What apple ought to do w/iTunes is set a tag definable at the beginning of a ripping/uploading/dragging-and-dropping session (and defaults to null again once iTunes is closed) that remembers the name of the person doing it. Then Smart Playlists for multiple users' iPods would be EASY PEASY.

you guys should just drag stuff into yr ipods srsly

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:32 (seventeen years ago) link

that is somewhat tedious

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:35 (seventeen years ago) link

naw it's fun

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Can't you just use one of the star ratings for stuff you want on the ipod, ed? Mark them all one star or similar. Or tag them.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 12:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Then I'd have to tag things and change the tags every time I wanted to change the contents of the iPod, why not use the existing tags and create a ruleset around them?

WTF i ran the "get album art" "feature" and it removed ALL OF THE EXISTING ALBUM ART ON MY MAC! for instance my album-art screensaver now tells me "you have no iTunes songs with album art"!!!!

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:06 (seventeen years ago) link

One of the rule sets is longer even than my 23" cinema display at work (is there any way of going into portrait mode?)

Use multiple smart playlists chained together by using membership in some playlists as a criteria for others!

Well, it only did what you told it to do. Maybe you should have created a smart playlist with all itemss missing art in it.

I want a fuggin' scroll bar that's all.

windows version of new itunes is a dog, if you have a massive 100GB library. unbearably slow and awful, what is it even doing when it's "determining gapless playback"? it's hanging on my talk talk albums for 10 minutes a track.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:27 (seventeen years ago) link

haha massive 100GB library noob

you mean like 98% of my mp3s?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:36 (seventeen years ago) link

that sucks - sure it didn't just move them?

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:37 (seventeen years ago) link

actually, jon, i don't understand why iTunes should remove album art for songs already having it, or why it should not find any album art for any of the other songs? are you saying it's my fault because i wasn't aware that the function was not, uh, functional?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:37 (seventeen years ago) link

also you have toned down obviously but you are still fucking smug

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Dude, suck it up, gapless shit runs ONCE. Go outside, 100G dude with a Celeron 400.

Amateurist, if I hand you a full cup of coffee and tell you to get me a fucking coffee, I want a new fucking coffee!!!!!

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:40 (seventeen years ago) link

yah i tried it (barely had any covers already, didn't notice if they were deleted) and it only found like %5 and froze about 3/4 of the way through.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:40 (seventeen years ago) link

wizard is hungry for new coffee

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:41 (seventeen years ago) link

new fucking coffee

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe you should buy a Mac.

the way forward! By 2030 all elementary school students will be taught object-oriented filtering skills from the 2nd through 8th grade, when they may switch subjects to "readin' and writin'" or the more intensive "how to not get called a moron by god-emperor Jdubz" classes

I have an idea, why don't we build software that is intuitive instead of continually asking users to think more like C

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

windows, you're our only hope

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

how would you make a playlist of mp3's not containing cover art anyway? amst OTM, the fact the app. deleted his existing cover art makes it a shitty function not a stupid user.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link

the way forward!

It reminds me more of chain based firewalls.

Anyway, after stories of iTunes being "too helpful" in organizing people's music, I'd hope that we'd have thought before clicking by now. Hopefully Amateurist has taught us a valuable lesson.

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed, depending on your video card you can rotate the screen in Display preferences.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link

everything should be stateful based on user. the mac should identify known users via the built-in camera and relate their actions through a learned matrix of preferences according to facial pattern recognition.

screw fast user switching, for a stationary desktop or a laptop that spends most of its time on the same table in the same lighting a simple comparison of chin-cheek high points geometry should be able to pick apart most members of a household as soon as they sit down. probably faster than it takes for bluetooth to do the requisite handshaking upon cold boot!

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i let my itunes (on windows) update overnight with album art and gapless shit, and this morning it is running faster than any version i have ever used ever has. this with a 370gig library. i dunno, i'm having a good time with this update, except that i can't figure out how to put MY OWN album art in. it seems like they are welding you solely to the itunes store for this shit now.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:14 (seventeen years ago) link

where's the fun in clicking if you have to think first?

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I can still add my own artwork in the new itunes windows version

― treefell (treefell), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

DG - aha yeah i think Cog is not really designed for you to drag like, your whole music library into. your "library" = the Finder. if you want to play a song, double-click it. or drag it into Cog. or make playlists in Cog. Etc.

Duderz, I have never understood the album art thing. IT'S NOT A CD IT'S AN MP3 FILE. I dunno it's like strapping a saddle to the top of your Ford Mustang - "it's just not the same without the smell of leather!"

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i can add artwork in mac version too

ok, annoyance --

Hitting Apple+I to edit multiple properties of a *MOVIE* does not work on multiple selected of movies. (There's a tab that is only visible with a single on selected)

bah, can rotate on an intel mac mini but not on a mac book pro

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I think my solution is good (for those who are warped enough to need a smart playlist that complex).

Anyway, my solution give you the FULL POWER of boolean expressions instead of being limited to all ORs or all ANDs!

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

it would be fun to have the album covers, i was pretty psyched. at this point i have no idea what most of my album's covers look like. i hope they make it work (or maybe someone could step in w/a allmusic script or something).

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:27 (seventeen years ago) link

ok smartyhungrypants - can you bulid me a smart playlist that will contain the songs i've listened to most over, say, the last ix months?

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

(s)ix

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

1. "Last played" "is in the last" "6" "months"
2. Limit to 100 hours, selected by "Most often played"

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

itunes is like a mother in law.

― -- (688), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Or limit to "30" "gb" or whatever size yr ipod is

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:35 (seventeen years ago) link

no come on - that will give me songs that i've played in the last six months that i've played the most forever.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:37 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't really think it''s possible but jon's talk of cascading playlists and boolean made me think maybe there was something i wasn't thinking of.

i just want sweet stats bros.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:41 (seventeen years ago) link

gapless playback is making love life again!

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

itunes doesn't keep a record of play dates, just play counts, so excluding counts from before the six months isn't possible, no. you could perhaps tie something in with last.fm or a similar recorder, but it'd be hassle

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:47 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah :(

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess me and James Murphy are the only happy ones, but I love this new iTunes. It runs faster for me and I like the new GUI.
