iTunes Ripping from CD to NAS

Hi there, apologies as I'm sure this has been answered in some form several times but I can't find too specific a question (s). I have a MacBook (OSX) and a DLINK NAS talk to one another. I would like to ship ripping my CD collection, so I have digital versions available, allowing me to use a number of services (iTunes, Sonos etc.), with files on the NAS itself.

What setting should I before I start?

  1. Change iTunes to MP3 format extraction
  2. ITunes library update location on NAS where ripped files will be made available
  3. Configure iTunes to watch the entire where my audio files will be, or create a separate folder "library only" and somehow configure if it has a few shortcuts to real files?
  4. Anything else?

In short, I want to make sure I'll keep that a copy of the file to save space as well assume that I need to extract the files directly on the NAS. Then iTunes media library should just look at these files, so there is no drop iTunes and double files?

I have probably explains this very badly indeed but eager to make sure that I'm going on the right foot and make a beautiful torn library located on my NAS, but just once!

Thanks in advance!

Everyone likes the idea of SIN, Sonos, etc., but in reality, iTunes and NAS don't like each other and can cause unexpected problems. Not always, but when it happens, you'll be one very unhappy announcement back here.

The format to which tear you depends on the size of the file to which you are ripping applications are you your other devices and to a certain extent.  For speeds of 128 k or less get you better quality of AAFC.

If you continue to use the SIN, you can move the entire library to it.  Copy the entire folder iTunes from iTunes to the NAS, then launch iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the iTunes Library.itl file in the folder on the NAS.  The NAS will have to be awake and active before launching iTunes or iTunes will forget the location and you will need to reset it.

From this moment the only things stored on your computer will be the backups of the iPhone and some files in iTunes preferences.

Make sure that you keep backups of the library on the NAS.  We can one day you'll start things and discover all your track lists point to very different files and you will LOVE your backup at this stage because dealing with by other means will require 30 positions.

  • Disorganized iTunes Media after moving to NAS

    Hello

    I have moved my iTunes for Synology NAS library and am maintaining the logical structure of the different media files.

    On the NAS, I created volume 'Media' where I moved to the iTunes library and where I want all kinds of media to reside and to share with others (Synology, Plex) apps. This volume is now the default iTunes media folder.

    I have relinked the library in ITunes without problem and can see everything as before, but when for example I am adding new content to music to iTunes (with 'Keep media' and 'Copy media in the iTunes folder') organized checked it lands directly in the 'media' instead of ' Media /Music"." Why and how can I solve this problem?

    I want to keep the structure of file like this:

    Media (volume)

    -Music

    -Artist name

    -Album name

    -Movies

    -Name of film

    TV - series

    -Show Name

    -Books

    -Etc.

    Is this possible? Is to select a volume than the main iTunes folder of media app messes things why?

    It seems OK, I had to «Organize library...» "after moving and all the orphaned files have been moved to /Music they belong.

    I think I like iTunes a little more now

  • Restoration of music iTunes & playlists from Time Machine

    For some unexplained reason, iTunes decided to forget all my music and lists reading, although nothing had been knowingly changed. As much as iTunes is concerned, I don't have music and playlists.

    I see all the music is still on my hard drive, so import again would be probably to load my music into iTunes, but I have a number of large playlists that I also want to preserve.  I thought that it is better to ask advice before rushing in and possibly make things worse.

    My hard drive is backed up with Time Machine daily. What is the best way to return to how it was using TM?  What files should be restored?

    Try to hold down the option/ALT key at startup of iTunes and select the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder. If it's not search with spotlight.

    If necessary:

  • How to add album art to imported CD on iTunes 12.3.3.17 NAS disk?

    How add us album artwork on a CD imported into iTunes 12.3.3.17 on a drive connected to my Airport Extreme?

    Get Info, Album artwork, shows in work, but once I click on "ok", nothing shows in my music library. Album art not available through «Get the cover»

    Help, please.

    Your iTunes media stored on a network volume should not make a difference.  If you ask about the order to download album art, which does not always work.  The album should be in the database online, accessing Apple to work of albums sold in the iTunes store.

