Is there a fast way to find track info for songs in iTunes?

Hi:
The songs in my library don't have any info in the fields, and now I'm in the process of downloading artwork and adding album names and track numbers to all the songs in my library. I'm just wondering if there's an addon or plug-in available that will do this automatically for me? Or do I need to type in the track numbers one by one?
Thanks in advance!

Actually, I have nearly 1,000 CDs, which I ripped them from. Unfortunately, I got into the habit of deleting the tags when I added the files to my iTunes library ...

  • 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.

  • I have a ! next to some songs and i have to locate them under my music under my documents and when i do it plays in my itunes is there a faster way to do this?once i fix this can i do anything from it happening again?

    i have about 100 songs itunes shows a ! next to it says cannot find please locate i can locate them under my music under my documents and when i do it plays in itunesbut that would take a kong time is there a faster way to fix this?and once i do fix this is there a way for this not to happen again?

    Hello ryane84
    There really is not a faster way to link the songs. You could get the info on the missing songs to see where they sit on your computer and just move the files there before. Then you can organize your library to move them in the iTunes library folder or another place of your choosing. To keep it form happening again, the article does have a section on what to do to keep it organized when new media is added.

  • Is there a faster way to figure out what a negative number in base 8 is?

    Hi,
    Altough I know that using base 8 in java is rare, I am still curious about ways to convert from a negative decimal number into a base 8 number.
    For example, when we want to find out the negative representation of -11 (base 10) in base 8 . I would first convert -11 into the 2's complement representation of base 2 first (i.e. 11 in binary is 00001011; -11 two's complement is then 11110101). I then convert this into base 8 (365). Is there a faster way for this?
    I hope i am not confusing everybody.
    Thank you.

    Octal values from 0 to Integer.MAX_VALUE is
    between 0 and 17777777777, and those from
    Integer.MAX_VALUE to -1 is from 20000000000 to
    37777777777.correction:

  • Is there a faster way to 'write' automation?

    I have a plugin that adjusts the gain on a vocal track.
    One of the features is to automate the adjustment so that the automation can be adjusted manually afterwards for fine tuning.
    As far as I can tell, the only way for this to happen is to 'play' the whole audio all the way through with the plugin in write mode.
    Is there any faster way to get that initial automation curve created?
    Also, is there a feature to reduce the number of automation points? IE turn 100 points into 10?
    Thanks!
    - Jac

    Thanks Eriksimon! 
      I have a plugin that will create the automation, and I'd like to edit/fine tune that automation after the plugin has created the initial automation.
      I'm looking for a way for that plugin to run through the file faster than real time so I don't have to wait an hour for the first pass to be written.
      The other thing I'd like to do is,  once the automation is drawn by the plugin, I'd like to reduce the number of points it created.  In Reaper, there is a functoin to select a bunch of points and reduce them down so that say 10 points might reduce down to 3 if most of them are reasonably redundant. I'm looking for a similar function or script for Logic Pro X.
      Thanks for the reply!

  • I lost my ipod touch, i know there is a way to find it through what i have purchased, i have an ipad as well, so i do not know if the system differenciates and how to do it

  • HT204350 Hey, migration from an old mac late 2008 aluminium to a brand new mac book air. Only the new one has firewire. Transmissiom via wifi estimates ~50h. Is there a faster Way to sync? Tanks in advance

    I'll venture that your problem here is that you're using two very different versions of Mac OS X.  The USB adapter has been useful to me when making big downloads or while using other networks, but it might not be your case. 
    Here's what I would advise, though it may be less than stellar:  Copy the files you need into folders and move them through a USB flash drive or using that external hard drive of yours. (Could the format be the reason your MBA can't see it?). Some stuff like calendars and contacts can be exported too. At least in Lion, I haven't used Tiger in a while. 
    Good luck.

  • Is there an easy way to find out if a user has a message in their voicemail.

    Is there an easy way to find out if a user has a message in their voicemail from the
    UNITY subscriber page? Or anywhere I can look to see if they do.  I don't have access to the exchange servers.  We are currently running UNITY 5.0(1).  thanks

    The only way you'll be able to do that is to login to Outlook Web Access, or possibly setup an IMAP client to that user's mailbox or have TAC run the DohPropTest in attach mode to return the contents of the user's inbox.  If the first two don't work, I'd go with the latter and let TAC help you verify if there are any messages in the inbox that are unread.
    Hope that helps,
    Brad

  • Recently got a new iphone but when i tried to sync it with my itunes, all my music appeared with a cloud beside it and doesnt play. Do i have to download each individual track by clicking on each cloud or is there an easier way? I have over 1000 songs!!!!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • Is there a fast way to wrap unstructured text into [Para] tags?

