Properties of the file means nothing?

I'm learning to iTunes.  I got rid of my iPod years and promised to never go back.

Yet, I find myself in the situation where I need to learn it again.

Just try to understand a few issues here.

(1) if I look at the properties of my file (Windows), I can see album, genre (?), etc.  I can also change this information.  I need so that I can create playlists based on some information.   If I change this information in the properties of the file Windows, iTunes is updating new information?

(2) when iTunes imports all the music on my computer, it copies it to a new location?  For example, if I download an album to my office, all the files are in a folder Album1.  Can I synchronize files in iTunes (or drag and drop into iTunes) can I go back to delete the original folder of Album1 off my desktop computer?

Thank you

  1. N ° iTunes will automatically detect changes to external metadata. These will be picked up if iTunes because of reading the label, for example during playback. If you use iTunes, using iTunes. I have a script called UpdateTagInfo if you really want to change externally and then force iTunes to notice.
  2. It depends on where the files (inside or outside the designated media folder) and your choice for the advanced preference, copy the files in the folder when adding to library media. My recommendation is to leave this option. A free iTunes content library is much easier to backup and you move.

  • Properties of the file - Date of the last recorded

    Hello.

    I'm having trouble understanding the properties of the file, as "Last record Date" (DLS) and "Date modified" (MD).

    I asked that the last of them, MD, has been changed whenever the content has changed. But Distribution lists must be updated also.

    However, I have a file which has the DLS on 2007 and MD 2014 and the 'last impression"also is 2014.

    How is that possible?

    What has changed the date the content of the file was really the last?

    I would be grateful if someone could help me understand this.

    Thank you,

    Nuno Roque

    Modification date is when the file got changed on that hard drive.  Even if you have never opened the file, just drag-and - drop it to drive flash (for an example) would last updated date change, because the file on this disk changed really.

    Properties such as "Date of last recorded" and "date printed" are stored in the file itself, such as metadata and are updated no not by disk or operating system, but by the design (such as Word) program.

  • Modification of fields on the Details tab of the properties of the file - Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit)

    A few mp3 files on my system, I'm trying to change some data in the Details tab of the properties of the file (for example, I want to add "Trance" in the field of gender and text in the comments field).

    Most of the mp3 files on my system I would just like to update these fields in detail, no problem.

    For the rest a few mp3s, I read as many articles "Windows Help" because my poor brain can handle permissions management and Managing Director property/parameter object controls access to objects, and I compared the different fields of details of the modified and unmodified files and can't see where I am going wrong or what I am missing out on.

    I would be very grateful to receive assistance from the community to my simple goal change these details fields.

    I am a user of Windows for many years and can work normally how to solve my own questions. However, this time, I'm stumped!

    Thank you very much

    Have you downloaded the file changed my cloud storage?

    The file behaves as it should?

    You can modify the comments field?

    I wrote a script for you which allows you to modify the recalcitrant files yourself. Here's what you need to do:

    1. Mark, then copy the code below.
    2. Run notepad.exe.
    3. Paste the code into the Notepad screen.
    4. Click on file / save as
    5. Open the "Save as type" drop-down list and select "All Files". This is important!
    6. Save the file as "FixMP3Files.vbs" in the folder where you keep your .mp3 files.

    To correct a file, take it and drop it on the FixMP3Files.vbs script. After about 30 seconds, you will get a .mp3 file with the word "changed" in its name.

  • Changing properties of the file during import to Premiere Pro

    Hello

    Strange problem I encountered: images taken with my Canon 6 d fixed changes in 1920 x 1080 / 30 fps at 1080 x 720/25 fps when they are imported into Premiere Pro (CS6). My PP settings are: Digital SLR, 1080 p 30.  Can someone help me understand what is happening here I have triple checked the camera and PP. settings This problem is forcing me to produce videos SD that I shot in HD – a real frustration!  Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply, but I just found out that the mistake was made before importing files in Premiere Pro. Initially, I had these files stored in the Mac Photos and did not know that by dragging to the desktop would change the file properties. To keep the original properties, you must go to file > export > export original unmodified.

  • Error: The file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location

    Hi, I have a problem when copying the files in my windows 7 PC to my Sansa clip 4 GB of sport.

    This error appears when I transfer them to any folder on my sport Clip:

    Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?
    The file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location.

    I can click Yes or not (when I click Yes, the file is copied to the new location)

    The reason why I ask is the following:
    The file will be somewhat different after being copied on my sport Clip?
    This is a file audio subliminal message to help me overcome some mental problems, so it would be bad if the file is modified after copying...

    The file plays perfectly and sound quality seems very good.
    However, I still need to know if the file is modified in a way?

    The device is correctly detected, but in the manual it says that when you go into my computer and click on the Sansa Clip Sports, you must click on a folder in the internal memory and then you will find a folder of music.

    But it is not at all a folder in the internal memory...

    When I click on Sansa Clip sport, I see these folders:
    Sound, music, audio books, Podcasts, playlists.
    AUDBOOK. LIB, AUDIBLE. LIB, M3U. LIB, MUSIC. LIB, PODCAST. LIB, version.sdk

    Thank you in advance, I really hope that someone will answer you

    The file properties check the metadata associated with the file.  This error occurs generally when the file was created on an NTFS volume and some of the assosiated with this file metadata is not supported on a FAT32 volume. What you mean actually is not associated with file properties, so it would not be changed.

  • For a given file, how to add and change file properties on the Details tab, for properties that are not in the properties list?

    Now, I am aware of the modification of the properties of the file is simple in Windows 7 Explorer. Select a file, 'Properties', then tab "Details".  Some are not editable, and that's understandable.  Click on next to any area classified as year, Genre, Publisher, etc. and the apply.  No problems so far.

    Then of course in Explorer, when you right click on a column header, you get several choices of column beyond the usual that is displayed by default; Date, the Type, size, etc.  But, there is an option "More...", which has up to now, MUCH more useful properties to choose from, such as the model project, Department, job statusand so on.

    It's fantastic!

    But when you look into the details of any given file, none of these additional properties even are listed to be edited.  Why offer to view these details, if you don't change them, or add them to different files?  I must be missing something.  I do not need to add my own custom details, this additional list has a choice, that I need; If only I could edit the files to get this info.

    How to add and change these properties to files?  Word, Excel, MP4, AVI, JPG; I would add these properties, so I can set directly in the Solution Explorer, as you would by name or Type.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    My experience is that most of these 'extra fields' no existence not as fields in the directory (folder) itself.  On the contrary, these fields exist in the target file itself. Each file type has its own format and established file except for the types of files that belong to Microsoft, Microsoft cannot control or arbitrarily change the format of a particular file type.

    For example, a ".jpg" file  The format of this file type allows a large number of areas such as comments, Tags, date taken, opening, device manufacturer and so on.  If you go into the properties on a .jpg file, you will see a lot of them and will be able to change.  After changing any of these fields, you will find that the file itself has been changed to contain this information (as can be verified by the parity of the file and to come check upward with a different checksum).  If you display one of these fields in Explorer and 10000 ".jpg" files in this folder, then Explorer must open each of these 10000 files to extract the data in the corresponding fields, you have chosen to display.  May take some time.

    Compare that to the same picture saved to a file ".bmp".  The ".bmp" format has no provisions for any of these fields, so you will not be able to view, save, edit, or sort by them.  If the editable fields are directly related to the type of file that is displayed.

    Microsoft has apparently interviewed a lot of file types and made a compilation of the editable fields in each type of file and the Union of the selected fields in which can be displayed and modified.   That's apparently what you see in the option «More...» ».   So, in summary, the file type determines which fields are available for editing and posting.
