Library organisation and ripping advice

Hi
I have recently purchased an ipod Nano(8gb)and have had a 2nd gen shuffle for about 6 month.
Prior to getting an iPod and using iTunes, I had a Creative Zen Xtra. I have ripped the majority of my cd's to my hd (10000+ @128kbs and all in mp3 format) via Musicmatch.
All my music is kept in My Documents/Jukebox/[Artist]/Artist-Trackname.mp3 and this has served me well and managed to successfully import all into iTunes.
I still have 40% of my cd's to import which I would normally rip via Musicmatch but its not recognising as many of my cd's via online lookup and having to manually type in.
iTunes is far superior in recognising the cd and aslo getting the album art (which I want now as have nano).
There are also some cd's that I want to complete,i.e I burned the cd but just the album tracks,not the single releases as they were ripped for the single cd. Obviously according to iPod when you choose that album, it has 'gaps' in the track number and does not associate the single with the album.
I was thinking of biting the bullet and ripping all my cd's again via iTunes to make everything consistent Artist/Album/Trackname - then renaming files Artist-Trackname.mp3
Is there a more refined and quicker solution than this?
Thanks in advance
Graeme

Hi
Thanks for the info. Maybe I didn't explain myself very well
When I ripped my cd's over a period of many months (I ripped them all via Musicmatch and made sure that the ID tags for trackname , artist and album were filled correctly. I then used the feature inside musicmatch to use the artist and trackname tags to create the filename.
I then used to put all the files into their own artist subdirectory. So far so good.
However since using iTunes I have now run into 3 problems:-
1) I would now like to fill in the Year , Album art and genre tag fields for each track with as automated an approach as possible. I know iTunes would do this if I reimported all cd's but this would take ages (Library is around 12000 tracks).
2) Each artist folder is not subdivided, there is no heirarchy, so all Oasis tracks for example are in folder called Oasis. I would like to be able to take this directory and have a folder for each album, like itunes does. All the tags are there for it to be done, just looking again for software to automate this process.
3) To try and reduce duplicates, I used to omit tracks from albums that I had the singles for, and just rip the single. This was fine but now on my iPod if i choose an album there may be 3 or 4 tracks missing. I know want to go back and import those tracks I omitted so the album is complete, irrespective of how many times that track now appears, so i can play album in it's entirety. So I am looking for a quick way to do this.
I can't really notice a difference between 128 and 192, however i may have selective hearing so i don't have to rip all my cd's again :0)
Cheers
Graeme

  • HT1391 I have accidantally created anoth iTunes library file and ripped a lot of music in it. Than I discovered that this music was not arrived in one library file. Know I would like to merge all my music in one library file but don't see which library is

    Hi,
    Regarding my Itunes library:
    I'll try to explain my situation  (sorry for my english).
    I have a networkdrive where all my music is stored on. Itunes is installed on my macbook and I entered the network drive as my media file location. 
    I use my macbook to rip music and buy itunes music assuming it will all be placed in the media folder that I once entered.
    Recently I found out that itunes had changed the location of my media folder to the local drive.
    Since a time now (I can't exactly say when) I'm ripping many of my music collection to itunes.
    Today i discovered the change of my media file location by itunes after I ripped some collections. When clicking the info button on some of the ripped files I see that they are not stored on my networkdrive, very normal, since the location of the media file is changed to local computer.
    When I look in the finder I can find a local libray file (xml file) from 13 april and also one on my network drive but the date is from March. So this one is even older.
    I suppose that the libray file is updated each time I add a song in itunes. So there must be anonther library file somewhere?
    Is there a way to see which libarary file is used in itunes? I know you can start Itunes with the option key to select another library file but is it also possible to view in itunes which library file is used so I can consult the path of the library file in use?
    What should i do to put all the local music to to my network drive and update the correct library to the new location of these files?
    Why is there no alert when Itunes changes the location of the media files path?
    Thanks

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • I have a large library that I ripped in AIFF using iTunes.  I converted to Mp3 to save drive space, keeping the originals. I have a new computer and want to revert to my original files. iTunes sees the library but is looking for Mp3 files.  Suggestions?

