Easiest way to find and download dozens of tunes?

For my Dad's 80th birthday, I'd like to download the number #1 song from his birthday week for each year since 1932.. to play compilation at his birthday prarty. so need to find what they are and then download.  Anyone have any ideas on easy - quick way to do this???  Thank you!

The Billboard Hot 100, probably the most commonly-referenced, only goes back to mid-1940 (at that time, it was the "National List of Best Selling Retail Records"). If that would be of help, though, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-one_hits_(United_States)
There's a list of songs from the 30s here:
http://ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/top1/
but I don't know what their measure of #1 was. But it might be sufficient. These assume you're in the US, of course.
Which songs will be available in the iTunes Store I can't say. There won't be any easy way to find them; you'll just have to search for each one. As you find each one, drag it to a playlist in iTunes. Once that playlist is complete, you can then gift it to him, if he operates his own iTunes Store account, or set one up for him and buy and download the tracks yourself.
Good luck, and regards.

  • Easiest way to find and remove duplicate files?

    My wife is a photographer and she's terrible at file management. Consequently she has duplicate versions of images stashed all over her almost full hard drive. What is the easiest waty to find duplicates of files so that I can get rid of them? Any freeware out there that does something like that? This would be for her Intel-based macbook pro running Tiger.

    Having spent several hours a few days ago organizing files, I was intrigued by your question.
    I found Singular which is appears to be freeware, for at least the time being. There's a link on the registration page that will register the application for you — I assume Singular has to be running for that to work, but that's just a guess.

    After you run Singular and drop files/folders on it, you can double click a duplicate entry and both versions are displayed.
    Good luck!

  • How do I find and download a tune by its title?

    I want to make a list of my music. How do I find and download tunes by their title?

    Can you provide some more detail of what you want to achieve?  There are ways to:
    print a listing of everything in your iTunes library
    export data form your library in a form that can be brought into a spreadsheet (Excel) or database (Access amongst others) for further manipulation
    find songs in the iTunes Store based on what's already in your library
    search your library for specific songs
    search the iTunes Store (or other online retail sources) for specific songs
    Knowing which (if any) of these you want to do would help to provide guidance.

  • How do I find and download ACR for Elements 9

    Having trouble finding and downloading ACR for Elements 9

    ACR is only updated for a particular version of Elements until the new version of Elements comes out.  A new version of Elements comes out in the Aug-Oct timeframe of each year.  PSE 11 came out in the fall of 2012 so PSE 10 came out in the fall of 2011.  Look for the last version of ACR that came out before PSE 10 came out.  You can find the various versions of ACR for your computer’s OS by going to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and choosing Camera Raw – your-computer-platorm at the top.  On the camera-raw versions page that comes up click on the links for a late-summer/early-fall 2011 version of ACR.  In my estimation this could be either 6.5 or 6.4 depending on whether PSE 9 was replaced by PSE 10 before or after 9/28/2011 when ACR 6.5 came out.  The way to check is that once you’ve clicked over to the download page for a particular version of ACR, there are two more links on that page, one for PSE and one for PRE and click the PSE one to see what version of Elements that version of ACR is for.  Check this until the version of PSE is higher than the one you have and then one back one version.

  • I have a lot of duplicate songs on my iPhone 4--Is there an easy way to find and delete duplicates?

    Is there an easy way to find and delete duplicate songs on an IPhone 4?

    A belated hello.  On the topic of duplicate songs / tracks showing up in, say, your iPhone Music app but not in your iTunes Library, with these versions installed ....
    iTunes 10.5
    iPhone 4 running on iOS 5
    .... I discovered this too.  This is what I did:
    1. purchased full album from the iTunes Store
    (once download completed, album magically showed up in iPhone Music app, as expected, without having to sync)
    2. I then went to my iTunes Music view and edited the album year (Multiple Item Information)
    3. Synced
    4. All album tracks showed up in duplicate in iPhone Music app (but not in iTunes view)
    Solution:
    1. in iTunes, I changed back the album year to the one iTunes Store originally downloaded
    2. Re-synced
    3. Now all album tracks show up but no longer in duplicate in iPhone Music app
    Lesson learned: When purchasing music from iTunes Store, leave metadata untouched.

  • How do I find and download my pictures and movies that were saved in icloud and itunes library?

    How do I find and download my pictures that were saved to itunes and icloud in my itunes match? I think that I lost my pictures and I really do need them.

    Your pictures are not saved in iTunes Match; that is a music service. If you restore your device from a backup saved in iCloud, you will get pictures back, but any pictures taken since the backup will be lost, so you will want to import those to your computer first.

  • I recently changed jobs and no longer have access to the computer that contained my Firefox bookmarks. I don't have a Firefox profile. Is there any way to find and transfer my bookmarks to my new computer?

    I recently changed jobs and no longer have access to the computer that contained my Firefox bookmarks. I don't have a Firefox profile. Is there any way to find and transfer my bookmarks to my new computer?

    If you don't have access to the old computer any longer, '''no'''. Unless you were using something like the Google Toolbar & Google Bookmarks or Xmarks, which would have your bookmarks in an online account that you could access. Firefox doesn't include an online storage feature for personal data, yet. That is coming in a future version.
    If you have a friend at your old job maybe they have access to that old PC and they could export your bookmarks to a file and email that file to you.

  • Is there a way to find and replace prices in an Indesign document from a CSV file?

    Is there a way to find and replace prices in an Indesign document from a CSV file. Currenty I have a catalog with codes and prices in tables. I need to find a way to look up the code (and new price) in the CSV file and overwrite the price in the current table with the new price. Does anyone know of a script to run this quickly?

    Hi,
    Try this
    1) with all the images showing, got to Find -> By caption or Note
    2) enter the caption you are looking for Image Description and click on OK
    It should display all the ones with that caption
    3) select a few images as a test
    4) go to Edit -> Add caption to selected items
    5) if you want to blank out the captions just check the box to replace the caption and click on ok
    6) You will need to confirm the blank captions
    You could use a similar procedure to change the caption to something else.
    Good luck

  • I can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

    i can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

    It is possible that the app was removed from the App Store. If so you will not be able to get it back, unless you have it downloaded on your computer.
    If you had downloaded it before and it is still in the store, you can go to the App Store app on your iPod and go to the Updates tab. Then you tap on "Purchased" and see if it is available to download from your previous purchases.
    Hope this helps!
