5310 - Genre and WMA - bug???

Having recently come across the 5310 (FW 10.10) bug where the music player resets when a playlist contains more than 4096 songs, I have been trying to deal with this by using the otherwise-not-that-useful-to-me "genre" field to divide my huge playlist up into smaller chunks that the music player can deal with.
However, I have run into a surprising problem. The music player is picking up the genre field from any MP3-encoded file, but is not picking up the genre field in any WMA-encoded file. I wondered if this was a feature of the ID3 tag utility I use (mp3tag) but the Windows Explorer 'properties' right-click-thing sees the two genre fields as identical so I suspect it is not this.
So is this another bug in the music player? Can other people who use WMA format files confirm whether or not their genres's appear properly?
Is there a formal mechanism for reporting these bugs?
Andy

From my experience with my N82 and WMA files the best way to tag WMA files is with Windows Media Player's "ADVANCED TAG EDITOR". using the ID3 tags usually works best with MP3 format files, SOmetimes My phone can't read the Artist field on WMA files untill I use Media Player to change it to the same value(name).
Hope this helps

Can't Import mp3s and wmas to itunes

hi,my problem is that there are some mp3 and wma songs i have on my mac but when i try to put them on my library or basically try to listen to them on itunes nothing happens.i drag and drop them into library or manually import them but itunes just doesn't respond i even tried to manually open the directory music>itunes>itunes music>automatically add to itunes and dragged these mp3s into it but it just keeps ignoring them and throws them into a directory called 'not added'.can anyone help me?

iTunes for Mac (unlike iTunes for Windows) cannot convert WMA files. You will need to use another Mac program, such as EasyWMA, to convert them into an iTunes compatible format.

HELP! iTunes reclassified my band's genre and now I don't show up in search results

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post. My problem is fairly unique and I'm just not sure how to go about it. Please point me in the right direction if I've made a mistake.
Okay, so here's the deal: I'm a musician who releases piano tributes to popular music under the name Molotov Cocktail Piano. My record label, CC Entertainment, has always set my genre category as "Rock." I'm not sure exactly why, but this has been the case since I began recording and releasing last June. Some time within the last week or so, Molotov Cocktail Piano's genre has been reclassified to Pop>Tribute along with many other (but, for some reason, not all) tribute acts, which in and of itself is no big deal to me but now MCP doesn't show up in the search results. My label thought at first that perhaps iTunes was blacklisting the word "tribute" as most of my album's titles use the word. However, I noticed that some other groups' albums that have the word "tribute" in their title still show up. After a closer inspection, I came to the conclusion that any tribute group or artist that has been reclassified to Pop>Tribute doesn't show up and any tribute group or artist whose genre remains unchanged still DOES show up. Take, for example, MCP's "Tribute to Taylor Swift: 1989." Before this switch, anyone choosing to search for "Taylor Swift" could scroll through her official releases and the many tribute albums dedicated to her. My tribute had been selling reasonably well and was listed near the top of the list after her official releases. Now after the reclassification, my album doesn't show up at ALL for the "Taylor Swift" search term, whereas some others still do. I feel certain that this is an unintentional mistake that somehow didn't get addressed when iTunes created the new Pop>Tribute genre and that it just needs to be brought to the attention of the right person to make what would seem to be an easy fix. In the mean time, however, I am losing sales with every passing day and iTunes is losing their percentage on those sales. The timing is just terrible, with the Christmas season upon us. Could someone PLEASE help?
Sincerely,
Rob Weber

when you play the CD in your laptop on your home screen a Cd should pop up under the name of the album. Than when you open itunes it will probly say something like "let this CD download" or something like that. If it doesn't than automaticlly while the CD is importing to your itunes a page will pop up with a progess of the CD download.
Hope that helped.

Disappointed with IOS7, i had organized my music library as per the Genre and now im unable to hear all the songs of the same genre like in the earlier versions. The options of "all albums" and "all songs" are missing in this version of IOS. Help Please..

It would be nice if you told others the steps you've tried and/or how you used to have your setup.
Anyway have you tried tapping MORE this will then bring you to
the selection-list of Audiobooks, Genres, Compilations & Composers.
Selecting Genres gives you a list of all your music split into genres which was set within the Music downloaded via iTunes or uploaded from CD or which you may have set yourself.
Then you just select the Genre you want:
If certent songs are not correctly gategorised you may need to go into iTunes and reselect via Get-info
>Info>Genre and change it there. That way you should end up with all songs of Jazz or other in 1 place.

