Purchasing a large amount of music, how?

Hello, i am building up a music-profile for some Bars and nightclubs, and i need something between 1000 - 1500 songs. Anyone have experience of how to purchase so many songs the simple way. I could get list of songs and maybe mail that one to itunes, then pay and get all the songs at the same time. It will take me days and weeks to download manually, so i am open for ideas!!
thx
Kristian

Did you tried to enable the shopping cart (Preferences/Store/Buy with Shopping cart)?
Maybe that could work.
But based on the iTunes EULA, the music is sold only for personal non-commercial use. You could get in a pickle with Apple and/or the IFPI.

If I have a large amount of music/movie content in the cloud, how do I get it onto my iPad/iPhone so I can hear/see it when I dont have access to WiFi?

If you go into the Purchased tab in the iTunes store apps on your iPad and iPhone then you might be able to redownload them from there - they should then be accessible in the Music / Videos app without you needing to be be online.

Is there a way to put a large amount of music on your iPod without having to keep all the files in iTunes on your computer as well? I want to put my entire music collection (including cds) on my iPod but don't want to take up the space on my computer.

is there a way to put a large amount of music on the ipod without having to keep all the files on itunes as well? I want to use my ipod as an externa drive and put all of my music on it without taking up the space on my computer. I also don't want to lose all my files everytime I plug ipod into my computer. Is this possible? Is there a way to avoid using itunes and only use the ipod as an external drive?

You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
You still need a backup of that Library.
Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

So I had a large amount of music on my Iphone 4S, and so i bought a storage plan with 10 more GB's of storage. I went to sync the rest of my music, assuming it would now let me have it on my IPhone, but it said I still didn't have enough storage. Help?

You bought icloud storage.
This has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone. You cannot increase the storage capacity of your iphone at all.

Itunes upgrade, large amount of music canno be located

After itunes upgrade, a large amount of my collection is 'The Song "..." could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?'
If before I play the song I 'Get Info' and then look the path (alt-print screen) and then attempt to play the song (I'll get the !) and then locate it, it will play. If I then compare the path to the print screen path, they are identical.
Thanks for your time.

1. find a song that is going to be missing, not hard since its a lot more than 50% of my library.
2. select the song (dont play it) and 'get info' from its properties.
3. since i cannot see the 'get info' and interact with itunes, i will make a copy of the window for future viewing with print screen.
4. close 'get info' and try and play the song. its status will now have the all too familiar '!' and be limited now in what results it will allow me see.
5. locate the song's file like itunes suggests.
6. once located, select it in the play list and "get info".
7. compare with the contents of the copy buffer.
8. they are the same exact path names.
These are not full albums or artists, my collection has always been maintained by itunes. So I have large portions of albums 'missing'. I don't use other programs to tag or album art my collection. None of my podcast tracks seem to have been impacted.

HT1473 Need to import a large amount of music into an established Itunes library

I have music stored on another drive that I want to import into Itunes. Is there any way to do this without having to go song by song? It is over 8 gigs of songs

Yes. See thesupport article below. If you want to copy the contents from the EHD to your current library, make sure Preferences > Advanced > Copy files to Media folder when Adding to Library is checked beforehand.

Burning CDs that store large amounts of music

Hi, could someone help me?
I know someone who has Windows XP and has a bunch of CDs that he plays in his car, and these CDs have a lot of songs on them, around 50-100 tracks.
Is it possible for me to burn a CD with iTunes that plays 50-100 songs? Is it something to do with the formats? Please help. Thanks.

Amy,
Converting your current tracks will give you duplicates as you say. However you can always delete these quite easily by adding the Kind column to your Library view then sorting your tracks to segregate MP3 and AAC. You can burn your MP3 CD and delete the tracks afterwards. To add Kind, right click at the top of any Library column and choose Kind from the list. Use a smart playlist to gather up the MP3s by giving it the rule "Kind" is "MPEG audio file".

HT1926 itunes cannot locate original file for large amount of music in library

When I open itunes it cannot find some of the tunes I have uploaded onto the library from CD's etc.

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

HT4061 I have just recently bought an iphone 4s and the techs could transfer my contacts from my samsung galaxy mini but not my photos or my music.How do I do this?

I have just recently bought an iphone 4s and the tchs in the shop transferred all my contacts from my Samsung galaxy mini to my iphone for me bought they could not transfer my photos or my small amount of music.How do I do this?
Given that I am a complete novice,some straight forward and simple advice would be helpful folks.

Get the Samsung Kies application to transfer it onto your computer, and then use iTunes to add it to your iPhone.

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

Firefox is using large amounts of CPU time and disk access, and I need to know how to shut down most of this so I can actually use the browser.

Firefox is a very busy piece of software. It's using large amounts of CPU time and disk access. It puts my usage at low priority, so I have to wait for some time to be able to use my pointer or keyboard. I don't know what it uses all that CPU and disk access time for, but it's of no use to me. It often takes off with massive use of resources when I'm not doing anything, and I may not have use of my pointer for several minutes. How can I shut down most of this so I can use the browser to get my work done. I just want to use the web site access part of the software, and drop all the extra. I don't want Firefox to be able to recover after a crash. I just want to browse with a minimum of interference from Firefox. I would think that this is the most commonly asked question.

Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources

Thank you for any assistance.

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Why each time I try to save my day's work,version WITH mark-ups and version w/o, does it say "you have placed a large amount of text on clipboard do you want to access this? What is clipboard and how can I just save my work in its proper file?

I don't get this clipboard thing! I have created two files, one for the MS with mark-ups, and one for the unmarred version, each living in their own spot in my "house." It seems to be merging the two versions and I have to go in and re-paste and then it always says "you have placed a large amount of text on clipboard do you want to be able to access this?" and it prompts me to say no but I am afraid I'll lose my day's work so I just tap cancel. I highlight the day's revision and select "copy" to paste into the unmarked doc. before I save on the marked up or working doc. It is when I try to close that one that the clipboard issue pops up. What can you tell be about saving doc. in two places and how to NOT get it on clipboard? Thanks! I am not super computer savvy so layperson's language much appreciated!

Are you using Microsoft word? Microsoft thinks the users are idiots. They put up a lot of pointless messages that annoy & worry users. I have seen this message from Microsoft word. It's annoying.
As BDaqua points out...
When you copy information via edit > copy, command + c, edit > cut, or command +x, you place the information on the clipboard. When you paste information, edit > paste or command + v, you copy information from the clipboard to your data file.
If you edit > cut or command + x and you do not paste the information and you quite Word, you could be loosing information. Microsoft is very worried about this. When you quite Word, Microsoft checks if there is information on the clipboard & if so, Microsoft puts out this message.
You should be saving your work more than once a day. I'd save every 5 minutes. command + s does a save.
