GarageBand is an audio creation and editing software. It also lets you import video files, allowing for a more comprehensive sound designing experience, particularly compared to video editors such as iMovie. The ability to add background tracks to your film, layer different audio files (e.g. Sound effects), and create scores using Royalty Free Apple Loops opens up endless new possibilities. On your computer, add the audio or MIDI files you want to import to the GarageBand File Sharing area in the Finder. In GarageBand on your iPad, set the length of the song section to Automatic to import the entire audio or MIDI file; otherwise, only the portion of the file. To import the entire song, set the length of the song section to Automatic; otherwise, only the portion of the song that fits the current song section is imported. To get a list of tracks, tap the Tracks View button. Tap the Loop Browser button in the control bar, then tap Music.

Overview
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
- I recorded a very small piece of sound in MP3 format and try to import it to GarageBand for editing. However, GarageBand refuse to add MP3 audio and says 'xxxx.mp3' could not be handled becauseGarageBand cannot open files in the 'MP3 audio' format.
Reason 1 and Solution for can't Import MP3 into GarageBand
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.
Reason 2 and Solution for GarageBand won't Import MP3 Audio
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
To successfully import all kinds of MP3 to GarageBand for OS X or GarageBand for iOS, a recommended solution is to convert MP3 to GarageBand more compatible AIFF.