Cleanups from the spark text changes and some bug fixes for VideoElement. Also some PARB changes for UIComponent.
TitleBar: Changing the skin part type from Label to Textbase
UIComponent: skipMeasure()->canSkipMeasurement() to be in line with GraphicElement. This has been PARB approved.
UIComponent: same with hasComplexLayoutMatrix...this replaces hasDeltaIdentityTransform. This has been PARB approved.
StyleProtoChain: cleanup around what interfaces to use
TextBase: clean up code that?\226?\128?\153s no longer needed.
VideoElement: Fixing 4 bugs:
SDK-22824: sourceLastPlayed keeps track of what video file we?\226?\128?\153ve called play() with last. This way if a user pauses the video and wants to start it up again at the same point, we can call play(null) on the underlying FLVPlayback videoPlayer. However, anytime the souce changes, we want to null out sourceLastPlayed. This was causing a bug when someone set the source to null and then reset it to it?\226?\128?\153s previous value.
SDK-23034 (GUMBO_PRIORITY): This deals with some FLVPlayback quirks around sizing. I had put in a fix so we weren?\226?\128?\153t setting width/height on the underlying videoPlayer too many times, but apparently we need to make sure it always gets called once. Hopefully when switching to Strobe we can cleanup this logic...I put a FIXME in to do this.
SDK-21947/ SDK-22533 - some video files don?\226?\128?\153t always send out a metadata event. I?\226?\128?\153m not quite sure why this is, but in case this happens, we do a check in the ready handler to see whether we should call invalidateSize() to make sure it gets sized properly.

Bug 2 : Once the white iphone is in "stand by" when trying to unlock on incoming call, the touch screen works and receive the touch information, but it bugs on trying to unlock to receive the call. (very very anoying :o) have to call back almost every time.
Are those already known bugs ? Is there a fix ?

MacBook Pro - Bluetooth and Speaker bug

Hello,
I've bought a new speaker (JBL Pulse) one day ago in order to use it like speaker for my Macbook pro.
Here it is, I need to use a bluetooth connection if I want to use my JBL speaker. My bluetooth is able to see my speaker, so they are connected. Everything works fine but after 1min, I can't explain why but the connection between them is broken. And it does it every time.
So first of all, I've tried other devices. My iphone is ok, my ipad is ok, I've tried with 2 other Macbook and everything works well. So I've concluded that the bug comes from my computer.
I have a magic mouse so I thought that maybe my mouse could create some disruption. I have disconnected my mouse but the bug is still here.
Then, I've called apple support.
The guy told me to do many things like reboot the macbook and other stuff like that. At the end he told me to reinstall my OSX. So i did it and the bug is still here.
Then I have even tried to delete the file inside my DD thinking that maybe it could help. but I have still the same problem.
It's not the first time that I have some troubles with my bluetooth. Sometimes it happens that my magic mouse is disconnected while I'm using it. Or even sometimes when I try to click on the bluetooth icon it doesn't even answer. And I have to restart my computer.
I'm a little bit frustrated because my macbook pro is in very good condition and it's a young one (almost one year). I don't have a lot of stuff inside.
A friend tried to solve the problem but he thinks that the problem comes from my "network card".
Thank you for your help and If you have any idea, do not hesitate Thanks
I wanted to go to the apple store but still not open in my city... (frustrated again ^^) So I'm gonna call them Monday morning if I'm still without any solution

I have the same problem with my older white Apple Wireless Extended Keyboard, which had been working fine with my 2009 iMac. But I experience the issue sporadically with my new Mac Mini. I've read reports of people resolving some BT issues by turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the Advanced pane of the Bluetooth System Preferenes Pane.
There are also people having the issue on iOS devices using various Apple BT keyboards. No help, but interesting to note that it's happening across various devices, keyboard models, and OSs.

On my iPad2, the buttons for Top Ten, Genres and New Releases are missing. How do I get them back.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.

Mirroring Window Gripper and DateField bug fixes
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-25719 - The gripper does not show up in an MX Window that is mirrored and using flex chrome
Added an mx_internal property to Button to track if the Button should modify the layoutDirection of its skins. MX Window and MX WindowedApplication both set this property to undefined. This is the only skin/icon in the halo and spark framework that inherits its layoutDirection from its parent. All others have layoutDirection of LTR.

