Managing both Lossless and MP3/AAC versions of the same album

I've recently decided to keep a lossless version of some albums along with their mp3/aac counterparts. I would want to use the lossless version on my Apple TV to which I have a nice audio setup. I would use the mp3/aac version to go to my ipods (touch & nano). I was thinking of just keeping two playlists and selectively syncing to the appropriate device But will there be any collisions since the tags on the lossless and mp3/aac tracks will me the same (same album, same song, etc.) Do I have to modify any of these so they dont conflict? Thanks for your advice in advance!

Thanks for the info. But it looks kinda messy. And you have to have the ipods manually managed. I'm thinking it would be easier to change the album title to "title MP3" to distinguish it from the lossless copy instead of doing all this encoding work. I was hoping there would be a cleaner way to do it.

    I'm specifically looking at Lightroom. Looks like I will be able to run both platforms... Now to figure out a goo file managment system if I'm editing photos on both systems.
    I travel with a PC laptop (can't afford a MAC yet) so I will do some editing on the road for posts to facebook etc. and the heavy editing on the IMAC when we get back from holiday.
    Thanks for your help.

  • TS3988 Hi both myself and my wife are on the same account so we receive each others contacts and I messages. How can I get my wife a separate I'D but keep her on the account so she can still purchase items on the account thanks Gary Eveling

    Hi. Both myself and my wife are on the same account meaning same credit card. The problem with this is we both receive each others contacts and see each others I messages.
    How can my wife have a different name so we are separate on such things as contacts and I message but she can still purchase items on the account.
    Many thanks

    You entered your wife's seperate AppleID? Check you can login with the same AppleID here: http://appleid.apple.com/ on a computer.

    How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    Thanks for digging out the facts.
    You have a 1st Generation Time Capsule.
    Your model can produce two bands....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....but not both simultaneously.
    You would need a Generation 2, 3 or 4 Time Capsule for simultaneous dual band capability.

  • I downloaded two versions of the same album by mistake can I get a refund on one?

    I downloaded two versions of the same album, one staight after the other, I've been charged for both, can I get one removed and a refund?

    Carol,
    William Lloyd said it all, but perhaps Kirby Krieger's User Tip will explain a bit more the different uses of albums and projects:
                       The Well-Trod Path: a Beginner's Guide to how Aperture's major parts inter-relate
    Then I imported into Aperature, created new versions, one for each snapshot, then cropped each snapshot, so each snapshot is seperate in Aperature.
    You want to find each snapshot separately in Aperture? Perhaps you could explain more, how you want to organize your photos. William pointed out albums to group versions of an image. You could also assign keywords to mark special occasions like birthdays, weddings, etc.  You could assign faces to find photos of persons by name. You can use the search field in the browser to search for photos by face, date, keyword, etc.  Aperture is really great for accessing images in many different ways. There must be a way to access the images in your Aperture library just like you want to.
    Then, I tried to organize the ton of photos into projects and it won't let multiple versions of the same original photo be in separate projects.
    That is, how Aperture works. All versions of an image need to be in the same project, because they are sharing the same imported original image file. Aperture tries to save your disk space, by by not creating image files for the edited versions. Versions are just a set of instructions how to produce the rendered image, when you want to edit it or to export it. Unless you are working with the version, it will live in limbo and it will not exist as an image file. So all versions are kept together in the same project with the original image file that is necessary to render them as an image.

  • I pre-ordered two versions of the same album on ITunes! How to stop?

    So a few minutes ago I accidently preordered 2 versions of the same album on Itunes on my dell laptop! I want to cancel one, but i dont know how! It told me that you pay for it when it is realsed in November so I have not payed yet for either.

    Select all the songs from the album, choose File--> Get Info, then under the Album area, type in the appropriate album title.  They should all appear under one album at that point.

  • Itunes two versions of the same album?

