Meta data - what is stored in the file and what is JUST referenced in Itunes

wondering if anyone knows why some data is ONLY store in itunes but not pernament added to the 'get info' for the file.
example beats per minute .
I would think that ALL info added to a file in itunes would be stored in the 'get info' section of the actual file.
is there a doc that details what is store and what is not.
thanks

Fritz,
BPM is definitely stored in the MP3 file, and will be there if you copy the file and use it somewhere else.
Like Limnos, I have not see a nice summary, but here are the basics:
Identifying information about the song, such as Artist, Title, Year, etc are stored as tags in the file for most audio types. The exception is WAV files, which have limited tag capability.
Library-specific information, such as Date Added, Last Played, Play Count, etc, are stored in the library, not in the file.
And then there are some complicated things:
iTunes puts the Rating in the library, even though the tag is capable of storing it (and other players, such as WMP, use the rating tag).
Artwork is in the song file if it was added by pasting in using Get Info, but is in the Artwork folders if it was added using the Get Album Artwork command.

What Song Info is Stored in the File?

Can anyone tell me which pieces of information about a song are stored in the song's file (as opposed to being stored in some iTunes database file)? I know Title, Artist, Genre, and artwork are, and that rating and play count are not, but what about:
- "Part of a Compilation" status
- Beats Per Minute
- Grouping
- Lyrics
- Start and end time (see the "options section")
- Equalizer Presets
I'm considering moving some of my iTuens music to an external drive, but apparently the only way to do this is to remove it from iTunes and then re-import it (see Mike G., "Moving Lossless files to an external drive" #4, 05:09pm Nov 6, 2005 CDT ), which will cause me to lose all song information that isn't stored in the song files themselves...
Thanks!

For M4A and MP3 files...
These are in the iTunes Library only:
-- Playlists
-- Ratings
-- Play Count
-- Last Played
-- Date Added
-- Date Modified
-- Equalizer
-- Volume Adjustment
These are stored in the music file itself:
-- Artist
-- Album
-- Song Title
-- Year
-- Comments
-- Genre
-- Grouping
-- Volume Adjustment (a special iTunes only tag in the file - non-standard)
-- Composer
-- Bit Rate (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- BPM
-- Kind (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- Album Art (only stored in the file - not copied to the iTunes Library ITL or XML files)
You can keep the Ratings, Play Count, Last Played attributes with Otto42s SaveRatings tool:

Having trouble converting array to spreadsheet string, storing the file and coverting back to array with complex numbers

I am working with a network analyzer. I have arrays made of 5 columns the first consisting of an integer and the next four consisting of complex numbers. I am converting the array into a spreadsheet string and then saving the file using the write characters to a file VI. That seems to work well as when I open the file in Excel all the data is there. However when I try to reverse the process, open file and convert back to array, I loose some of the data. Specifically the imaginary parts of my complex numbers are all going to zero. I have narrowed down the problem to be in the conversion from spreadsheet string to array and vice versa. I
think the problem may be with the 'format' input to the VI. I do not have an adequate resource for this so I am not sure what to put in to accomplish my task. Any takers?

Hi Biz
I don't think there is a direct way of converting a complex number to a
string, so when you convert the array to a spreadsheet string, the
numbers would be converted to real data.
However, you could try separating the real and imaginary parts using the
"Numeric: Complex to Re/Im" function, and then store these - either in
separate files or in adjacent columns/rows in the same file. Then, when
you read in the data again, use the "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function
to put the two "halves" together.
If you actually want Excel to interpret the numbers as imaginary, then
you'll probably want to create a string for each complex number of the
form "Re + Im*i" (after separating the Re and Im parts), by using
"String:Format into String" with 2 numeric inputs and the format string
"%f+%fi".
Reading the data back into Labview then would require splitting the
string into the 2 pieces by using "Stringcan from String" with 2
numeric outputs (smae precision as original numbers specified by the 2
Default Value inputs) and the same format string "%f+%fi", and then using
the above-mentioned "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function. It worked for
me, so if you can't follow what I am describing, send me an email and I
can email you what I did (LV 5.1.1).

Can you customize report "page" tabs so they are named automatically from data in the file, and can you add "pages" dynamically?

I am looking to develop a dynamic report template for our internal reporting use. Namely, I am looking for the ability to do two things:
1) Update the names of the tabs at the bottom of the report template (lets call them the "pages" of the report) from data stored within the file (for instance, label a tab with the "description" property from a given group or channel)
2) Add additional tabs with associated graphs based on the number of groups a particular file has (for instance, a particular component could have a test life of 2000 hrs, but have been put through several different tests along the way. It would be nice to show an overall life summary on the first tab, and then break out the data from the individual tests on seperate tabs with labels specific to that test, such as test #, etc.)
Any ideas on how this may (or may not) be done?

