Seeking iTunes Mac plugin - custom crossfade by song

I would like to be able to set up playlists in iTunes (for Mac) with custom crossfades for each song transition, including some "cold" starts or endings. They will be, in effect, pre-mixed DJ sets.
I have searched for a plugin that will enable me to do this but not yet found one. Does anyone know of such a thing?

The last time I did a clean install of Windows on my PC, I backed up the entire iTunes folder on a separate HD partition. After reinstalling iTunes, I copied the iTunes folder back to the C drive and all of the many EQ presets I had created were restored, along with the music. That was in late 2011. I came to the conclusion that this was how you back up the custom EQ settings.
I guess I made a mistake by assuming it would work again this time. Did I? I repeated the process today when I reinstalled Windows, and all the presets I had created did not get restored and now seem to be gone... Is there any way to recover them?
I spent a lot of time tweaking the different frequencies to get them just right and hope to not have to repeat that process.
All of the settings were created using the custom presets, and not on individual MP3 tracks themselves.
(iTunes version just installed: 11.0.2.26)

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

How do I update itunes on my old Mac so I can get songs onto my new iphone?

My Mac (G4 OSX) is too old to update to the appropriate itunes so that I can drag songs from my itunes to my iphone4. Is there a fix or trick for that, anyone? Thank you, thank you in advance. :-) And would I have the same problem using icloud?

no.
If I caddy up the old drive to the new machine and boot to it then de-authorise there will that work
you need to launch iTunes on the dead Mac in order to de-authorize that computer. if that is not possible, you need to wait until you reach the "5" authorizations. then you get the option to +de-authorize all+ (once a year).

ITunes on Mac won't play transferred songs purchased by same account on PC

I have recently transferred my iTunes library from a PC to a Mac (using my iPod as a hard drive). However, when I open up iTunes on my Mac, I am told that certain songs (all of the ones purchsed from the Music Store from the PC) are not authorized to be played on the Mac. I can only play songs I downloaded myself from cds. My purchased music still appears int he library, but I am not "authorized" to play it. Also, this is only the second computer I have used my iTunes on. How can I get this Mac authorized to play the songs I purchased?

Search the iTunes help files on the Apple support pages as I am sure there is lots of info about authorzing other computers.
But off the top of my head, one work around to this issue is to simply burn an audio CD on your PC with a playlist of your purchased songs or how ever many CDs you need to do it (CD-RW discs might be a good tool for this). You can then put those CDs into your Mac and import the tunes and now the "authorization" info/protection will have been stripped from them and you won't have that issue with them anymore.

I have an iPhone 5. It says I have 537 songs on it but every song shows the cloud icon. I have gone through every suggested step I've googled and deleted songs but settings still shows them. When it's plugged into my mac itunes shows it only has 42 songs.

Hi ellafromva,
From your description, it sounds like you may have iTunes Match activated; you may find the following article helpful:

I recently switched from PC to Mac and am able to find and transfer most of the larger files of music to iTunes, but there are about 750 songs that are held in sub-files that require me to dig in and transfer them one by one to iTunes.. I've tried transferring the parent folders, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know of a more efficient way of getting iTunes to dig into the subfolders and transfer the music without me having to go one by one?

There is a good general guide to switching from Windows to Mac at the following link that touches on moving music as well How to Move to a Mac - Get your stuff from your PC to your new Mac
There are also these guides:

Networking with a Windows PC
Don't forget to deauthorise your old PC if you are disposing of it so you don't use up your 5 allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

I am having a painful problem with itunes 10, everytime I go everytime I go into the itunes store to search for a song, even if I type one letter Itunes will instantly launch into search mode and doesn't stop, so because I can never get past putting in the first letter or two, I'm unable to search and download any songs. I am on the latest Imac Intel core i7 Mac OS X, can anybody help?
Thankyou.

Having this problem too: IT'S REALLY REALLY ANNOYING!!! Anyone have an idea how to sort this?

I have music on my iPhone that is not on my iTunes (mac)

I have music on my iPhone that is not on my iTunes (mac). I have unchecked all music and synced so iTunes doesn't see the music but when I go to my phone music is still there. The phone is running out of memory when I try to update apps due to this.
There appears to be about 3GB of music on my iPhone I cant remove

Purchased content from iTunes? If so, your phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases. Or, you can delete the music directly on your phone: swipe left-to-right across the song/album, hit "Delete".

Connecting Ipod once synced with a PC to my Mac and not losing my songs!?

