Music on PC?

Do i have to have all the music on my ipod (20g) backed up on my PC, or is there an alternative?

You can back it up on someone else's PC.
You can burn the files to CD(s)
You can burn the files to DVD(s)
If you have a lot of time on your hands, you could save all the files to floppy disk.
OR
not save them anywhere, and when your ipod crashes, you'll lose all your music.
It's much easier to keep them on your PC, in my opinion.

  • How do I find, at-a-glance, the sample size used in several music files?

    How do I find, at-a-glance, the sample size used in several music files?
    Of all the fields available in a FInder Search, "Sample Size" is not available. Finder does offer a "Bits per Sample" field, but it only recognized graphic files and not music files.
    Running 10.8.5 on an iMac i5.
    I did search through a couple of communities but came up empty.
    Thank you,
    Craig

    C-squared,
    There is no View Option to allow display of a column of sample size. 
    For WAV or Apple Lossless files, it is available on the Summary tab (one song at a time, as you know).  For MP3 and AAC it is not available at all.
    You can roughly infer it from the files that are larger than expected for their time.
    99% of the music we use is at the CD standard of 16-bit, so I can guess that displaying it has never been a priority.  However, if you want to make a suggestion to Apple, use this link:

  • IPod no longer showing any music.. help?

    I was listening to some music on my iPod through my PC and I was using Winamp (I've used before and no problems) and when I unplugged my iPod all of my music had disappeared.
    The photos are still on there and the mp3 files seem to still be there - I just can't access them when they are not plugged into the computer. Literally all playlists, artists, albums and songs have disappeared.
    I have tried downloading programs to extract the music from my iPod and then start over as my music isn't in iTunes (it is a new PC), but it comes up with an error message that the iPod Control file is corrupt..?
    Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions on fixing it?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    That file tells the iPod where everything is and what to look for.
    You may need to restore your iPod (keep reading though)...

    You may also be able to use the repair function of this program to get the iPod to recognize the songs on it...

  • I moved iTunes music to my hard drive "D" and now it won't open!

    My hard drive "C" was getting somewhat full, so I decided to move my iTunes music files over to my second hard drive "D" (I have a dual hard drive on my computer). When I try and open iTunes, it says, "The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'Music' folder."
    I cannot open the "Music" folder, because when I do, it just opens up the same window I was already in when I tried to open it. The main reason I want to open iTunes is so I can reset my iPod because it is not working anymore. The scroll wheel, the hold button, the backlight, and it automatically sleep mode (after not touching it for a couple of minutes) is all that works. I cannot click anything.
    I have moved all of my iTunes folders back over to my "C" drive, but it still won't work. I also reinstalled iTunes in the "Music" folder, and it won't work. Basically nothing has worked!

    You might find this article useful, don't be put off by the title, the process is substantially similar moving to another internal drive: iLounge - Managing your iTunes Library on an External Hard Drive

  • How do i share media (music and videos) between all of my devices?

    i currently have (and attempt to use as much as possible) the following devices:  macbook pro 15", ipad 4, iphone 6 plus 64 GB, and appletv 2.
    i would love it if these devices would talk to each other correctly.  first came the macbook, and i took an internal 2 tb drive cannibalized from my previous pc and transformed it into an external.  that drive is desinated as my media drive, it includes all of my video and music.  the macbook and the appletv talk to each other flawlessly.  every music and video file on that drive is accesible to me using apple tv. 
    next up is the ipad, which includes some of my videos (movies), but no tv shows.  music also does not show up, only options to buy from the store.  but i already have a music library that includes many songs downloaded from the store that dont show up, only some stupid U2 album that i never downloaded.
    finally, we get to the iphone, which i just got.  i get no shared music or videos here at all.
    by the way, all settings are set to share with each device in settings and itunes.  each device talks to one another.  i know this because there is some level of sharing on each device (ie ipad gets videos, iphone shares spreadsheets and other productivity files.  appletv shares everything.  i now want to sync these devices so that they can share the same data while on the same home network.  i should be able to do this, right?
    also, i know that i can airdrop/transfer but thats not really what im looking to do atm.
    thanks

    im more than a little disappointed here.  can anyone recommend another forum please?

