How to separate the different CDs with different titles in iTunes

Hello

Please help me because I find that iTunes is not easy to use (to a point of departure to experience).

Option 1:

I have all my CDs stored on my external hard drive. In iTunes, click on "Add to library" and a drop down of my files appear. I select A folder title and songs are copied to iTunes. In the window of iTunes and under 'my music' and 'artists' (upper right corner) pieces appear with the title "unknown artist" and "unknown album" that appears.

On my computer, I have the following:

users > music > iTunes > iTunes media > music

> CD A (unknown artist - nothing)

> CD (title unknown album - showing the list of songs)

I have manually rename the artist and album folders subfolders.

> CD A (type the title)

> CD A (type the title - display the list of songs)

When I play my music in iTunes, iTunes automatically creates a new "unknown artist" under folder and subfolders "unknown album", respectively. Every song in my sub labeled folder manually moved to the new album 'unknown '.

> CD A (my typical title)

> CD A (my typical title - no list of songs)

> CD A (unknown artist - nothing)

> CD (album unknown list - view the list of songs that have been transferred)

In any case stop iTunes from new subfolders open after you create subfolders when installing an external hard drive.

Option 2

I have the original purchased legally CD from Amazon.com. I load the CD in my player and iTunes, a message appears ' do you want to import the music from the CD title: "I click on Yes and the songs are loaded. On my computer, I have the following:

users > music > iTunes > iTunes media > music

> Compilations

> South Pacific (Broadway)

> South Pacific (West End)

> Sound of Music (Broadway)

> Sound of Music (West End)

I did not take it. I create 2 new subfolders in the South Pacific and the sound of music. Transfer the South Pacific CD 2 x in the main folder of void SP and transfer the x 2 sounds of music CD in the main folder of void SOM. Delete the subfolder "compilation". I ask this question because I don't want to spoil, wasting time and to find iTunes create new subfolders as he did in option 1. I don't want to redo the import of my CD

In the window of iTunes and under 'my music' and 'artists' (upper right corner), it shows the LHS bar with compilations (4 albums - IE 2 x SOM and 2 x SP CD). On my computer, if I deleted compilations under folder and created 2 new subfolders in the South Pacific and the sound of music, titles would change in the LHS of the window iTunes as well. Would creat it too much of a problem for iTunes.

Option 2 (re-rip your music from a CD) seems to be a pain, so go with Option 1.

iTunes is probably do what you describe, because your song files apparently do not have "metadata" (embedded info) for things like the name of the song, artist, album, track name, etc.  When you import these files of songs in iTunes, iTunes uses "unknown artist" and "unknown album."  If you understand what iTunes does, you won't be iTunes of fighting .

Here's a suggestion to add these songs as easy as possible.  First, open iTunes preferences Advanced Panel.  The path that you see the designated iTunes Media folder, you should not change (unless you want to store your iTunes Media also folder).  Below, there are TWO check boxes to keep iTunes Media folder organized AND Add files to the Media folder when adding to the iTunes library.  One tells iTunes to keep iTunes Media folder organized based on how the pieces appear in iTunes (this is why these files got renamed).  The other tells iTunes to make a copy of the song for the iTunes Media folder file (instead of using the file of the song where it was added).  I recommend you keep the two checkboxes are checked.

Create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  To do this, click the button on the music at the left end of the horizontal bar (to show your music library), and then click playlists near the middle of the horizontal bar.  A side bar appears along the left side of the iTunes window.  At the bottom of the sidebar, click the Plus sign and choose new playlist.  A new playlist appears in the sidebar, where you can name; You can call it Import.  Click Import playlist in the sidebar, to show the (currently empty) reading list to the right.  Keep iTunes window open in this way.

Open a Finder window to view your storage space of files of the song on the external hard drive.  Select one of your folders of the song ("title" in your example).  Drag this folder in the Finder window, in the iTunes window and drop it on the playlist of the import .  The songs are added to this list of reading and also in your iTunes library.  Change the 'view' of this playlist; at the right end of the horizontal bar, click on the control and select the view of songs .  The playlist is presented as a simple list, with columns, where it is easier to change the song information.  Don't worry at this stage, on the way in which the songs are stored in a warehouse of your Mac; iTunes takes care of this...

Tips for handling the song list - to sort the list by a column, click the header of this column.  For example, to sort by song name, click the last name column heading. Click a second time to reverse the order.  You can hide and show the available columns, by clicking right on the line of the list header.  You can move a column to the left or right (on the list) by dragging the position of the column.  To select a song on the list, click on the song.  Selection of song appearing together at the same time, click the first song, hold down the SHIFT key, click the last song.  To select the songs listed separately at the same time, hold down the command and Option keys and click on the songs you want to select.

You can change most of the entries of information of the song on the list directly, by clicking on the field you want to change a song.  However, to make a lot more quickly, you can change a set of songs at the same time, using the Info window.  For example, select all the songs on an album at the same time, right-click the selection and select information.  In the window information , Details tab, change the field Album of songs.  Do the same thing by selecting all the pieces of the same artist at the same time and change the field to the artist .  You must also add the entries of path #, so that iTunes knows the order of songs on an album (make it from the info window).  If the song name currently includes info addition, change it so that it is only the name of the song (do on the list).  If you look in the iTunes Media folder now (using the Finder), iTunes has remained things organized, based on the edit, you did in the iTunes window.  The songs are now organized into subfolders by artistand then by Album, with the song found files: the track number name more song.

