Folder for each cd instead of each artist

My iTunes library contains over 60GB of 256 kb/s AAC songs. When I started to use iTunes I choose to let iTunes manage the Music Folder. This resulted in a separate folder for each artist, but all I really wanted is a separate folder for each cd!
Is there a script that can organize my current iTunes Music Folder into folders for each cd instead of folders for each artist? This would save me a tremendous amount of time. Thanks.

Thank you all for responding!
The reason for having iTunes organize all music by cd rather then by artist, is that I want to add and remove cd's already converted to aac in a convenient way to the iTunes folder (because the hdd of my PB is as good as full).
Some of the compilations cd's are placed in the compilation folder but most aren't. So what has happened is that I have an artist folder with several sub folders in it with songs that belong to compilations. In order to remove an entire compilation I will have to find each track belonging to that compilation by hand. Now if every track from a certain compilation would be placed in a folder with the name of the cd, I could easily cut and past that folder to a backup drive and replace it with another folder.
Hence my request for a way to place all files belonging to a compilation in one folder with the name of that compilation. That's my objective. But something tells me that I do not know iTunes as well as I thought!

How to set a default folder for Live Bookmarks ( instead of the bookmarks toolbar folder ) ?

When I subscribe to a RSS feed, Live Bookmarks put these in the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder by default.
I'll like to change this default folder to another one into the bookmarks ( like the firefox : "Subcribed Feeds" folder )
Thanks

Hi Andrew
The short answer is that I dont think you can change the default "browse folder". It will let the end users browse whatever folders they have the permission to view. But you can solve your problem in some other ways, like:
1) Remove any permissions regarding the root folder for the end users. In this way they will not be able to browse it through the search component. Configure permissions for all other folders you dont want end users to access.
2) Create a range of meaningful indexes and only let the user search the indexes (with a meaningful name), not the folders. If you like, you can hide the folder search option by adding &EnableSearchFromFolder=False to the KM search parameters (search the forum for more info).
3) Give the users access to a simple KM navigation iview with a customized layoutset that only lets the end user browse the documents repository and contains a link to the UI command "search_from_here" which will "Opens a dialog box for searching within the current folder or subfolders" (taken from the description of the ui command).

Sent folder shows my name on each message instead of recipient's

I like the new view in Mail, but the sent box shows my name in bold for each message instead of the recipient's. How stupid is that? Obviously I sent all those messages—I want to be able to see who I sent it to to quickly identify a particular email.
I can't figure out a way to change this—did I miss the view setting or something?

How do I create a new Folder for each test report based on Serial number?

I want to be able to create a new folder for each test report based on serial number. Each time a UUT is tested, I want the report to go to the appropriate folder. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

Hello Tman,
This is a slightly tricky question. The reason being, the report options like the report path etc, are set before you see the serial number prompt when you run your UUT. There might be other ways of getting around this, but a quick solution would be modifying the process model.
I modified the PreUUT callback to set the report options. I passed the reportOptions as a parameter to this sequence. In the PreUUT sequence, I set the following fields:
Parameters.ReportOptions.GeneratePath=False
Parameters.ReportOptions.ReportFilePath= "c:\\"+ Locals.SerialNumber +"\\report.xml"
I hope this would give you an idea.

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
I choose Export>Versions
choose
Subfolder Format: Project Name
no custom subfolder
Name Format: Current Version Name.
Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
To be sure, I have no project named Projects
x
This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

How do i keep itunes from creating a folder for each movie that I add to my library?

When I add a movie to my library, iTunes 10 creates a SubFolder to the iTunes Movies folder, for each movie I add. The older iTunes just added the Files to the Movies folder, whithout creating subfolders for each movie.
Is there a setting so that i can make version 10 do this?
Thanks,
Chuck

No, there is no custom setting for this. I wouldn't advise it, but if you really want you could downgrade to the older folder layout. However all your other folders will be arranged in the old layout too which may no be what you want.
See this old post of mine for more details. (Read the last bit first.)

I have Downloaded albums that break up into each and every song or artist and I cannot get them to combine into the one album that they actually are. How can I do that?

In My itunes library some of the albums I have downloaded to my computer are being separated into each song or broken up into groups of separate artists on the album. I cannot figure out how to combine them all back into the one album they actually are from so when I open the library under Albums the album in question is just one album and not 10 or 15 albums because of this fracturing. I can make them into one album by making a playlist but that does not take care of the Album list page. Any ideas?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix split albums.
For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also tick Album is a compilation of songs by various artists if using the new version of Get info or set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab if using the old dialog box (which you can invoke by holding down shift as you right-click > Get Info).
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

Hi,
Based on the description, I understand that you want to add subreport in the main report. When previewing the main report, the subreport can be shown in detail. Please see the screenshots on my test:
In Reporting Services, we can create parameters and pass them from main report to subreport in order to control the data dynamically.

I have 2 ipods,one for music and the other for old time radio shows.Each had their own file.My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one.Now both ipod files are merged into one.How do I seperate them on the computer?

Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

How to get the date for the first monday of each month

Dear Members,
How to get the date for the first monday of each month.
I have written the following code

Use IW format - it will make solution NLS independent. And all you need is truncate 7<sup>th</sup> day of each month using IW:
select sysdate current_date,
        trunc(trunc(sysdate,'mm') + 6,'iw') first_monday_the_month
from dual
CURRENT_D FIRST_MON

IPod Nano 6th Gen. How do I get it to play songs through my car in album order instead of each song in alphabetical order ?

Basically I've got a Volkswagen Passat which allows me to play an MP3 player through the radio system. I also own a iPod Nano (6th Generation) which I'm hoping to use in my car. Have just tried it now and it seems to just want to play my songs in alphabetical order instead of each album in order. Is this something I need to change on my iPod or in my car ?

Hi wisdoms2,
It sounds like the settings may be set to play the same song over and over. Check out the chart on page 21 of this user guide and see if that is what is causing the issue:

I am trying to import a CD and each time it imports each individual song instead of as an album

I am trying to import a CD as an album but each time it imports each individual song. How do I correct this?

Hello phoephan,
You may want to take a look at "iTunes 11 for Mac: Import songs from CDs." When you import the CD, iTunes should be importing it as one album. If you continue to have issues take a look at your import settings.
