Fangs404 posted:I manually manage all my music (I have it all laid out essentially like genre/artist/album/tracknumber - title) and my tags. The simple fact that iTunes doesn't have a "refresh library" command or something boggles my mind. When I add or delete a folder into/from my music directory, iTunes should automatically detect this and adjust its library accordingly. Although i agree with you that it's just stupid that itunes misses that. Maybe it does auto-update the library if you let itunes manage it?

rckstar79 posted:I think I saw it briefly mentioned at some point, but is anyone using Tune Up? My music collection is a mess, and I thought this might be a good way to remedy the issue, but I would like to hear some opinions. I got it and i'm really pleased with it. It's not perfect, but having used it to clean up my whole collection (400 albums) it found more than 95% of it, including the right albumart. It's not useful for cleaning up compilation-albums, but that's about it. And it sometimes assigns strange genre's to albums, but i guess that's not really the programs fault, as it's more a matter of personal preference.

Aw man, i accidently deleted my entire library and itunes loses all data regarding last time you played a song and rating once you remove it from your library. Now i have to start all over rating my songs and i also lost about 5 months worth of data to be used with smart playlists.

You really have to think about what kind of playlists you want. "intelligent playlists" is not really helpful for us. Read through the whole thread, some playlist-ideas have been posted.

If you have a smart playlist with live updating on it should update all at once. When you sync it updates the last played date, this in turn removes those songs from the playlist and because the playlist is told to always contain 800 songs it updates itself with more songs.

Itunes 8.1 has been released, which seems to have a, for me, significant speedboost when switching between playlists and the library or scrolling the library.

outlier posted:An odd question: how does ITunes deal with recursively defined Smart Playlists? Since one of the criteria for playlists is "in / not in <other playlist>", it would seem to be easy to create smart playlist combinations that are unresolvable or troublesome. Anyone ever tried this? is the result.

Well, guess you can do it the hard way: clean up your music directory and remove all dead links in itunes afterwards. At least i think there is no reason for you to keep all the duplicates on your hard drive?

BusinessWallet posted:I have about 11,000 sounds and I'd say about 5,000 of them now have messed up tags as a result of using SongGenie. Is there any software you'd recommend to repair all of them, preferably a software that would pull from a database? http://www.tuneupmedia.com/ It's not free, but it's worth it. It hasnt failed me once so far, except with some really obscure compilations.

revolther posted:I was trying to just hit the genius button in the now playing area, I guess you have to right click and start genius on a song to update the playlist instead of mixes now. Because simple intuitive design says, "Genius button on currently playing song? Why that should scan your whole library and return 12 mixes completely unrelated to this song."

EC posted:I'm not sure I'll ever be OK with iTunes having that much control over my library. That plus the fact that it only has about a tenth of my library now due to performance issues scares me away from doing that. I tried moving an album, but iTunes just puts an exclamation mark beside it and goes about it's business.

I'm having a problem with album artwork. Specifically, Itunes sometimes decides to suddenly change the artwork to this: Things i've tried to fix it: - Removing it through Itunes' rightclick menu does nothing. - removing it by editting the tags and telling itunes to keep the artwork blank doesn't work either - tried manually removing the artwork from each song. Itunes will just reinsert the broken artwork as soon as i click on OK. - Tried adding new artwork from my harddrive. This works sometimes, but some albums refuse to change. - removed all artwork itunes kept in the Documents & Settings/Itunes map. this cleared all artwork, except the ones which are like in the picture. So, i'm really out of things to try.

It seems like for me, for video, that there is a video or two that just won't accept artwork, and my next step was going to be to try to re-encode the video. 9-Volt Assault fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Oct 11, 2010 |

I guess it was an ID3 problem yes. Removing the Id3-tags completely with Foobar seems to solve it so far, as Itunes was apparently unable to remove the tags completely.
