My music is already organized in folders. Need help!

I have a ton of music already organized into complete albums in separate folders on my computer (as well as some large folders like "VH1's top 100 One Hit Wonders"). When I import it into iTunes it uses id3 tags to try to sort it and I wind up with a pile of unusable junk because the songs could be from all over the place and the tags could say they were from a number of different albums. This is particularly crappy when I have a song that's on a DJ mixed album with various artists. For the life of me I can't play that complete album in iTunes. Is there a way to automatically use my folder names as names of playlists and the contents of the folders for those playlists themselves? I think this may be a workaround or I'd love to have other suggestions. I presently use an iRiver iHP-140 and simply brows the folder names for albums. This is an infinitely simple way of doing it and I would very much like to continue it since I want to upgrade to the 60gb iPod and if I did I couldn't find my music to play it under the present circumstances. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nope.
You might be able to import an M3U file as a playlist though. Worth a try.

Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
Thank you.

Prodesigntools.com , go ahead and download the software from there and use your serial number to serialize it.

X-fi Extreme Music on vista....need help!!!!!!!

I have vista ultimate with x-fi EM installed.
I never installed latest driver successfully using file downloaded from creative website. It always give me "you have previously installed driver without rebooting" sign but when I reboot, it still keep popping up.
My audio is working fine, with some annoying stuff(explain later) installed driver using windows automated installation and browse directory to windows/temp folder (driver unpacked).
I read lots of people have same problem with me.
Is there any cure for this problem?
With windows automated installation, I dont have any advanced processing option from x-fi card.
I also noticed that there is some kind of waving sound on my music (sound like you turn up and down volume really fast with few second interval)
Do anyone experience problem like me? I play my music with winamp and WMP.
Please help....Message Edited by denox on 04-23-20070:0 AM

Hi guys, just to give you update.
I finally installed xfi driver properly, thanks to ccleaner.
Just clean all your computer stuff with crap cleaner and xfi driver installed fine.
I will give you update about waving sound.

Relocating mp3s to new folders - need help updating library

I've moved my mp3's from being altogether in one folder to being in separate folders sorted by artist and then in sub-folders sorted by album.
The problem is that my iTunes library needs updating, now that the songs are in different directories. I could update each song individually and point the library link to the new file but this could take a long time with over 1000 mp3's.
So, is there a quicker, easier way of updating my library to reflect the changes in my mp3 folders?
Thanks
Paul

Nope.
You're probably going to have to dump your playlists, ratings, placuonts, etc. and start your library over. You can do that by selecting everything in the library, hitting delete, and making sure not to move them to the Recycle Bin.
Then readd all of the folders.

BlackBerry World Music Downloads Failing....Need Help

I just purchased a song to play for a kid who was asking to hear it but the download keeps failing. I have already paid for the song but I am unable to download it.
I have since tested BlackBerry World apps and they are working as usual. I've searched all over the Internet for an answer, but I'm having trouble finding any information.
Anyone have any thoughts on what I might need to do? I've tried refreshing BlackBerry World and I'm going to do another battery pull once I finish this post.

What is the name of the song that failed to download? Did you see any error?

Itunes won't play music - exclamation points by all songs - need help!!

I have been on this board several times and still can't locate the answer to allow me to play my music in Itunes. Here is my situation. If you can help, I would appreciate it.
I have had my Itunes library stored on my external hard drive. I hadn't accessed Itunes in a while and when I did, my music is no longer being recognized by the program. All I get is the exclamation point next to each song and when I click on the song I am asked to relocate the song itself. Since getting the exclamation point no matter what I do short of relocating every song individually (over 4000 songs), I decided to call "apple cares". I had no success with them as they couldn't help.
I have now unistalled/reinstalled my Itunes twice, I have redirected my preferences to my external drive and consolidated my library several times, I have tried to use my older less updated library on my regular hard drive only to have the same exclamation points appear.
I am at a loss as to what I need to do. I really don't want to lose my music - imported from cds or purchased - nor do I want to spend the rest of 2007 relocating each and every song.
If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate help. You can email me directly at [email protected]
Thanks in advance!!!
Debra

Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.

My iPhone 4 will no longer play music in my car. I need help.

For over two years, my iphone has played music when hooked up to the ipod connector in hmy car. When I plug it in, the "charging not supported..." box still pops up but no music plays. My sister's phone will play in my car, so it is not a problem with anything in my car. And when I tried to play my phone in her car, it would charge, but again, no music would play. The problem has to be with my phone, but I haven't done anything different with it. Any ideas or suggestions to fix this?

Standard steps from the manual are to restart, reset, restore. which of those have you done?

How do add a toolbar to the yahoo firefox? I have a program already downloaded. I need help adding the toolbar.

I use Roboform and after I downloaded Yahoo Firefox it no longer appeared as one of my toolbars. How do I get it back? I need it for those sites I visit once and a while and filling out forms. I'm using MS 8.1. Thanks.

If Firefox was able to load and activate the Roboform extension, then you should be able to turn on the toolbar using one of these methods:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar, then click on Roboform
* right-click the "+" button on the tab bar, then click on Roboform
* "3-bar" menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars > Roboform
* (classic menu bar) View menu > Toolbars > Roboform
If Roboform does not appear on the available toolbar list, could you check to confirm that it is enabled on the Add-ons page? Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. In the list on the right, the disabled extensions are at the bottom of the list.

OS creating multiple user/library folders - need help

My computer has decided on it's own to revert back to it's original default settings causing me to lose all the changes that I have made, as well as forcing me to redo the set-up procedures for Mail, Safari and other browsers and applications. This is happening every day after I log off. In looking around for answers I found that Home/User is creating multiple libraries as I keep resetting the computer. I now have 8 library folders all with different contents. I'm sure this is why the computer is reverting to default. Do I delete the extra folders? How do I know which is the one to keep? The one with the most items? I was poking around the apps and other sections, but I don't remember moving or changing anything. I will have to start over again tomorrow and I will then have 9 folders. I would really appreciate someone to help me out of this dilemma.
iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.9) I have DSL and had a phone line repair shortly before the problem started

It's the same with me. Just discovered, I have 15 additional users created. I'm most eager to learn why this is happening because I have not been able to 'auto login' using my own account.

Already have wireless network, need help for set up of time capsule for wired backup only.

Hello all -
I have a time capsule that plugs into wall and used a wireless network to back up computer. It would always mess up internet afterwards so I would unplug the time capsule and reset internet until the next back up. my time capsule now will not link into my computer. It just flashes amber. Spoke with apple and was told to come on here and ask for help for setting up time capsule for a wired backup only and to mention that I have a wireless network.
Hope any of this makes sense.
Thank You!!

Spoke with apple and was told to come on here and ask for help
Really? The paid professionals at Apple told you to post on a forum where users.....just like you....are trying to answer questions? We'll try to help, though.
For starters, please tell us the make and model of the modem/router that you have now that is providing your wireless network.

Sorry if question is already asked, but I need help.