    Otherwise, you can add your own album artwork.  For example, if the album cover appears somewhere on the Internet (like Amazon or another web site), you can often "drag out" the image of the Safari window on the desktop of your Mac (to download the image file).  In iTunes, select all of the songs from the album at once, right-click on the selection and information (to display the info of several element).  Go to tab work of the Info window.  Click Add artwork, OR drag the image file from the desktop to the Info window and drop it onto the square to the work area.

  • IPod Classic (and iTunes library) from Windows to Mac

    Hey ppl, can someone help me with this one?
    My iPod Classic was initially connected to a PC, because I didn't have a Mac at the time. But I an and for a long time, and now I'm about to get a second.
    I was put in place with the PC mostly because my iTunes library has nearly 500 stored cd and I use my iMac only for work, I didn't want to fill his 500 GB drive with iTunes library. But now that I'm about to take my work to a new Mac, I thought that it was time to move my iTunes library to Mac, and I did it with the help of an external hard drive.

    Now, everything is ok with iTunes on Mac all the CDs and the works of art and library moved nicely.

    But when I connected the iPod it syncs ok, but does not receive a new cd that I just uploaded on the Mac.

    I have noticed that an already existing CD which I modified the work on the Mac, sync ok for the iPod, but not the new CD. The CD is an original, not a copy.
    I think it has to do with the iPod having been registered to another computer. I allow them the Mac, but still the CD is not transferred to the iPod.
    I want to get rid of my PC, but I need the iPod to work with the Mac.
    Can someone tell me what I'm missing, or doing wrong?
    Thank you

    I had checked the discussions over and over again before posting the question and do not find an answer, and now after posting the question, I found what solved my problem - iPod sync fine with the Mac. (to goodbye PC)

    "Kenichi Watanabe 26 February 2016 06:04 Re: Ipod connects to itunes, but does not synchronize "
    in reply to Umphreys21

    OK, that's fine.  So, just what is currently on the iPod is already in your new library iTunes, correct?

    When you start with a new iTunes library and add your existing content, the iPod sees it as a new iTunes library, not the old one that was previously used to synchronize the iPod.  The partners from iPod to your new iTunes library and the Tower WE Auto Sync, follow these steps...

    Select the iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to display the parameters of the iPod in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.

    NOTE: All iPod songs that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

    Check the box to Sync music.  This turns ON Auto Sync (and associate the iPod to your new iTunes library).  If your library complete iTunes music can fit on iPod, choose the option to synchronize the entire music library.  Click apply.

    On a separate note, since you started with a new iTunes library, you have added all your content to your backup, but you probably do not have the additional data (such as playlists, ratings, play head, date added, etc.).  Depending on how you have saved your iTunes data, it may be possible to restore your full (not only your media) iTunes library.  You need to be good with the help of your new iTunes library, but if you want more information, thanks for posting back. »

    So thanks Kenichi Watanabe

  • Restoring iTunes only from Time Machine backup

    Hi all

    I just installed a new SSD on my iMac and the only thing I want to really restore is my iTunes library of music, playlists, movies, applications and device back ups.

    Is someone can you please tell me how I can restore only on the iTunes on the new SSD part?

    I was able to locate the iTunes folder manually in the time Machine up which is sitting on my Airport Time Capsule 2 TB.

    Would it be a matter of clicking and dragging the folder iTunes from the drive external hard Time Machine for the new SSD internal?

    Or would I need to use Migration Assistance or another method?

    Thank you very much

    If you have not changed anything, your iTunes library must be stored in the music folder, so it would be as simple as the copy of your iTunes library to your Time Capsule in the folder music of your SSD. In doing so, iTunes will detect your library the next time you open it and you will keep all your data on it.

    Another option would be to use the Migration Wizard, but keep in mind that the wizard can migrate the other files, as well as your old user account.

  • Transfer iTunes Music From Windows on iMac

    I am trying to help my sister. She has a very old Windows Vista laptop that is to his last breath. She wants to transfer the music from iTunes to Windows to an iMac (iOS 10.9.5).

    I tried searching on these boards without success. Both the posts that I found about this are old. Links to the answers, items of information, etc. do not work. Other solutions to the issue of link to old items outside of the Apple community where you are notified that the solution is not authorized by Apple and so on.

