Itunes - Couple of questions

SkScotchegg · 29 Nov 2011 at 19:43

Hi there, just wondering if you guys know what these options mean in itunes:

Enable Sound Check
Convert Higher bitrate songs to 128kbps
Manually Manage Music
Disk Usage

Should I tick any of these options or just ignore them?

Thanks in advance.

Read very slowly, think about what you may think these options do. Tell us what you 'think' they do. S-L-O-W-L-Y

Seriously what kind of thing is that to say? pfff...

I thought this would be a quick post but its turning into a waste of time with comments like that.

Enable Sound Check - (All I can think is it either checks to see if the sound is loud enough or that each song is the same volume or that the volume for each song is working?)
Convert Higher bit rate songs to 128kbps - (I dont know what converting to high bit rate will do?)
Manually Manage Music - (Well this is currently unticked and I manually tick which playlist I want to add and click sync right now, so not sure what difference ticking this will do because I already manually add songs now?)
Disk Usage - (again not sure what disk usage could me because the music I am transferring is already on my hard drive disk and I already transfer the songs from the hard drive to the mp3, instead of from a cloud/website so to speak)

So enable sound check will make it so that if one song is louder then the other they will all be made to be the same volume level?

And why when I tick some of these options does it say I need to safely eject my ipod before disconnecting it? How can you eject an ipod, it just unplugs from the USB wire?

And does mass storage mean you dont have to use itunes and you can just drag drop songs and folders into the mp3 player like other mp3 players?

see SkScotchegg that wasn't so hard was it?

Am not being funny but, well actually maybe I am, I'm in a bad mood today but I just think you guys talk weird, if you don't want to help people don't post, you turned a simple post into tedious/pedantic ramblings.

I help people all the time and I know how to use Google search as I use that all the time also but I just thought I'd post on here today to get some quick knowledge from you guys on what these 4 features do and if I should use them, I found that a valid reason to post.

Some people seem to think saying the words "use google" makes them seem more intelligent lol.