  • Music downloads to the wrong folder

    Hi.
    I'm running Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and understand that music, movies, TV shows, etc., should download to their respective folders within the 'iTunes Media" folder, which is located here: User --> Music --> iTunes --> iTunes Media.
    My problem is that, while movies, TV shows, mobile apps and ringtones download properly, music that I either download from the iTunes Store or rip from CDs download directly into the iTunes Media folder, rather than the iTunes Media --> Music folder.  Also, there is now a new "Compilations" folder in the iTunes Media folder (in addition to the one listed alphabetically in the iTunes Media --> Music folder).
    I'd appreciate any ideas about how to resolve this so my music downloads to the proper locations and remains organized.  Thanks for your help.
    Shelly

    Hi,
    Was there ever a resolution to this issue, I'm experiencing the same problem?
    I'm an iTunes Match user, and when I...
    - Rip a CD
    - Run iTunes Match
    - Delete the imported CD tracks
    - Download the tracks from iTunes
    Sometimes they download to the correct album folder in 'Music' however other times they download to the 'Media' folder - it can even be the case that some download to 'Music' and others to 'Media' for the same album.
    Seems to have only started recently
    Any ideas?
    Regards

  • IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

    I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ?  Anybody help please.  Thanks

  • How do i use my Platronix bluetooth with iPhone 4 to listen to music.

    How do i use my Platronix bluetooth with iPhone4 to listen to music.
    Its a mono bluetooth paired with the phone.
    I dont want to buy a new stereo headset but can i use this same one.

    One way is to sync the contacts from the old iPhone to iCloud. Then when you turn on the new phone and set it up for iCloud and turn on the Contacts in Settings >iCloud, they will come to the new phone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • ITunes/Music Home sharing does not work on my iPad Air

    No matter what I do I cannot use Music.app on my iPad Air to play music from my iTunes Library with Home-Sharing switched on. The Library name correctly appears in the Music.app source list after the loading symbol takes an age to complete. When it appears to have connected to the Library on my Mac, contents of my Library are shown in the app but I cannot play anything. If I select an albumn and press Play the Music.app merely cycles rapidly through all the track titles of the Album and then stops. Nothing plays. I've tried dozens of times to get this to work, even rebuilding my iTunes Library. Nothing seems to cure the problem. I can connect and play via Plex which is just plain daft seeing Apple designed all the software/hardware but they, themselves, cannot correctly code for this basic functionality.
    Also, not all Album cover artwork is displayed correctly.
    It seems many of the things I bought the iPad for are non-functional and the tablet is virtually useless. I can't beleive Apple would produce software and hardware which is specifically made to work harmoniously but obviously doesn't.
    Any help, here, please?
    I'm also having problems with Bluetooth connecting to my Mac Pro (2008)... Namly, it will not.

    CD's purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on my Apple TV!  How do I fix this?

    You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)

    I bought a few songs and music videos from iTunes, then all of a sudden it wouldn't play and would just skip to the next song. With the music videos it would do the same. Also, this message would show up " The Requested URL could not be found on this server" What does that exactly mean? And what do I need to do to play my music/videos again?

  • I am trying to put the music from my ipod onto my new computer. After installing itunes and connecting my ipod touch a message comes up saying that my ipod is already synced with another library. What can I do to sync it with a new library?

    I recently got a new computer and got rid of my old one. I am trying to put the music from my ipod touch onto my new computer but keep getting a message saying that my ipod is already synced with a library and cannot be synced with more than one. How do I access that library on my new computer and if I can't are their other ways for me to put the music on my ipod into my new computer?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
