Right-Clicking MP3 properties in Windows & Advanced Tag Editor in
That is, compared to accomplishing the same tasks by right clicking "Get Info" in iTunes.
Long story short - I'm sure you all know how to right-click and change the properties of mp3s/wavs/whatever in either Windows or iTunes. A dialogue box pops up and you change all sorts of stuff(artist, song name, genre,the original album, the year, etc) plus iTunes lets you insert album artwork on the right-hand-most tab. In WMP, you can do the same thing by right clicking "Advanced Tag Editor". Problem is, in the Windows-based platforms the changes don't "stick"! Pain in the f__king ASS! iTunes? No problem! Water off a duck's back. Isn't it about time Redmond place a call down to Cupertino to find out just HOW iTunes gets it right? Conversely, the only thing about iTunes is that it is erasing song files from my PC's harddrive, so I'm constantly having to check for and replace music. Oh well, take the good with the bad. This is't 1/2" tape land anymore.. LMAO -CC |

I dunno about blaming Redmond. iTunes works great on OSX but has always been pretty wonky on Windows in general. I always figured Cupertino needs to Redmond call for some Windows programming help. Conversely, the only thing about iTunes is that it is erasing song files from my PC's harddrive, so I'm constantly having to check for and replace music. Make sure you have iTunes set to copy the media into the iTunes library. On OSX the box to check is "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. Otherwise it's just referencing the original files when you add them, so that if you're copying from another drive and remove that drive it doesn't actually have the media. |

Now THAT's a "pain in the F_ing ass" surely?!!!!!!!!! iTunes has the capability of checking your library for licences for DRM protected material, which it may delete if it can't find or download a licence. There's also a tick box in WMP which lets you automatically delete media when you remove items from the library. The only reason I have iTunes installed is because one of the video editors I use needs its codec pack. It gets nowhere near the music collection. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

Anyway, I took a look at some stuff I had in there and found that the only tunes that were all grayed out were linked to ".wav" files. Any (test) changes I made to MP3s seemed to stick just fine. Don't have a clue why your system might be messed up. Then too (as always) : YMMV! == Later... Ron Capik -- __________________ Actually, the changes made in WMP DO stick - after two or more attempts! Could it be a "dll" issue? And if so how do you restore missing/damaged dlls? -CC |

As far as deleting things from WMP playlists in its library, I make TRIPLE sure I'm deleting ONLY from the library and not from the comptuter. -CC |
