I just got back here and saw the posts about mp3/mp4 downloads. Thanks but I am not very good with all that tech stuff. My question is for some reason some of my mp3 downloads that I have go 'automatically to iTunes ' just sit in a file there that says 'not added' and I can't figure out how to get them into iTunes from this file so I can burn a CD. I really want a CD for each of these concerts. I was able to download for all the Adam/Queen concerts but I'm having trouble now. :-/ What version of iTunes are you using? Apple keeps changing the user interface of iTunes, so it helps to know the version number. And are you using iTunes on Windows or Mac? The instructions below are for Windows, but I would guess it would be the same on a Mac. If you do not see a "Menu Bar" that says " File Edit View" plus more near the top of iTunes, then look for a drop down icon in the very top left corner and select "Show Menu Bar". Or just hold done the "ctrl" key and press the "B" key at the same time and the menu bar will toggle on or off. On the Menu Bar, select "File", then either "Add File to Library" or "Add Folder to Library" depending on whether you want to add 1 file at a time or a whole folder full of files. In the pop-up file browser, navigate to the file or folder and select it. I think there may also be other ways. For example, I think you can drop and drag the file or folder into iTunes in some cases, but I've not found this to work always. |

Thanks Dancygeorgia I'll go over to iTunes and see what I can do. I appreciate everyone's information and help.
I use Windows for iTunes. They keep asking if I want to download the newest version but I haven't done it because the last time I did my WHOLE format changed and I had to go to Apple to help me because I couldn't find anything anymore. Damn....I don't like all the new updates because I just get comfortable and know what I'm doing then Poof...they change everything.

Hey -- I just noticed that the little gear next to the "quote" has a drop down menu which includes "back to top"!
Is there a way to bookmark an individual's post. I want to keep the MP3 and MP4 file format information. I guess I just have to copy/paste to Word?

Is there a Mod reading this? Just wondering if you could please move dancygeorgia's post with all the MP3/MP4 details into the tech thread so we can have it for future reference?

Thanks d anceygeorgia for the info. I generally understand it. Bottom line, I just want the best sound available. I only listen to music on the computer with good headphones or on a CD. For my purposes, the M4a downloads sound better. But I understand lots of people want the MP3s for their various devices. The M4a of Theaterian from Seoul sounds wonderful on a CD in my car. To me, the sound on both Norbik and scorpioberts downloads doesn't sound as good as the sound on the youtube video of Stay/Underneath, which I downloaded in HD720. I need to learn how to rip the sound, I suppose. I understand that we don't have the whole concert available in HD on youtube...only those 4 songs, so we're at the mercy of whoever recorded the audio of the whole concert. There are several things that make one audio better than another - the quality of the recording equipment/microphone, where the recorder is standing relative to the speakers and bouncing of the sound off the walls, the file format the audio is ripped from and to, etc. We don't have all these details for any of the audio files. So, just based on bit-rates, the audio from the Seoul videos is available in a higher bit-rate than the audio from Japan Day 1. The audio ripped from the Theaterian & Hermes K HD vides is 192 kbps. Terra has an improved version in 320 kbps which is a combination of the audio from Theaterian and Jlollol51244 (Hermes K). Not sure how she got the higher quality, but hopefully she was able to get the original files from the people rather than downloading from YouTube. You can find the file at her AdamWiki page:
www.adamwiki.org/wiki/2013-02-17_Seoul,_South_Korea There are many ways to rip the audio. Someone posted earlier in today's thread a very easy way for ripping mp3 from YouTube videos using a web site where you paste the YouTube link. I use several FireFox add-ons: Easy YouTube Video Downloader 6.7 (downloads M4A, AAC, MP3 128k, MP3 64k, all available video formats) Flash Video Dowloader Yourtube Downloader 3.8.2 (all available video formats, better file naming) Youtube MP3 Podcaster 2.7.9. (option for selecting MP3 bit-rate, video formats) ETA - you may need to copy & paste the above web address into a browser address field. Proboards seems to have a problems with the comma in the link name and is not picking up the whole web address. |
