AudioBook Import and "Part of a Gapless Album" and "Part of a Compilation"

Do these options need to be checked (on) for audio books? I have checked Remember playback and Skip when shuffling, but not sure about the gapless album option. If they are not on, Will I have to start each new disk segment manually or will it play automatically, anyway?
I want to upload the audio books to a Shuffle, which uses voice notification and don't want to have to click my way through trying to find a track.

Okay, I have an update that may enlighten you. I've discovered playback in iTunes 7.7 does indeed work, but only if you play the first track from the start, or forward five seconds or so from the end. I was forwarding with less than five seconds left on the first track, so there was a gap before the second track started. So, if I listen to track one from the beginning, or forward it with about five seconds remaining, track two plays without any gaps - seamless!
Maybe Apple ain't so bad after all
I've also tried this on an older version of iTunes installed on my laptop so it's definitely not an issue with 7.7
Hope this helps anyone remotely interested
Cheers,
Dash

I am having trouble burning a gapless album that is a mixed compilation. I have selected part of compilation album on the options tab and I did select gap between songs as zero. When I play the cd, it is sticking between songs? Please help!

Thanks Chris but according to Pioneer, is was possible with the itunes in 2010.
It wasn't. (at least as far as setting Part of Gapless album goes. See next para.)
They claim that itunes will work if you select gapless album, part of a compilation
Selecting Gapless album does not make it gapless. (which is likely that now this option is removed - to not confuse people)
The ONLY thing that option did was tell iTunes to NOT crossfade consecutive songs from same gapless album IF you had crossfade enabled.
-> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1797
Setting the gap to 0 is what made it "seem" gapless.
Perhaps it is not working as it used to.
Try a slower burn speed.
and used itunes to convert them to mp3
Dont know why they suggest this.
Simply use the WAV file. Then there will be no loss (as there is when converted to MP3).

I want to play one gapless album and have the Ipod turn off. When I download my audiobooks as a compilation does that automate going from one gapless album to the next?

I created a gapless album by joining the tracks on a disc in a multiple disc audiobook. I want my classic Ipod to turn off after it finishes an album but it continues on to the next disc (album) in the audiobook automatically. When it finishes the multiple discs contained in the compilation of one album it continues to the next audiobook. This is great when listening to the audiobook in a car while driving, but not when I use the Ipod to put me to sleep at night. Why does it do this?

Did you put the library on the external drive, or just the media folder. See this migrate iTunes library post for the way this ought to be done and recovery tips for when it is no longer possible.

ITunes 7.7 'Part of a gapless album' Sham

G'day,
I've just upgraded to iTunes 7.7 and to my disgust realised that when selecting the 'Part of a gapless album' option now no longer works for certain tracks in playback mode. The problem tracks are okay when played back in my iPod, but as I listen to my music mostly on PC, this is incredibly annoying. I'm not sure whether to downgrade or wait for updates to 7.7 - not good Apple!
Anyone else experiencing something similar?
Cheers,
Dash

How do I get albums out of "compilations'? On one of my machined I can go to individual songs, "get info" and uncheck "part of a compilation", but that does not work on my office machine. I would also like to be able to do this in a group for an album,

I don't know how so much of my music got lost by being labled "compilations"? I would like to go back and catagorize it as it should be but the screens are gray and will not let me alter them as to the catagory I wish them to be in (or even the genere they are already labled? On my home machine I can (by individual song) "get info and uncheck "part of a compilation" and when this is finished the album goes to the genere as it is listed? Frustrating bit of hous keeping. Help and Thanks Chuck

The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.

I am considering the purchase of an iMac or Macbook and want to know whether I can import my iTunes library of +400 albums from my Windows PC over my Home Network? 300 of these albums have been imported from CD's, so would not want to have to do that again.

Just copy the entire /Musci/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
The libraries will be identical (date added, ratings, artwork, etc.).
You can do this easily over the network.

My song sin iTunes are showed like are part of different albums and often "part of a compilation" doesnt work.

Because of this I have 3-4 albums from the same original album , and everything is wrote exactly the same, I tried part of a compilation and sometimes does workd but mostly doesnt , will this ever e fixed ?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How to import and 'glue' two AVI-parts together into one AVI of QT-movie?

Hi,
I thought it was much easier, but I didn't succeed in importing and putting together two parts of a downlaoded movie (example: part1.avi and part2.avi).
First of all, in iMovie I didn't succeed in importing the two parts. What do I overlook here.
Many thanks for your support.
Kind regards,
Marco

Tough to say without more detail. You can generally import movie files under File>>Import. Are you saying one piece imported properly and another one didn't?

Deleting photos from last imported also deletes from all imported and videos..how do I keep one of the albums and not the other?

I downloaded photos from digital camera and created imported photos and videos(want to keep this one) and last imported and all imported "albums". Too much space. As I deleted the all imported group the same pictures deleted from last imported and the import and video groups. How do I keep on one of the albums an my iPad so I have easy access to them?

That is how the Photos app works, when you 'copy' a photo into an album that you've created in the app then you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo, you're not creating a separate copy of the photo - so if you delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to the photo, and it will therefore be removed from any albums that you've 'copied' it into.

Audiobooks imported from CD are scrambled on iPod help!

