Re: How to import music?

I'm not how to transfer the music from itunes so it's just on the desktop (or a folder), but once you find a way to do that then click on the sounds tab and then click import, then just find the file. If you can't work out how to get the music from itunes to your desktop then maybe just rip the CD again.

Re: How to import music?

I've found out a way, but it's quite complicated. Basically, go to:
Computer>Local Disk (C smile >Users>Your computer username>My Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music
And then a list of artists will come up. Choose the artist, and then copy and paste it to the desktop. From there, you can import it using the method I said in my above post.
I hope you understand this!

Sorry, it automatically turned it into a face!
It's meant to say Local Disk ( C : )

Re: How to import music?

pretty sure the format itunes uses isn't compatible for scratch

or for most things really

you'd have to convert the music using a free tool or some other way

Th iTunes format isn't compatible with Scratch, you'll need to convert the file into something that Scratch recognizes (uncompressed .WAV or .MP3, respectively)

This link is a bit old, but it describes how to convert the files on iTunes into another formatsmile
