Itunes questions
« on: January 20, 2008, 08:11:34 PM »
So I have my music organized in folders like this:

music/westcoast/a-m/Luniz/Operation Stakola

Not all of my music is tagged, so when it comes into Itunes it might get put under "Artist"

is there a way that I can have Itunes recognize my folders, and have it label the music like that?  For instance in this case, if this album wasn't tagged, it would label it under "Luniz" as the artist and "Operation Stakola" as the album.

Is this possible, or am I just wishing?

yea basically its been awhile since i used itunes but i think you select all the song you want under a album the right click on it, and it should give u options on what u want to do

I don't know.... I usually just make sure they're archived correctly when I'm uploading them to my computer

that way the first time they go on the computer I'll always know where it's at

Itunes = Crap

MediaMonkey 3 is far superior; better tagging, better layout, better search, more customizable, more options, and easier to sync with your Ipod..

And you can easily view all folders on your computer in a tree layout explorer style:



The album cover list is pretty sweet too, very easy to switch back and forth:

   

Everything can be customized, almost like Firefox.  8)

Yep, pretty damn easy too.

Although I'm not known as the biggest Ipod-fan, I helped my brother update his Ipod through Mediamonkey, and without having done it before, it took me a minute or so to realize how to sync the Ipod with the desired folders on the computer.. real quick transfer as well.

I like iTunes.

Why ?

It gets me more overview than winamp and wmp, I use my iPod with it, tag albums/songs