    Hello,
    I have two versions, high res audio and CD quality, of the same album of an artist located in two folders "Album Title" and "Album Title HD".
    By adding the two folders to the iTunes mediathek, all tracks are merged under "Album Title" in iTunes. Do I have to manipulate the meta data to avoid this behavior in iTunes? Interestingly the views on the Mac and via iOS Remote App are different:
    Mac:
    Track 1
    Track 1 HD
    Track 2
    Track 2 HD
    etc.
    Rmote App:
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track Last
    Track 1 HD
    Track 2 HD
    I disabled the automatic handling option for iTunes import. So still two folders in the iTunes music folder exist.
    Any ideas?
    Andreas

    If you want them to appear as separate albums you will have to change the metadata for one of the albums.  There are many ways to do this and which one you use will depends upon your preferences.
    You can make it obvious by doing something such as adding a descriptor to the album name e.g., Album Name [CD quality]
    You can "hide".  If you do not normally use the album artist field and you add an album artist to that field for one of the versions it will cause that to sort separately.  Similarly if you add a number to the disc number field that should normally get it to display separately.
    Alternatively you can come up with a smart playlist to sort according to kind.

  • Managing both Lossless and AAC music folders

    Hello, I am trying to have two music folders with identical songs from my imported CDs, but with different encoding formats. I would like to have one folder with Apple Lossless encoding, so I can stream high-quality music to my home stereo. I would then like to have another folder of the same music, but converted to AAC compression so I can load that music onto my iPod.
    Does anyone have suggestions as to how I can do this? I know I need to import the music from the CD first with Lossless encoding; and I've done this. I now need to find a way to convert all these files (as a copy) to AAC in a different folder/playlist so they can fit in my iPod's limited storage space.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!
    Tyler Stableford

    Managing two folders the way you want to do it, is not possible in iTunes itself.
    There are 3rd party scripts and applications that might do it, for example iTunes Library Manager.
    If you like to have both formats available at the same time, you could do next:
    Import all CDs in Apple Losless.
    Take care that all info is the way you like; if you convert them, you have to correct wrong info twice.
    Convert all lossless tracks to AAC.
    Make two Smart Playlists (e.g. iPod music and Home music)
    Include a rule in the iPod playlist not to contain 'Apple Lossless audio file'
    To give an example:
    I don't care about what's all in the library; it's the main container for my multimedia.
    So I've set some rules for my 'Music Library', a Smart Playlist.
    I've set it to:
    Match all of the following rules:
    Podcast is false
    Kind is not mpeg audio stream
    Genre does not contain audiobook
    etc.
    You could make two almost identical playlists.
    'Home Music' containing the rule: Kind is not Apple lossles....
    'iPod Music' containing the rule: Kind is Apple Lossless...
    You can make other Smart playlists which depend on the contents of these two 'music libraries'.
    Hope this helps.

  • Both headphones and speakers play aloud at the same time, why???

    I have just purchased macbook pro... im in windows XP right now. I installed an mp3 player, Winamp, put my headphones on and the music comes through the headphones AND the speakers on the laptop at the same time. Why is this? I thought sound is muted on the computer once you plug the headphones in. Any ideas or suggestions is appreciated!! thanks

    I originally posted in another posting, didn't realize this was posted twice. In case, you didn't realize you posted twice,I'll copy my reply in both messages.
    The sound card on the macbook has a combined optical digital audio output/headphone out (minijack). So sound is being piped out both sound outputs in OSX and XP.
    The difference comes in because XP and the windows sound drivers for that card, do not know how to handle dual digital audio outputs and instead of shutting down the internal digital speakers(on our Macbook)when say your headphones are plugged in, windows just leaves both digital outputs open.
    To resolve this issue, contact Apple or the soundcard vendor to obtain a Windows XP driver that supports digital output on the dual-mode analog/digital capable sound card.
    To work around this issue, use analog speakers or headphones.
    Hope this Helps!

  • Can we have both 9i and 10g db running on the same machine

    Hi,
    I want to to exp/imp upgrade of my 9i db to 10g db.
    Can I have both 10g and 9i installed on the same server?
    Thanks,
    Kavitha

    Yes, provided that the HW, OS version and Patch level are certified for both 9i and 10g.
    Install 10g into a seperate ORACLE_HOME -- whether under the same "oracle" account or a different (e.g. "oracle10g" account).
    However, you should consider 11g as 10g is being desupported this month (i.e. no new patches / fixes will be available for 10g)

  • Access two EAS with different Essbase versions and different java versions from the same p.c.

    Hi,
    I need to regularly access Essbase 11.1.2.2. and Essbase 11.1.2.3 EAS from the same client machine.
    They are on, and must be on, different versions of java, is there a way to have both versions of java installed but each using the correct version and without the two java versions causing any kind of problems?
    thanks,
    Robert.

