Problems with CD Spin Doctor (Mac) conversions to iTunes 10.3

I have been converting all of my old vinyl to CDs for well over a year using CD Spin Doctor 6/Toast 10 to download, filter and edit the tracks. Then I would "Send All Tracks to iTunes" in MP3 format. Up until this week, I could play back each track in iTunes (10.3.1) exactly they way I had edited it.


Now, after the tunes are sent to iTunes and try to play them back, all I hear is the raw, unedited audio for the duration of the edited track time instead of the "correct" audio.


I have reinstalled both CD Spin Doctor 6/Toast 10 and iTunes 10.3, but the problem remains. I want to try to download iTunes 10.2.8(?) for Mac, since I did not have the problem using that version, and I suspect that but I cannot find that old version download for macs.


I can hear the proper edited audio in Spin Doctor, but not in iTunes.


Help!

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Toast 10/Spin Doctor 6/ITunes 10.3

Hi

I had exactly the same problem

This happened following the latest upgrade of itunes (I think) as the stuff I transferred to itunes before the last upgrade was OK

I have had several upgrades and I'm not sure exactly what was installed and don't know how to check.

I know I'm running on itunes 10,4 Toast 10,0,8 and CD Doctor 6,1,2, but in the applications folder for CD Spin Doctor it gives creation date of 16 dec 2009 and modif date the same, so it looks like I'm on the same version as before?


How can this be fixed, by whom, etc? Is it worthwhile trying to reinstall Toast from the original CD? Probably not as I have had upgrades since then


Is it an issue with itunes or with toast titanium?

To be honest, I didn't reinstall Toast. I did, as well as I rolled back iTunes 10 to version 9 as I was suggested by Roxio (still having CDSpinDoctor 5 installed) and it changed nothing. By Apple I was advised to upgrade CD Spin Doctor, because of a possible incompatibilty. After all, I think it's a bug thing in CD Spins Doctors CDAudioCaptureSupport-file, which can't be installed properly on my system. Well, I'm now waiting for a reply from Roxio support...

I don't know about your status but there's one possibility to transfer tracks from SpinDoctor as long as Roxio is working on this problem:


- You have to drag the active tracks in SpinDoctor to Toast's convert window.


- There you click the red button to convert the selected tracks choosing e.g. format "for iTunes (only Tone)".


- In iTunes you import the tracks to its library. The meta data must be changed manually.


This works fine with me with iTunes 10.4 (not the latest update) or 10.2.

I have a similar issue complicated by Spin Doctor not being able to record, or add capture support under Lion. So I re boot to Snow Lepoard then I can capture audio but have the same issue with importing to iTunes, what I did was burn a CD from Toast then import the files to iTunes after re booting to Lion.

Do other people have an issue running CD Spin doctor in Lion?

Similar Problem here. I have upgraded to mountain lion and the current Itunes on my mac mini. I purchased Toast 11 with SpinDoctorX. Noticeable absent was a user manual for SpinDoctorX. SpinDoctorX plays music files I open. However when I open itunes to record music from my computer the operating system crashes. Repairing permissions did not solve the problem. I have used Toast products for quite a few years. However the recent new products have been full of bugs and problems as the MAC operating system has been upgraded. You can forget about technical support from Roxio. It is essentially non-existent. I do a lot of vinyl LP conversions and have liked the graphics unit interface. However I cannot wait for Roxio to fix their problems. I must turn to another software package that is not as user friendly as Toast/SpinDoctorx but works.

I have Titanium 11 and the most recent Spin Doctor - as of yesterday (auto update), and a mb pro with Mountain Lion.


iTunes (most recent) was working great, no problems. Then I installed Toast Titanium 11 and began using Spin Doctor. The interface is great, and it imported my .aiff files fine....but when I saved my working file as the native Toast format....the file wasn't there! I tried twice - no file! when I save as an .aiff file the file is there but no song separations. Just the long .aiff file. And when I play the tracks the arrow doesn't move but the track keeps playing and I can't pause it, so it keeps going.


Then I got frustrated and quit SD, I booted iTunes and got the error 'The iTunes library (name) is locked and you don't have the permissions to change the files' or something like that! This didn't happen until I installed Roxio....for only one hour!


Anyone else??
