Audio From iTunes Messed Up

Post by notaek » Sun May 09, 2010 7:50 pm

Whenever I import audio from iTunes, Audacity turns it into a track that is about .1 to 1 millisecond long. How do I lengthen it to its original length?

It depends a little on where the music came from. Is it purchased from the iTunes store? If it is, it may still have FairPlay copy protection on it. If that's the case, you can create an iTunes playlist with the song in it and burn the playlist to a Music CD. You'll need to get a blank CD-R for this.

Change iTunes CD Import Preferences to WAV Encoder and import the song. That song should open in Audacity perfectly.
