re: buttons. they've removed the visualiser one, haven't they? you have to turn it on from the menu (or keyboard shortcut) now.

-Am I the only person who has to switch on the browser thing for the iPod every time I connect it? The programe doesn't seem to remember that configuration
-For some reason I cannot turn on the "show duplicates" for the iPod library (it works for the main library though)
-although I checked the compilation box and the 'group by compilation', I keep see artists that are on compilations when browsing the iPod. How do I change that?
-the Skip count column: doesn't it keep track of songs skipped on the iPod?
― Baaderonixx in the year of the locusts (baaderonixx), Monday, 2 October 2006 08:52 (seventeen years ago) link
is it correct that indexing my files in the library (but NOT letting iTunes (dis)organise them, ever) the cover art is now stored in a separate database, and not in the ID3 v2.3 info itself?
if so - BRILLIANT!
if still risk of fux0ring/bloating my entire mp3 collection tag info - FUCK OFF!

Are you on a Mac? If so, yes, the Album Artwork gets its own folder in your iTunes Library folder. (I own both a Mac and a PC, but I've only used iTunes on the Mac.) This appears to be the case even if you let iTunes organise your files for you, which I do.

Really? Because I recently had to do backup-wipe-and-restore on my Mac (long story, not worth getting into), and none of my album artwork was visible until I replaced my new iTunes Library file with a backup...

Apparently, iTunes can interpolate displayed album art for the whole album even when, say, only the first track has an embedded image (though nothing is then physically added to the individual files), so it may also do this from the stored images in the artwork folder. I dunno. But it doesn't strip the image resource from the audio file when it builds the album art library. (I don't use the iTunes store to fetch album art, btw, so I can't speak to that.)

PC'ers try MP3 Tag and Rename (Even though I am mainly a mac user, I use that for tagging. Go to "edit all supported tag fields") and I am pretty sure Foobar (PC) can play these files back while displaying the desired info, although that is just what I have been told (I don't listen to stuff on the PC).
I have an old version of MP3 Rage for the mac but maybe the newest version supports this more "robust" level of level 2 tags. It is also possible that Audion does this too (for playback), though I haven't used it in years. I was hoping the Zune was going to try to cater to this protocol with their product but it certainly figures that they wouldn't.

I really can't figure out whether the fault lies with iTunes or my iPod, but The Game will just not show up under the 'Artists' list on my iPod. To hear any of his albums, I have to scroll through the 'Albums' list to find them by name. Seems to be the only artist this happens to. I've tried taking them off and reloading them several times.
Anyone ever encountered a similar problem?

may be tagged as a compilation

This happens on rare occasions, but boy is it annoying when it does. Compilation tags, huh? - will check.

WHAT????
iTunes will not let you add .wav format files to iPods anymore???//////////////!!!!!!!!!!!!
and not FLAC files either????????????????????????????????????????????///
*crying*
Not fair. Not fair. Not fair. Not fair. Fuck it all. I'll burn this shit to disc and take my boombox to bed with me. I hate you all. *baby crying* WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
My boombox is my pacifier, now. Seriously fuck this shit. You're telling me that in order to get my most fave music onto this stupid thing called an "ipod" (which I still call "my walkman") I have to compress the sound??? Shove it up your...
Okay I'll be quiet now.

it won't? that is weird. you should be able to to apple lossless though, no prblem and no audible compression.

I don't think iPods have ever played FLAC files, but I always figured WAV would work. You can still use Apple Lossless or AIFF.
― Millsner, Saturday, 1 November 2008 20:19 (fifteen years ago) link
Switch is handy sometimes in situations like this.
― Brad C., Saturday, 1 November 2008 22:31 (fifteen years ago) link
I meant that you should be able to do apple lossless, of course. wav works and has always worked. it works for me now. so unless bimble has a different ipod than I do, or something weird about his set up, then I don't know why it won't work.apple doesn't support flac
― akm, Sunday, 2 November 2008 15:01 (fifteen years ago) link
if it's your ipod that isn't accepting these, bimble, it might be because they're fucking huge. why are you using .wav files? they're like 10 times the size of a 320 mp3 at least. you won't be able to put many albums on an ipod if you have everything ripped as a .wav or .aiff.
