Transferring CD Track Info to New

<SPAN class=postbody>Hi
<SPAN class=postbody>Is it possible to transfer the file storing CD track info from one PC to another? If so do you know what the name of the file is which stores these CD track names etc ? In other words when I put a CD into the dri've, the Creative software picks up all the info from the last time I put it in and filled out the details. I've no web access, so I can't rely on CDDB everytime. I can't seem to find the file (if it exists), and I want to transfer it over to another PC because its storing a few hundred CD's worth of data.
<SPAN class=postbody>Thanks

If it is MediaSource you are using then the files are stored in:
C:\Documents and Settings\**usename**\Application Data\Creative\Media Database
Once MediaSource is installed on your new PC copy the files over from this folder to the same location on your new PC.

  • Editing track info in new iTunes 11.0?

    I edit the info in each track, album etc, such as creating my own genres, adding years to the track title, correcting any mistakes, etc
    I have downloaded the latest version on iTunes but now cannot seem to edit the info of a track that has been purchased from the ITunes store (I can still edit tracks Ive uploaded myself from CD).
    How can I change the info of tracks?
    Thank you

    The option is still there: iTunes -> File menu -> Devices -> Transfer purchases from...
    By the way, it's unwise to post email address or, worse, your phone number here. These are public forums with only your fellow users participating, so all you'll accomplish by posting such personal data is to end up on various spam and marketing call lists.

  • Ok, so I transferred my 3S info to my 4S by restoring from an old phone backup.  But SIRI is gone and god knows what else??  Can I get my old stuff into the new phone and keep the 4S new functionality?

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • Loosing track info when transferring music

    I've suddenly started loosing track info when transferring music.
    I can take a cd, copy it to My Collection (M4A, Mobile Optimised) and all the info is displayed ok. When I transfer it to my phone (N70) the track data is lost and all music is dumped into the Unknown Artist folder, yet it still shows ok in the phone folder on Music Manager on the PC. Bizarrely, previous tracks that have the correct Artist/Album etc on the phone do not show correctly in the phone folder in Music Manager.
    Any clues as to what's going on? I've used Nokia Manager many times before without this problem.

  • I need to change the input level and I can not open the track info pane in the new garageband. Can you help me?

    I have tried the help menu. It only shows how to open the track info pane in the old garageband. It shows the info button, which is not in garageband anymore. I need to open the track info pane to change the input level. If there is another way to do this please tell me.

    Open the "Smart Controls" for your track, and then press the Info button .
    The "record level" slider is at the top of the Info panel below the track heads.

  • Getting data transfered from old HD to new ones, leaving 2 slots filled . .

