Help with album info

So heres the deal. About 3 years ago I copied about 200 of my CDs to my computer as .wav files. I manually entered them into folders to organixe them by band / album name although the tracks are listed as "Track 1, Track 2, etc. About a year ago the CDs were stolen and I am trying to move them into itunes without having to enter in everything manually...is there a way to do this, or a program that can do this?

You should be able to drag and drop them from your My Music file directly into iTunes. Then iTunes will convert them to it's own format (AAC or something like that). I've done it many times and works great. Only problem I'm having now is iTunes does not want to recognize the track # I have so I am presently trying to figure that part out: how do I add a track # to an existing iTunes track so the album will play in the correct order?
Hope this helps - and if you know the answer to my question let me know. Thanks.

Need help with "get info" dialog box

Hi Everyone!
I need some help with trying to figure out what some of the options are in the "Get Info" dialog box. I've searched the iTunes help and these forums, but can't find anything.
So, in the options tab,
1. What does "Part of compilation" Y/N, do for me?
2. Same for "Remember Position"
3. And finally, "Gapless album"
Thanks, Vince.

1. when you import a compilation album (like an 80's compilation or something), itunes will import it as
song 1, artist 1, 80's greatest hits
song 2, artist 2, 80's greatest hits etc
Click part of a compliation means that, it means that it would keep them altogether rather than having lots of songs everywhere
2. If you start playing a song, then stop, part way through, when you next come to the song, itunes will remember where you left off
3. Albums like jean michel jarre, classical, mike oldfield, etc, have many songs which merge into each other. Having gapless album ticked will ensure that, when playing the album, there are no gaps between songs

Seeking Help with Album Image Issues in iPod Classic

Hi folks -
I have a new 160 iPod Classic and have two album image-related issues I'd appreciate some help with.
In the case of several albums where I'd associated my own art with them in iTunes, the formatting appeared off in my iPod due to the vertical/horizontal proportions. So I corrected the images, replaced the images via iTunes, and re-synced. All of the old images were replaced - except for two. Is there any way to get my iPod to recognize the change to these two images, as it did for all the others?
Secondly, my "The Allman Brothers Band Live at Fillmore East" album was appearing twice in both the Cover Flow and Album list. That was strange, except that after the latest sync it now appears six times! It's only in one place in iTunes, and not erroneously set as a compilation or anything. This is the only album displaying this behavior...
Thanks for any suggestions or advice!

Please help with routing info

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help you can provide to my situation. I am looking to find the most stable and efficient way to route the following studio equipment. I am running Logic Pro 7.1.1 on a Mac dual 2.0 G5 (not intel), just got a MOTU 2408 mk3 as the PCI interface. I also just purchased a Mackie Onyx 800 R (8 pre-amps), as well as already having a Mackie 400 F (4 more pres, as well as being able to insert 4 channels of my ART Pro VLA outboard compression on the first 4 channels, before conversion into the computer, 'to tape' if you will). I don't need the 400 F's firewire or monitoring features anymore, as the MOTU 2408 mk 3 comes with a CueMix monitoring feature. Really I would just like to use the 4 pres with inserts.
I have 2 questions, one about audio routing and the other regarding clock source and syncing these devices in the best way. In terms of audio routing, the available digital outs on the 800 R are either ADAT or the DB25 ->AES/EBU or SPDIF connector. The 400 F unit adds another S/PDIF in/out (2 channels). The available digital inputs of the MOTU 2408 are 3 banks of 8 channels of ADAT lightpipe (up to 96kHz via S/MUX), 3 banks of TDIF via DB25 connectors, one bank of S/PDIF (only bank C), and one bank of 8 analog inputs via 1/4" balanced connections. These banks are interchangeable, except the S/PDIF only allowed on bank C. The 400 F provides an additional 8 analog inputs/outputs via 1/4" balanced.
Audio routing, is this right? To run the 800 R ADAT outs via lightpipe into one bank of OPTICAL of the 2408, say at 48k (so all 8 channels are sent with one cable, rather than splitting higher resolutions), then run channels 1-2 out of the 400 F via S/PDIF into the S/PDIF bank C in the 2408, and then channels 3-4 of the 400 F analog into the analog bank of 2408? I realize I would be 'double converting' these last 2 channels, first A/D on the Mackie and then A/D again on the MOTU. Any correction or insight is highly appreciated with audio routing.
Sync Issues:
The 2408 mk3 provides many sync options, including WORD CLOCK OUT/IN. The Mackie 400 F also has WORD OUT/IN. The 800 R has WORD IN and a termination button. I know I probably need to eventually buy a Big Ben, but is it worth it to use Word Clock with the devices I have now? And if so, would the correct order be 2408 (master, set to 'Word Clock out' in the clock options of the audio control panel) -> into 400 F (set to external WC) -> into 800 R (set to external WC, then terminated)? Or does the lightpipe and S/PDIF take care of sync on each bank without the need for a master Word Clock. What would the setting be for the 2408 in any case?
Again, thanks so much for any help with this, I really appreciate it. This is my first post after much reading of this forum.
Dual 2.0 G5 Mac OS X (10.4) 3 gigs RAM, Logic Pro 7.1.1

