Does anyone know a way to link two songs together even when a playlist is shuffled? For example, let's say I have a large playlist, but I want "With a Little Help From My Friends" to always play after "Sgt. Pepper". C'mon those songs go together!

Is there a way to clear just the last played date on a few songs here and there? I have a date-based smart playlist, and sometimes I want to force a song or two back onto the playlist that I heard recently. edit: I found a script here. It worked like a charm: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/download.php?sc=newlastplayed Mithra6 fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Nov 25, 2010 |

I know I quoted a script from this site a couple of posts above: http://dougscripts.com/ Looking through these, you can do some cool stuff, particularly with tagging and library management. I'm a techie, but I hate scripting. This poo poo here is really easy. I recommend that everyone check it out.

Backup backup backup! I've never had an upgrade delete my music, but any upgrade can potentially cause problems. Plus, having done hundreds of data recoveries, I'm now acutely aware of the unpredictability of hard drives.

wolffenstein posted:iVolume iVolume works really well. It's not perfect, but close enough that I don't care. You run this, it analyzes your music. It edits the "sound check" option, so that when you have it enabled, it normalizes the volume. If you turn off sound check, your music goes back to its unnormalized volume.

Ridonkulous posted:Why is it that Smartlists can not update themselves on an Ipod/Iphone? I have a smart playlist that plays songs from another playlist that I haven't played in 45 days that updates on my iPod Classic. For it to update you have to leave the playlist and go back into it, but I don't have to sync it.

Ridonkulous posted:Then why does my smartplaylist that contains all files from another list with 0 play count never update to remove the tracks I have listened to until I sync? I don't have an iPhone, so maybe it's an iOS thing. That would be strange though.

The library is sort of like the master database. You can't hide items in it.

bonzaisushi posted:Looks like you gotta go all in as of right now. But i don't think match has officially launched at least thats the impression i have gotten so far so maybe they will drop some more knowledge on us over the next few days about how it works. It hasn't launched yet. I think it's out of beta though. I keep hearing different launch dates. I keep hearing it's going to happen this month.

HolySwissCheese posted:Does anyone know how iTunes Match is designed to work with incrementing play counts? My smart playlists rely heavily on play counts and last played date so this is important. No because they are playing from separate files. zalmoxes posted:I'm a little confused about match. The reason I bought it was so I could have it ID my songs and finally give me proper metadata for my library, but if I delete a song that is marked as "matched" and redownload it from icloud, it still doesn't have artwork or proper metadata. From what I understand metadata is untouched. I read that there is a trick for album art where you have to download the new Match file, delete the album art, and then the file, and then download it again. Something like that. Maybe it will work for metadata as well.

This is really minor, but this makes the music nerd in me rage. I know that you can join songs in iTunes if burning from a CD. However I have some music purchased in iTunes that I'd like to join. I found a free app called "Join Together" that's really easy and can join MP3s. When I do it, there's a little hiccup where the join is and it drives me batty. As an experiment, I tried burning it to a CD and ripping them while joining the two songs I want joined, and same thing, there's a little split second gap. They sound fine in iTunes itself. Any ideas?

My library is almost 16000 songs, and I have tons of playlists. I have a problem with volume leveling between various tracks. I know iTunes uses soundcheck, and as many have commented, soundcheck is less than stellar. I downloaded iVoume, and it does a much better job, but even iVolume seems to play dumb with albums that are mixed really quietly, and albums that are mixed loudly. For instance, I have a playlist for The Cure. "Lovecats" on "Staring at the Sea" is pretty quiet, but their more recent remasters are noticeably louder - though the remasters actually match the "average" volume overall throughout my library. The "Staring at the Sea" album is a problem. The only workaround I can think of is when I notice these discrepancies, is to either manually alter the album in iVolume, or iTunes' volume in "Get Info" for the album. Doing this for so many songs is a pain, because as you can imagine I can't remember every discrepancy I hear. I'd say about 70% of my library is fine, the rest not so much. Any other ideas?

iTunes on Windows works about as well as Office on Mac.

Re: iTunes in Mac vs. Windows: I'm speaking out of my rear end here, but my programmer friend said that when Apple ported iTunes, they ported the whole program, including more Apple related components, as opposed to creating a Windows version from scratch. How I understand this, is that Apple took the entire program from the Mac, and basically used a Windows shell to make it work. That is why it is so sluggish in Windows.

I noticed a little bug after updating. I added a couple of CDs to the library. Both imported normally, but neither showed up in the library. However the weird part is that they appeared in "Recently Added". After some googling, I found that if you sign out of the store and back in again (which is what I did), or turn off iCloud then on again, the music will appear as normal. This worked. Weird.
