How to keep track of songs you already searched out on I-tunes ?

I love buying songs individually on I-tunes. However if I go to an Artist on I-tunes and listen to all 149 of their songs, then how do I go back at a later date and search out just the songs that were added after the first 149. I don't want to be wasting time by listening to the songs twice that I already heard before. Can you arrange an artist's list of songs by the date they were released. Then I would at least know which songs are the newest released songs. Does the I-tunes software program have tools to help me organize my song search so that I am not repeating tasks ?

I received your email instructions earlier today about arranging an Artist's albums in I-tunes by their release date. I was able to follow your instructions fine for bringing up the sort button in the upper right corner. Most people probably would not know how to do this. I recommend you have that Sort Button come up on the first page when you search for an Artist. It is nice that you can search thru the Albums in the order they were released if you want to. When you go to the "See All" list of songs, I recommend that the users have the capability of arranging all the songs by release date as well. I track on paper the last date when I searched thru the entire list of songs. I need a way to track how many songs were released or put up on the artists overall list since my last search date.
I noticed I-tunes substitutes the word Purchased in faded gray color in place of the word Buy when the user has already purchased the song. This is a great tool, so you don't buy the song again, however the warning only comes up in the list of songs on an individual album and not on the overall list. I prefer to buy songs from the overall list, rather than from the list on an individual album. Can you guys get the word "Purchased" to also show up in the overall "See All" list of songs.
It would also be great if you guys had a way of letting the user know that he or she has already listened to songs in the see all list of songs or in the individual album list of songs. Even if the program just puts an asterick or check mark next to the song letting the user know that they have already listened to the song. I listen to thousands of songs to find the ones I love, but I don't have time to listen to the same songs twice. The quicker I get to the songs I love, the more songs I will buy on I-tunes. I-tunes needs to focus more on eliminating user duplicating search efforts. For me and I am sure a lot of other users, it is not about the album anymore but it is more about finding the individual song that you really enjoy and want to purchase. I think the search capabilities should be just as strong or stonger in the see all song lists.
Also on the drop down menu to the right of the price and buy button. When I click on this drop down menu, only half of this menu is readable because the other half is cut off on the right side of the screen. Is there a fix for this yet ? I use I-tunes program a lot and I like it but I am just making suggestions to help you guys make it even better. Thanks for your time.

  • How to keep track of last song played?

    Hi!
    Does anyone know how to keep track of which song played last time before itunes was closed? I have a big list of songs in my playlist and I play it everyday while I'm working. If I shut down my computer and start it again the next day, I have to manually look for the song I played the previous evening. Is there a way where it will keep track of the last song and play it from that?
    Thanks
    JB

    Subwaygirl, welcome to the Mac family! I'm not sure whether you're asking about beginning to play from the last song played on your iPod or iTunes so I'll answer both.
    From the iPod, simply hit Play and it will begin at the next song. It cannot go back to the last song played.
    From iTunes, use my answer to Chris to add the Last Played column, sort by that and select the song at the top of the list. That is your most recently played song. If you hit the >> or Next button you will then go to the next song in the randomly-sorted list.

  • How to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in

    Hi All,
    I have basic knowledge of Session and Servlets. I am wondering how to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in. There should be some way of achieving it.
    I thought of it and come up with having an Application variable that hold it when ever a user successfully logged in.
    Thanks in advance for any reply.

    You can do this by keeping data in a static veriable in a some class of yours. The variable will need to be a collection.
    Whenever a user loogs in to the site a servlet/jsp should put the users information in to the collection and when logs off or when the session expires the entry should be take off.
    You can achive this by storing the velues in a some sort of a week collection where the entries are automaticaly removed when all the other refferences to the entry goes out of scope.
    You might need to read bit about java.lang.ref package and WeekReference
    Or you can make the entry in the collection contain the last time that the user visited any of the pages and a thread can run time to time and clean up the older entries which have timed out