f stands for float. If you create a number literal 0.5, it defaults to be a double. You put a f (or F works too, I think) after it to indicate you mean it to be a float. The same thing happens for int/long. 2 is int 2, 2L is long 2. It's also similar, although probably more efficient, to this: (float)0.5 or (long)2. It's just a function of the language, nothing to do with the Color class or any other class.

Restored my library from backup discs, need help with album art/playlist

Good morning everyone. Using the great information on this site I have successfully backed up "my library". I then reformatted my hd and reinstalled win xp and itunes. I was also successful in using the awesome restore feature of itunes. "My library" is back 100%.
The only thing left is the album art and my playlists- both currently on my ipod. My question is how do I update "my library" and "my playlist" from my ipod? I am worried that if I plug in my ipod without knowing what to do then my ipod will try to match "my library" (which does not have artwork) and thus my ipod will delete the album artwork. I have several thousand songs and would HATE to lose that artwork since it would be a time consuming pain to update those manually. Also I have 20 or so playlists on my ipod. I am afraid of losing those (currently on ipod) when I connect to itunes since it will try to update and match the now empty/blank playlist currently in itunes.
I am sure these are easy solutions for you pros out there. That's why I am asking! You folks have always given the proper help and advice whenever an issue has arisen. Thanks in advance!

clever point...

some album covers just aren't exactly square, particularly if the CDs are sold in cardboard flip-cases.
I deal with artwork in a more hap-hazzard way, but most of the time, i get SQUARE results...
Just Google the album title, then click the IMAGES tab. More times than not, I find the album cover in multiple sizes and about every time, at least one version that is truly square.
All i need to do then is click the image, then again at the top of the resulting Google page (to show just the image - out of it's surrounding page), then drag the image directly to the Album Artwork Placeholder in the GET INFO tab (that has already been opened on multiple items - the whole album).

Help with album display

Is it possible to restrict the text at the bottom of the album display to artist name only?

mike c 26530 wrote:
Is there a better way to keep everything seperated?
Yes, rename the albums as *"Greatest Hits, (<artist one>)"* and *"Greatest Hits, (<artist two>)".* Then each album will have a unique name. If you attempt your method, it will give you much bigger headaches!
By the way, when you rename a "single-artist" greatest hits album have a look on the Options tab and make sure that the tick-box for *Part of a compilation* is set as No. If compilations is set to "yes" the artist may not show up on your artist list on the iPod.
For instance, The album "The Whole Story" by Kate Bush is a compilation of tracks from her other albums, but if marked as compilation (which it is when iTunes looks it up), she will not show up on the artist list unless I have another album of hers. In "Apple World" a compilation album is one with tracks from different artists and those albums should be set to compilation-yes.
I hope that helps.

DUAL BOOT windows 7 and linux HELP with Current info on BIOS, MBR vs GPT, etc

I have a feeling this should be easier than what I'm making it. Please educate me on Lenovo's BIOS Setup menus, etc.
I have installed easyBCD in Windows 7, and plan to use it to set up my new boot menu with Linux Mint (and possibly other distros).
I am using a live DVD. I inserted the DVD and went into SETUP and selected to boot off the DVD drive. It started to boot into Linux and all was going well.
However, I realized that I had not checked on the Secure features (Secure Boot, EFI). So I shutdown again and went into BIOS. I went to the SECURITY menu and Disabled UEFI. Then I disabled Secure boot.
Tried to boot off the DVD and couldn't get anywhere. Kept putting me back into the window to select the boot device over and over again. THought I'd ruined my machine
Anyway, finally stumbled upon STARTUP menu, and put it into EFI Legacy, and I was able to get back into Windows 7.
Obviously before I pursue this further, I need some educaiton on your MENUS, Lenovo and EFI/Secure Boot.
I have a feeling that I can probably now install the Linux but want to make sure my settings are correct before I pursue.
Thanks, Kim
Moderator note: this thread gets more Linux-flavored with each post Moved from the "T" board to the Linux board.

