Multiple Genres Possible

I just saw this screen shot from the new Apple iPod 101 site. Does this mean we can now assign multiple genres to a song?
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/tunes/2/
It clearly shows three genres in the song's "get info" window separated by commas. Is this now possible?
TiBook, 1GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

For me, "Genre" doesn't matter much either. I don't care how something I listen to is categorized by music critics, or in sales bins. In fact I have very few traditional Genres specified in iTunes. But for iTunes "Genre" can be used in a variety of ways. As Sara points out the Genre can be used to build Smart Playlists. Or it can be used to categorize the music for ease of browsing. Or many other things. So for iTunes' purposes "Genre" is a browsing tool rather than a way to group one type of music together, even though it can also function that way as well.

  • Multiple Genres for one song

    I am not sure if this topic has been covered, as I have had a look and not finding an answer.
    I use iTunes as a music catalogue system. I want to be able to use multiple genres for each song, if possible.
    I want to use something like this:-
    Rock / 70's / 1975.
    If someone or anyone can point me in the right direction, i would be most happy.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Yes you can do that, simply by typing it into the Genre field. When you create your smart playlists, note that a genre of "Rock / 70's / 1975" will not match on Genre is Rock. But it will match on Genre contains Rock.
    You may also want to simplify your life a bit by using the Genre field for the genre and the Year field for the Year.

  • ITunes 10 and multiple Genres/Artists/Composers ;(

    So yeah, i have to bring this up again: multiple genres/artists etc.! This has been requested since iTunes 4 or something. And its not integrated yet.
    Any news on that? It would be such a great improvement for everybody. I know you can do that with smart playlists. But that is not a very smart Solution.
    And also: I want the involed poeple ID3v2 Tag. Especially since they brought Ping now. With that you could follow your favorite drummer or singer.
    Anyway, if you'd like to see this, go and request it.

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1704923
    And for the members in comments tip:
    Yes, i know i can use other Tags, like the comments or the grouping tag, to store that information. But i don't see why i should do that, when the whole purpose of Tags is to give the possibility to store that information in specific tags so it can easly be searched and browsed.
    The standart was set 1999, 11 years ago:
    http://id3.org/id3v2.3.0#head-a0ac5e01361fd414b67a39130716fea4c970e004
    I wonder why Apple, the innovative and detail loving company doesnt care about it.
    So does anybody know if the iTunes Team plans on integrating, multiple values in Tags and in general more ID3v2 support? And if not, why not? What's the issue?

  • Multiple genre assignment feature for songs.

    Hi everyone,
    The question is simple and it's actually a strong recomandation for Apple Teams.
    In order to optimize the organization of songs, we have to be able to assign multiple genre, artists...
    Currently, assigning a song being "OST, Rock, Independant" will create an "OST, Rock, Independant" genre rather than classify it in the three seperate genre folders wich is absurd.
    This subject is discussed for years without any evolution in every mac forums without any results.
    So please folks, make that happen and let's proove Mac think smarter.

    Will it make more money?

  • Multiple Genres with Smart Playlists

    I've searched a lot on this topic and there appears to be little, so I thought I'd post my solution. (itunes 10)
    I create my own genres, such as "Easy Rock Jazz" or "Blues Jazz" or "Blues Rock", etc. Even have some that are "Easy Rock Jazz Blues", meaning the song fits in all those genres.
    Then I create a Smart Playlist that selects any track with genre CONTAINS "Rock". And another with genre contains "Easy". Songs with both Easy and Rock in the multiple genre name end up in both playlists.
    I also have Smart Playlists, such as "Easy 45", which gives me any track with a genre that contains "easy" and is rated by me as > 3 stars.

    This seems like a brilliant idea. I've tried to do the same but the songs aren't appearing in my smart playlist. For example, I have some songs with genres that I created like "Folk Easy" and "Pop Easy". I created a smart playlist that matches genre containing "Easy". Strangely songs aren't appearing in the playlist. However, my smart playlist for "folk" is getting filled with genres like "Folk rock" and "Folk easy". I'm new to this...is there something I'm doing wrong maybe? It seems to be only picking up the first word of the genre. I've made sure to select 'contains'. Many thanks

  • Smart Playlists With Multiple Genres

    How do you create a smart playlist that includes multiple genres? When I try to include more than one, it cancels itself out and creates a blank playlist.

    I tried that. However for some reason if I select more than one genre (say jazz on one line and blues on the other) the playlist comes up empty. If I only select one genre the playlist comes up fine. Go figure.

  • Tooltips with multiple lines possible?

    Hello,
    how is it possible to modify the tooltip so that �t reacts to carriage returns - and shows multiple lines?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanx.
    alex

    Hi,
    I know two possible ways:
    1) The HTML-way like in
    http://javaalmanac.com/egs/javax.swing/tooltip_MultiLineTt.html
    2) Subclass BasicToolTipUI and adjust the its paint() method. Then create a new JToolTip and set your new UI. Next override createToolTip() on those JComponents which should get the new tooltip.

  • SAP CRM multiple clients possible

    Hi,
    We have a NetWeaver  SAP CRM system (ABAP + JAVA) stack.
    We run an internet webshop application on the JAVA stack connected to CRM ABAP stack, client 010. The CRM ABAP stack connects to SAP ERP.
    Q1: Is it possible to add a new client 020 in the ABAP stack of the CRM system?
    Q2: I don't understand in CRM the connection between the JAVA and ABAP stack. If I add a new ABAP client 020, do I need to copy the JAVA stack/client also?
    Who can help me guiding in which direction I have to go?
    Note: We want to connect a non-SAP system to client 020.
    Overview:
    ERP ABAP (client 010)    --> CRM ABAP (client 010) --> CRM JAVA stack
    non-SAP (legacy system) --> CRM ABAP (client 020) --> CRM JAVA stack
    Q3: What are the problems (challenges) I can expect?