    Hi,
    Access the table through SM30. It comes blank as standard. Click "New Entries" and make entries for changes to be tracked. For example, whenever an org. unit changes 002 and 003 relationship, you will make entries like:
    01 O 1001 B002 Activate box checked
    01 O 1001 B003 Activate box checked
    Here, 01 is your active plan version, O is org. unit, 1001 is infotype and B002 and B003 are the subtypes. You can also use * for infotype and subtype which means every change will be logged.
    If you then run the report RHCDOC_DISPLAY through SA38, it will pick up all the changes pertaining to B002 and B003 relationship for org. units (in the above example).
    Similarly, you can set up this table for other object types.
    For more information, follow SPRO>Personnel Management>OM>Basic Settings>Activate change documents and go through the documentation for that node. Also, read up the documentation for the report.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to keep track of what I've previously draw

    They said:
    Everytime the paint method is called, everything that was drawn before must be redrawn. The paint method has no way to keep track of what you've previously drawn, it is your responsibility as the programmer to keep track of such things.
    Is this right?
    How can keep track of my random shades of random amounts?
    Is there a simple way to do that?
    In a example, I must use getGraphics to get JPanel's graphics, then I use it to random draw something in the JPanel.
    I just want to keep them in my JPanel when it resizes.I haven't get the answer yet.
    Can you help me?

    Ok I haven't got time to write the code for you, but here's the idea:
    //User drags mouse around to draw on screen
    //use mouseActionListener to catch MouseDragged event
    int x = mouseEvent.getX();
    int y = mouseEvent.getY();
    Point p = new Point(x,y);
    arrayListOfPoints.add(p);
    // end mouse action capture
    //override paint method of component
    public void paint(Graphics g){
        super(g);
        Iterator it = arrayListOfPoints.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()){
            Point p = (Point)it.next();
            g.drawLine(p.getX(),p.getY(),p.getX(),p.getY())   

  • How to keep track of how many times a link has been clicked?

    How to keep track of how many times a link has been clicked or accessed? Do I need to use database for this?

    Hi
    Proably something like this can work,
    1> Have a servlet/bean invoked when the link is linked
    2> have a static variable in that servlet/bean wich gets incremented before the control is passed to another desired page..
    The problem with this approach is that care has to be taken that the servlet/bean is not re-instalised, in case of which the static variable will also be instalised and the data would be lost.
    The best thing is to store the count in the database.

    Hi,
    How to keep track of the sequence of the BSP Pages being invoked.
    I have a BSP Page A.htm. There are two other pages B.HTM and C.HTM in the same BSP Application.
    The page B.HTM has a link A.HTM. The page C.HTM also has a link A.HTM. On clicking  these links the Page A.HTM would be invoked. Is there any way to keep track which BSP Page  (i.e B.HTM or C.HTM) invoked the page A.HTM.
    Any input on this Regard would be of great help.
    Thanks and Regards,

    In the onClick event of the link that calls the A.htm page , use:
    call method runtime->get_url
    receiving

  • How to keep track of emails btn Blackberry & Outlook???

    Hi,
    I'm considering buying a Blackberry Curve (Sprint).  My hangup thus far is that I want to have all of my sent emails in my Outlook on my home computer.  My solution thus far has been to use GoToMyPC so that I can connect to my home PC from any computer and take care of my emails.  Also, I work mostly from home, so this isn't a huge problem in terms of convenience and efficiency. 
    Most people tell me that they CC themselves when they send an important email from their Blackberry.  This is how they keep track of important emails sent from their Blackberry.  IS THERE ANOTHER WAY?  A MORE RELIABLE WAY?  IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE ALL EMAILS SYNC'D WITH OUTLOOK WHEN (THEORETICALLY) SYNCING MY BLACKBERRY WITH MY HOME COMPUTER?  IF NOT, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have two (2) EMails addresses; on is my blackberry address, and the other is my Outlook.  I mostly give out my Outlook address so I could have it on my PC at home, and when Isync it is there,. Or, in the field if I inadvertantly delete a message, I know it will still  be on my PC at Home. I think your friend is correct. If she has the Blackberry

  • How to keep tracks together in shuffle mode?

    When playing in shuffle mode you can't hear tracks in line together while they should be, e.g. in conceptalbums.
    Is there a way to overcome this?
    (You can do it with complete albums when downloading in the Library, but what can you do when the tracks are already in the Library?)

