Though GarageBand 11 announced to import MP3 audio file, sometimes we still encounter difficulty in importing MP3 to GarageBand in various situation:

• Situation 1
  • When I tried to drag and drop my MP3 files to GarageBand, the window came up that said importing... etc., but then the little box disappeared and nothing happened.
• Situation 2
  • I tried to import a MP3 into GarageBand, but GB hasn't recognized it. In My Songs menu, copy from iTunes says that there's no song available for the copy.
• Situation 3
  • When drag spoken word MP3 into the track or space of GarageBand, I see an 'importing' message for an instant, but nothing appears in the audio track and no new track is created.
• Situation 4
  • I can't drag MP3 audio files into GarageBand whatever from iTunes, from Finder, from the Desktop...
• Situation 5

How To Import A Song Into Garageband Iphone Onto

GarageBand only imports MP3 files which have the extension in lower case: '.mp3'. If you try to import MP3 files (like MP3 recorded from the Olympus LS-10) with the extension in upper case:'.MP3', GarageBand will refuse to import those kinds of MP3 audio.

Solution for Reason 1

In this case, change the MP3 file extension to lower case in order to import MP3 to GarageBand.

Though GarageBand allows importing MP3, it only supports those MP3 audio files which have a sample rate of 44.1 kilohertz (kHz) and a bit depth of 16 bits. MP3 files with a different sample ratemight play back faster or slower, or even fail to add to GarageBand.

Solution for Reason 2
