You can change the metadata formats within iTunes. You highlight the track, tracks, or even entire Library; then Ctl-click (right click) the track(s) and use the "Convert ID3 tags...". > I never ever bought a DRM'ed song, in a lossy compressed audio file > for the > price I could get it on CD (with all the songs from an album or > compilation, > of course). Then where are the "ancient mp3 files with horribly wrong metadata" coming from? Studies confirmed that young people today have listened to so much lossy mp3 that it has become the listening "norm". When asked to choose which "sounds better", they invariably say an mp3 track sounds "better" than a lossless flac track. This means that subjectively, your "taste is different". I think the best argument in favor of mp3 is that it's "not that bad" considering it's such a small file in comparison to lossless formats. In my car, which has a disc player that plays mp3 format, I can squeeze 10 albums on a single 700MB CD. It's sure nice having only one or two CDs in the car rather than 20 or 30. No need to splice my iPhone into the car now, at least not for audio playback. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
