    Help - iTunes: converted MP3 album, track lengths cut off

    So, I'm having a rather strange issue, that I can't seem to make heads or tails of. I'll try to explain as clearly as I can, it'll be a long read. I'm on Win7 (for another week or so) and iTunes 12.10.4.2 I download albums from...various "sources," and they usually come in 320k MP3 format...

    Album Rating messing up my smartlists.

    Once in a while, for some reason I can't figure out, an album or three in my library will end up with an "Album Rating." This causes me great pain and distress, because any songs on that album that don't have an individual song rating, will be treated as if they were rated whatever the Album...

    iPod backup viewer?

    So I accidentally deleted a photo from my iPod Touch that I wanted to keep. I know the photo still exists in one of my recent iPod backups. One possible solution would be to: 1. Make a new, current backup. 2. Erase the ipod. 3. Restore from the previous backup. 4. Copy the photo. 5. Erase the...

    Seriously, you can't drag-and-drop new files into iTunes anymore?

    So for the past, like, ever, the way I've imported new files into iTunes is first I move the files (.mp3, or whatever) into the "iTunes Media" folder (so it's already there, and doesn't have a second copy made on importing), then just drag them into iTunes into whatever playlist I want them in...

    Artwork issue on TV show - won't show embedded, unless I change name [EDIT #2: Ignore the edit below. The problem has decided to return spontaneously.] [EDIT #1: Hmm. Nevermind. After having iTunes closed for several hours, when I reopen it this time the embedded cover art displays...

    Converting videos - better to mixdown 5.1 or 2.0 audio track?

    I'm using HandBrake to convert some of my DVD movies to import into iTunes and play on my Apple TV and iPod Touch. I don't (currently) have a 5.1-channel speaker setup (but nothing says that can't change in the future.) I've heard that 5.1 audio doesn't sound very good when played through...

    Sorting issues (playlist & folder names)

    I just upgraded from a 2nd Gen 8GB Touch to a 4th Gen 32GB and am loving it, however having some problems with sorting issues on the device. On my old iPod when you'd go into Music and view Playlists from the root menu there would be folders and playlists labeled, for example: *Bob's Playlists...

    Stumped -- can't edit song info, but NOT "read-only"

    So a friend just called me with an iTunes problem -- she can't edit the tags on any of her iTunes tracks. The first thing I thought to ask her was if the files somehow got tagged "read-only." She checked her iTunes folder and yes, it said read-only, so she deselected that and applied it to all...

    Subtitles for iPod from .avi + .srt?

    Subtitles for iPod from .avi + .srt? (with solution) [Solution, see next post] Preferably "soft" subtitles that can be turned on and off at will. I thought it would be easy. There's an option for subtitles in Handbrake, which is what I've been using for my other video conversion projects and...

    What the crap?! Garbage text instead of streaming video...

    So whenever I try to view a streaming web video in Safari, I get this instead: (see pic) Then the app (safari) crashes and boots me back to the home screen. YouTube app, and videos saved to the iPod play just fine, although when I visit youtube from Safari instead of from the dedicated app, I...

    Video Playlist issues?

    Video Playlists -- contents are there, but playlist is not? So I have smartlists set up to rotate through my unwatched TV shows and video podcasts. I set it up "Show" (or album, for the one that's a podcast since it doesn't have a "show" tag) "contains [show name]", "playcount is 0", "limit to...

    Smartlist issues for TV shows

    Method A: Show is [show name] Limit to 1 items selected by least often played Problem: when 2 or more episodes are tied for "least often played" it shows me the latest one, not the earliest like I'd like Method B: Show is [show name] Playcount is [0, 1, 2, etc.] Limit to 1 items selected by...

    Wi-fi connection problems

    So I'm new to the world of wi-fi. Had an iPod Touch for a couple months now, and something I've been noticing...sometimes my iPod will say it's connected to the network, I can see the network and it's got a strong signal and everything, but it just won't connect. Not to the internet, and not...

    iTunes 64-bit?

    So, I just got a new computer recently, turns out it's a 64-bit system. I suppose I should probably get the 64-bit version of iTunes, then, yeah? I only ask because my OS is Windows 7, and the two options are either iTunes for Windows 7 (and XP and Vista) or the 64-bit version that just says...

    Video conversion questions

    So I know my way around the audio side of iPod/iTunes pretty well, but recently I got a Touch and I've just started to put my own videos onto it, and there are a couple things I'd like to know how to do. First, I've got some videos with accompanying subtitles in .idx/.sub format. Is there a...

    Subtitles in converted video?

    Alright so I'm in love with this show, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. I'd buy the DVD if I had a region-2 player, or if they released in the US but alas!, they have not. I got a version from...somewhere...in the form of .avi files, which I can convert to iPod format with Handbrake -- I think I've...

    Smartlists "live updating" doesn't work on iPod touch?

    I've got all my smartlists set up to include the rule "last played -- is not in the last -- 1 days" (or however long, depending on which list it is) so that after I listen to a track it will "fall off" the list and won't get played againfor some time. I have live updating enabled, and the...

    Artwork viewer -- how to turn it back on?

    [Edit: Nevermind, I found it. It's a little button down by the "Shuffle" and "Repeat" buttons in the bottom-left...can I delete my own posts on here?] [Original post]: I've just moved my library over to a brand new computer, and with that comes a fresh install of iTunes. Everything's working...

    SwitchEasy NeoTouch vs RebelTouch

    I'm in the market for a new protective case for my 2nd generation Touch, and I'm currently looking at two models from SwitchEasy, the NeoTouch and the RebelTouch. I'm not a fan of the "ribcage" look that the Rebel has, I much prefer the sleeker look of the Neo. Also I've had brief opportunity...

    View web documents offline?

    Is there any way to save a web page or other document to my iPod Touch and then view it later offline? The document in question (if anyone's interested, it's the Magic: the Gathering comprehensive rules) is available for download in several different formats: .txt, .doc, .rtf and .pdf, and also...