    Hello,
    *(Below is a thread I started in another forum, but, didn't get my final questions answered (see at bottom of this post in BOLD), and am hoping for further help and suggestions. I know there is a lot to read here, but, I think this information will help other novices, such as myself. Thanks!)*
    I have 2 new HDs (each 1T) uninstalled, and I have my old HD (160 gigs) currently residing in one of the two slots in my G5. Any ideas on the best way/process to get the data transfered from the old HD to the new ones, leaving my two slots filled with the 2 new drives AND my data from the old HD transfered and intact, with a RAID0 setup?
    OR, are there any other suggestions on a good setup with the 2 new HDs??
    I'm open to suggestions.
    I always back-up on external HDs, so, is their a need for me to worry about setting up a RAID0??
    I'm doing video processing for DVD release.
    Should I just max out the 2x1T gig HDs and not worry about a HD failure??
    All Suggestions welcomed!!
    Thanks, Jack
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    You are limited with only 2 drive slots. In this scenario what usually works best is a small fast drive (eg Velocirapter or SSD) for OSX/Applications and a large drive for video files. It is not advisable to have the operating system running from a striped array.
    Since you already have the drives, here is what you can do.
    Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
    Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
    Set the startup disk as the new partition.
    Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
    Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
    *Hey Cutterman,*
    Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good set-up. I'll have to research the process of doing what you've advised, but, should work out ok:
    A. Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions:
    1. Partitions are done under Disc Utilities correct? Never done it before; will take a look.
    B. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
    2. GPT is also done under Disc Utilities, correct? Here I start to get a bit confused, as I've formatted Extended Journal, SO, the partition with the OSX & Applications is formatted GPT, and the rest of the HD is formatted as Extended Journal?
    C. Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
    3. So, I partition the first new HD and use Carbon Copy Cloner (also under Disc Utilities) to copy the OSX & Applications from my original HD to the first new HD, correct?
    D. Set the startup disk as the new partition.
    4. This will be an option when I setup the partition???
    E. Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
    F. Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
    5. QUESTION: So, you recommend not striping the HDs: If I do a RAID 1, which sets up a mirror of the HDs, and since the first new HD is partitioned with the OSX & Applications, AND is set up as the Startup Disk, then the second new HD will also mirror that?? Another QUESTION: Even if the second new HD does not mirror the OSX & Applications, the second HD will only mirror the space/partition not utilized by the OSX & Applications partition, correct?
    Thanks for your help!!
    Jack
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    OK I will try to answer your questions. To begin, if you want to mirror the 2 drives then you will need to boot from the SL install DVD or an external (USB/firewire) drive to set it up. IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.
    1) Yes partitions are created in Disk Utility
    2) Yes, you choose a volume Scheme (ie number of partitions) and size them by dragging the separator bar. Then select the planned boot partition and click Options..., then choose GPT. I think it is usually the default but check and make sure. Extended journaled is the usual format.
    3) You need to download Carbon Copy. It is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable. Consider making a donation as it is a very useful and frequently updated utility. It is fairly intuitive to use. You can also use the restore feature in Disk Utility but I have had more experience with Carbon Copy.
    4) Once the copy process is finished the new boot partition will show up under the startup disk selections (this tool is in System Preferences).
    *FROM 666Sheep:*
    If may i correct one thing: OP, don't choose GPT (GUID Partition Table). You got PPC Mac (G5), so valid partition type for you is Apple Partition Map (APM).
    GPT is for Intel Macs and you will not able to boot from this kind of partition.
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    Thanks for the correction- my bad. No familiarity with non-Intel Macs.

    *Hi All,*
    *Since this process will come to a head on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I hope to be successful in transferring Old HD data to new HD/s.*
    *A: I'm still a little foggy here, as I thought I'd set up the 2 new T-gig HDs so that if one of them failed, I'd still have the data backed up on the other HD; more ideas concerning this would be reassuring:*
    *WHAT DOES "IMO" mean?*
    *(IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.)*
    *As I understand the points made: After I partition the first new HD, and Carbon Copy data from old HD, I then install second new HD, and this will just act as an overflow from the first partitioned HD, correct? Because, if set up a Raid1/Mirror, the OSX partitioned portion of the first new HD will not copy to the second new HD, and that space on the second new HD will be wasted, correct?*
    *Also: I have to set up RAID1 (if I do not set up RAID0), correct?*
    *RAID 1*
    *From WIKI: RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, making a form of 1:1 ratio real time mirroring. The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array. A RAID 1 array requires a minimum of two drives.*
    *Carbon Copy is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable.*
    *1. Is my old HD partitioned? Is that done automatically by MAC prior to PC purchase?*
    *2. Do I Carbon Copy the whole old HD or just parts? (eg. OSX, Photo Shop, After Effects, Various Files)*
    *3. I read that it is necessary to DEACTIVATE Photo Shop (I have CS3) prior to doing Carbon Copy. Is that correct? If so, does this also apply to other Adobe applications? Such as After Affects, Illustrator??*
    *Thanks to all for the help!!*

    Confusing Information:
    A1: You also want to make sure the drive you are backing up to is formatted Mac HFS Extended (HFS+) if using Mac OS 8.1 or above.
    A2: On PowerPC Macs, your clone should be partitioned as Apple Partition Map.
    *Q? I thought the new HD (1T) should be formatted in Extended Journaled?*
    B: Also disable Spotlight (in 10.4 only) on your destination drive using Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy to add the destination drive to the pane.
    *Q? I'm using 10.4.11, so, I should follow these instructions?*
    C: If possible, boot into safe mode to perform the backup (holding the SHIFT key at startup). In addition, you can clone while logged into another administrative user that you don't use at all to avoid further complications of changes which may be happening to your regular user (though don't use Fast User Switching to get into that other user, since that other user is still active when fast user switching is used). Otherwise you are going to be running a backup on a live system which could have changes happening while you are attempting to backup. These may yield an imperfect clone, with uncertain success at recovery. It may be possible that your clone will have its own hardware issues, so make at least two copies.