I want to connect my Ipod (which I put all of the songs on from an Itunes on a PC) to my Mac but I am afraid that as soon as I hook it up, my current Itunes (on my new Mac) will delete all the songs!
I need to know:
a) how to get all my Ipod songs onto my Itunes library on the Mac (without them being deleted of course!) and
b) how to change the configuration either before or after that step! (From a PC to a Mac!)
Thanks : )

1) Use your backup copy of your music and put the music onto your Mac, or use home share, or dvd's, external drive, flash drive,etc to move the music from the old computer to the new one.
You can see if this allows you to do it with the ipod, but I would just use my backup.

Authorized device was erased. Downloaded iTunes. Says my iPod is already synced to a library. Where do I access that library and how do i get it back on iTunes? I tried manually move songs in disk mode. Bunch of data on ipod, how to remove?

One of my authorized devices was erased. I downloaded iTunes. Says my iPod is already synced to a library. It will allow me transfer purchased songs but not songs I had that were downloaded off of my CD's. Where do I access that library and how do i get it back on iTunes? I tried manually move songs in disk mode. Now I have a bunch of data on ipod and I don't know how to remove it. It basically copied all my itunes files from my C drive onto ipod in my efforts to move the library.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Is it possible to replace the iTunes (Mac) 10 band EQ with Apple's 31 band EQ?

Apple supplies a very nice 31 band graphic equalizer as part of its Audio Units. This is the same Audio Unit as the 10 band graphic EQ. You choose to use 10 octave bands or 31 1/3 octave bands from within the module. So I guess it should be possible to use the 31 band EQ from inside iTunes Mac. Anybody figured out how?.
Why do I need it?. My current stereo music palyback system is comprised by a MacBook Pro, a PreSonus FireBox D/A converter and a pair of Meridian M2 active speakers, which, good as they are, have an annoying, narrow 3 dB peak at 3 kHz. The nearest bands on the iTunes 10 band EQ fall exactly to each side of this peak (2 & 4 kHz), so to attenuate the 3 kHz peak I need to push down the 2 & 4 kHz bands a bit, but the resulting filter is far too broad and the outcome is never pleasing. I tried with Apple's AU's 31 Band Graphic and the Parametric EQs from within Fidelia and the result is quite good. But I don´t like Fidelia's interface and limited library management capabilities, so I prefer to use iTunes as the main music player.
I tried running the iTunes audio through AU Lab using SoundFlower, and it does work when using the Mac's Buit-in output, but when I choose the FireBox output AU Lab stops receiving any audio. Switching back the AU Lab output to built-in audio resumes the audio input to the AU Lab document. I tried all sorts of combinations with no luck. Maybe this is because the FireBox is also an audio input interface?. Anybody knows how to fix this issue?.
But all this fuss would be saved, and a lot of people around the world would have a much better life using iTunes in their Macs, if Apple allowed choosing to use the 31 band graphic EQ from within iTunes, which has the narrow 3.1 kHz band that I need to flatten out the frequency response of my speakers. Many other users mught also benefit from the finer control to correct loudspeaker or room acoustics defficiencies.
Any ideas?. Would Apple please allow users to choose the rpeferred EQ: 10 or 31 band?. Thanks in advance!

This is perfect: https://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/
Even in trial mode, it allows you to insert every AU plugins you want, configuring each application with a specific audio chain you desire.
I'm currently using it for music (Itunes or Spotify, 31 band Eq as you said), but for watching movies could be a good choice as well.
I find it particularly useful when I watch movies at night. In order not to **** off the neighbors, I put a compressor at the beginning of the audio chain to reduce the dynamics, allowing me not to have crazy volume jumps.
Best,
Luca

Macbook Pro will only allow AirPlay to play through iTunes, therefore I can't play songs through Safari

Macbook Pro will only allow AirPlay to play through iTunes, therefore I can't play songs through Safari. I have tried going on to the Sound settings and selecting AirPort Express but its just jumps back to internal speakers. Its WELL ANNOYING! Any ideas?

Macbook Pro will only allow AirPlay to play through iTunes
This is normal.
To be able to play any audio source on your MacBook Pro, you might want to take a look at an application like Airfoil. More info below:

TS1718 I can't get iTunes to simply play the next song on the list

I can't get iTunes to simply play the next song on the list. It simply stops after playing one song.

That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
Go into Song view and Ctrl-click (on Windows) or Command-click (on Mac OS) one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):
