[proper english]

EBW.. how do you have 704 artists?! that's crazy amount of variety right there

 

[crazy ebw]

I always tell people I have the widest range of music preference. I can listen to ANY type of music and enjoy it. A good song is a good song. Music is as bigof a hobby to me as it is anything else. I always have some tunes on. Music for any mood. Music for any of my friends.

I just love music man.

"Date Added" is very important to me. Don't sleep on it! Helps me keep up with what I have since i'm always adding new stuff. Helps me stayfresh when my buddies ask me for some new stuff they haven't heard of and want a new CD for whatever reason. I don't use CDs anymore, the pod in thewhip is a must.

 

[r0yalty]

^ My lazy %$+ just goes to the "Recently Added" playlist

 

[stillmaticshay]

cool thread, how do i make those folders to the right with the genre and artists in there?

thanks

 

[crazy ebw]

^They're called Column Browsers under the view option. I find them very useful for going through my music quickly and finding what I really feel likehearing. I still use the search function a ton but when you mess with them and get it how you want it they're awesome.

Just watched 500 Days Of Summer and man that soundtrack (and movie) is great. Check it out!!

Why do you feel this way?

Because I feel like my iTunes is STACKED.

Ok, I keep encountering this problem. I moved all of my music files to my external drive. I even changed the directory for incoming music to go straight to theexternal hd. However, I just disconnected the hd, and played one of the newly acquired albums.

I don't know how many songs have been added to my laptop, but it might be a hell of a lot.

So let me get this straight. You have your songs on an external. You add files to your library and when you unplug your external the files willstill play in iTunes?

Are the files being copied to your external when you put add to library? If so, you just need to clean out your iTunes music folder on your internal HD Ibelieve. I don't understand why they would copy them there still if you have it pointed to your external. I think I remember reading somewhere that if youopen iTunes without your external hooked up it would point directly to your internal. Maybe that's why they copy there?

one thing i love about iTunes is the Genius sidebar.. this is where i discover about half of my new music. iTunes is def

iTunes is pretty much open all the time, and I frequently disconnect the external hd. This hopefully will explain why newly added music gets sentto the internal. I checked and only 6 albums have been put on my internal. Thank goodness cuz its been a busy week

. So, I guess I will try and closeiTunes whenever I disconnect the external, and also check everytime I add a folder to the library.

 

[crazy ebw]

iTunes is smart enough to organize your whole library in the external, I believe you just hit a hiccup somewhere along the way. If you add a folder to yourlibrary with your external connected and you have the "copy songs" checked, it should do it for you and not keep the songs on your internal drive.

 

[mrxdaboss]

just a heads up always save a copy of the album art in the albums folder trust me.

 

[crazy ebw]

God. Damn.

Anyways, anybody use EQ for songs/albums? I never have messed with it too much but I feel like i'm missing out on better sound without EQ settings for mystuff.

I use the Smart playlist tool alot, it helps keep things fresh