    Music from CD only. There are dozens of CDs. Some of these CDs are now damaged or missing.

    She wants to transfer the entire library of music. She is not interested in playlists, etc.

    Thank you for your help in this matter.

    Gloria,

    On his current machine, if the library is not already consolidated, run the command build.  Then copy folder integer iTunes to the media (USB key or external hard drive) and the media for the new Mac.

  • iTunes sync from (images)

    Hello together,

    for some time I have a problem during synchronization of my images (jpg) from my pc to my apple devices.

    Used equipment:

    -10 Windows x 64

    -latest version of itunes (I tried the different)

    -iphone running ios 9.2 6s

    Question from-->: several albums are not synchronized 100%, still a few missing images

    -ipad running ios 3 version 8

    question from-->: only 2500 images are synchronized - no more...

    For these two questions, I ve already deleted the iPod Photo Cache several times, so stopped rebootet pc, itunes, etc. rebooted the iphone / ipad but always with the same result.

    ITunes seems to calculate the exact amount of images that need to be synchronized, but somehow they aren't... couldn t find any question about the images themselves. All are genereated by using adobe lightroom with the same profile. Also missing photos are not the greatest, so I can't find something in common for the photos...

    Advice or recommendations? Enjoy a type of media...

    THX.

    OK at least for the timing issue with my iPhone 6 s, it seems I've found the problem, including a nice workaround...

    When I tried to get it fixed I figured out that always the same images fail, so I removed all the images in sync and exported the images concerned with different types of settings from Lightroom... once I removed the metadata image could be synchronized again...

    Don t ask me why he was working for all other images with exactly the same meta data, but somehow, it works as expected once the metadata has been removed...

    rest the question with the ipad 3 - anyone any idea? is there a limit to 2500 images?

  • How to transfer itunes library from PC from XP to Windows 10 computer laptop

    I'm looking for help if there is someone who is able to explain the technical magic to someone who has no idea what she's doing!

    I have an old PC with Windows XP and run my iTunes from there, with all my media files on an external hard drive. The iTunes is version 12.0.1.26. I have "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" box checked, as well as box "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". I bought a laptop with Windows 10 and want to start running iTunes this new portable computer, while keeping the files on the EHD and keep all my playlists, etc. I have all the music files saved on a separate DHM.

    I installed the latest version of iTunes on the laptop and was able to recognize that my library, but all the playlists, play counts, a large part of the work, and most importanly, the tick on the side of the track (I have about 55 000 titles there, so I have to uncheck a lot because they won't fit on my iPod) disappeared. I don't want to go through the 55 000 tracks again, so could you is it someone please let me know the best way to make the iTunes on the laptop are similar to what I currently have.

    I removed the new version of iTunes from the laptop and tried to open the old version of my EHD, but it won't let me and gives me an error iTunes error Windows error 126 7. I'm guessing that I have not all files necessary for the opening of iTunes on my DHM and some stay in the C drive of my old PC, but I don't know what needs to get through, it is possible to have all the files on the EHD program and open the old version of iTunes on my laptop this way. I took my DHM and reconnect the old PC and it still works very well from there.

    I have to say it's all become a bit of a mess over the years, as I tried to move everything related to iTunes, including program files, for my DHM, it would be reasonable to assume that I don't know where all the bits and pieces that need to run iTunes currently are on my old PC and DHM and something seems to be duplicated with similar looking for records in both places, probably as a result do not remove older versions during the upgrade as I should have done. I confirm, however, that my library is in a folder on the EHD.

    I can't upgrade to the latest version of iTunes on the old PC, because it doesn't seem to be compatible with XP, and I was unable to download the older version of iTunes on the new laptop (something to do with a difference between 32 and 64 bit, but I didn't have a clue what it meant!).

    Ultimately, I want to be able to do is plug my DSE on the new laptop and be able to open iTunes, see everything, as it is currently on my old PC.

    Sorry to look like a bit of a novice when it comes to computers, but if someone could help I would be very grateful, because I'm afraid to do something which all mess up!

    See make a library of portable split.