Hi, thanks for ans. Your specs are almost identical to my T530 ,which I should have listed. The only diff is
I have an i7 35something processor. Same intel card, RAM and HDD, not that that should matter I'm guessing.
I purposely avoided the Nvidia card because of all the heaadaches with Nvidia.
I have to teach a class tomorrow and I need to clean up my notes. (Definitely not computer related...LOL.) I don't want to be stressed out about this during class, so I plan to wait to attempt a new install tomorrow afternoon.
What I have done is find out some more info about dual booting with windows 7. I went in to windows 7 to shrink the C: partiition and it said I'd have to reserve at least 220 GB for MS! Not what I wanted; I don't really care a thing for MS. I was born and raised on Unix and Linux; I never really fiddled with MS after the demise of MS-DOS during my college days.
Given that, and the fact that I'd lose half my 500 GB HDD to the Borg, I may just chuck the entire dual boot thing and just load Linux on it.
If you say you're running Linux on it just fine, that would be a great encouragement. No HW problems at all? Everything working fine? Which distro are you using?
I plan to test Mint, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, Mageira (sp?), saybahon (sp again?), Debian Wheezy, and even Pear, LOL. I'll keep trying till I find a distro to run on my Lenovo T530, but I'm guessing all of 'em should do okay.
I have Lubuntu I could give a spin, as well and Crunchbang and Bodhi, but they're all 32 bit. (I have an antique Dell desktop that I still use down in my woman cave.)

Need help with Albums style page, having trouble arranging the way I need

Hello,
I am creating a my albums styled page for an automotive club website I am working on. I love the way the albums functionality is built into iWeb with the slide shows and automatic linking and everything, its perfect. The trouble I am having is:
on my Photos page (using my albums-styled) I want to have the albums organized into different categories. like this
MEETS:
grid of photo albums from car meets
PHOTO SHOOTS:
grid of photo albums from photo shoots
TRACK DAYS:
grid of photo albums from track days
CHALLENGES:
grid of photo albums from challenges
and thats it, something so simple is giving me so much trouble, I have not been able to find a way to duplicate the original photo album grid thats inserted by iWeb when you select a my albums styled page. and I haven't been able to find a way for me to space them freely either so that I could at least have the text in-between to separate them into the categories that I want.
I want to do the exact same setup for my VIDEOS page too with video albums.
if anyone could explain to me how I could do this it would greatly appreciated thanks

One possible method would be the following:
1 - create individual album pages for your Meets, Photo Shoots, Track Days and Challenges.
2 - do not include them in the navbar.
3 - create a blank page and add thumbnail images representing each of those album pages. If you want to add frames to them you might want to follow the suggestions in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single JPG Image.
4 - make each thumbnail a hyperlink to the album page it represents. This way you can arrange the thumbnail in whatever layout you'd like and even have some text description below each.
5 - on each album page turn off the navbar.
6 - put a hyperlink at the top of each album page and subsequent photo page sending the visitor back to the page created in step 1.

Need help with class info and cannot find symbol error.

I having problems with a cannot find symbol error. I cant seem to figure it out.
I have about 12 of them in a program I am trying to do. I was wondering if anyone could help me out?
Here is some code I am working on:
// This will test the invoice class application.
// This program involves a hardware store's invoice.
//import java.util.*;
public class InvoiceTest
     public static void main( String args[] )
     Invoice invoice1 = new Invoice( "1234", "Hammer", 2, 14.95 );
// display invoice1
     System.out.println("Original invoice information" );
     System.out.println("Part number: ", invoice1.getPartNumber() );
     System.out.println("Description: ", invoice1.getPartDescription() );
     System.out.println("Quantity: ", invoice1.getQuantity() );
     System.out.println("Price: ", invoice1.getPricePerItem() );
     System.out.println("Invoice amount: ", invoice1.getInvoiceAmount() );
// change invoice1's data
     invoice1.setPartNumber( "001234" );
     invoice1.setPartDescription( "Yellow Hammer" );
     invoice1.setQuantity( 3 );
     invoice1.setPricePerItem( 19.49 );
// display invoice1 with new data
     System.out.println("Updated invoice information" );
     System.out.println("Part number: ", invoice1.getPartNumber() );
     System.out.println("Description: ", invoice1.getPartDescription() );
     System.out.println("Quantity: ", invoice1.getQuantity() );
     System.out.println("Price: ", invoice1.getPricePerItem() );
     System.out.println("Invoice amount: ", invoice1.getInvoiceAmount() );
and that uses this class file:
public class Invoice
private String partNumber;
private String partDescription;
private int quantityPurchased;
private double pricePerItem;
     public Invoice( String ID, String desc, int purchased, double price )
          partNumber = ID;
     partDescription = desc;
     if ( purchased >= 0 )
     quantityPurchased = purchased;
     if ( price > 0 )
     pricePerItem = price;
public double getInvoiceAmount()
     return quantityPurchased * pricePerItem;
public void setPartNumber( String newNumber )
     partNumber = newNumber;
     System.out.println(partDescription+" has changed to part "+newNumber);
public String getPartNumber()
     return partNumber;
public void setDescription( String newDescription )
     System.out.printf("%s now refers to %s, not %s.\n",
partNumber, newDescription, partDescription);
     partDescription = newDescription;
public String getDescription()
     return partDescription;
public void setPricePerItem( double newPrice )
     if ( newPrice > 0 )
pricePerItem = newPrice;
public double getPricePerItem()
return pricePerItem;
Any tips for helping me out?

