offtopic - new Itunes doesn't convert to MP3

offtopic - new Itunes doesn't convert to MP3

2008-09-19 by GAmoore@aol.com

I just updated Itunes, and seems that the preference for converting 
selections to MP3 is now removed - it used to be under the "advanced" pane of itunes. 
There is still the option to convert to AAC.

By the way, I recorded a live concert using an Olympus LSq10 then put the 
files in logic for eq, compression, stereo spread, and limiting and they really 
sound great.

It's now in the General tab under "Import settings".

Best,

I think it stands for Apple Audio Codec. I think that the MP3 licencers 
wanted too much in royalties, so Apple designed their own answer to MP3 - much like 
Apple and Microsoft did when Adobe controlled the Postscript font technology, 
so they developed Truetype together as an answer.

This is probably a no-brainer, but I'm new to Logic and can't figure this out.  Is there a way to read a .mp3 or .wav file into Logic?  (One that was created elsewhere - specifically Cubase).  So that I can then edit it as if it were an audio file?

I think that functionality is only in L8.  Just add an mp3 file from  
the Audio File menu in the audio bin,  like you would any other type,  
and logic automatically converts it to whatever default type you have  
specified in prefs.

you might try drag and dropping the Mp3 onto the arrange page and   have in 
it imported that way too.

I for one would rather convert them to .wav format right away as  
playing MP3s increases the CPU load quite noticeably.

Best,

iTunes does convert to MP3,
they moved it around on us
go to
iTunes>Preferences>General tab,
Towards the bottom is says "When you insert a CD..." next to that  
there is an "Import Settings button,
Click that and choose your MP3 resolution you want,
press OK
then back on the advanced tab you'll see "create MP3 version", if you  
want AAC
(Advanced Audio Codec)
follow the previous steps and switch import settings to your flavor of  
AAC
Good
Luck
Ciao
Gio