  • How to sync the album and track info that I entered into a CD using iTunes with the actual disc?

    Hello,
    I recently recorded some cover songs, and I imported them into iTunes. So, after entering the track info (track names and album art) into each track using "Get Info", I burned them to a CD. I was completely shocked that the track info and album artwork did not get inputted onto the CD. So, I entered the track info, but could not add the album artwork.
    How to add the album artwork is not as important a question. But it's one of my 2.75 questions.
    My other issue is that the info that I put on the CD using iTunes is only visible within iTunes. Therefore, I cannot get the track names elsewhere.
    My 2.5 questions are:
    1) How do I get the track and album info to display in Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player (and the touchscreen CD Player in the car)?
    2) How do I add digital album artwork to the CD (so that it shows on the touchscreen CD Player in the car - if iPods have the artwork and it shows on the car's screen, a CD should be able to show the artwork on the car's screen, when talking about limitations of the car)
    2.5) How do I make that artwork display across everywhere I plug that disc into?
    2.75) How do I ensure that when others import my CD, my artwork, track names, and album name also import from the CD?
    I have already burnt the CD, so I would prefer a way to tweak the properties of the already burnt CD rather than burning a whole new disc.
    Thank you!
    -Royce

    1) Metadata visibility in Windows Explorer and/or Windows Media Player depends on OS version and file type. The mp3 format has the widest support. As for the touchscreen CD Player in your car who can say? If it can play data discs the results will be better than with audio CD. If it can display CD text then this option should be selected when creating an audio CD.
    2) Artwork cannot be attached to the tracks on an audio CD. If your car system supports it all then it will be with data discs. Check the specifications of the system for the media types it can support on a data disc.
    2.5) Simply ensure the artwork is embedded in the tag.
    I have two scripts that can help with this, CreateFolderArt and EmbedFolderArt.
    The scripts have a slightly different purpose.
    CreateFolderArt ensures that every album folder ends up with a Folder.jpg image which is the art that iTunes already knows about. Side effects are that if artwork has been updated in iTunes the folder art should be updated also, and if any track from the album doesn't have embedded artwork it gets embedded.
    EmbedFolderArt was actually written for someone who already had various artwork images stored in the folders and wanted them added to their tracks, but not if iTunes had already downloaded a better quality image.
    2.75) Again, use a data disc format. Note that you should not be giving away copies of copyrighted material.
    Audio CDs are finalized, you cannot change any properties of them unless they are on rewritable media in which case you can erase the whole disc and start over.

  • How can I burn music from my iTunes library to CD, while still keeping the track info intact?

    I made several CDs for a friend, but when my friend imported the disc into iTunes none of the track names showed up (it just said "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.) This is annoying because it was 8 CDs worth of music (over 150 songs!)
    Is there a software or any tool I can use that will allow me to burn music for friends, while still keeping the track info intact?

  • Why doesn't my iTunes Library list any  track info.  for the CDs I burn?

    I've bought a new PC and after setting up iTunes i began to copy my CD library back into my new iTunes library on my new computer.
    But when I copy a CD now the only album information that copies is "track 1" "track 2" "track 3" etc. No song titles, no artist names, no album names. No album covers. All of this information was automatically copied from the same CDs on my old computer with a slightly older version of iTunes.
    What's wrong? How can I fix this?

    Are you reimporting the CDs themselves or are you copying over the files from the old computer? I assume the latter.
    If you are copying over the old files from the old computer, what format where they imported as? My guess is that you used AIFF or WAV files? If so, that is the problem. WAV and AIFF files can not store info like artist, track title, etc. like you can with MP3 and AAC files. Instead the iTunes database file (the .itl file on a Windows machine) keeps track of that stuff. If you move the WAV or AIFF files, that information is lost/disconnected.
    Try this and see if it works. Pick all the tracks from an album and then use the Get Track Info command. Since they were originally imported by iTunes, it may work and fetch the proper information.