Help with Album Artwork nightmare?

I don't know how a device that has been around for 10 years still has such unbelievable problems simply maintaining and transferring songs. I recently synched my iPhone 4S with a new MacBook Pro. So, of course, it wiped out mostly everything that was on the phone and I had to manually restore it all. Now, all the songs on the phone have the wrong album art. If you look under "Albums" the right art shows. Then, when you play one of the songs in the album, the song plays but the artwork is for a different artist and album. I don't think I have EVER actually transferred or synched anything without constant problems like this.
Does anyone know how to fix the album art so that it shows correctly on the phone? Thanks in advance.

The iPod's Artwork cache does get corrupted when making frequent changes. In the iPod's Music preferences tab in iTunes, remove the check beside "Display album artwork on your iPod" and select Apply.
Once the iPod has finished syncing, recheck it and hit Apply again. iTunes should recreate the artwork cache and re-sync it to your iPod.

Help with Album Covers...

I have Albums of artists who's albums are explicit but when I download the album cover, it always selects the clean album cover. Is there a way for me to select which album cover I want?

Through Apple no I'm afraid there isn't.
Through other means though, yeah. Go to http://www.cdcovers.cc/covers.php and search for the covers you want and download them. Highlight all the songs in one album and "get info". On the resulting screen drag the image file into the Artwork box. Close dialogue and admire your explicit oriented new album cover.

Help With Album Ar

I just got the new Zen and I love it! But there is one thing I am havening much conflict with.
When you are selecting your song, a picture of the album cover comes up.
But all of mine are the same! No variety! I have so many different songs and artists, but they all have the same cover...
I've tried everything I can think of to change it(except deleting everything and starting over, I would rather not do that).
Can some one tell me what to do to change it's

I dont' have an answer, but my question is along the same line... I have basically the same problem, all my album art is the same, and it's album art i'd rather not have to look at every time i listen to music, so similarly is there a way to change the album art (I don't even care if it's the same thing, just not what i currently have!) without having to reupload my music?

Please help with updated info how to Move iTunes 10.5.2 to a new MacBook Pro

With Christmas fast approaching, and new MAC computers being left under the tree, I would find it helpful for an update as to how best to move my son's iTunes library from my iMac (late 2011 version with Lion) which he is sharing to his new MacBook Pro (Early 2011 with Lion upgrade) . There is a lot of old information floating around on how to do this with prior versions of iTunes, but with iCloud and Apps now in the cloud I would like someone knowledgeable to update me and the community with the best way to do this for the latest versions of iTunes running on Lion. He also has his iPhone 4 synched with his account on my iMac and would like to deauthorize his iTunes on my iMac and have him sync on his new computer as well. I know it is probably hidden among the forums somewhere, but with a lot of people upgrading to new computers, it would be helpful for a refresher on this thread. Thanks!

I am trying to transfer files from my laptop to pages in ipad. I could sure use some help with detailed info. Thanks!

Can anyone help give me detailed info re: how to transfer files from PC to ipad using my icloud and Pages? Thanks.

If you go to iCloud.com you can actually just upload all your documents there qnd convert them to a pages file. You can then go to your iPad and go to your pages app and have access to all the documents that you've recently uploaded on to iCloud.com. You just need to make sure that on your iPad in settings->iCloud->documents and data is turned on. If it is then anything you do on the iCloud or iPad will all sync and you can access both items from either platform.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask. You can also visit an apple store where they have free classes on iCloud and other topics.
Hope this helps.