I am sorry but this leaves me in the dark. On the site mentioned above I cannot
find something like a download for javaHL (on MacOSX especially).
Although I did install subversion 1.4.4 from the source distribution I do not
seem to have a javaHL binary. How further?

Smart playlists - genre and rating, two questions

I can't figure out a way to create a smart playlist that includes Rock and Alternative songs but only Rock and Alternative songs rated 4 or 5 stars. I can easily create a playlist that includes one genre and is limited to a star rating and I know I can create the list I want by first limiting my playlist to 4 or 5 stars and then subtracting genres but my library includes 51 Genres!
Actually, I might be willing to create a playlist by subtracting 49 genres if I could then duplicate the list so I can create the second playlist I want; 4 and 5 star World and Latino songs. So, question #2 is, is there any way to duplicate a playlist?
TIA,
Peter

Oh, you got it!!! I'd never noticed "Playlist" as a parameter in the smart playlists! Suddenly all kinds of possibilities open up! It did work the way you suggested but I decided to take a different tack. I created a 4-5 star "rock" playlist and a 4-5 star "alternative" playlist and then created a third smart playlist that includes the first two playlists! Now I can just continue creating smart playlists that include only songs I rate 4-5 stars in all of my 51 genres and create composite playlists to my heart's content! OK, I wouldn't do that. Once I get over 25 genres, it'd be easier to go back to the subtraction method. ; )
Thanks for your help Diane! You're brilliant!

Organising itunes by genres and styles

Hi
My iTunes library became through the years a very large database with music.
I have now more than 3000 albums in my collection
And a lot of different genres and styles.
Till now I didn't care about the genre and style.
I had a complete different way of organising them.
I'm starting the realise that I should reorganise everything.
It's gonna be a huge work, I think
Something that looks pretty poor in iTunes, is the classification by genre and style.
Doesn't seem very obvious to me in iTunes.
Cause of the many genres that overlap each other, it looks difficult to organise.
I have many albums that are a mixture of Jazz, funk, afrobeat, afrofunk, world, ...
Also a lot of them, go to electronic, dub, reggae, ...
I had a closer look to discogs.com
Their way of classification looks pretty good to me.
I checked a lot of albums on their site, and it looked close to what I wanted.
But how giving multiple genres and subgenres (styles) to 1 album.
Except giving them in the same tag the different genres and subgenres
But then I will have a lot that starts with jazz
And the result will be a huge list with different genres like
- jazz / funk
- jazz / soul
- jazz / afrobeat
- jazz / afrofunk
- jazz / afrobeat / electro
- jazz / afrobeat / dub
Also it must be very well ordered, and not having
- jazz / afrobeat / funk
- jazz / funk / afrobeat
it's the same genres, but will be shown as different genres in iTunes
Anybody any idea.
Is there also any automatisation possible in this huge upcoming work

There is only one official genre field. However, just because a field is called something doesn't mean you have to put that information into that field. For example I don't use Beats Per Minute but I do have a 3 digit code I use for some tracks that I put into that field and just remember that's what I use BPM for. I put album label information into the Grouping field. You could put a second genre into that if you so wished. You still won't be able to list by genre and sub genre though. You're limited to what is offered. You can make suggestions to Apple to change iTunes to add more genre fields but this may go again some sort of tagging standard, and frankly I don't see a lot of people here complaining about it so I don't think it will be put high on their list.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Oh, I guess if you're a genius at Applescripting you could write a script ot parse the genres and subgenres out of the genre field and create a manually ordered playlist based upon that.

Help!- MP3 and WMA files no longer playing on my Micro Pl

I have a 52mb micro plus that I got in September 2005. All of a sudden, I can longer play my mp3 and wma files... just the radio. I have updated my creative zen file organizer, I have a full powered battery inside, I have done no significant damage to the player (I dropped the player once on the sidewalk but not from a big distance or very hard), and I really can't think of anything else that is causing the problem. Can someone please help me fix my player so I can start playing my music files again? Thank you.Message Edited by jjc92787 on 05--200707:0 AM

No unfortunately not. I don't know how to escalate this to Apple tech but I think that is the next step as I believe it is IOS based problem, not user related.

This one deserves a place in the structures palette.
For some reason I always open the array palette to select a "for loop"
and selecting the N of the for to change the visibility of the label.
A pity both don't work.
But I also agree with Stephen that changing palettes should be done only when really needed.
Every change proposal should have a lot of arguments. The more users LabvIEW has the more people need to agree on a change !!!!!
Additions on the other hand and alternatives are welcome.
