I like to collecte complet albums of artist I like, this causes duplication of tracks between album. If I was able to link duplication track to one file in memory this will save memory.

  • How can I keep a backup copy of my iTunes library with tracks not coded and scrambled

    I have about 80GB in my iTunes library and would like to keep a backup copy of all the music in folders under composers, without them being scrambled or any the numbers which are automatically placed in front of each track, which is what happens if I drag and drop them from iTunes. How can I achieve this?

    Thaks for trying but this isn't relevant. I'm not refering to CDs or importing material. I have an iTunes library with nearly 20,000 tracks in it. It is also backed up with a straight copy of the entire works.
    What I want to do is back up the whole lot in a package containing only the music under it's name  and it's original track numbers. I can show best what I mean by dragging and dropping just two piano concertos out into an external folder.
    e.g.
    if this how they apper in my itunes play list
    Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 2 - 1. (Allegro con brio)
    Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 2 - 2. (Adagio)
    Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 2 - 3. (Rondo_ Molto allegro)
    Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 3 - 1. Allegro Con Brio
    Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 3 - 2. Largo
    Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 3 - 3. Rondo_ Allegro
    What I get when I drag these out into a folder on an expernal drive (or even on the desk top of my iMac) is this
    01 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 2 - 1. (Allegro con brio).m4a
    01 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 3 - 1. Allegro Con Brio.m4a
    02 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 2 - 2. (Adagio).m4a
    02 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 3 - 2. Largo.m4a
    03 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 2 - 3. (Rondo_ Molto allegro).m4a
    03 Beethoven_ Piano Concerto No. 3 - 3. Rondo_ Allegro.m4a
    You can imagine what a mess this is when I drag 20,000 tracks into an external backup folder. All the track ones (several thousand of them) of every piece in the entire collection will be listed first. And then all the track 2s.
    I can't sort that out.
    If there is a solution I think it possibly lies in the iTunes preference options. There is one, but I daren't try it for fear of unscrabbling the whole iTunes library and completely throwing all the play lists, folders and everything into a total unsorted mess. I refer to the tick box in the iTunes preference folder 'Keep iTunes media folder organised (places files into album and artist folders and names the files based on disk number, track number and song title)'
    If I untick this would I unscramble years of carefully sorting disks as I imported them?

  • When i plug in my ipod a message says I can only have one ipod per computer, but my last computer broke. How can I make my new computer my actual Itunes library?

    when i plug in my itouch, a message pops up and says my ipod is already registered on another computer (my old computer that broke). How can I make it so that the message won't pop up again and i can freely sync songs from my computer to my itouch and vice versa?

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How can I make links in another application (say thunderbird) open with a specific Firefox profile

    Having several different Firefox profiles, clicking a link in another application (for instance,a link in Thunderbird,or in a email message,generally speaking) brings up the profile manager:is there a way to bypass it and force all links to open with a specific Firefox version\profile?

    A way to do that is to edit the registry and add the -p "profile" switch to those protocol links. There is however no guarantee that such a change stays after an update and Firefox may complain.<br />
    Another way is not to use the profile manager, but select the profile for the default browser once in the PM to set the profile for the default browser, so that profile is marked as Default=1 in profiles.ini. Then place a checkmark in the box to never ask and use a desktop shortcut to start each Firefox version with its own profile, so you do not have to use the PM as that would set another profile with Default=1

    Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
    Amazon allows it, iTunes does not.  That is why.  Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public.  It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true.  Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
    With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.

  • How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • My laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!

    my laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!
    Please help!

    Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
    If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
    If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
    You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

  • (HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod

    How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod
    We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. .  or can they help us? PL E A SE E E  HELLPPP!

    tt2,
    Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
    <?wpl version="1.0"?>
    <smil>
        <head>
            <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>

    Now I went and switched the part from  <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help.  Thanks in advance.
