Regarding iTunes itself, one of my biggest frustrations is that it is impossible to refresh the library if music files are moved or re-tagged using other programs. Has anyone found a good workaround other than deleting the library contents and starting again?

I did start a project to download 256k replacements for my lower bitrate files and got several thousand tracks but I ran out of steam a few months ago. I've got around 70000 tracks so I find the 25000 limit annoying. This especially as Amazon do a cloud service for a similar price but allow 250000 matches. The only thing is, the Amazon service isn't accessible to Jaws users. The Apple radio service isn't coming to the UK until next year so I can't comment on it. For £25 a year the iTunes Match service is still worth it though. I use Windows and only have one IOS device that being my iPhone.

I use it here all the time and have found it very useful and not just for syncing my music library between 5 computers and 3 IOS devices. Some time ago I was sampling some LP records, I scanned the covers and entered the track names into iTunes, Itunes match then provided me with 256 AAC+ versions of the songs i'd sampled, thought that was rather neat and just showed me that I'd wasted hours of time given that the AAC+ versions were far better quality than anything I could have done <smile>. You can use iTunes Match with iTunes Radio, this service is very similar to spotify in the way it works. The basic iTunes Radio is supported by advertising and is free but if you subscribe to iTunes match the advertising goes away and you can search/play to your hearts content and purchase where appropriate, if you think your Match subscription is enough then just search for what you want and add it to a playlist for playing at your leisure. ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
