Mar 29, 2016 This is just a quick How To Guide at importing your samples in to the new Garageband 10.1.0 version. How to Import Samples in the New Garageband Johnnie Mack. How to Load Samples into. In the finder, view the 'Package Contents' of your song document and navigate to the Media folder. Rename your existing AIFF song to the name of the file in the Media folder (ie: Recording#01.aif) and replace the audio file from step 1. Re-open your document in GarageBand. While MP3 is a flexible audio format, which can be shared or played in any device you want. It is very easy to convert GarageBand files into MP3 within iTunes as well. On the other hand, you can use a powerful GarageBand to MP3 converter like UniConverter, to export them over the internet, convert to any portable device or Burn to DVD with ease.

Uhhhh, that's a long way around. From <http://www.apple.com/garageband/hottips>:
Adding an Audio File from the Finder
You can add a loop or other audio file (in AIFF, WAV, or MP3 format) to a song by dragging it directly from the Finder to the timeline. You can drag the audio file either to a Real Instrument track or to an empty area below the existing tracks.
When you add an MP3 file by dragging it to the timeline, the file is converted to an AIFF file which is stored as part of the song.

It also said somewhere in there that you could drag it to a category, but when i do that, it complains that it is not in apple loops format.
anyone know how to format instrument loops in apple loop format?
is this something you can do with sound studio? or Soundtrack?
Additionally, i have found that there is a length limit in Garage Band.
since it is based on Soundtrack, and is much cheaper, this makes sense.
they dont' want you editing your entire movie soundtrack without plunking down for a little more.
Even then, you have to drag the end of track indicator in the top timeline view to the right, to add time to your track

Apple has a Loops SDK (ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/Apple_Loops_SDK_1.1.dmg.bin) which includes the 'Soundtrack Loop Utility.' This is what is needed to create 'Apple Loops'

nice, thanks!

This is not Windows. As a long time Mac user, my instinct was to drag and drop the AIFF file into the app. Of course, I was right.
No self respecting Mac application would behave differently.

I can't seem to import certain mp3 files. The ones that I can import seem to be no different from the other mp3 format wise. The bitrate, size, and length doesn't seem to matter. It seem Garage Band refuses to convert specific songs?

Rob,
This is a really bad hint!

How To Use Garageband

I had read this hint some time ago and used it and then seen the replies which correctly state you can drag and drop in garage band. I have however made good use of the original hint (viewing the package contents and finding the .aif files) as in this way I can use Garage Band to record live vocals, sax and other instruments then find the actual audio, edit it as needed in Audacity and then use it in Reason 3.0 (which DOESN'T record live audio). That way round I have access to dozens of tools not available in Garage Band. Garage Band will also rewire into Reason which is not documented anywhere but Garage Band is so resource hungry I prefer to do the above and get the audio into Reason. (On a 500 mhz power book I need every bit of CPU I can save). Of course all that would be better handled by me upgrading to Logic and getting a faster mac but this is the current poor man's fix.