    Hi Rene,
    I think it is not supporting multiple clients. Wait for some additional replies.
    Regards,

  • I-cal multiple user possibility?

    I'm trying to make I-cal able to edit and manipulate from multiple computers. For example, My OS at home is mac; I made i-cal and sent it to my .mac account. When at work my OS is PC. I can view my calendar but, I can't make changes to it. My wife has a PC operating system too at work. I want to be able to view my cal at work and make corrections when possible. And have my wife add to my cal when necessary. Can someone help me?

    It certainly works OK with multiple mac computers. We sync the same ical data (with 15 different internal calenders) between two macs in the office and one at home - all synced via .mac.
    If I publish any one calender it can be viewed on a windows machine but that is as far as I can get.
    I would love to be able to use ical or similar on the PC office accounts machine but like you I can't yet.
    Does anyone know if entourage will sync completely with ical via .mac?

  • Multiple writes possible in DS in labview but not in CVI?

    Hi
    Am using Datasocket to communicate between to VI's, In one of the VI's am opening a new dataitem in "readwrite" mode and doing both read and write operation, and in the other VI am just writing on the dataitem by supplying the URL to the write function, surprisingly this is possible even though i havent created the dataitem from DS manager and have not selected the option of "allow multiple writes".
    But if am creating a CVI application, which opens the dataitem in "readwrite" mode, and if i write on that dataitem from labview, it gives me an error, i even tried selecting the "allow multiple write" on this dataitem.
    Please suggest some solution. Also if i open a lot of Dataitems will it cause any problems?, i guess our project needs atleast 100 dataitems if i will have to use command and response in different dataitems.
    thanx for the help

    Hello,
    The following Knowledge Base describes two possible soltions for this issue.
    Why Does My DataSocket Connection in LabVIEW Fail with "Error: Can't connect to data item, another w...
    The second solution is what you have already described with checking the box to Allow Multiple Writers. I am not sure why that is not working in your case, but I would suggest trying the first soltuion suggested in the KB. It involves creating the datasocket item a certain way in LabVIEW, and more details are available in the KB.

  • Single customisation page for multiple portlets - possible ?

    Is it possible to create a single page to customise multiple portlets ?
    Example : select star sign for Horoscope, city for weather, etc on the same page.
    The preference store APIs allow us to set values, but always assuming that we are in a portlets 'edit' mode - we cannot provide the portlet instance ID ourselves.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    You could save your customization information into a custom DB table, rather than using the preference store (which can only be accessed by a particular portlet instance).

  • Travel Mgt: Multiple trips possible in 4.7?

    Hello,
    I am working on ECC 5.0 and I can create more than one trip on the same day. We want to implement also TE for another client who is still on 4.7?  It seems that on 4.7 it is not possible to create multiple trips on the same day.  Am I missing something or is this correct?  If we need ECC 5.0 should it be enough to install only the related Notes?
    Thanks for your reply.

    I know in 4.6C using a feature (TRVPA) and entry (WRC) you control whether multiple trips are allowed for the same day.  If you allow multiple trips for the same day the only thing you have to look out for is the time.  They need to be at least a second or so apart.
    I'm not sure if things are still controlled by features in the newer versions.

  • On WLC 'one-to-many' means one VLAN mapped to multiple SSIDs possible?

    Does the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Architecture includes this feature (configuration possibility)?

    Thanks all for the provided infos. We have now the same requirements for two customers -> One-to-Many (One VLAN mapped to multiple SSIDs).
    Can anybody who has realised such a set up provide some more details how to proceed?
    The link from David describes the other way around, several VLANs mapped to one SSID. By the way, we where able to implement this, but it is only supported in centralized mode, local mode (Flex Connect it doesn't work).
    For any advise how to proceed for "One VLAN mapped to multiple SSIDs" would be very appreciated.
    Thanks Erich

  • Multiple subnets possible?

    All,
    I'm using my access point as a dhcp server in a test environment. Is it possible to have multiple subnets configured like a router-on-a-stick configuration?
    Thanks!
    John

    The AP can only support one DHCP scope, and only on the Native VLAN (i.e., untagged).
    There's only so much processor. Dumping a bunch of services on the AP is generally a bad idea. Ultimately it'll affect your performance & user counts.
    Good Luck

  • Multiple UME possible?

    Dear all.
    We have Netweaver 7 with installed Netweaver Portal.
    The UME is configured to use LDAP read only.
    We would need a second UME.
    So here my questions on which I did not found answers in SAPs help:
    1) Is it possible to have a second UME on one Java instance? ... I assume not.
    2) Is it possible to configure different data sources per server?
    3) Is it possible to have a second UME when installing a second Java instance?
    Thanks and regards
    Stefan

    Hello there,
    ) Is it possible to have a second UME on one Java instance?
    >> This is possible with virtual directory server(VDS). UME points to VDS and VDS points to other DS.
    2) Is it possible to configure different data sources per server?
    >> per cental instance only one datasource.
    3) Is it possible to have a second UME when installing a second Java instance?
    >> I dont think its not requred in case if you use VDS it can point to multiple datasource
