What's the best way to maintain 2 libraries one lossless the other MP3?

I'd like to have 2 music libraries one for home (lossless) and one for my iPhone (MP3). Not sure what's the best way to achieve this and maintain.

To create or access a second (or more) library on a Mac, hold down the "Option" key (labelled ⌥ and/or alt) when launching iTunes: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one.

  • What is the best way to connect my ipad to the high-speed Internet connection in a hotel room

    what is the best way to connect my ipad to the high speed inernet connection in a hotel room

    every connection is a bit different. Generally, connect to the wifi, then you may need to open Safari, and may even need to try to get to one of your bookmarked pages to trigger the 'agree to our terms' page to come up.
    As to it kicking you off every so often, there are sometimes glitches with the wifi on iPads, you can also be subject to any programming the hotel has. Like I've noticed various places that only allow you to log on for a period of time before having to relogin.
    most hotels have 1-800 numbers, so you can always try calling that to see if their tech support has any tips for the frequent disconnection issue.

    what is the best way to connect my guitar to the usb port on my
    I-Mac

    As has been said really, the less you pay the less quality, and flexibility you'll have on your sound.
    For example, you could run on a 'Rocksmith Real Tone Cable' if you just wanted a cheap way of getting your guitar into the computer for some fun.  Probably cost you $30 (I live in UK so can't be sure).  If you're starting out then this could be considered the best option for dipping your toe in the water without spending too much.
    You won't get a really nasty sound out of that if you can process it yourself in Logic afterwards to clean up, but it won't be great either.  I imagine it could get quite noisy so you'd need to get heavily gating your guitar sound, if you're playing something clean that's not ideal.
    Longterm, you're far better getting a decent audio interface, as you need something to play sound back through, if you have different input sources you usually have to create an aggregrate device on osx to use multple sources at once esp if you're using the built in audio chip on your mac to listen. 
    All this can add latency and possibly sync issues (i.e. drum tracks not in time with audio etc.), although generally it's not too bad, but it's something worth knowing if you want to do things on the cheap without buying a dedicated interface.
    What kind of money did you want to spend? Are you thinking super duper cheap, and then see how it goes and maybe spend more in future if you enjoy it?  Personally i would say £100-150 would get your something good to start with, like that Presonus audiobox, there's a lot of options like that available.
    My local music shop always push the alesis io2 on new users, gotta say i'm not that overly impressed with it.  Line 6 stuff will be good however, but limiting.  Although i beleive you get their software for free with it?

  • What is the best way to manage multiple ipods using the same itunes?

    Hi Everyone
    i am trying to manage three different ipods through the one Itunes, all with very different tastes, not sure if I am doing it the best or easiest way so does anybody have a simple solution on what you're supposed to do, to keep it all simple!
    Cheers

    If you have created a new Windows user account you need to log out and then log back in with your original user name. By default each Windows profile will have an independent iTunes library.
    If instead you managed to create a new library within the same profile. click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. Click Choose and navigte back to your original which should be at <User's Music>\iTunes.
    Your question as posed was:
    What is the best way to manage multiple iPods using the same iTunes {library}?
    in which case Selected Playlists is probably the best approach. Simply create a playlist for each device, Alice's iPod, Bob's iPhone etc. and sync the device with the appropriate list.

  • What is the best way to make video and audio the same lengths for posting on Web?

    YouTube recommends doing this to avoid sync problems. Maybe it will also make my videos run more smoothly. I'm talking here about random pauses I see in my movies on YouTube, not the uniform stuttering problem which I pretty much solved by redoing the movie at 30 fps instead of 24 fps. (Original is 18 fps Super 8 movie film.)
    Anyway, there is no sound during my titles. The soundtrack starts about 17 seconds in, and ends when the ending titles begin. So what's the best way to add silent audio? The best I can figure is to take some existing sound, put it in where the titles are, and turn the volume down to zero. Seems real workaround-ish, so to speak, to me. It seems to work. I even cranked it up on headphones to make sure there was no residual noice. But I'm curious if there's a better way? No biggie if not.
    Thanks.         

    I should have included the following:
    1.) Why can't I make a silent project in GarageBand? I have to instead find a project with a long enough song, make an "iLife preview" of it (see (2) below), copy it from the iMovie Music and Sound Effects browser to the end of the movie, and then open the audio panel and turn the volume to zero. And all this so that video websites don't get confused by a soundtrack that starts in mid-movie.
    2.) Why do I have to "render" them by the following process: Double-click a song in the iMovie Music and Sound Effects browser. You get a dialog box saying "The project "The Great Race" cannot be used because it was not prepared with an iLife preview. Would you like to open "The Great Race" in GB so you can save it with an iLife preview?" What I don't understand is why this new thing was introduced and why I have to do it via iMovie.

  • I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes.  Either works well.  If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
    The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching. 
    Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing

    Depending on how long the site has been active, it may be
    already
    spidered by search engines and cached. However, for the most
    part, I
    usually use my FTP program OR even Dreamweaver itself (now

    to delete files on the server just as I do locally. Hit the

  • What is the best way to maintain state in Java web apps?

    Hi,
    been looking at best way to maintain state between requests in JSP.
    Ive been trying to use URL rewriting but been getting problems. I understand I can also achieve this using cookies.
    Are there any other better ways of doing this.
    I don�t know if the problem is with JBuilder4 or something in the Tomcat server?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks.

    I think if you use JavaBeans that implements Serializable , it might maintain state (but not sure of this).
    HttpSession is one option but , sessions have limitations - they timeout, they don't work when the page is cached by the browser and they don't work if Cookies are disabled in the browser.
    Database is always an option, and there are two types of DBs , in-memory like HSQLDB etc , or the regular RDBMS like MySQL , Oracle etc.
    If you only want to maintain state between HttpRequests, then use the request object which is implicit in JSPs.
    I think your URL Encoding is not working most likely because you have disabled Cookies in your browser and that's why you see jsessionid.
    If you enable Cookies in your browser then, the jsessionid should not appear.
    There are other options I'm sure, but I'm only aware of the above at this time.... may be someone else might know more.

  • What's the best way to erase content but not the applications?

    I'm giving away my iMac to my niece. I want to erase all my  content files, libraries ,etc., but not the applications. What's the best way to do this, and to do it securely?

    If you have Downloaded and Upgraded to Lion See...
    Here is an excerpt of the SLA; the Lion license (purchased from MAS) is NOT transferable. The SLA is quite clear:
    B. If you obtained your license to the Apple Software from the Mac App Store or on Apple-branded physical media, it is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to athird party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware beforedoing so, and you may restore your system to the version of the Apple operating systemsoftware that originally came with your Apple hardware (the “Original Apple OS”) andpermanently transfer the Original Apple OS together with your Apple hardware, provided that:(i) the transfer must include all of the Original Apple OS, including all its component parts,printed materials and its license; (ii) you do not retain any copies of the Original Apple OS, fullor partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (iii) the partyreceiving the Original Apple OS reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of theOriginal Apple OS license.
    Now Proceed...
    Boot from the original OS installer disk and do an Erase & Install.
    When the Mac reboots into Mac Setup Assistant Quit and shut it down.
    When the New Owner Boots it up it's a brand new Mac... just like when you got it.
    ( The Original Install Disc(s) should also be included with the sale )