    Joepiet wrote:
    The second tab is calles 'Info' as well. Down under you have the possibilty to mark Part of a collection (Deel van verzameling). It should do the trick but it doesn't. I once tried, but I haven't found out what it does.
    In English, that is named as "Part of a compilation" and Google Translates that as "Deel van een compilatie". As far as iTunes is concerned, this means that the album has songs by different artists, albums such as the "Now X" series. It is how iTunes keeps a Various Artists album together.
    Joepiet wrote:
    I want to shuffle works, not tracks..
    Ah! I see what you want now!
    Two possibilities that I can think of (number 2 is the better one):
    Create a Playlist for each "work", by simply adding all the songs from one work to one Playlist and all songs from the next work to another Playlist and so on. Then, if you want to play one complete work, followed by another complete work, you could simply create a further Playlist and add each "work Playlist" you want to this new Playlist. To make the works random, all you could do is choose for yourself as you are adding them. You would need to play this new Playlist in order, not shuffle.
    If you originally imported this music from a CD, you could import from the CD again. But this time, combine the tracks that make up one work, as one track. iTunes names this as "Join CD Tracks" (or CD-tracks samenvoegen in the Dutch iTunes).
    In the screenshot above, I have selected tracks one, two and three and then used the options menu to find Join CD Tracks. This third option will not be visible until you select two or more adjacent tracks, as shown above.
    In the screenshot below, I have joined tracks one, two and three as one "work". Then joined tracks four, five and six as a separate work. Finally, I've joined tracks seven through twelve as a third work.
    Notice in the screenshot that the Options menu says "Unjoin CD Tracks". That is because the highlighted ones (7-12) are currently joined.
    And here it is in Dutch:
    With this second method, a work (of several tracks) will always be played as one track (or song). You can then simply add all the individual works to one Playlist, and play the Playlist in Shuffle Songs mode. That way, each work would be played in full, followed, at random, by another work.)
    And if you really need to - import the CD this second time with a slightly different album name, so that you then have two copies. One, where each song (or track) is the individual song on the album and the second where each "song" is a work.
    Now, lets hope I can get my iTunes back into "English" English, as my Dutch is not too good, even though I'm just the other side of the North Sea from you!

  • How to keep track of client in rmi server

    how can I keep track of a disconnected client in a rmi server ?
    And what logic do I use to disconnect a client fro mthe server ?

    When a RMI client receives a stub to the remote object, RMI client runtime sends a dirty() call to the RMI server runtime which in turn helps the RMI server runtime in updating the client references to the remote object. Client reference is nothing but a unique identification generated by client RMI runtime for that instance of JVM. RMI uses a reference counting algorithm for destroying unreferenced remote objects. Once all references (all clients who are holding the stub to this remote object) to a remote object drops to zero, local garbage collector takes care of freeing this remote object.
    RMI client runtime initiates a TCP connection with the remote object only when a method is invoked on the stub. RMI transport layer uses a simple connection pooling mechanism to use already established TCP connections with server objects in further remote method invocations. Let's say the client is invoking a remote method on the remote object's stub fetched from the registry service. Now RMI transport layer initiates a TCP connection with the remote object (exported at ("host1", 4567)). After completion of the remote method, RMI client's transport layer keeps the connection open for some time (some configurable value) to take the advantage of the already established TCP connection in future remote method invocations on remote objects exported on the same host and port ("Host1", 4567"). RMI transport layer also takes care of closing these connections if the connections are idle more than configured value of connection open time.
    From the RMI server's perspective, once the RMI server runtime receives a remote method invocation request from the RMI client, it creates a new thread and try to dispatch the method on the designated remote object. After returning the results of the remote method to the client, RMI client's transport layer may not end this conservation with this remote object to take the advantage of this TCP connection in future remote method invocations. So the same thread may be used for dispatching another remote method in future. This is actually the side effect of re-using the established TCP connections on the client side.
    RMI server maintains client's reference in the client's reference set of the remote object as long as the client holds a normal reference to remote object's stub in its JVM. Once the client relinquishes the reference to the stub (goes out of the scope or setting it to the null), RMI client automatically sends clean() call to the RMI server runtime to update client reference set of the remote object. There is no public API to lookup or manipulate the client references for a given remote object, but you can always unexport the remote object even some clients are holding stubs to the remote object. Next time when the client invokes the remote method using this stub, client will receive a "connection refused exception" from the server because the remote object is already unexported. Let's say if the RMI server is started again (remote object is exported and registered with registry service), the client once again obtains the stub to the remote object from the registry service instead of using earlier stale stub. (This time remote object may have been exported on different port, so the port details in the old stub may not be valid any more).
    At any point of time there can be more than one established TCP connection with the RMI client. This may be the temporary condition; RMI client's transport layer automatically closes these connections if it does not receive any remote method invocation requests with in a pre-determined interval of time (default: 2 min). You can always find out RMI client's host in a given remote invocation by using getClientHost(), but how can you semantically define a "disconnected client in a rmi server" in your application context ? You can always force all the clients to fetch the stub again in future remote method invocations by unexporting the remote object in RMI server. I hope this information helps ...

