MP3 organizing/tagging

[V.V.V.V.V.]

In 4 years I'm sure you got a ton of shit.

Yes, I did.

Question for iTunes people. I'm trying to get about 650 MB of songs onto a 700 MB CD-r, and I want them to go onto it as a data CD, not as an audio CD. How do I make it do that?

 

[panzerfaust666]

Go to prefrences>Advanced>burning.
and then select Data CD or DVD.Done.

Hope that was right.

Thanks man. I keep forgetting there's a menu under "iTunes" in the top bar. I guess I'm still a bit used to windows where it starts with "File" and goes from there. But besides that, I've adjusted quite well to my Mac and love it.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I finally fixed my CD tagging dilemma in Winamp. For some reason their shitty CDDB/Gracenote service wasn't letting me retag anything from CDs, which are quite FUCKING OFTEN mistagged...it was a pain. But it is fixed.

yeah I love macs. So functional.

I have my music saved on a seperate drive on the server for remote wireless access throughout the house (samba on linux).. this ensures I don't have to rely on an iPod while I'm using the laptop or not in my room.

Metal is formatted as

/!Metal/genre/subgenre/artist/(year) - album/artist - (track) - title.extention

(! in the name keeps it up in directory listing)

Non metal as,

/genre/artist/(year) - album/artist - (track) - title.extention

I add album covers as folder.jpg thumbnails of 400x400 size in each album's folder with lyrics added for each and every track. I use Amarok and Tag&Rename under windows (remotely) for most of my tagging. Very quick to operate and friendly once you get a hold of it.

Don't do that. WMA to MP3 is a conversion which compromises the sound quality.
Re-rip the album to MP3 or download it again.

 

[panzerfaust666]

how do i re rip it?.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Put it in your comp and change the importing settings in iTunes to high quality mp3. Don't convert.

Alternatively, find the album online and download @ 320kbps. If you've already bought it you can do so with a clean conscience.

doesnt work. Itunes wont accept the WMA file.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Are you ripping from a CD? CD files aren't WMA's, they're CDA's.

If you just d/led it, be more careful when you d/l and only d/l files you know iTunes can handle. Alternatively, under prefs on iTunes there may be a file format thing where you can check off WMA as a trusted extension or something.

 

[panzerfaust666]

No I downloaded the album

 

[FenriR]

Then you're bugger'd. Download it again in mp3 format. God knows the internet is covered in the stuff.

I got a soundcard on Monday, so I can finally start listening to music on my computer again! Yay!

For serious!

WMAs were pretty useful a few years ago, when memory was a lot more expensive relative to music. Going with the smaller format was a good idea, and then you could manually play the cds if you wanted high quality.
