NO.

for real now....decode the stuff to your desktop THEN drag all the files into iTunes....whatever titles each file has will remain. you can change the titles in iTunes if you like.

Stoli

It tells me this,

You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long for the destination.Do you want to skip copying these items and continue copying the other items?

Dean

[daddyray]

if the destination is the desktop then there shouldn't be an issue.....perhaps shorten the file names before decoding?
Stoli

And also I can get the file to another location but I can't move it to my external hardrive were my music is kept.

dig this:

if "Track1.flac" makes the file name (which includes the path) too long, you probably need to move your iTunes folder. Put it in the root or something.

Just move it and see if it works.

or don't.

Doesn't work. It's almost like the file won't open correctly to be moved or transfered. I can't even change the location name.

do you know any 12yr olds that could help you out? they are good with this itunes stuff

Restart the Mac.
Click on one of the flac files, rename it "ABC.flac" or anything short like that.
In the FINDER, Duplicate it using (command D) or menu FILE to Duplicate and drag the copy to the desktop.

Then open xACT and decode it to a wav or aiff on the desktop.

If that doesn't work download XLD which is something like xACT and try again.

Good luck & I hope you figure it out, but now that we know your name, please don't pull a....