    Hi Robert...  I assume this is web-launched?
    I spent a day or so trying understand the intricacies of the JNLP protocol and create shortcuts that will invoke web-launched EAS with the appropriate version of Java.  I can get one version of EAS to use the 1.6 Java Web Launcher, and the other version of EAS to use the 1.7 Java Web Launcher - but both Web Launchers eventually invoke the same version of Java!  There are switches in the JNLP syntax that seem like they should allow you choose the actual Java version that gets invoked, but I just could not make it work.
    You can use the Java Control Panel (in Control Panel) to enable and disable the relevant versions before launching EAS.
    If you find otherwise I would love to know (or if you find out how to control which versions are enabled or disabled via command-line script).

  • Itunes charged me for the uncensored and censored version of the same album

    It said purchasing album I confirmed but when I left the room my laptop was closed. It didn't ending up downloading at all so i re downloaded the album or so I thought. Itunes dose not say if the album is explit or not when u buy it so it turns out it bought the clean version and the explit because I thought I hit the explit album both times. Any one know how I can get my $13  back ? thank you

  • Submit an ePub AND an iBooks version of the same book?

    So, my e-book is finally in the iBookstore (http://bit.ly/stock_footage_itunes).  I think it looks good in the standard iBook reader on both the iPhone and iPad.  But, I'd like to also submit it in the new iBooks Author format for more funcationality like quizzes and embedded video support.
    My question is this: am I able to submit an "enhanced edition" of what is essenitally the same content that is already offered on the book store, and be able to charge a dollar or two more?  Or, will I go thru the effort of converting my book and buying another ISBN, only to have Apple reject my "second" edition due to duplcation?
    Anyone ever done something similar?  I think it's a valid procuedue; the "regular" ePub version is for the iPod touch and iPhone (and the iPad if the user desires), and the "enhanced" edition would be for those on iPads who want a more enriched experience.
    Thoughts?

    Yes, I have done this. We did a standard text edition as an ePub, and an enhanced version for $4 USD more. We did use two separate ISBN numbers.
    There is even a field in the ITunes Producer app when you upload your book, to specify any related versions of your title, including other electronic versions as well as a print version, etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to delete photo's from both Iphoto and source (external HD) at the same time

    I've seen a few postings on this but none seem to answer the quetion.  Sorry if this is a duplicate and I coudn't find the answer.
    I have an external HD with over 4GB of pictures in various folders and subfolders.  I would like to import one folder at a time and go through the photo's using iPhoto to choose which ones I want to keep and which ones I don't.  If I come accross a picture I don't like I would like to delete it in iPhoto and at the same time have it deleted from my external HD.  I have tried the following with no success:
    1. Import photo's to iPhone and delete photo's I don't want.  I did this in the photo's view, not events or albums.
    2. After deleting the photo's I empited the iPhoto recyling bin which then sends the photo's to my Macbook pro recycle bin
    3. I then emptied the macbook pro recyle bin. 
    From what I've read this is how you're supposed to be able to delete photo's permantently form you HD or External HD.  The photo's I delete never end up getting erased from my external HD though.  So now I'm still stuck with a back up of a bunch of pictures I don't want on my external HD.  They are gone from iPhoto but this doesn't help or avoid taking up space.  This only cleans up iPhoto library but not my actual external HD.
    So am I correct that there actually isn't any way to do this other than going through the photo's on my external HD using Finder and deleting them before importing to iPhoto?

    A managed library is the default type that iPhoto creates.  Make sure you have the option selected to copy photos into iPhoto when importing:
    was hoping it would at least keep thumbnails of all my photo's.
    I use a DAM (digital asset management) program which will do exactly what you want: Media Pro 1.  It creates catalogs (libraries) of thumbnails, up to 640 x 480, that is uses to manage the photos.  You can do anything to the photos except edit, slideshows, or anything that requires the full source image when the source files are not available.  You can arrange  photos in Catalog Sets (like iPhoto albums), add keywords, etc. to them even when the sorce files are not available.  When the source files are available you can write that metadata to the source file and rename files. You can use Media Pro in demo mode for about a month I believe. 
    A catalog file for 44,000 photos (178 GB) with the thumbnails set for 320 pixels at high resolution is only 1.5 GB. The larger the thumbnail selected the larger the catalog file will be.
