You don't realise how much ***** you just caused me... Well you learn from your mistakes. Everything was perfect until i copied it all over to my iPod, apparently iPod doesn't like a mix of mp3's and m4a's in the same tagged album and physical folder, made a complete and utter medd of it. So i've had to go back and try and back track all the files that are m4a (turns out about 1.4gb's worth) and covert them to mp3, then retag those, insert them back in the right folder stucture. Then i realise iTunes is totally USELSS at updating itself, nuked the library had to import them all again, now i'm just nuking the iPod and putting them all back on from the library.

How much on something going wrong and me losing everything within the next hour? :p :D


:( No happy...
 
Haha - sorry man

Speaking from experience there. Did my whole library manually a while back, about 3000 tracks too. Felt right chuffed when I was finished, then I realised that my formatting and procedure had been somewhat wrong from the outset. Ended up nuking them all and starting again. Go, go perfectionism! :o
 
No worries i'm an OCD perfectionist myself :D 400 tracks to sync still on the iPlod before i get to see the damage i hope to god everything is right now. My computer library is perfect it seems, iTunes plays nice it's all down to my iPod now...

If you're a true OCD perfectionist you should have all your tracks in the same format in a high bit rate ;):D.
 
took me a year and a day to organise my collection a few months back, mine is broken down more or less the same, Artist--> Album-->Song name.MP3

My friends thought it was a stupid thing to do because of how long it would take (80+ Gig) but i find it a lot easier now trying to find certain songs i want to listen to.

SG
 
am I missing something?

when I rip using CDeX it goes off to the interweb and pulls down all the relevant fields for my tagging. Only thing it doesnt do is Album Art, but as its ripped properly, WMP11 does that whenever I play the song through there.

currenlty only using XP, vista will be next months little project me thinks :)
 
Took a weekend to get all mine tagged how I wanted it. A certain bunch of albums required entirely manual tagging as they didn't appear to be in CDDB...

But looks so much better when done :)

Yeah, without going into to much detail i didn't acquire all my music from my CD collection, its an accumulation of five of my friends music, they decide iTunes can do its own thing with music, and they have obviously go it from dubious sources so i won't go into too much detail, but you do not realise how unorgainsed it really was... :o Everything i do is kept neat and tidy though :)

Also i think WMP11 doesn't actually add album art, not sure though, it may act like itunes with a database instead... I also wanted all the tags to be just ID3 v2.3 compliant, and all other tags empty so my iPod didn't have a hissy fit too. From what i've read have v1 v2.x and maybe ape and flac tags as well as album art can cause problems with iPod sometimes...

I'm working on this as my next "goal" but it's more an ear thing, when i hear albums that sound awful, or less than good quality i'll get rid and erm... "re-rip" :o them :) But for now just having them, and having them in order is good!

Right sorry, there is no trial software Music Brainz PicardQT is free, probably the best mostly unattented tagger out there, i was talking about Vista Explorer looking sweet after i'd tagged and added album art, i quoted the guy asking what it looked like...

//Edit: Oh i see your confusion, i was asked to download a trail of vista just to take screenies... odd i'd never do that :p but i have Vista anyway
