chimz posted:I would test this before doing the whole library, but: Cheers mate. I toyed with idea of converting the ID3 tags, but I started testing it by tranferring albums over 10 at a time, and they were all coming up with the right art. Eventually just done the whole lot, and it seems to have worked fine. We'll see if the artwork pops up for every song as I'm listening on the iPod over the next few months Didn't do the whole library - just the tracks. Now I got a pristine library (and manually migrated my rating using BPM as a workaround). Have a lot of smart playlists going on, so wanted a clean slate YMMV, though, if you try this - do as I did (and chimz suggested), and test it in batches. Will report back if there's any missing artwork hiding in individual tracks...

HOLY loving poo poo I want to kiss you on the mouth. That is awesome Looks like it all worked - only 60 odd tracks without artwork, and I expected them, as they are ones deliberately missed Ta

Is there still no working app to automatically import lyrics into iTunes? I know its been broken for quite some time due to some legal issues.

I'm using GetLyrical now, and it's finding stuff more consistently than anything else I've used before. The GUI is a bit ugly, but it gets the job done.

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation. Even with a lovely GUI, its still a step up from nothing! edit: Argh, I probably should have specified that I'm running Win 7  Thanks anyways.

does anyone know of a good tool to automatically determine a tracks BPM and write it to the iTune's library? I found mixmeiser's BPM analyzer (http://www.mixmeister.com/bpmanalyzer/bpmanalyzer.asp) and it's close, but doesn't work on m4a files

Can someone explain to me why iTunes is so bad at finding album artwork? Out of 149 albums imported, it found 3 pieces of artwork. Is there an option to search artwork (like in Windows Media Player) or a way to add artwork manually?

It only looks in the iTunes Store, so your album has to be one that is on the Store, and you have to have the tags set the same for it to find the right thing. You can add artwork manually in the Get Info screen, under Artwork. There's also a place to drag artwork into in multiple item get info.

I had to manually add in a few podcasts that for some reason weren't pulled from the iTunes store. Now, the manually listed podcasts are listed as "unknown category." Is there a way to manually edit this information for individual files (rather than editing an xml feed as a podcast creator)?

Just a word of warning for last.fm users: Apple is pushing an update that seems to completely disable scrobbling of iTunes tracks (desktop and ipod). http://www.last.fm/forum/21713/_/657251 I jumped in blindly, and it looks like I'm SoL until at least Monday.

Damnit Apple, you should be embracing LastFM, to make your Ping less lovely, instead of blocking it entirely (EDIT: I mean I wish that Apple would buy LastFM and use them as a model for how Ping should be). I might actually hold back on updating iTunes then, as this would be a major break in functionality for me. IUG fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Nov 13, 2010 |

How does iTunes register skips? I skip songs in my 5 star playlist all the time, but only some songs in this list have skips, and they have much fewer than they should imo.

There's some odd window for what counts as a skip. Within the first 5 to 60 seconds only or something odd like that. EDIT: 2 to 20 seconds.

So if I skip at 5 seconds, it is supposed to register each and every time? On iPods too? Even with this strict criteria, I feel like I should have more skips. I guess I'll monitor this over the next few days.

After detaching the currently playing song's artwork, and minimizing the main itunes window to the notification area; is there a method to setting it to stay on top of all open windows? I also can't seem to find the itunes mixes button any longer. It used to be a separate menu item below the Genius category. Thanks for any help!

In the Advanced section of the Preferences there are two options. One is "Keep MiniPLayer on top of all other windows" (most likely what you want) and "Keep movie window on top of all other windows" (in case the first doesn't work the way you want it). By mixes, do you mean the equalizer? That's still in the Window menu.

AC/DC comes to mind. Mostly because they only want to provide their music in entire albums, not individual songs.

Does anybody know why iTunes is not syncing all my new media to my iPod Touch when I go to sync it? For example, here is what happened today. -Last night I added a bunch of new videos to my iTunes library. I then plugged in my iPod and let it auto sync and went to bed. -This morning I synced it again by clicking "sync" because I know it's been having trouble. Sure enough, one video didn't sync and it starts transferring over. -The sync finishes, and just to be sure I click Sync one more time. Sure enough, now the rest of the podcasts that downloaded the previous night sync. I last clicked Sync a few seconds prior, why wouldn't these be transferred with it! Seriously, what the hell? Why won't it sync all my new media the first time! There have been several times I've put a TV show on there, get to the train station ready to go to work, only to discover the show didn't sync. Incredibly disappointing. I'm on iTunes 10.0.0.68, and iOS 4.1 if that helps.

Even after they released it on the flash drive, they were still trying to work out their own digital music store through early last year. They kept pushing the idea that they wouldn't get enough money from iTunes to make it worth their while. It was ironic since if they had put together their own solution, they probably would have made less per song than just uploading it to iTunes and letting Apple deal with it. It was also ironic because their CDs are always on sale. Amazon is running a deal right not on some of their CDs for $7.99. I'd be willing to bet they get more from Apple/iTunes than they would selling CDs through Wal-Mart or Amazon. IUG posted:AC/DC comes to mind.

Organization issue: Une Nuit A Paris should be grouped with the rest of the tracks for 'The Original Soundtrack'. I've checked the ID3 tags and everything is the same. Furthermore, this happens with a few albums. I have no idea what might be going on here. Any ideas?

Check that all of them are using the "Part of a Compilation" box, if the album has more than one artist. If it still happens, I usually select them all, change the album name to include a space at the end of the title (and change it back afterwords), and sometimes have to do this as well for the Artist. However you shouldn't have to touch the artist, since it might be a soundtrack with more than one. After that, make sure they have the same disk number, year (shouldn't be effecting it on a compilation or otherwise), genre (I don't think this causes this), and maybe clear out any other field you don't care about.

I was hoping someone would be able to help me with a very insignificant, but still frustrating problem that I'm having. It involves a couple of programs, but playback using iTunes is central. Having Windows Live Messenger show what song I'm playing, while using iTunes--I've never encountered such a temperamental tie-in between programs. I can't reliably have MSN actually show what song I'm playing, if it deigns to show that I'm playing music at all, and yes the option is enabled in Messenger. Messenger won't simply detect what player is performing playback, and fetch the info from it, like one would expect. Windows Media Player, since it auto-boots with Windows, seems to usurp control of that information. I've had limited success with Googled solutions of starting playback in iTunes, and then ending the WMPlayer.exe*32 process tree. This seems to release control over whatever information WMP is holding on to... temporarily. I'll get the Messenger prompt that it's now showing my current music playback, and the Messenger window will reflect this with the little music note icons in the window, but Messenger doesn't seem to keep up with playback changes in iTunes at all. It'll show that I'm still playing the same song well after the fact. Like I said, I know this is a very petty and insignificant gripe, and that it's not solely an iTunes issue, but I can't seem to get it to work properly for any length of time. I was hoping that there would be some Windows iTunes users here that have encountered or heard of the problem and could give some insight.