  • How to keep track of an iterator?

    Hi everyone.
    I'm having an issue trying to keep track of an interator in a tree map.
    Basically my application is an address book, and it has the following button:
    First Prev Next Last
    So if they press the first button it will run the following code:
      Collection c = treeMap.values();
            //obtain iterator for tree map
            Iterator iter = c.iterator();
            //get first item in the list
            Contact temp = (Contact)iter.next();This works fine.
    But now I'm trying to get the Last element in the tree and then assign a "global" iterator to it, infact all the buttons should have an iterator that will keep track of where the current element is...and thats where I'm having problems with.
    So if I get the first element when someone presses the first button, I would like to now assign an iterator to that position, so if someone presses the Next button, I would just do iter.next(); and then display the information .
    The problem is though, I also need to go back 1 element if the user presses the Previous button...is there a way to go forward and backward with an iterator?
    I have an internal iterator keeping track of things but I get an error, like for example:
      Collection c = treeMap.values();
             int count = 0;
            //obtain iterator for tree map
            Iterator iter = c.iterator();
            while(iter.hasNext() && count < treeMap.size()-1)
                count++;
                iter.next();
            trackIter = iter.next();trackIter = iter.next();
    I want trackIter to point to whatever iter.next() is pointing at, which in this case, is the last element in the list but I get an error here saying:
    found : java.lang.Object
    required: java.util.Iterator
    trackIter = iter.next();
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    First of all your bug.
    Iterators return Objects.
    What kind of object it returns depends on what you were shoving into the Map. If you shoved a Dog into the map, then the iterator returns the Dog, but the Iterator and the Collection only knows that it is an Object, not that it is a Dog. Your code that needed to get a Dog back, needs to cast the result returned by the iterator as a Dog
    trackItem = (Dog) iter.next();
    However, before you haul off and fix your code, twould be best to fix your design. Your question, "is there a way to go forward and backward with an iterator?" is a good question. Before I tell you the answer, let me ask you a question? What are you going to do if the answer is "NO - you can't go forward and backward"
    I mean, it's OK to hack and slash around, trying this and that, but generally it would be good to know the answer to that question BEFORE you write a bunch of code involving iterators, because when you find out that you CAN'T go both forward and backwards with an iterator, what are you gonna do. Are you going to leave part of the design working one way, using iterators for going next and then some totally different mechanism to go the other way? Of course you could do that, but that is not really how one arrives at good design, by first hacking out one feature until you can get it working and then turning you attention to the next and hacking out a different bunch of code.
    Observe that Collections can be converted to Arrays and that Arrays have indicies and moving forward and backward in an array is a simple matter of incrementing or decrementing an integer and testing if you fell of the end. Also arrays, having no particular order restrictions can be sorted, or re-ordered any way that you like. How much easier your problem would be if only you had an array instead of a Collection.
    Don't take the criticism of your design the wrong way. I actually like the idea of using something like an iterator for your buttons, but the thing you are using is not really an iterator. As you said it must go both ways. It is really more like a text cursor where you can advance forward and backwards over a list. So build a Cursor class that you can hand an array. Give it routines like, first(), last(), mid(), stepForward(), stepBack(), getCurrent(), getIndex(), setIndex().
    And then you ask yourself, "before I write this code - let me see if someone has already written it." you look up Cursor in the API. Nope, there is a cursor class, but it is for crossHair cursors and the like. Then you ask yourself, "What else could they have called this?" How about ListIterator. Bingo - there you are, an interface class that has hasNext, hasPrevious, ... But it is only an interface. It doesn't do anything. What kind of class would implement this interface? Maybe List, so you look up List. Drat, it is some disgusting awt component. Oh wait, there's another interface, List, and there on the "All known Implementing Classes" you see LinkedList, ArrayList and others.
    Cool. You can reduce a collection to an array, if you could get an array into one of these list types, you could have your interface all built for you and everything, or if it isn't exactly what you want, no big deal, you already know the interface you need, you can just build it, whatever reduces your effort.
    See how it works? And just for the record, I didn't know about ListIterators, when I started typing this. But I know a design principle that helped me find it. I don't grab a component that I know and see if I can make the system work with the thing that I know. Instead I think of what I want it to do, try to design the interface for what I want it to do and then, once I know what I want from a structural standpoint, I start groveling around to see if that thing already exists.
    You were almost there. When you asked if an Iterator goes both forwards and backwards. And the answer is, "No"
    I see that others have posted before I finished writing this tome. Reversing the array and creating an iterator for that list will not get you the behavior that you are in some state, at some place in the list, from which you can go either forward or backwards. It just gets you a way to go backwards through the list.
    On the assumption that you are a student attempting to learn something, I would suggest that you actually do both approaches. Using the ListIterator approach is what you would do in a production environment (I just need this one behavior and it already exists over here) but you will probably learn more if you implement your own cursor class as I described above. The point is that you have a chunk of functionality, knowing where you are in a list and being able to step either forward or backward, that you want to achieve. The way that you get some chunk of functionality is that you design and build a class that lets you get that functionality. Iterator is NOT that class.

