  1. Thank You facej, Isn't WAV format going to be the highest music quality? It was when I was working some 20 years ago on assembling a music library. Tell me about the ALAC format you mention.
  2. I will go to complete my question now as so many have been a perfect help here, I'm just about back to being completely into my music except for two major questions, and I need the step-by-step for the first question as I used to have some kind of 'ripping' software that converted my CD's into, mp3's I think, but the format that 'Music' will want so I can add my physical CD's to my library. CD's I have are some 'out of print' and no longer available for sale anywhere, and some are recordings done in Dublin, Ireland of the most talented Irish fiddling and music you could imagine, I have CD's of some of those, but what I need to know is how to 'RIP' or convert these CD's into files I can then add to Music. Some of my CD's, operas and such, come in multiple CD sets I would like to keep attached together somehow, CD 1, CD2, etc. Second question... forget the second question, the first question is so important I forgot what the second question was. Answer to first question will get me going and going good like I used to have this all set up in iTunes years ago. TIA, Ken
  3. Good to know and Thanks 'facej' as that's the version I have. Amazing what I've been missing out on as the loss of having my CD's available through this app, me not knowing I could still access my saved music files, I have some catching up to do... Thanks Again... Ken
  4. This is important to know. As it was, it simply looked like a window into the Apple store where you could sign up for music service and buy music from Apple but nothing more. The 'Import' feature is the key I was looking for and had no idea that a way to get back to my own ripped CD's was there. Now, for sound quality, my home stereo is much too 'soft' to clearly carry the music as it can be heard better through headphones. I'll need to re-vamp my home stereo or set-up to play music from 'Music' - Right now, the app 'Boom' is a good app to modify various frequencies by modifying through Boom's Equalizer. I'm always reaching for getting close to 'live' performance. Thanks des99 for your great help with this, Ken
  5. I think you are exactly right and now I'm better informed. This whole thread has been the greatest help I could have ever hoped for. Thank You analogika! I'll get there yet. Already I have my entire library salvaged and now on all of my Apple devices... how amazing is that!
  6. I'm actually making some progress on this today, thanks to help here. On the iPhone, the sound quality is good, but on the computer which is patched into a home stereo, it is like mush and I'll bet that is simply because of settings and needs tweaking. I'll keep messing with it, I think the sound files are all good and quality copies from the CD's I'll keep working on it and have high hopes for a good result. Thanks Again, Ken
  7. The day is ending on a good note. Thanks for the help here. I will wade myself through from here on now.
  8. It can be confusing. It helps to have 2 Macs "Manage your music on your devices with 'Music' much the same way." I'm there and have managed to re-load from an old library, now the album artwork is missing for some reason but the music is there. The sound quality is so poor it's enough to call it a wash and forget about music except for listening directly to CD's, which have the fidelity to be good quality sound. I'll thank again for help here and continue on, better off than when I first asked this question thanks to your help. Ken
  9. Thanks for input here. That's what I needed, from you who are 'in touch' with what music service is available today. Tremendous ideas and help here Thank You.
  10. Back in the day, there used to be Apple Music where you could RIP a CD into and MP3 format and be able to carry it with you on your phone or wherever you could store your library of music. NOW, things have gotten tougher, Apple Music no longer exists and Amazon music is 'locked in' to its own rules so really, my CD collection is a thing of the past. I have a music library I can no longer listen to and adding my collection of CD's today is, well... that's why I'm asking the question here. Logic Pro is still the foundation of everything to do with music and recording and publishing and so I ask. Is there a way, a process that I can follow today to bring my existing CD's and my library of ripped CD's back into use. I need help from those who know the ins and outs of how music can be preserved for personal libraries today. TIA, Ken
  11. Okay, Thanks for the great responses and help. At this point I will take a deep breath and read and study some more. It takes a solid resolve to work with LogicPro X.
  12. There is where I need help... exact steps, and maybe there is a YouTube video somewhere telling this process. how to bounce a MIDI track to a final AIFF... I had thought I was able to do this in the past, but trying this time yielded a flat-line AIFF file so no sound. So now, I have an AIFF format file with perfect sound but the friend I am sending this to wants an MP3 file and LogicPro does not export to an MP3 format. Do I need another separate audio program like Adobe Audition to convert the AIFF to the MP3 format? I can do this but just wondered if I'm correct in not being able to export to MP3 directly from LogicPro X. Thanks for help with this, Ken
  13. Okay... I get the Idea, I have a digital piano selected for the sound. I was able to export to an aiff file and now can hear the performance. I think what I did was to bounce in place and it made an audio track in the LogicPro project - then, with the audio track selected I was able to export to make an aiff file on disk.