    I'm trying out my new Frame 12 by trying to produce an ebook in several formats. I'm using the out-of-copyright Agatha Christie's A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES.
    Is there a fast way to wrap each paragraph with a [Para] tag?
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow, Russ, leave it to an FDK programmer to want to write a script or plugin to solve every problem! And FM does indeed have native functionality that addresses this situation. The conversion tables (see the Structured Application Developer Reference) that you mention in passing were designed to handle exactly this situation. Except that a conversion table operates on an unstructured rather than a partially structured document. So, all TdeV1 need do is:
    1. Create a new document from the chosen sample.
    2. Delete all content, including the root element.
    3. Paste the original, unstructured paragraphs.
    4. Use StructureTools > Generate Conversion Table to create a new coversion table.
    5. Complete the table as follows:
    Wrap this object or object
    In this element
    With this qualifier
    P:
    Para
    Para+
    Section
    Section
    Chapter
    6. Save the conversion table but leave it open.
    7. In the original document, use StructureTools > Utiltities > Structure Current Document.
    8. Create the needed Head elements for the Chapter and Section.
    Another alternative, available since FM 11, is Smart Paste. Recall that Smart Paste allows the user to copy material from web pages and Microsoft Office products such as Word and paste it into FM. Yes, in general, there is a significant amount of setup to prepare for using Smart Paste. However, Smart Paste is supported out of the box for DITA. So TdeV1 could do the following:
    1. If the content originated in Word, open the Word document and copy the paragraphs to the clipboard.
    2. Use DITA > New DITA File > New <topic> to create a new DITA document.
    3. Click in the <body> element to set an insertion point within that element.
    4. Use Edit > Smart Paste. FM will paste the content, converting each paragraph to a <p>.
    5. Copy the resulting <p> elements to the clipboard.
    6. Paste the <p> elements into the actual document.
    7. Select the <p> elements and use the Element Catalog (or Ctrl-3 to bring up the Smart Catalog for changing elements) to change them to <Para> elements.
    However the structured document is created, while this sample template is appropriate for initial experimentation with structured FM, it is intended for technical material and not optimal for fiction. To get the most out of a structured document for production work, it's almost always necessary to define elements and attributes appropriate to the particular project.

  • Is there a faster way to sync?

    Hello.
    I had some issues with my Apple TV and MAcBook syncing yesterday and I had to pair my computer again, and the content of Apple TV was erased. So now I have to sync everything again but its taking hours (I think even days). My internet connection might be causing some slow syncing.
    Is there a faster way to sync for the first time? (I guess just to transfer around 50 GB of info into apple TV, and then, wireless works out just fine)
    I left my computer all night syncing and it only did around 11 GB, after that, it went into sleep and stopped syncing.
    Cheers and thanks...
    IA

    your internet connection have nothing to do with the sync'ing between your computer and atv
    you don't even have to have an internet connection to sync
    you can try using eathernet rather then wifi but not sure how much it would help
    really the bottleneck seem to be located elsewhere i suspect

  • Is there a general way to find any type of file IN a JAR ?

    Hi I've written an application that I want to distribute in an executable JAR format. The application runs find when I double click the Jar but ONLY when the config file is outside the Jar, however I want to distribute every thing in the Jar, because I want my program to be self contained.
    I've read a lot of threads, read the Sun tutorial for JARs, but I haven't found a general way to find files within the Jar. Pehaps I should set the Class-Path in the manifest, but from what I've read in Sun Tutorial that seems that it only works for Classes.
    So my question is:
    Is there a general way to find any kind file ( *.txt, *.dat, *.for ) that is not a *.class, within the Jar ? Is that done on the manifest or when creating the Jar ?
    The code for the app that actually works is:
                URL url = getClass().getResource( fileName );
                inputFile = new File( fileName );
                fr = new FileReader( inputFile );
                char[] dat = new char[ (int) inputFile.length() ];
                fr.read( dat );
                sDat = new String( dat );
                fr.close();
                // Parse config.txt
                System.out.print("Reading metaconfig parameters...\n");
                parseFile() ;where filename is "./config.txt".
    I intend later to use a *.dat file wich will contain an object with the necessary data to configur the rest of the program instead of a *.txt file
    Hope you can help me
    Thank you !

  • Is there a fast way to convert mp3 to mp4?

    Got a large library of audiobooks in itunes that are in mp3 format.  I want to convert them to mp4.  Join Together by Doug Adams does a great job of this but is sloooow (appears that Quicktime is running in single step mode.)  Is there a faster way to make the conversion?  What are the best sample rates and data rate for a fast conversion?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You still haven't talked about the reason for converting, other than easier to use. I can read between the lines and guess that you are copying the files to some special device that doesn't like MP3,but no idea what it is or why MP3 doesn't work with it. Also, are you settled on using AAC format? I think it is a more advanced format intended to replace MP3 (Haha... sorry, just thinking about how long these PC guys took to give up on Windows XP-- they will fight much harder before giving up MP3 and AVI),
    Try Max for conversions. It has a batch feature (drag a dozen files to the window and click the Convert icon). Here is the comparison I got:
    Using iTunes to convert a 3:02 length song, 192 kbps, 4.2MB MP3 to AAC 128 kbps, 2.8 MB, the conversion time is 59 seconds.
    Using Max (free) to convert the same MP3 to the same setting of AAC 128 kbps, 2.9 MB, the conversion time is 37 seconds.
