Ivolume download for ipod touch how to#
Haven’t figured out how to stop that and still get the folders. I HATE that iTunes renames your files when you let it organize your files into folders. The older versions truncate filenames, which is problem if you have long file names. Re: ID tags, make sure you are using the latest version ID3v2.3. I use “-V2 –vbr-new -q0 –lowpass 19.7 -b96” as my custom command string for music files that are going to my library, and it generates amazing MP3 files averaging around 5MB each. I force it to use custom settings on encoding. LAME is still the best encoder I’ve found, but it’s a command line interface that is not exactly intuitive. Fortunately, it’s just a handful of files. I’ve had to rip the files to WAV and then re-encode as MPEG III Layer III using LAME. There is probably a way to re-encode the header only, but I haven’t found it. Some files are encoded MPEG III Layer I and iTunes will not load them, which is why the count in iTunes is sometimes different than the number of files on the drive. MP3Tag will expose all the format fields so you can sort on them and spot the outliers. There are, however, some shortcomings such as the way it handles album art noted above. ITunes is still the best app for working with an iPod – hardly surprising – so it’s in my list of apps I use regularly. You can drag and drop from the HTML page directly to MP3Tag or iTunes. It then generates an HTML page with all the album art it can find. your whole library if you want, 10MB file limit) from iTunes, and upload the file. Google images is helpful too, include "imagesize:500x500" in the search.Īrt4iTunes lets you export a playlist (e.g. Crop out the picture, and drag-and-drop to MP3Tag. It is easier to have a photo manager program open that will let you crop images, since many have white borders embedded in the JPG, and you probably don’t want that. It looks like they are phasing that out, though, with the new "zoom" feature that lets them put up a high rez image you can't copy.

Try the MP3 download section first, as most of those seem to be 500x500. I keep relearning that stupid lesson, so now I’m systematically adding the art to the MP3 files.Ī is the best source for high definition album covers. Note: this means that just because you have album art in iTunes, doesn’t mean you will have it another player (like my Sonos system). I would rather have the art in the file, so I’m working on the art in MP3Tag.
So you wind up with a mishmash, and if you backup your files or move your library, you lose the album art. They will read the art out of files, but if you add art via iTunes or WMP, they put the art in a separate folder.

iTunes and Windows Media Player don’t work that way. The more recent iterations of the MP3 codec allow you to save the album art embedded in the song file. The new Apple products use cover flow, and it’s just not cool to see lots of grey squares when it could be beautiful works of art.

Re album art - with my Sonos system I can display my music library on my TV (and pick songs, albums or playlists, and select where in the house I want them to play), so having high resolution album art is a very nice thing. I’ve found Foobar2000 and MediaMonkey to be good as well. MP3Tag is the best general purpose tagging utility I’ve found so far. I came here to post the same question, hoping against hope for some quantum leap in technology.

Or is my vision of metadata perfection a lost cause? I'm hoping some wonderful new tool or strategy has come along since then. I know there have been a few similar questions on Ask before, but none for at least a year or so. But for fear of distorting what is already nice and shiny, I can't. If not for the fact that a good portion of my library is already impeccably organized, I'd just run the whole thing through Picard or a similar app.
It was also a pain going back and forth between Picard and iTunes to cross-check things.
I've played around with MusicBrainz Picard, but that really just seemed to make things worse, since hardly any of the data the app pulled from the database seemed to match up exactly with the reality of my library (conflicting track lengths, missing songs from albums, etc). I'm bugged by stupid little things like the fact that a good deal of my files are tagged slightly incorrectly, that I don't have a consistent bit-rate, that album artwork is almost a lost cause, etc. I'm more than a little bit OCD about my music collection.
