Re: a good CD ripper?
Hi, firstly: iTunes can ripp directly to mp3. Check the import settings and make your choices of the format etc. secondly: When you highlight tracks in iTunes, press CMD + i to open the information window. There you can rename chosen tracks. Afterwards it's also renamed in your library. I don't know of a real good CD ripper but you could try Max.

RE: Partitioning an external drive under mac os Lion with Voiceover
Yes thanks it is a great list here -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Daniel McGee Sent: 16 July 2012 22:46 To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Partitioning an external drive under mac os Lion with Voiceover Hello Andrew, very useful information for us Lion users. Thank you for sharing. Just as a side note. It might be good if you could send an email to Apple's accessibility address so they know about this problem. Daniel On 16 Jul 2012, at 22:04, Andrew Lamanche wrote: Dear listers, I thought I'd post my experience of partitioning an external usb drive under mac os Lion in case somebody else needed to do this in the future. I've bought a 1 TB external hard drive, and I wanted to partition it so that it has two different volumes. This is how I accomplished it in Mac OS Lion. I connected my USB drive to my mac. 1. Open Disk Utility (from the finder, shortcut key, command+shift+u), and then start typing disk utility to get there. 2. In the table of all available disks, find the disk you wish to partition. 3. Stop interacting with the table of your disks and move to the right through the available tabs until you've reached partition tab. Press vo+space to select it. 4. Move right to hear partition layout popup button. Here yo you can choose how many partitions you wish to have on your drive. In my case, I chose two partitions. 5. Move to the right. You will encounter a field that Voiceover reports as something like name text field. At this stage this field will be reported as dimmed which means that you cannot do anything with it. 6. Move to the right and yo you will hear scroll area. This is where it gets interesting. Remember, I chose to partition my external drive into two. 7. Interact with the scroll area. You will be able to navigate with vo+arrow keys here, and you will hear: untitled1 plus some info about the value of the default size of the partition and if you move right, you will hear horizontal splitter and then, untitled2 with the value of the default size of the partition. At this point, you can't do anything with these areas. However, in order to be able to name your partitions, you have to do the following steps. 8. While still interacting with the scroll area, place your Voiceover cursor on the first untitled area. If you have a mac that has a trackpad which by default is enabled with Voiceover, first disabled the trackpad commander with vo + rotor left. Voiceover will say trackpad commander off. Then bring your ouse cursor to the Voiceover cursor with vo+command+f5. Confirm with vo+f5 that you are on the untitled1 field and then physically click the mouse/trackpad. 9. At this point, Disk Utility got busy for me and I had to force quit it. To avoid this, after you had physically clicked the mouse pad, turn Voiceover off and then on again (don't rush the process), and then stop interacting with the scroll area and move left to the name text field. 10. You will notice, that now Voiceover announces name text field as untitled1 and it is not dimmed so that yo you can enter the name of your volume here. 11. After you are done with this partition, interact with the scroll area again, only this time move to the untitled2 and perform the same actions here as you had done with untitled1'. Then again, as soon as you physically click the trackpad, turn Voiceover off, and then turn it on again, and then stop interacting with the scroll area and move to the left to the name field where you can now enter the name of your second volume. I hope this will help some people on the list who have been struggling to partition their external drives.

Re: ogg to mp3 converter
You can just use iTunes to convert your ogg files but you have to install an ogg QuickTime plugin like this one: http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/download.html Unfortunately they haven't updated it in a while so if you're running a 64-bit OS you'll have to get info on iTunes and check the Open in 32-bit mode box. After that you should be able to keep ogg files in your iTunes library just like anything else. That also means you can use iTunes to convert the ogg file to another format.

help with ripping ddvds to external hard drive and playing them on itunes
Hi ok I really need some assistance i am getting in over my head with this stuff. so here is my situation I have a external harddrive that is hooked to my arrport extreme so I can access the content on my MBP. what I am trying to do is use rip it to rip my dvd collection and have it saved on my external HD I also want to be able to use Itunes on my MBP to play these movies . What I have been able to do so far is : I had ripped 3 movies previously to my Itunes library on my MBP and was able to play them just fine. searched on the web for how to move them to external HD , what I did was copy the movies folder from Itunes and pasted it on the external HD then went back and deleated the folder on my MBP . after this I could go to Itunes and if i went to play a movie it would say it could not located it and it would give you the option to find it , so I found it and could play it then from my ex HD but I would have to do that search every time . The way I read to solve this was to in Itunes delete the movies from the library since they were not linked to anything anymore. then with my wifes help opened opened the ex HD and dragged the movies folder while holding the option key and dropping it on the main Itunes window . the movies showed up and when I clicked on a movie it would play just fine and would be playing from the ex HD. so this was great , now the problem I have now is adding to that library. I changed the settings on ripit so when I rip a dvd it is saved in the movies folder on my external HD that I copied from my MBP . I was able to do this , however It doesn't seem to save it in the same format as the other previously ripped dvds and I am unable to get it to show up in my Itunes movies library on my MBP with the other movies . I can access the movie by opening my HD and selecting it and it will start playing using the dvd player which I guess is fine but this is not what I want to do . I am really trying to get it so I can use my apple tv to play movies stored on my externial HD . I know I can't do this directly I have to access the movies from the Itunes library on my MBP using my apple tv. sorry for the very long post If anyone has any ideas or is very good with Itunes stuff and external harddrives I could really use some help. thanks alot Jason PS I am using lion with a late 2011 MBP . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: help with ripping ddvds to external hard drive and playing them on itunes
Sounds like you're really close. I suspect you aren't doing the compress option on Ripit. The default for Ripit is to make an exact copy of the entire DVD onto your storage device which can then be played by DVD Player, since it's just a virtual DVD at that point. If you do the Compress button instead it will convert the rip to whatever you chose in the preferences. I suspect for your case you chose AppleTV since that's your eventual playback platform. I haven't played with this as much since I just have a MacMini hooked up to the TV and use DVDPlayer to play the videos.

Parallels is not accessible.