I have 8 audiobooks on CD which I imported to iTunes. Each book has some 20+ disks. It took some effort to make sure that it put the CDs in order as one complete single "album" per book as it imported them. You had to make sure it listed them as disk 1 of 10, 2 of 10 etc. with all the same identical information (artist, title, etc.). That was the first problem I had to solve. But, they were annoyingly still listed in and clogging up my "music" library and playing. I then selected the options to "remember my place" and "skip when shuffling". Better... but still in the way when scrolling through lists and still throws off your numbers for how many hours of music I have. Also, when I looked in my "audiobooks" list... nothing there. I finally discovered in "music type" you could set it to "audiobook". Voila... now they were finally audiobooks... In iTunes, in the library on my computer, they are now perfect. It shows 8 books with 1 set of artwork each, all the disks and chapters are in the right order. I synched with my iPod and was dismayed to see on my iPod that in my "audiobooks" on it... every chapter (track) of every CD is on there jumbled as a separate entry.... what's up with that... why aren't there 8 books with chapters/tracks that play in order? What is wrong????? HELP!!!!!!

Hey everybody. I just figured out a way to load audiobooks better. I first disable the funtion of finding tracks from gracenote because they get them wrong all the time. Then I put cd in,select a song, go to edit in top toolbar,select all, right click on tracks and select info in pop up box.When this window opens I put the artist, album name, disk number,example- 1 of 5 or 2 of 5 etc. I go to genre and put books & spoken, them to options and put yes and check compilations and gapless albums. I then exit the box and import the audiobook.When its done I select all again and fill in the options boxes with yes and check them all.Select ok and it goes to audiobooks. Everything has to be the same or they don't go to the same book. Its the best way so far of keeping everything in order and getting it into audiobooks so it will bookmark itself when you shut off your ipod and move from one track to another like it was disighned to do. Hope you can understand my directions and that this helps.

Importing sets "part of compilation" all the time, even when it shouldn't.

I've just instaled iTunes 9.01 and have been importing about 5 CDs worth of music. The problem is that iTunes seems to be setting the "part of a compilation" flag every time even though none of the CDs I've been importing are compilations CDs.
I know that sometimes the gracenote database has the CD tracks incorrectly marked as compilations when they aren't on a compilation CD. But I've imported 5 CDs in a row and they've all been marked as compilations, so I am starting to wonder if iTunes is the one setting the compilation flag.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
The net effect is that after I import a CD, it doesn't show up in the genre/artist/album browser. Instead it shows up in the compilation list. So I end up having to go into the imported tracks and uncheck the compilation flag
This is made even worse by the fact that I can't select all of the tracks at once and open up the info because when you select multiple tracks and open up the info there is not "part of a compilation" flag that I can see. So I end up having to open up the tracks one at a time and unchecking he flags one at a time, which is a pain in the butt.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated!

You've probably already found this out, but just in case someone else is looking for the answer:
In order to 'undo' "Part of a Compilation" that iTunes did on an imported CD:
*Right click on the album, Choose 'Get Info' and click yes when asked if it is ok to set info for multiple items.
*Click the 'Options' tab.
* In the middle of the dialog is the option 'Part of a Compilation' : Check the box on the left and change the option from the drop down menu on the right to 'No'.
*click 'Ok'
Make sure you give the group of songs an Album Artist or Album title so that the songs end up in the desired folder.
Hope it helps.

Burning a gapless album

How can I burn a gapless album from an album with tracks. (For example opera downloads have tracks with silence at the end of each track for up to 10 seconds; even though, the burned cd should have no gaps whatsoever.) I've tried using get info and making all tracks gapless, turing on and off crossfade, and setting the gap to none on the burning popup. I'd appreciate any help.

I am having a similar issue in that I have recorded a DJ set in Sound Studio, split the tracks by markers, and imported the tracks into iTunes. If I play the mix in iTunes, it plays seamlessly from one track to another, but when I burn the same seamless, gapless mix album to a CD, there are the slightest gaps, or jumps, between tracks. iTunes will not allow me to change the start and stop times of the tracks, but I think it's a larger issue. I didn't have this problem until I downloaded iTunes 9. I made perfectly good copies of some of the same mix albums in iTunes 8 that will now no longer burn properly. I have even handed out some of these as demos, which makes the whole issue personally embarrassing. I didn't bother to check them out as they had burnt fine before this whole debacle.
I thought it was perhaps something I did during the splitting of the tracks and transition to iTunes, but I've tried to burn copies of CD mixes from other artists, off of professionally recorded and published original CDs, with the same result.
My mixes are useless if there is even the slightest pause between track. Any continuous album is useless in this sense, and I don't see how this can be an issue that iTunes has not resolved by now. Does anybody have the same issues as a DJ? Can you recommend how I can import my split tracks into another program that will burn me a continuous mix CD that sounds proper? Any help would be appreciated.

Best app to import and study multiple choice questions.

Hi,
I'm searching for an app to help study for an exam.
Part of the studying strategy is to study by the previous exams questions. I have those (a lot of them) in text format.
The app would need to have:
- Support for multiple-choice questions;
- Easy, fast and automated way of importing the questions;
Would be nice to have:
- Ability to include a rich-text comment along with the right/wrong answer;
- Support for tagging each questions.
I've used the search function and found this:http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1041085 but it's been a while since then.

How can I import into iPhoto, from my iPad, albums created on the iPad using Photos App ?

I take about 300 photos a day using my iPad, as i'm filming to help keep continuity.
I then create albums under the scene number from some of the photos taken. Eventually i will build up all of the scene numbers in the script.
I want to import into iPhoto all of these albums.
How can this be done?
For some reason, when i plug my iPad into the laptop, it won't import screen grabs or all of the photos.
So the fact i have tried to be super organised, the apple software is now letting me down !
Can albums created in the iPad now be imported into iPhoto as albums to keep my organisation ?
Thanks.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater

Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?

Post relates to: Palm IIIxe
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.