  • MediaSource Organiser and Player not work

    I have just installed my Audigy 2 ZS and all the software and the updates on Windows XP Pro SP2.
    Firstly - MediaSource Organiser
    I cannot create a music library. The program says it is due to a corrupt MS Jet4 install - I have installed SP8 for MS Jet4 and it works fine with my VB6 VB.NET and other programming languages. Organiser can play CD's and rip the tracks to disk but cannot get info on the CD or play the MP3 files back. It crashes.
    Secondly - MediaSource Player crashes whenever I try to play the MP3 or wave files on my system.
    Both give the following error -
    AppName: ctcms.exe AppVer: 2.2.5.0 ModName: ctmycomp.dco
    ModVer: 2.0..0 Offset: 0000afe0
    "Referenced memory 0x00000008 could not be read."
    WinAmp works fine.
    Window Media Player 0 works fine
    iPod iTunes works fine.
    I don't mind using software that works and can do with our Creative Software but it is a frustrating problem.

  • TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

    Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
    Examples of what is going on:
    1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
    2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
    3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
    It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.5
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    iTunes 11.0.4 (4)

    Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
    Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
    Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

    I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
    All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
    Do you have any suggestions.

  • Mixed library - managed and referenced - and not sure what's best

    I've just come back to try iPhoto after a long time away. In the old days I used it exclusively to manage my photo library but wasn't a fan of how it forced all my photos into it's slightly unfriendly folder structure in the Finder and hence sort of force me to only ever use iPhoto to manage them.
    I graduated to learning Photoshop, got a DSLR, ditched iPhoto and maintained my own folder structure on the Finder. I was happy!
    But now I've got iPhoto '08 and I see you can import to iPhoto but NOT copy to the Library. Great! So I've started loading in all my personal 'event' photos as opposed to the more arty stuff that 75% of my photos consist of. It's nice to view them in iPhoto. But now it's getting complex. Now I have some older photos from before that are managed wholesale by the app, and all these others that are allegedly only 'referenced'. So, why is the Library expanding pretty heavily? And why, if I move a photo or even delete it in the Finder, are those changes not reflected whatsoever in iPhoto. What's actually going on in that Library???
    Furthermore, some of these new photos are Adobe RGB and others are sRGB. If I want to print a photobook via iPhoto, do I need to change them all to sRGB to maintain consistent colour in the book? And does that mean deleting all the photos in iPhoto, re-saving the originals as sRGB, then re-importing the referenced files? I ask because like I say, changing the FInder-based files does not seem to reflect in iPhoto.
    So far I'm not liking this. I'm very unwilling to import duplicates into the Library, thereby doubling the space taken up by my images!

    owen-b
    Here's my 2 cents.
    Best option: let iPhoto manage the files.
    2nd best option: You manage them
    Recipe for Disaster: A mixture.
    Here's why: The folder structure in iPhoto is very plain and easy to follow (and has been since v6 - which is also when the ability to reference files came in). A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
    You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
    Finding files is easy: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop or any editor as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.
    If you run iPhoto outside the default setting, with referenced files, then you become responsible for all the file management. Importing and deleting are multi-stage operations and migrating to a new disk or Mac can be more complex. To be honest - and always allowing for personal preference - I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    The problem with the third option - mixed - is that it's far too easy to forget who's managing which file - you or the app - and that way, data loss lies.
    To specific questions:
    And why, if I move a photo or even delete it in the Finder, are those changes not reflected whatsoever in iPhoto.
    iPhoto is a database. Like any database it cannot know about changes you make outside of the application. Think of it this way. You hire a filing clerk, let the clerk loose organising your files. Then the clerk goes home for the day and you go into the filing room and re-arrange things. Next day you complain because the clerk can't find your files?
    If you use iPhoto referencing your files, then deleting is a two stage process. Move the files to the iPhoto trash and empty it removes them from iPhoto. Then remove them from your own filing structure. If iPhoto manages the files, trashing them in iPhoto removes them from the HD as well. Moving files around in the Finder is hiding them from the filing clerk
    So, why is the Library expanding pretty heavily?
    Check out the structure of the library as described above. In the referenced library the Originals is populated with aliases, but the Modifieds does include pics that are flagged for auto rotation.
    I'm very unwilling to import duplicates into the Library, thereby doubling the space taken up by my images!
    Understandable. So don't waste the space. Let iPhoto manage the files and trash your own structure! A big leap, perhaps too big, so think about the referenced format. However, I have to say that a mixed library increases the risk of data loss exponentially.
    I'll leave the questions on color management to those more knowledgeable than me.
    Hope that helps.

