iTunes ?

still, he can swivel.

by making sure the track number is entered in the id3 tag and sorting by track order

i dunno. i started my playlist thing back with iTunes v1 and i'm not giving up now :)

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

anyone know if the MP3 encoding has improved since v4.7?

am confused -- when u upload cd, are youse saying it now uploads album artwork with it?!

agree it's more crashy than whatever i had.

-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?

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!

-Is anyone else having the problem of iTunes crashing everytime it exits?

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

did you download software that will prevent you from listening to music from horrible artists? 'cause that might be the problem. just sayin'

Kevin, you are plannin' for a Suggest Bannin'

^^^ had been saving that one up.

okay, that was pretty funny.

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

Can one remove these "compilation tags"? -- hella annoying.

Uncheck in get info.

Check the Album Artist field.

that's always very annoying when you look everywhere to see what's wrong and it's usually that.

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.

VINYL REVOLT!!!!

WE, THE VINYL ARMY WILL CARRY RECORDS AS OUR SHIELDS AND STYLUS AS OUR SWORDS AND WE SHALL OVERCOME

fuck you i wont do what you tell me

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

what do you mean I should be able to "apple"? How do I "apple"?

okay wooohoo! I've added the Dif Juz gig in wav file form to my iPod! Woohoo!!!

No damnit! It still won't play!! I HATE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE

No seriously, I went through this with Echo & The Bunnymen before. It's a total scam. iTunes hell, iPod hell. Fuck you all. Just fuck you up the butt and go buy some fucking records.

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.

(Via Terminal of course.)
