Re: iTunes question
 

An unchanged playlist that contains songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store can be burned no more than seven times.

Some third-party CD-RW drives may not work with iTunes. To see if iTunes works with a drive, from the Edit menu, choose Preferences, then click the Burning tab. If your drive is listed, it should work with iTunes. If you don't see your device listed in the Burning pane of iTunes preferences and you're sure that it's a supported drive, the correct drivers may not be installed. To install the appropriate drivers, reinstall iTunes.

Do you have Windows XP or 2000 Service Pack 2?

Re: iTunes question
 

I burned a 3 Doors Down cd the other day, and the majority of the songs came off of iTunes. So yours is just messed up. heheh

Re: iTunes question
 

*pats winamp, snickers at all the people using itunes* my ipod is much healthier now that i switched its diet off of itunes and onto winamp. its more lean and runs faster. :)

Re: iTunes question
 

xp.


and it lists my drive.

Re: iTunes question
 

If you've tried the troubleshooting steps above, and you're still having problems, you can run diagnostics within iTunes for Windows to get more detailed information on your configuration. To do this:

Open iTunes on your Windows PC.
Choose Run CD Diagnostics... from the Help menu.
Put an audio CD in each one of your optical drives that you want to test.
Click OK.
The results appear in a new Window. The results may contain additional troubleshooting suggestions for you to try.

Re: iTunes question
 

Yeah I don't let iTunes organise my songs anymore.
Especially CDs with multiple artists are a disaster, it brings under the songs under every artist. :rolleyes:

Re: iTunes question
 

That sounds like a case of the user not knowing how to use the product.

Under General preferences, there's an option "Group compilations when browsing" Check it.

Now go back to the library, and under artist there will be Compilations at the top. Click it, and it jumps to the albums that are compilations.

Now apologize to Apple :p

Re: iTunes question
 

Yeah when I typed it, I realised there probably was an option like that... Can you tick it when you import the CD?
Wait, I got that information from their database, so someone else is guilty of doing this to me. :(

I wasn't really complaining about that problem. Nobody has answered my actual big problem yet.

Re: iTunes question
 

Yes, right click on the CD when it pops up, it should be an option under there.

What's the big problem?

Re: iTunes question
 

Read on the previous page. Bugged, doesn't show the first letter I type. Doesn't copy the first time I try.

And don't blame Windows, that's no use here. :( Even though it might be true...

Re: iTunes question
 

I get that problem a lot of times in any program where it doesn't copy the first time. So instead of using CTRL+C or whatever, highlight the object right click and hit copy, works all the time now.

Re: iTunes question
 

:( I still have the typing problems. It sucks.

I don't think reinstalling is very useful, because I just installed the latest patch/version a few weeks ago.

Oh well, gonna change my computer soon anyway. :)

Re: iTunes question
 

ok... i'm pretty sure it's not itunes... i think my hardware's messed up.

*dies*

Re: iTunes question
 

Now please apologise to Apple and it's followers here.

Re: iTunes question
 

Ok another iTunes question, since you like them so much. :)

I have 2 folders with MP3s.
-1 with ripped CDs (this is the iTunes Music folder).
-2 is called 'My Shared Folder' and contains all my downloaded music.

I'd like to move my music from 2 to 1, but not all at once (since some of my music isn't properly tagged yet; it might also take too much time).

So the question is: Is there a way to select a few songs and command iTunes to collect only that music into the iTunes folder? Thanks. :)

Re: iTunes question
 

hrm.


well if you cleared itunes library, then added the folder (itunes folder) into the library, and then selected automatically sort files or something... shoudlnt it then add and sort any file you from then on add into the library? so add in the ones you want, bit by bit?


im not sure, thats a best guess, there are programs that could do it easily, i dont know if itunes has such an easy way.

Re: iTunes question
 

Well, of course I thought of that way, but then I'll lose the playcount. :p I hold my playcount dear. :sneaky:

I know that there's an option to move ALL your music into the iTunes folder, but I don't want that.....

Ach, perhaps I'll just do what you suggested. Then I can also replace all my 192kbps albums by 128.

Re: iTunes question
 

Command click only the files you want them drag them into the folder.

Re: iTunes question
 

From iTunes to a folder? It only copies the file then... I need iTunes to organize the stuff.

Re: iTunes question
 

TAGANDRENAME!!!!!

tagandrename is like sex with zegina.

Re: iTunes question
 

What does it exactly do? Will it recognize all my MP3s?

Edit: what is the advantage of this over iTunes? That iTunes can only look up CDs ripped by yourself?

Re: iTunes question
 

I know I'm the forum newb and no one listens to me, but check out Tag and Rename.

Re: iTunes question
 

Hey what's that noise?







:p






How does Tag and Rename work? What does it do??? I don't need programs to tag my MP3s, I can do that myself... I only need iTunes to move portions into the iTunes music folder.

Re: iTunes question
 

Could you use the Windows find tool and just find all MP3s, select them all, and copy them into one root folder?

Re: iTunes question
 

Please read my post again. Or not: I don't want to lose the post count yet. I like to keep track of what I have and haven't heard. And my most played songs. Most played is Eventually by M2M: 43 times since januari 30 2004 23:19. :)

I'm going to reset everything one day... but not yet.

Re: iTunes question
 

Well then, I'm off my high horse and paying more attention to the other posts.

But you did say you needed to properly tag some stuff.

Re: iTunes question
 

True, but most of that are seperate MP3s and no albums, and I don't think any program can tag those...

Re: iTunes question
 

you'd be surprised :p

Re: iTunes question
 

This one does that?
Edit: I tried MusicBrainz, which recognized some files, but only 20% so far. Though I did put some tough songs in there. :p :devil:

Is Tag & Rename better? By the way, so far I'm only retagging them, not renaming yet, because I think I'll lose them in iTunes then...

Global hotkeys for iTunes, works great! I liked the global hotkeys in WinAmp, but missed the nice library functions in iTunes.

At the moment I'm using iTunes 4.6 with iTunesKeys. Without all the new and useless online crap.