Hi SethRow187,
Let's take this one step at a time, starting with the one REPORT sheet per Data Portal Group request. This is something that I do all the time, and I have developed lots of standard functions that I can re-use quickly and easily. DIAdem has the basic functions which enable this, but it takes quite a few commands to get this to work the way you and I want with absolute control.
In the "Group Sheets General" example I'm attaching below, the same REPORT layout TDR file is loaded once for each Data Portal Group, and then subsequently altered programmatically so that all the Group references in the REPORT objects (graphs, tables, text boxes) are replaced with references to the current Group. This results in N REPORT sheets where each sheet has explicit references to a particular Group.
In the "Group Sheets Simple" example I'm attaching below, again the same REPORT layout TDR file is loaded once for each Data Portal Group, but in this case no further change is made to each REPORT sheet after it is loaded. This results in N REPORT sheets which are absolutely identical in content to each other and which all reference the default Group. They appear different when refreshed because in each sheet, under its "Settings>>Layout Setup>>Worksheet Parameters" dialog there is a command configured to run each time the sheet is refreshed-- this command uses the current REPORT sheet index to set the corresponding Group to be the default Group.
In both cases the name of the Group is used for the REPORT sheet, which is convenient in that both Group names and REPORT sheet names are required to be unique, but you could use the Group description or any other property instead as long as you ensure that it has not already been used to name a previous REPORT sheet.
I also have scripts to concatenate the contents of N Groups into a new Group, located at the top of the Data Portal, and this combined with the below attached applications would give you the lead off overview REPORT sheet you mentioned.

I've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

i've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my iTunes software current over the past year, but have found the easiest way to remedy the issue is to simply download the latest version of iTunes as though I am a first-time user and then just install it into the directory my current version of iTunes is using. Doing this has allowed me to update my software without losing any of my media/data. Hope this helps! Best of luck!!!

Read the file and write the data into string or int

Ok, here's another rookie question.
I got to read the line from the file and store it in the memory as string or integer.
I wrote this code:
File inputFile = new File("c:/xxx.yyy");
String outputString = new String();
FileReader c1 = new FileReader(inputFile);
StringWriter d1 = new StringWriter(outputString);
int data;
         while((data = c1.read()) != -1)
             d1.write(data);
             System.out.println(data);
         c1.close();
         d1.close();This is how I see it, but it cannot be even compiled because there is no such thing as StringWriter(String) wich I find completely irrational. So tell me, am I retarded or what? No, but seriosly, please help the newbie to understand these streams, am I supposed to use some kind of buffer? Any help appreciated.

A String is an immutable. You cannot update a String.
A new String() is basically the same as an empty String ""
An empty StringWriter can be created with new StringWriter().
If you use a BufferedReader you can call readLine().
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
String line;
while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}

META data - what is critical?

Hello friends!
Can someone please elaborate on the essentials of META data (what do I keep in, take out, etc.). If it varies by purpose of website, please share!
One of my websites is for web design service, so anything relating to this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Ken D

Meta keywords are of marginal value if any.
Meta descriptions are useful, and should be short (less than about 155 characters) and specific to the mission of each individual page.
This quote is taken from http://seomoz.org -
The meta description tag serves the function of advertising copy, drawing readers to a website from the results and thus, is an extremely important part of search marketing. Crafting a readable, compelling description using important keywords can draw a much higher click-through rate of searchers to the given web page. To maximize click-through rates on search engine result pages, it's important to note that Google and other search engines bold keywords in the description when they match search queries.
That's about it.

If I cancel my Adobe subscription, can I still access my data that is stored in the cloud?

If I cancel my Adobe subscription, can I still access my data that is stored in the cloud? Just curious....and what about retrieving data from the cloud? How can that be accomplished?

Your storage is tied to your subscription, so no, you won't be able to access your data after you quit. I'm not clear on what you are asking otherwise - you can download any content from the cloud by simply clicking on the relevant links/ preview images.

Deleting files and emptying your recycle been will help you restore." how am i going to erase files if i can't open my ipad. i dont know what to do. Its been 2 days now. please help. thanks.

yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

Save the file and give date & time stamp

1. Reading the Excel file from the selection screen as a parameter.
2. Using F.M. ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE reading Excel file into
    Internal table.
3. Implementing the Business Logic.
4. Move output to Final Internal table.
5. Final internal table should generate a Flat file. By using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
6. That flat file should be saved with the name and location given in the Excel.
7. When ever I run the program output file will generate in the same location but with date and time stamp. Because Im running the program for range of employees say initially I run for 1 10,000 employees next 10,001- 20,000 like that.
Whenever I run for 2nd time it will overwrite the previous output, thats the reason Im using date and time stamp.
Eg:
PERSONAL Numbers              Name                                         Location
00000001                 xxxxx-24.04.2007-10.30          C:\
00000002                 xxxxx-24.04.2007-10.35
00000003                 xxxxx-25.04.2007-10.40
00000004                                  xxxxx-25.04.2007-10.30
Can any one help me how to save the file and give date & time stamp through hardcode?
please help me in this issue.

I am not clear with your problem. Based on the understanding of your question,
there can be two cases.
1- U want to insert time stamp in the output file.
2- Time stamp is already there, u just have to solve the overwriting issue.
If your question goes with option 2, You can make use of import parameters
<b>CONFIRM_OVERWRITE</b> : Which will ask for confirmation before overwriting.
<b>APPEND</b> : which you can choose either to append the data to the existing file or overwrite it.
Please inform if the issue is not resolved.

You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two. Ask Apple if you don't know how.
I don't do Windows.

I have an iMac, where are the completed print jobs stored on the iMac and what format are they?
My OSX is 10.10.1

Hi
If you are using standard system or HP drivers, than the jobs contents are not saved at all.
You can see the list of completed jobs per printer via this URL: http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/
If you want to save a print job, you can do it in the print dialog, by selecting an action prom "PDF" popup.
It allows to save a job (prior or instead to printing it) as PDF or PostScript.
