A Few Tips about using iTunes to import audio files

"With the iPod, you will need to use iTunes to sync up the library that's on the iPod with what is on your computer. Simply download the standard MP3 to the desktop. From there, open up iTunes, drag and drop the sermon into the main pane of iTunes (or you can open it from the File menu) and then just sync the iPod. Just as easy as that. "

You can choose to use different audio formats for any track that you import from CD. iTunes lets you convert your music to MP3s at high bit-rate for no additional charge. Using AAC or MP3, you can store more than 100 songs in the same amount of space as a single CD. You’ll get the full quality of uncompressed CD audio using about half the storage space. You can copy music in this format onto your iPod or iPod mini, to take perfect audio wherever you go. You don't necessarily have to convert to the AAC, you can leave it as MP3 and it works fine on the iPod, iPod mini or iPod shuffle.

iTunes can import music from Windows Media Player, MusicMatch and any other app that uses MP3, AAC or WMA (unprotected). iTunes 4.5 will now convert files digitized by Windows Media Player in unprotected format to AAC, so you can use them in iTunes or on iPod. When you import your MusicMatch library or other MP3 collection, you can choose to let iTunes make a copy of the library, or point to the old files.

When you import your own music CDs into Windows Media Player, by default the software copy protects your music so you can’t move your music anywhere else, such as iTunes. You should turn this off:

1. Choose Options from the Tools menu
2. Click on the Copy Music tab
3. Uncheck the Copy Protect Music box
4. Now Windows Media Player will save any music you import from CD as Unprotected.
