  • Transfer Music with other software! Please help

    I was reading one of the FAQ from nomadness.net and they said that if you have connection problem with Zen then you could try some other transfer software such as Windows Media Player. Does anyone know how to transfer music with these other software to a Zen Micro player?

    I don't find the Windows Media Player or the Creative Players to be very easy to use, at least for me. Am using the Real Player and find it is great to use for my Zen Micro 5GB and Zen Xtra 30GB. You can go to www.real.com and download their free basic player. Go to the burn/transfer page and it will prompt you to add your Zen Micro to the list of devices. The learning curve seems to be very short for this player.
    Best wishes.

    i have already try the copy/paste thing with the ID of the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" it didn't change a thing. each time I relaunched Itunes, the ID is the first I have in the MAC.
    I have more than 5 000 files of music. I don't want to recreate one by one all my playlits.
    Many thnaks for your answers.

    You can sync iphone with one and only one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.  There is no way around this.
    Put everything on one computer and sync from there.
    BTW, you posted in the Home Share forum.  Your question seems to have nothing to do with home share.

  • Can I download music from other computers?

    Can I download iTune music to other computers. Especially, other computers at Internet Cafes or random spots that have internet connections. If I can, then how?

    As long as the downloaded song is a format that the iPod can read, then absolutely.
    I've downloaded tons of music from emusic.com, and they work find on my iPod.
    Hope that helps,

    If you want to drag and drop ( don;t know why you would do this), you will have to check manually manage music.
    Why not just sync?

  • ITunes Fix for Manually Moving Music and other Media

    Intro
    Any iTunes 7.x user who manages their own music library outside of the "iTunes Music" folder might be able to tell you that iTunes DOES NOT respond well after manually moving tracks from one place to another on their computer systems. In fact, any file you move becomes immediately unplayable in iTunes. And, if you're anything like I am, losing several years worth of song rating metadata and playlists is not a good incentive for change. However, one thing others might not be able to tell you is that there's an easy workaround for the problem and you get to keep your playlists, ratings and other info. Read on to learn about the workaround.
    About the Workaround
    The workaround is a simple hack I devised after recently transferring a good portion of my music library between hard disks and running into problems with iTunes. The fix steps provided below are intended to circumvent the problems with iTunes and give users the freedom to move songs and other media files on their computers while maintaining the integrity of both the ratings and the playlists. Meaning you won't need to manually update the song locations in iTunes one-at-a-time, which, at version 7.02 is the only way to accomplish this task using the program.
    Please be aware that not all information is retained using this workaround. What will be lost are the following: the "Recently Added", "Recently Played" and "Top 25 Most Played" iTunes Smart Playlists; any media file play counts; last played information; and possibly some other data used only internally by iTunes.
    So, if you're comfortable parting with some metadata while keeping your cherished song ratings and playlists intact during file relocation, read on to learn how to use the workaround.
    Workaround Steps
    The following instructions walk step-by-step through the process of this workaround.
    Note: All backslashes used in file paths have been converted to forward slashes so that they will adhere with MySpace XSS security validation checks. These altered paths can still be copy/paste into Windows Vista's Explorer program once the Username is changed to the User Account where the iTunes files reside.
    Preparing for the Move
    Before you move your files, do the following:
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Create a backup copy of the following files:
    iTunes Library XML (iTunes Music Library.xml)
    Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl)
    Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    Moving Your Files
    This part should be self explanatory, but while you do it make sure to note the following two things:
    1. The path where the files were previously stored (e.g. D:/Music).
    2. The path where the files will end up (e.g. E:/Music).
    Execute the Fix
    After your files are moved, complete the following steps to implement the fix.
    Note: Do not open iTunes during this process.
    Hack the iTunes Library XML
    Once the files are moved the Library XML file locations will be out of sync. Follow the steps below to update them so that they now reference the correct file locations.
    1. Open the iTunes Library XML with a Text Editor with a Find/Replace function.
    Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    Tip: Do not try to do this with Dreamweaver if your Library XML is greater than 10MB.
    2. Perform a Find/Replace using the following inputs:
    Find: Path from Step 1 of Moving Your Files
    Replace: Path from Step 2 of Moving Your Files
    3. Confirm your results, and then save and close the Library XML.
    Delete the iTunes Music Database
    Hacking the iTunes Library isn't enough to fool iTunes. Like the Library XML, the Music Database also holds the file locations of all of the media stored within the program. And it's smart enough to wipe out the Library XML hack if iTunes is opened before completing this step.
    Ensure you have backed up the iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl) and delete the file.
    Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    Back in iTunes
    Once the fix is in place you can now open iTunes again. You will notice that all of your playlists, music and other items have vanished. In order to recover them all (with the exception of the Smart Playlists mentioned in the About the Workaround section above) we'll need to import the hacked Library XML file back into iTunes.
    1. Open iTunes and press CtrlShiftO or go to File > Import…
    2. Navigate to and Open your modified Library XML (as pictured below).
    3. iTunes will then begin importing the contents of the XML file (as pictured below).
    Note: This process may take a while, depending on the size if your library.
    Wrapping Up
    Once the import process is complete iTunes will look almost exactly the way you left it, with the exception that some playlists have been duplicated and the number of songs may be a hair off. To fix this problem delete any duplicate playlists in the "Library" panel in iTunes. You can now test out the changes by selecting an item moved earlier and testing it out. All that's left from there is to let iTunes perform any automated analysis it needs to do and rock on.

    Holy Smokes:
    I appreciate your detailed workaround post. My question is this: I use iTunes to keep everything organized (though I'm well aware of the shortcomings...) and can use the simple solution that Chris from CA posted, but I don't have room to consolidate everything. My read on consolidating is that you copy from wherever you have your music located (and right now my music is outside of the MyMusic/iTunes folder, as that backs up to my work server) and so you have to have enough room for all of your music to be copied (and then you delete it from its prior location). That's how Apple describes it in, e.g., http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748. I ain't go that kind of room. Is there any way to make the move to a completely different PC by following the simple option? From the posting I just linked it sounds like you MUST consolidate whether you use you iPod to move things or use an external drive.
    Of course, I can use your workaround, but I thought I'd ask first. Many thanks.

    How do I consolidate an Itunes music library on two windows computers onto one windows computer?

    Click here, pick the option which best fits your situation, open the larger library in iTunes, move the media files from the smaller one into the library in the open iTunes program window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, and then import the playlists. Any rented movies will only play on the computer they were originally downloaded to.

    Hi,
    To restore your music, connect to your computer's iTunes and try the following settings.
    Then hit the Apply button on bottom right. I find it best to select "sync only checked songs and videos" in the Options in Summary.
    Good luck

  • Itunes will not play music or other media files suddenly.

    Itunes will be playing a file, usually an audio file, then suddenly it will stop playing mid track. When I tell it to continue using the shortcuts, or the controls, or window bar it says it playing but no volume is produced and the track does not actually play as marked in the status bar.  No error is reported or crashing. Any suggestions? Only remedy is closing itunes and opeing the application again. Mild annoyance but it shouldn't be happening. Macbook Pro on Mavericks  and latest version of itunes
