Why does it take up 100MB/track when I change the genre?

Right so I have all my songs on my itunes library and identical on my 60gb ipod photo.
My itunes were quite disorganised so I decided to change the genres and make everything nice and neat. When I plug my ipod in to automaticlly update all track and playlists it fills up the ipod remarkabley quick, at the rate of a gig every 100 tracks or so. I updated 700 songs and it filled up my ipod by 6.5 gig!!!!
this is with songs that were already in the library, I had simply reorganised them.
Someone please help.

Adam hello,
you do not say what operating system you have on your computer but judging from what is happening it would have to be Tiger 10.4.x as it now has the ability to read music files in iTunes and make changes to any that do not conform to the latest technological advances in file formats and management each time they are accessed, until they meet the latest standards... simply playing these files will improve them ... as each time a song is played the playcount is updated and the new rules applied to the file.

  • Why does my screen come up dark when I press the camera icon?

    Why does my screen come up dark when I press the Camera icon?  I can neither take pictures nor look at the photos I have saved.

    Doulbe tab the home key to see the task bar.  Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then delete them by touching the minus sign.   Then reboot the pad by holding the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider.
    You either have another app open that is using the camera, or you just have too much stuff in memory.  The reset process should clear it up.

    It's not like playing a tape. It has to convert it from whatever format you currently have into a codec suitable for editing (Apple Intermediate). This will take longer or shorter depending how compressed your original format is, and on the ability of your CPUs to catch up.

  • Why does my laptop turn itself off when i close the lid?

    i have a HP pavillion dv4 notebook. sometimes when i close the lid and let it go to sleep, and then come back to use it, the computer is off. i get a weird DOS-like black screen with white text when it comes back on asking me if i want to start windows as normal or something like this. has anyone encountered this? does anyone know how to fix it?

    Try resetting the iPod.  Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can also try another cable and usb port.

  • Why does MainStage silence all instrument sounds when I hit the play button?

    I want to be able to be playing a pad or keyboard sound through an instrument channel strip that doesn't get cut off when I hit the play button to playback loops and sounds I have for songs.

    Hi
    The "Play" button resets the audio engine. Better to leave that running and use some other control mapped directly to the Playback Plugins

  • Lightroom: Why does auto white balance no longer work after changing the camera calibration profile?

    I'm using NEF raw files from Nikon.
    Lets say for example I import a NEF file into Lightroom (v4) and click on 'auto' for white balance. The white balance in the image is  adjusted correctly (somewhat). However, if I then change the camera profile (in the camera calibration section) from 'adobe standard' to 'camera standard' then the white balance in the image becomes very wrong. I then have to set the white balance back to 'as shot' and correct it manually instead.
    Why would 'auto white balance' no longer work just because I change the profile from 'adobe standard' to 'camera standard'?
    Any ideas?

    Works as expected here...
    Which Lr version and what OS??

  • Why does Apple take a step back in technology with the ios6?  Very disappointed in these changes.  I upgraded my iPad but won't upgrade my phone.  I was going to purchase an i5 phone, but now I'm going to look at the new Samsung.

    Can an Apple device be moved back to ios5?  Why would Apple update only to take 2steps back in time, and productivity?

    Good riddance. No one here works for apple, so we are not hurt by you going to a samsung. I will say after having both android OS's and iOS's in my life I will always choose the more stable platform, nothing like having to reset your device everyday for 2 years.

  • Why does my iRadio Station stop working when I move the slider?

    I have chosen to create a station using the station Lindsey Stirling Radio that pops up when you type her name.  This station will play if I simpy create it and play it.  When i click on the little "i" in the circle at the top of the station I get the page that allows you to "Tune This Station".   If I move the slider from "Hits" to "Variety" or "Discovery" the station no longer plays music.  The album picture appears as a station but nothing happens when i tap it.  Anyone have an idea why this would occur?

    tried reset, then a restore and even vacuumed the mic and it still won't work while the speaker is activated
    use of earphones uses mic normally
    is there some echo cancellation circuitry that could have failed?

  • Why does an image in Preview disappear when I move the window from my laptop screen to my external monitor?

    I have an external 23" Cinema display connected to my MacBook Pro. When I open a file in Preview, moving it from either screen that it was originally on (laptop>LCD or LCD>laptop), the image disappears or "blanks". Only zooming in on the image will re-display it. Any ideas?

    Still investigating this problem.

  • Why does it take so long to download movies on the new iPad

    I just bought the New iPad and I am connected to Wi-Fi and it is taking at least one full day to download a 4GB movie from the Apple store. Is this normal? How can I make the downloading faster?

    Aha.  If you are at a hotel, you probably have a throttled connection.  They want you to buy their movie, not stream your own.......
    But the app is a great thing to have on board.  You never know when you might want to check a connection.
