Possible to do this with Library?

Hi all,
I encoded my cds into itunes as 192 bit rate....but as expected I am only getting about 700 songs on my 4 gb nano. So I am wondering if I can have two libraries (or how should I do it)....one leave at the higher bit rate and the other knock down to 128. Maybe I am not thinking about this right but my reasoning behind wanting to do this is that I am worried if I knock the bit rate down and find I notice the quality difference, then upsizing back to 192 would not work and I would have to re imort all my cd's which would be a pain.
Any thoughts?
Tammy

Tammy,
Transcoding your 192kbps files to 128kbps will degrade the audio more than if you had ripped them into 128kbps originally. See: Buegie, "Oh so tinny" #5, 11:53am Nov 7, 2005 CDT
I have a 4GB mini and fit ~500 songs on it using AAC/256/VBR encoding. That's still 34+ hours of music with one load. As I have over 300 hours of music, I am not carrying my total collection around with me any way. Why even bother reducing the size of your current files?

  • My client with autism needs to be able to speak/sing into a microphone and simultaneously hear his voice through a headset, preferably with reverb set on high.  Is it possible to do this with the iPad and OS7?  If so, what setup do I need?

    My client with autism needs to be able to speak/sing into a microphone and simultaneously hear his voice through a headset, preferably with reverb set on high.  Is it possible to do this with the iPad and OS7?  If so, what setup do I need?  I have a SM58 type mic and-over-the ear headphones.

    This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
    ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
    Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
    If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

  • Is it possible to do this with subtemplates ?

    Please give your valuable suggestion... Thanks in advance !
    We have a requirement in EBS, where there are 4 different Invoice Layouts (RTF Templates) for 4 operating units. We created 4 different templates and attached to the data definition (which is linked to one concurrent program). It works great.
    During runtime, user needs to pick the correct layout and get the correct results.
    BUT, we want to build a logic that a specific layout is defaulted (depending on Operating unit or say, some other XML data element). In other words, Just use/launch a specific template automatically without user choosing from the list of templates.
    So that user doesn't choose wrong template and we can restrict templates based on operating unit.
    There is no easy way I could find to accomplish this.
    I want to use the subtemplate logic, but that doesn't seem to work for this.
    In subtemplates I can only define part of the template logic like header/footer or body part.
    When I put the tags of <?template:Template_Name?> at the very beginning of the layout ,the first character of Header and <?end template?> at the very end of the report, it seems to totally ignore the Header portion.
    Actually, I want to launch a complete RTF template with headers/body/footers by itself.
    The calling (dummy) Template RTF has no formatting at all... Just calls to other templates..
    I want to use one dummy template just to call four other complete templates based on some XML data element (like operating unit).
    Can any guru tell me, if this is possible at all ??

    You can use the same logic we use in Bursting to automatically apply a different template based on some Operating Unit element in the XML message.

  • Is it possible to do this with Flash...

    I have this little problem with my blog on MySpace and I'm curious to find out if I can solve it by creating
    a Flash header/game for my blog that will solve it.
    I experience routine cycles where on certain days I will get tons of hits, usually this is just before the night I go out to the club to have fun.  People never, ever comment on my blogs, nor do they subscribe, so I have no way to know who is viewing (spying on) me so regularly and diligently.  This is far beyond annoying.  I've also, in the past, encountered real life problems due to people slandering me from taking things I say way out of context, or simply because they are drama queens who get off on screwing with peoples' lives.
    Now what I want to do is basically take the pyramid with the all-seeing eye from the back of the U.S. one dollar bill, turn it into a big, colorful and interactive work of art with the eye looking around, blinking, staring at the user, emanating, IDK, rage or focus idealized while a marquee then scrolls along the bottom of it telling people that I'm watching those who watch me, or something like that, while in the background recording their friendIDs with a date and time stamp which will then get compiled and forwarded to me on say a weekly basis.
    This will give me peace of mind in knowing who's just browsing, who's friendly and who's doing this to try and hurt me, things I can figure out on my own by checking their profiles and determining whether I am familiar with them or not, and on what terms.
    What do you think, is something like this possible with Flash or would it take Java?

    you can do that with flash.
    you can do a little more and display the user's ip address in your flash header.  and it's possible (with server-side scripting) to display the geographic location of the user based on their ip address.