  • How to keep track of 500+ individual patient's medications?

    I'd like to build a database to alert me WHEN my patients are due to have their medication renewed.
    There are perhaps 500 individual patients I need to track, and their numbers are slowly growing with time. I'd like to be able to tell who among them will need their medications renewed a few weeks ahead of time, and organize the medications shortly before they run out, if I will be on leave.
    Each patient will have the same medication prescribed repeatedly over time, from once a month to once in 6 months, so the number of rows will grow in time. In 10 years time there could be 1000 patients, each with 50 or more rows.
    Should I put all patients into a big spread sheet? Will the sheet grow too big to be manageable?
    Or should make 500 separate little spread sheets under each person's name? In such a case, how can I check all of them in one go to find out who among them may be running out of medication within the next 30 days?
    I welcome any ideas, and thank you in advance.

    I can see creating this system in a flat database, a relational database, or a spreadsheet. My choice would be a relational database like FileMaker Pro because it would make daily usage easier with the downside being the design would be someone more involved. A flat database such as that provided with AppleWorks would be easy to set up and fairly easy to use - it would just require frequent sorting as you needed to switch between looking at all the prescriptions due for refilling this month and looking at a specific patient's prescription list. (You'd also need to be careful about the entry of the patient sort key - I'd recommend using a patient ID number for this rather than patient name.) Since a flat database and a spreadsheet are basically the same, the same thoughts apply.
    I hesitate to recommend Numbers for this task for one major reason - database size. Just right now you are looking at a database with something between 500 and 5000 rows. If, as I suspect, you are dealing mostly with elderly patients it will be much closer to the upper number and perhaps higher. And how many fields? Patient name, ID, doctor name, phone numbers, medication name, refill date and quite a few more I suspect. And as your patient list increases...I haven't enough experience with Numbers to be confident it will handle that. Excel is another matter.
    If you already own Office, I'd recommend using Excel. If you don't, think about Filemaker Pro. If the cost is beyond you or the program seems too intimidating, iList Data should be up to the task. It isn't you're only choice by any means, it is just one that I'm familiar with.

Maybe you are looking for
