How do I convert my audio files to the correct format?

Follow these instructions to convert your audio to 16 bit, 44.1 kHz, stereo WAV files in iTunes before you upload to MusicDigi:

1. Open the iTunes application on your computer.
2. Search for your song(s) in your iTunes Music Library and highlight it (do this by clicking once on the song).
3. Go to Preferences (On a Mac, this is under the iTunes drop-down menu. On a PC, iTunes Version 10 or older, this is under the Edit drop-down menu. On a PC, iTunes Version 11, this is under the square icon on the top left of your iTunes window).
4. Once you’ve clicked Preferences, make sure you are on the General tab. Go down to where it says Import Settings (if you have an older version of iTunes, you may have to click where it says Advanced and then click on Import Settings).
5. Change Import Using to WAV Encoder. Then click to change Setting to Custom and a new window will open.
6. In the Custom window, change the Sample Rate to 44.1 kHz and Sample Size to 16 bit. Make sure Channels says Stereo and Stereo Mode says Normal. Then continue clicking OK until you are back to your iTunes library.
7. With your song title(s) still highlighted, right-click and select Create WAV version. Your song(s) will immediately begin converting. If you have a newer version of iTunes, you may need to go to File, click Convert, and then select “Create WAV Version.”
8. Once the song has finished converting, you will see that the highlighted song(s) is the old version. We recommend you drag the newly converted file(s) (not highlighted) to a folder on your desktop directly from the iTunes library so you can easily find it later.

If you’re using an audio converting website or other non-professional software, we recommend re-converting your file in iTunes afterwards. This ensures the file meets proper audio specifications for distribution and avoids hidden coding issues that can cause files to be rejected by digital stores.