  • Genius is evil - madly changing track info in the background

    I think I've figured out why iTunes, starting in version 8, has been behaving strangely. It's Genius.
    I started out noticing that when double-clicked a song in the list view to play that it would jump to the end of that album's list. This drove me nuts. If I double-clicked each song, it would do this for each and then i could play the album how I wanted. I thought maybe it was tinkering with the track number info but couldn't find anything different.
    Then I started playing songs that I didn't have album, album artist, or composer information for and saw that once I played it, iTunes immediately updated to show me this information filled in. Now I was mad, b/c in a lot of instances the album information was some screwy greatest hits or tribute album. It finally dawned on me when I played a song and saw a foreign language soundtrack show up in the album field. Genius was filling in my missing information with information from how other users have classified that track. Yikes!
    So I've disabled Genius, but the damage is done as soon as Genius does that analysis of your library.
    Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm going to wipe my library and reimport everything, hoping that iTunes hasn't written the changes to the tag but only in the library. I wish Genius behaved more intelligently...
    Can someone confirm that Genius is changing/adding track info where it perceives mine is missing or incorrect?

    I had the same problem! I realized it today and googled my problem. I guess Zune is just really dumb at figuring out song information. I noticed it today when I had 42 new Rihanna tracks in my library. Apparently Zune took several songs that had nothing from Track 1 (etc), Unknown Artist and Album as its song information and changed it to some random album by Rihanna and did the tags completely excluding the Tracks. I have NO idea how it came to that conclusion as the songs were actually Soca music from Trinidad! FAR from Rihanna!!
    Other than that, sadly, I like Zune software better than iTunes on my Vista machine. The visualizer is the part that gets me. It's great for just playing music and I have something better to look at than just some seizer causing fullscreen lines. I have dual monitors and the full screen visualizer acts as if its a background so its sexii

  • How do I set the View Options in the Track Info window?

    Hi -
    Novice question here...(GB'11)
    I am trying to save an Instrument after I made some changes to the Effects.
    When I click "Save Instrument..." I get an alert
    "The file will be hidden.  You have chosen not to show your own settings.  If you save the file now it won't show in the browser unless you change your view options in the Track Info window."
    I didn't know I had chosen not to show my own settings.
    I am looking at the Track Info window (both the Browse tab and the Edit tab) and I cannot see where I can change "view options".
    Am I looking in the wrong place?  I really do want my new saved changes to be on that list.
    TIA you experienced input.

    The answer is obviouse when you find it the pulldown menu, it is in the middle of the info panel just below the tabs, and may be showing 'Garageband', press this and you can see a number of options including 'Show all'

  • Transferring CD tracks from computer to ZE

    While transferring cd tracks from my computer to my ZEN V player, I changed my mind and cancelled the RIPPING CD TRACKS.
    I also disconnected my player from the computer and now have the docked image on my screen and cannot remove it.
    Can anyone help me?

    Yes, I gave many of the CDs away - if I don't like most of the songs on the CD, I put the ones I like in iTunes and don't take up storage space keeping the entire CD. I assumed since I bought them and put them in iTunes, that it would let me put them on my new iPod, or burn a CD or whatever. Maybe I'm not doing the sync correctly. I plug my new iPod in, and when I try to select the songs and drag them to my new iPod, it tells me it can't find the original. For future reference, will iTunes ALWAYS not let me copy songs that I don't have the original CD to?

  • HELP!! Volume slider dimmed in track info--using Shure 8900W mic + iMic

    After much back and forth at the Apple Retail store, I was talked into buying a Shure 8900W microphone plus a Griffin iMic for recording vocals in GB3. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Tiger (10.4.7).
    I've done all the right stuff--in both system preferences and GB preferences the iMic is recognized and selected. I know GB recognizes and hears the mic because I see the feedback in the track, but the sound isn't coming out.
    I've noticed that the volume slider in track info is dimmed, and I can't seem to do anything to change that. Is that the problem? Can I do anything short of buying a whole new mic?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Is the monitor (in the Track Info) switched on or off? Have you checked what driver is being used for audio output (in the GB prefs)? If you can confirm that sound is being picked up/recorded by the mic (either by seeing the green/orange/red level monitor respond to input, or by seeing recorded regions with audio waveforms displayed), then it should be some relatively simple setting somewhere that's keeping you from hearing stuff.
    Sound is definitely being picked up/recorded by the mic. I do see the monitor responding to input, and the waveforms are registering sound when I use the mic. I just can't find the relatively simple setting that is keeping me from hearing stuff.
    Interestingly, after I posted this help message, I connected my mic and iMic to my PowerBook and was able to easily record and playback in GB. Does this issue have something to do with the Intel transition?
    Thanks for all your feedback.
