Need help with converting audio files


Victory Element

Recommended Posts

hello, its Victory. I'm not completely knowledgable when it comes to tech stuff like like, so i would really appreciate some help.

 

recently i purchased an 8gb micro SD card to utilize in my smartphone. my phone has limited internal memory, so i wanted to add memory space in order to store music on the device. I have always used itunes for music on my computer, but my smartphone runs on Android software. this is where i am running into trouble

 

As i have read on numerous websites, itunes files are almost always protected as a certain type of audio file (I believe it is mp4 or AAC). Anyways, i cannot copy any of my itunes-purchased music to SD card because of this. I have read, though, that it is possible to convert itunes audio files to an mp3 format so they can be easily moved to other devices. Itunes has an audio converter on its software already, but this has not worked for me, and i do not want to risk permenantly ruining the original quality of the music.

 

If anyone knows of any programs that can easily convert itunes audio files, it would aid me greatly. i need to get a playlist of about 750 songs on to the SD card (almost half of them are already mp3 format). Preferably free software too. If there is another method to do this, please let me know as well

 

 

*i have already tried using doubletwist and tuneclone converter, but i have not been able to use either of them the way i need to

Might take a while but use this, it works really well. Doesn't support YouTube conversions anymore but that's not what you're using it for anyway. That's just something I'm mad at

the program you gave a link to needs a URL to convert something. I need to convert files that are already in my itunes library

Audacity can load many types of files and export them again.

 

But sometimes, mp3 is the file source that iTunes can use..... In any case, I suggest audacity. It's a free program, google it. Also mp4 is a movie......

 

Mp4 is also the format that iTunes uses for its purchases. I don't really know how it works but that's how it works

Use WinFF, I always have problems since the people I work with sometimes sends a file that's not compatible with Adobe Audition or Audacity.

It's a good free video and audio converter.

Ok, well I think that I actually figured this out on my own. To start, almost half of my library consists of free mixtapes that I downloaded from soundcloud. So I separated all of those from the iTunes purchased songs because they were already mp3. Then I gave the converter on iTunes another shot, and it seemed to work.... But here is where I get confused....

 

When I tried to originally drag a playlist from iTunes into the SD card, it would pop up with an error message and it just wouldn't work. When I tried dragging groups of individual songs, they transferred right to the SD card, even the ones that were not in mp3 format! I'm not exactly sure how that appears to work now, but I checked and the musics plays just fine on my phone too.

 

I appreciate the help from you guys though. Thank you very much
