Hi! I am trying to import a music file which has the following characteristics:
– 320 Kbps
– 2 Channels Stereo
– Sample rate of 44 Hz

It’s a 5 minutes with 11 MB of size song but iTunes does not recognize it at all!

I tried drag and drop, importing through the “Add File to Library” features and nothing…

Has this ever happen’d to anyone?

THANX SO MUCH ‘ADMIN’!
It works OR rather…appears now in the ADVANCED drop down when i change(d) it in iTunes prefs!

You first need to go to iTunes preferences | General | Import Settings and chose AIFF as what you want to use, then ‘create AIFF version’ will appear in the advanced menu.

Why can’t latest iTunes 9.0.2 convert MP3 files to AIFF
files anymore(from the ADVANCED drop down menu)?
OR am i missing it somewhere?

Hello, and thank you for all the info. Just wondering how LAME compares to Apple Lossless or WAV formats? Looking for the best quality of course and have noticed a lot of of downloadable music is Lossless, and those are both already available on iTunes. Would it be worth it to aquire LAME? Thanks