  • Library naming and sorting strategy

    Hi all
    I am new to Aperture and before I start importing all my pics I am trying to determine my filing strategy. Basically my pictures consists of Holiday Snaps and hobby Portfolio type pics.
    I am thinking of creating two libraries. One Snaps and One Portfolio. Then categorising by dates then events within each.
    I would be interested in hearing how you guys are organising your pictures so that I can finalise my method.
    Thanks Carlo

    Reading this
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11232422#11232422
    will help you think through determining your filing strategy. Many things work. Try to define your needs. Make practice Libraries (a few Projects with photos) and use them to test your structure.
    I'd put them all in one Library. (What about those great family shots that should be in your portfolio? The ones that you cropped and tweaked -- in which Library? -- and want to re-tweak for something you just thought of?) I would not categorize by date (Ap3 has that built-in). I would settle on a file-naming convention and stick to it rigorously (and I would start every file name with "YYYY-MM-DD_"). The benefits of a referenced Library are more than worth the small set-up cost (in time).
    I now keep three root folders in my Library:
    • New Imports
    • Store & Cure
    • Serve
    I create a new Project for every shoot.
    . Projects stay in the Folder "New Projects" until I have stacked, keyworded, added "Places" information, written a short description in the Project description field (including some text tags I use to track the development of the shots in the Project), and made my initial "selects". Since I am moving tens of thousands of images into Aperture, I find it useful to sequester the Projects which have been imported but not had any "intake" administration done to them or their images.
    . Projects are then moved into the "Store & Cure" Folder, under which I have a full hierarchy of Folders which meet my needs. You may have two second-level Folders, "Family" and "Art Shots". This will allow you to quickly search on one, the other, or both. I do adjustments on my "selects" within the "Store & Cure" Folder.
    . My third top-level folder does not contain any Projects. It is for output. Here I create albums (Smart or otherwise) for each of the Clients/jobs/sets/projects (small "p") that I have -- essentially, every group of images that is going to be output as a group. I have a Smart Album called "Portfolio" here (based on keyword). I plan on setting up two second-level folders: "Active" and "Archive".
    I am, admittedly, overly hierarchical, and wont to expand functionality obsessively. Ap3 gives the user +tremendously useful tools+ for file and image management. I hope my details give you some ideas as to how to best exploit those tools for your needs.

  • IPhoto library size and movie imports - getting HUGE!

    In iPhoto 08- (in my primary library) I have 23,000 photos, and about 300 movies (some MPEG) from an older Sony digicam, and now I have a Canon Powershot TX1 which is a flash based still digicam/720P HD camcorder that captures very large AVI's (depending on shot length, they range from 30MB to 400-500MB). I know I can choose on import to not bring them into iPhoto, and just bring in the still shots. However, it does make it easy to bring them into iPhoto along with the still pics, but I am concerned about the growing size of my 45GB library (1 of 3 libraries - I have not been splitting them up in the last couple of years, relying on the fact that iPhoto is stable with very large libraries- and going to enable a Time Capsule w/ Time Machine very soon). Time Capsule would save me here, right? Am I playing with fire here on the library size, and setting myself up for a crash?? There are so many downsides to multiple libraries when it comes to projects, searches, imports, etc. I'd love to know that I can safely stick with one.
    Wondering also if I should NOT import the movies into iPhoto, and keep them seperate? The benefit to doing this, is that we can post MULTIPLE movies to the .Mac gallery at the same time, and have them appear as seperate movies...whereas in iMovie 08, if I put a bunch of clips into a project to post to .Mac gallery, it compiles them as a single movie - which is, many times, not what we want.
    Any advice here is greatly appreciated!!!

