iTunes question

Ok thanks all, I guess I'll have to install MusicMatch again.

That program is terrible at ripping CDs.

I have a load of MP3s that MusicMatch messed up... I shouldn't have surfed the web when the PC was ripping.

My Musicmatch worked fine, i ripped teh Hives CD last night, as far as i know the CD is fine, as long as id didnt like, erase the songs. And the songs are named properly, and they ripped fine. Although finding the files was a totoal bit**.

But i might be using a different Music mathc, mine came with my computer and is called "Musicmatch Jukebox plus" idno if thats normal or what...

As long as you have iTunes Canyarion, convert all your MP3s to AAC (MP4) format. Cut the file size without cutting quality.

actually AAC files are slightly less quality then mp3, i wouldnt recommend coverting them at all. And i had webpages that back that issue up with proof, to get the same quality the size is actually about the same.

And outta the 2 i actually prefer music match for burning CD's then itunes. for some reason when i made it on itunes the CD players pauses for a while thinking about the track before playing it.

Musicmatch........blah.

Brings back days of using not 1337 programs like Real Player.

Do yourself a player and download The Godfather. Someone from AGB told me about it, and it's an amazing program. You can hack your ID3 tags up like no other.

no one said musicmatch was a good player.

but for mass renaming, i've yet to find one faster. it ziped thro a couple thousand songs in a couple seconds renaming every one for me.

KillerGremlin · 08-17-2004, 11:54 PM

I'll give you that. It does seem a bit overkill just for renaming, but it's easy to download, easy to install, and you can remove it pretty easily too.

So it works nicely. :)

i have a ****ing itunes question... or rather a puzzling statement...

all of my downloaded songs are protected and incapable of being converted to mp3s... and therefore incapable of being burnt onto a cd and read by my car/stereo. i even tried d/ling a seperate conversion program, to no avail.

HELP!

iTunes does it, somewhat.

In preferences, advanced, check "Keep itunes Music folder organized"

Then it would be iTunes Music > Phil Collins > Unknown Album > Something happened on the way to heaven.mp3

You can also add a track number at the beginning under the importing setting.

Now go to advanced > consolidate library. It should move all of your MP3s into the itunes music folder with the new setup.

After that, changing the ID tag should move and rename the file automatically.

But then again, Windows might not...
