Hey guys (and girls)

I set all my songs to the "Rock" preset in iTunes. I recently replaced my hard drive and now I have to set them all again. Its a PITA doing it one by one. Is there a way to block set them all to a certain preset? Thanks.
 
going by iTunes for windows here, but select all your music, right click (or whatever macs do with their 1 button), then go to get info, and change the equilizer preset.

what difference does this actually make to just always having iTunes EQ set to rock?
 
Mac mice have two buttons ;)

Cmd+A (select all), and then press Cmd+I (Get Info).. set the preset to "Rock" and it'll apply them to all tracks.

I'm pretty sure the presets are carried over when streamed to another PC/Mac, and equally preserved when played on an iPod..
 
You're both right, I have a MacBook but two-finger click enabled. :P

Thanks for your answers, it worked. Turned out to be a stupid question after all because I thought I'd tried that (was the first thing you'd think of doing isn't it?)

Anyway problem solved. :)
 
ahh - I've never really used a mac at all, I spent about half an hour watching TV on my sister's iMac a while ago and a few minutes on a friend's Macbook - I was trying to right click and just didn't even think to "two-finger click". I'd love to get a mac and just play for a while, it's been something I've wanted to do for quite a while now, but at £600 I just can't justify buying a Macbook to see if the OS is any good.
 
Two-finger click is something you have to enable but its there. :)

If you want to try a Mac have a look for a second hand machine. Even if its running an older version of OSX the basics are pretty much the same.

I gambled on my first Mac and bought an iBook few years ago. Luckily it paid off and now Macs are my computer of choice (although you can't beat PCs for raw power/£ so I have a Windows box for encoding and the very occasional game)

Your a student?

You qualify for HE discount, you can get the base spec Mac Mini for £359.