    GaryFL1:
    You might consider creating a separate library for the movies and see if that will speed up your primary library. If you needed a movie in an album to create a web gallery you could put it in an album in the Movie Library and copy that album to your working library.
    A lot of iPhoto's quickness depends on both CPU power, RAM and free space on your boot drive. I would imagine your iMac would be your primary iPhoto machine and it should meet the CPU and memory criteria. How about your free space?
    Time Machine is a very good backup device in my experience. Depending on how big your backup drive is and how much you're backing up, you can go back in time a fair amount. I've got a 750 GB TM drive backing up my boot drive and one external. It now goes back 5 1/2 weeks for me.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Backing up and restoring library to and from external HD

    Newbie to iTunes since I got my iPhone. I'm asked periodically to back up my library to CDs. Can I back up per my question, and in the event of the unthinkable total crash of my Mac can I restore from the external HD? Is there a method to do this or some additional software necessary? I currently copy my iTunes folder to my external HD every time I add anything to iTunes.
    Thanks,
    CD3

    Yes, you can restore your music folder from a backup HD. Assuming the backup folder is organized exactly like the original, it would just be a matter of copying the backup folder into the position of the original. You can use a regular file backup program to automate the backup process. SuperDuper! is one; there are certainly others that have their fans.
    It's also a good idea to back up your iTunes Library file. A completely functioning iTunes music library is made up of the iTunes Library file and the associated iTunes Music folder. The library file is a directory file and contains vital data about the music library.

  • I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync it to one library.  I want to sync it to the previous library but how do I get it to go there?

    I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync to one library.  I want to sync it to the original library bc that is the one that has all songs.  It keeps giving me a library with just songs that I have bought on itunes.  I never created a new library so I am not sure why it is doing this.  How do I get it to sync to my original library?  I have already tried to restore a previous version of itunes but that did not help.

    It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files.  It happens sometimes.  To recovery:
    - Import the old music into the current iTunes library
    - Make sure all the apps are also in the library
    - If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
    - After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. 
    - Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

  • Photos in Library module and after export look different than in Development module

    Hello,
    I experience a problem.
    After I update photos in the Development module, the updates seem not to be shown in the Library module. And when I subsequently export to Flickr, Flickr is also showing the original photo, not the adapted one.
    I noticed this the first time after making Blacks a bit deeper, causing a sunflower to become a deeper yellow. I thought that my adaptations were not applied in the Library module. After I checked with cranking down the Saturation all the way back (to almost black-and-white), that adaptation WAS applied in the Library view. So it had to be something else, causing the same color difference between the Library and Development modules.
    When I switch from the Library module to the Development module, I see a slight delay in applying my changes, but they are applied. Before they are applied, I can see that the original photo is shown and that looks the same as in the Library module and on Flickr.
    The photostrip on the bottom of the Lightroom screen also shows the original photos only, unless I go to the development module and select a photo (adaptations are applied in the photostrip after I select the photo, not before).
    After I played a bit more in the Development module, I found something strange in the Camera Calibration menu of the Development module. The Adobe Profile (my default) caused an obvious color difference between the Library (less saturated) and the Development (more saturated) modules. The Camera Standard profile also showed a (very) slight difference, but I was unable to notice the differences using the other profiles.
    So I was thinking (but it's only a guess), that the profiles are not applied in the Library view and on export, but they are in the Development module?
    I use Lightroom 5.6, Camera RAW 8.6.
    Please help me, as this is very annoying. I currently cannot export my photos to Flickr or anywhere else, unless I overcompensate before exporting. And I really don't want to do that. My Lightroom photo is my perfect photo, and I want to keep it that way...
    Many thanks in advance for any help,
    Peter

    Hi ssprengel,
    Thanks for your reply. Let me react to each possibility you mention and provide some extra information.
    - "Check your Export / File Settings / Image Format and make sure they are set to JPG not Original". Done that, it's not on Original, but on jpg. This would not explain why I see the difference in the Library and Development modules, by the way. But better to know for sure.
    - "...the most likely thing that is wrong is your color-management on your computer is not working properly". It is a PC with Windows 7. I have been using Lightroom for maybe 6 years and I never had this problem before. The last time I changed my setup is more than a year ago and this problem only started to happen a short while ago (after the update to Lightroom 5.6? I'm not sure, but that's the only thing that has changed lately). I use a Spider to create a custom profile that is correct for my setup and do a regular update on the profile.
    - "what brand and model of monitor do you have?" I have an EIZO FlexScan S2411W and use that for a long time as well. I chose this brand of monitors for its good color reproduction and I have been happy with it for years now.
    What I am not getting is why would all this show a difference between the Library and Development module? The only difference is the Lightroom software that is switching from one module to another, and that should deliver the same photo. I'm also stating in my first post that the differences are very noticeable using the Adobe Standard Camera Profile in the Development module. I have a feeling that the profile is part of the problem.
