ITunes for Books, comment field to small for synopsis. Any solutions?

iTunes is still a very centric music app. now that it can hold books I was trying to add synopsis of the books I have (useful when you have several hundred or thousand)
The obvious choice "Comments" field is limited *in the interface* to 255 char which is very small for a book (in the plist file you can put text of the lenght you want but it won't show up in iTunes)
My second alternative would have been "Lyrics" since you can paste a lot of text there but there is no Lyrics tab for Books.
One year after iBooks and we don't have any meaningful way to add textual information to text-based entertainment such as books.
If you know any workaround I'd be grateful, otherwise I really hope Apple would slowly understand that iTunes is much more than tunes nowadays.
Books should have their own fields (such as ISBN) but at least a book summary is not that farfetched, is it?

Thank you, Terence. I guess I should have been more clear. I know all that.
But what about the options that allow a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive to be access via NAS/web?
I know pogoplug, for one, does this. But is anyone using it for iPhoto and is it reliable?
Here's where they at least claim their device supports Mac OS Extended (Journaled): http://download.pogoplug.com/support/faq.html

  • Adding a comment field in block for quality reasons subscreen of XK05?

    Hi Experts,
    I have requirement to add a comment field in block for quality reasons subscreen.
    I didn't find any BADI for this requirement.
    Kindly any one advise is it possible to add this comment field in XK05.
    Regards,
    Anusha

    Hi Raymond,
    Thank you for the reply. As per the note some one already implemented the Screen Enhancement with 2 custom views. I need to add the field in any one of existing custom view. So for this I have created a Subscreen in copied function group of MGD1(Y_FE_MARA). But in the function group already 10 Subscreens were created. Is this is the problem? or else copy the FG MGD1 into another FG and create the subscreen will be feasible to my scenario?
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks and Regards,

    After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
    Look out for "japiohelp".
    In short:
    a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
    b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
    c) reboot the computer
    and Bob's your uncle.

  • Where does iTunes keep the "comments" field info?

    I've lost all the comments I recently entered for a particular CD
    and I need to figure out what file iTunes keeps that infomation in
    so I can get only that file out of a recent back up.
    This info is not in the file titled "iTunes Music Library.xml" is it?
    I looked in there by opening it in TextEdit but that didn't seem to be
    the file so it must be kept someplace else. UgH!@

    Matthew,
    thanks for the quick reply but...
    I have not actually ripped a song so this info can not be in the song file.
    Here is what i have going :
    I put in the CD and I have titled each track to give it a descriptive name and
    further added comments to the comments fields.
    I eject the CD.
    When I insert the CD again, all this info shows there again, it's like
    iTunes just knows it's this CD and what the song titles are etc.
    So this song title and commments info couldn't be part of the song file because the songs are still on the CD and iTunes can't make a change on the CD, it's a commercial write protected CD, know what I mean?
    Also, the song title and comments info isn't kept in the "iTunes Music Library.xml" because iTunes shows song titles and comments that are
    not in this file when I search in it with TextEdit. This is making me nuts!

  • Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7.  now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps.  any solutions?

    10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad.  itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer.  Any suggestions?

    I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
    - Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
    - un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
    - For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
    - run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this)  in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
    - reboot PC
    - Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
    - run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
    - reboot PC
    - run cccleaner
    - reboot PC
    - install itune 10.5
    Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

    I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly.
    Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again without letting me take any action. Is there any solution?

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!

  • The yellow bar[others] in iTunes eats up almost 3-4GB of my device. any solution?

    the yellow bar[others] in iTunes eats up almost 3-4GB of my device. almost 30% of my storage is used up. what is the reason behind it?  is there any solution to it? do iMessage me at : [email protected]  . i will me gratefull to anyone who helps
    Thank You

    "Other" that large is usually a corrupted file(s).  Restore the device and it should go back to normal, i.e. much less than 1G.

  • Q: Can Spotlight be configured to default to search for the comments field?

    Can the Spotlight search box be configured to search only for Comments in Get Info as the default? I know that I can add a line to the search parameters that will search there. But, I'm most interested in searching for tags than for words throughout a document. When I would need to do that, I could always add a line to the search parameters.
    Thanks.

  • When I go to the crash report page the signature is null for ALL the crash reports. Is there any solution other than uninstall this version and try to install an eariler version? I don't have many add-ons and they never caused a problem before.

    Every since I updated to version 4 my browser has been constantly crashing, especially when I have a few tabs open. I need to give up on this version. My computer is windows XP sp3. Can I uninstall version 4 and install an earlier version and still get my add-ons? I don't have many, but xmarks and firebug are important to me.
    Now this form is malfunctioning.

    Try to uninstall the current Java version and maybe delete the Java installation folder (C:\Java) if that didn't work.
    You can also use the JavaRa Uninstaller.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