  • Possible to do this with an Interface?

    ok i have this method in a class called PlayerGUI
    public void play()
              try
                   song.play();
              catch(Exception e)
                            e.getMessage();
         }and this is everything in a class called PlayControl
    public class PlayControl implements ActionListener
         private PlayerGUI gui;
         public PlayControl(PlayerGUI p)
              gui = p;
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
              gui.play();
    }so these two classes "communicate" with each other that way.
    now if I make an interface called PlayerGUIListener and put this method (first one above) in it instead of PlayerGUI
    public void stop()
              try
                   song.play();
              catch(Exception e)
                            e.getMessage();
         }and then have PlayerGUI implement it i get these errors
    java:26: interface methods cannot have body
    ^
    Aava:46: interface methods cannot have body
    ^
    java:66: interface methods cannot have body
    ^
    java:75: interface methods cannot have body
    ^
    4 errors
    now the GUIListener has to have some reference to PlayerGUI in order for the method to work......so can anyone point me in the right direction? im basically trying to take the play method out of PlayerGUI and put it in another class file

    When you create the code for the PlayerGUIListener Interface, you do not put in anything except the method declarations. Then you create a class that implements the interface and has code inside the methods. Just like the way PlayControl implement the ActionListener interfacepublic interface PlayerGUIListener {
       public abstract void play();
    public SomeClass implements PlayerGUIListener {
       //bunch of stuff
       public void play() {
          try {          
         song.play();
              } catch(Exception e) {
                          e.getMessage();
    }

  • Is it possible to achieve this with Pacman?

    I have seen different positives and negatives in each package manager and I found rPath's (Foresight) quite interesting. Is it possible to develop pacman to be able to just download the files that need to be updated when updating an app, instead of downloading the whole package all over again? Sorry to mention this if it's already possible/available/planned.

    That would actually be brilliant ... Downloading the whole OOo all over again because of a very minor update is a bit annoying

  • Possible to do this with case structure?

    Essentially I want the case structure to do: If case1 = run OR case2 = run, do this, else do case3++
    I'm using a string case structure right now, where for example, the inputs could be SWEEP_A or SWEEP_B but I want the case structure to use case SWEEPAorB. This is so I can have different names for the input string BUT run the same case (this is to avoid redundant code for what I'm doing).
    Thanks.

    For more complex logic use can use create a boolean array and convert it to a number.

  • Is it possible to use variable with interval in BEX for filter or pl funct.

    Hi,
    we have filters in which variables with interval are being used, as well as planning functions in which a variable with interval should be used.
    In the planning modeler everythings works fine. But I have problems to fill values for these type of variables. The error message "specify a value for variable xxx " is always generated. I know it is possible to do this (with VAR_LOW & VAR_HIGH instead of VAR_VALUE).
    Can someone please help?
    regards
    D

    Hello Dries,
    yes, it's possible. You have to use VAR_VALUE_LOW and VAR_VALUE_HIGH.

  • Can I do this with SDK?

    I have Premier CS 2. In project I want to check that the sequence within work area bar does contain no black fields or very short shots (microshots) before exporting video.
    Is it possible to do this with SDK?
    p.s. Sorry for my poor english.

    This is not possible with formated searches.
    With SDK, depends on if it is Matrix or Grid, on if it is a system form/your own form. But basically, loop throw the form or datasource, and do the sumatory.

    You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

    Long story short....I restored my computer to an earlier point using time machine and now all of the previous back-ups are gone. My question has to do with itunes...is it possible to restore my itunes library to the most recent backup because the restore that I did was in march and the latest backup was in may....the reason being is that there were app that i had downloaded that are in my most recent back-up, that were not in the backup I restored to. Is it possible to just restore one application ie)itunes?

  • I recently had a catastrophic hard drive failure and had to replace it.  At the time, I had a VERY extensive music library and it is now lost. This entire library was also on iTunes. Is it possible to recover that library, or do I have to download again?

    I recently had a catastrophic hard drive failure and had to replace it.  At the time, I had a VERY extensive music library and it is now lost. This entire library was also on iTunes. Is it possible to recover that library, or do I have to download again?

    If your hard drive was not backed up then you can download items purchased from the iTunes Store.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Did you subscribe to iTunes Match service?  If you did, your other music would be available too.
    Note, this restores the music files themselves, not playlists, playcount, ratings, or other things associated with the actual library file structure.
    You really should consider getting a backup drive. Hard drives failures are a certainty and it saves a lot of grief.

  • I want to put music onto my partners phone from my Mac computer. The message comes up that her phone is synced with another iTunes library (not in use anymore) and do I want to erase this iPhone and sync with this itunes library.

    There is currently no music on her iPhone and all the apps are already in the iTunes library on the mac that I want to sync it to so its not a problem, the apps won't be lost.
    My question is are photos and messages and contacts classified as iPhone contents? Because I don't want those to be wiped. So can I sync her phone to this iTunes library? I have not been able to find online whether or not photos and contacts will be lost.
    Also her phone is already backed up on this computer because it gets plugged into it all the time we have just not tried to put music onto it yet until now.
    Thanks for any help clarifying this

    How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

  • When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
    You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already.  Then you will have two computers authorized.  Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time.  If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
    Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library.  Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct.  But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.
