). Anything purchased from the iTunes Store will be delivered in 256k AAC, regardless of your preferred import format. You cannot change that, but you can convert the format afterwards if it is necessary. E.g. you want to copy the tracks to a media player that doesn't support AAC. The script I mentioned earlier can be used to convert tracks from one format to another without having to manually tidy up the duplicates that otherwise get created when you use iTunes to make a copy in a new format.
The option to save/convert to MP3 format does not come up on my pop-up menu; it shows up on the file menu. But when I use it, it does not convert the file. It says, the song "could not be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats."
So why not digitize them? Not only will converting your vinyl records to a digital music format preserve that rare Beatles U.K. first pressing you're afraid to take out of its sleeve and protect it from further wear and tear, but you'll also have portable versions of your favorite records, including those you just can't find on streaming services, for you to enjoy anywhere.
Transferring your precious platters from grooves to sound waves is easier than you might think. From USB turntables and digital audio converters to the various software options and how to use them, we'll take you through all the steps you need for going digital in this article.
Lastly, however, if you wanted to go one step further and are concerned with having more control over the input and sound quality, you should consider connecting your turntable to a stand-alone analog digital converter (ADC), such as the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, which has a higher quality of digital conversion and connects to your computer via USB. You can even use it for recording your own music, podcasts, or anything else you want to connect to it.
There are definitely more ways than one to convert your records to digital format, including other recording software such as GarageBand, Pro Tools, and Logic, but we wouldn't suggest using these unless you're experienced with them. For our money (free!), Audacity has proven over the years to be the best and easiest way to do this. If you have little extra money to spend, Vinyl Studio is a bit easier and is dedicated to ripping vinyl, but the process is basically the same. Plus, you can try it our free first, with some saving restrictions. Happy converting!

Datpiff is an online distribution platform that specializes in hip-hop, rap, and urban music. It's the authority in free mixtapes. It allows you to upload your mixtapes and videos which can help you spread your music and reach more fans. So it would be artists' top priority to upload their mixtapes on Datpiff.
Posting a mixtape on Datpiff is much simpler years ago. All you had to do is creating an account and starting uploading. But now things have been changed. Datpiff now has paid more attention to release more "exclusive" mixtapes from mainstream artists in order to improve its brand. So now if you want to upload mixtapes on Datpiff as a new user, it will take much time than before.
If you are a new user, you need to create an account at first. If you already have an account, you might already have the "upload permissions" on your account (This depends on how old your account is). If you have Datpiff's account for a long time, you are still able to upload mixtapes to Datpiff despite its changes. So if you are a new user, please keep reading.
You have to upload your mixtape in MP3 format and with a zip file. Datpiff does not accept mixtapes in any other format but MP3. Note that each song should be uploaded individually and after it's uploaded, you are able to re-arrange them in the order you like.
This audio converter enables you to convert any audio files to MP3 format or other formats with ease. Therefore you can convert your mixtapes in other audio formats to MP3 before uploading them to Datpiff, or convert the downloaded music on Datpiff from MP3 format to other audio formats for portable devices. Aiseesoft Video Converter Ultimate offers many default output settings for iPhone/iPad/iPod/Apple TV, Android devices, Samsung devices and other popular devices.
If you want a more powerful application that specializes in converting vinyl to digital, you could try Pure Vinyl, which has been designed specifically for the task. This makes the process easier, as it has some nice features such as automatic pop and click removal and track splitting. It is expensive, however, at $379/300/AU$556, which means it is probably only of interest to people with huge vinyl collections.