With a selection of import , you have been keeping all the songs of one of your folders set when editing the info of the song.  They were probably organized this way on your external drive for a reason.  You can create playlists to import additional for your other records with songs.  Or you can delete current songs in the playlist of import and reuse for the next record with songs.  The songs are not removed from your library of iTunes (only from the playlist) music.

  • How to separate the different elements of a composite image in separate layers?

    Hi guys,.

    I hit a road block, and I was wondering if someone could help me go beyond this.

    Basically, I have this image:

    [IMG] http://i50.Tinypic.com/13z06jn.jpg [line]

    and in the upper part of it going to the text (the title of the article).

    However, I would like for the text to go behind the head of John Marston (the man in the image), but obviously not behind the background.

    The problem I'm having is, it is a single image. I was wondering, is it possible to separate the image of the man in the background so that I can raise above the text, or a way to move the text behind him, but not behind the background?

    Or a completely different solution that I have completely forgotten? Apologies if it's very simple and it looks like I'm wasting your time. I don't claim to be an expert with Fireworks!

    Thank you in advance to anyone who is able to help me with this problem.

    Sincerely,

    Jack606.

    Use the polygon tool to draw around the figure. Once tracing has been finished, and you see what looks like the mobile dotted line that surrounds it, choose the Edition command > copy, then select > deselect and then click on the regular pointer tool, choose the command Edition > paste. That will stick in a copy of the figure you traced, which allows you to add text behind it. I made a copy for you that you will be able to edit in Fireworks.

    Hi Marek,

    I have not tried, but it seems the most logical way:

  • How to use the ESD document with structured templates

    Hello

    I started to learn working with SEDD. I have an existing ESD, now I'm suppose to use it to create documents. I created a new book and imported this ESD file to it. I can see all the items in the catalog of the element. But when I start to add items to the book and add a new document, the elements are turning to red. Referring to the User Guide, it is said EDD cannot be used directly and must be used with structured patterns. But I do not have these models structured with me. Can someone please tell me how to create these structured templates and how to use the ESD file with these models, and out of this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    Although ESD exist in the form of a separate document, the only way that it can be used is when it is part of the model. As a model of structured FrameMaker, a structured model contains master pages, pages reference, character formats, paragraph formats, etc. IN ADDITION, a structured model contains a DSP. To add the EDD to your template file, or any document FrameMaker who will use it, open the template file and the file of ESD. Click anywhere in the template file, and then select file > import > element definitions. In the dialog box, select the EDD file as source and click Import. Then save the template file.

    To use the template file, open it and save it as a FrameMaker document, giving it the name you want. You can now create your structure.

    If you use a book, all documents in the book must use the same ESD. Open the template file. In the book file, select all the documents in the book. Then select file > import > element definitions. In the dialog box, select the template file and click Import. Once completed, all documents in the book have the same ESD. In addition, ESD is copied into the file of the book itself.

    You say:

    But when I start to add items to the book and add a new document, the elements are turning to red.

    It is is not clear to me what you do. While it is true that SOME elements of a book are in the book file, you cannot add a book of items in the folder (at least not as far as I know). In general, the book file, it encapsulates elements around the documents root elements in the book. You may need to update the book to get a part of the Red disappear lines. You may need to rearrange items in the structure of the book to remove the red lines.

    Hope this helps,

  • How to calibrate the PCI-6110 with NOR-DAQmx

    Hello

    I am a new user of the PCI-6110 Council tries to run the calibration using LabVIEW procedure. I look at the document "Calibration" on the page of the manuals for the Board of Directors,

    http://sine.NI.com/NIPs/nisearchservlet?nistype=psrelcon&NID=11888&lang=us&q=FQL: 28locale % 3Aen % 29 + AND + % 28phwebnt % 3 A 1081 + OR + phwebnt % 3 A 7075% 29 + AND + 28nicontenttype % 3Aproductmanual % 29 + AND + % 28docstatus % 3Acurrent % 29% 20RANK % 20nilangs: en & title = NOR + PCI-6110 + manual

    One of the first steps in the document is to call the AI_Configure command to set the input mode, beach, etc. I'm using LabVIEW 8.5 with the NOR-DAQmx software, and I can not find the command (which, in LabVIEW, seems to be "AI Config.vi") anywhere. The calibration paper was written in 2003, and I gather from Google searches (please, correct me if wrong) that this command is actually a part of NOR-DAQ traditional, who was replaced by driver OR DAQmx.

    My question is this: what is the equivalent to AI_Configure command in the latest software? Is it perhaps a subsequent document describing how to calibrate using NOR-DAQmx?

    Thanks much for any help.

    Hi Tom,

    The calibration Procedure series B, E, M, S, which is also linked from this page, describes how to calibrate the PCI-6110 with NOR-DAQmx.
