Re: [slim] Itunes Problem

Hmm, more confusing! I have updated to the latest everything! Some of
the albums (my obscure ones) don't get found on amazon when using
ctrl+L in MM, so I looked for alternative ways. I have found if I go to
http://albumart.org and search for them I can paste them into the album
art box in the left pane of MM. However, if I try to do this on an
album basis it doesn't work and doesn't add the album art info to the
tag. I have to go through each song and THEN I have to go and set the
album art as "front cover" or whatever IN EACH SONG before it works.
Then I get things mostly right but scrolling through the albums shows
the wrong album cover until it comes into focus. This is bizarre and
driving me nuts!!!
Stay happy,
Noodles

Following up on this, I now have some problems with the album art for
the music I put onto my iphone. Is there an easy way to fix this? I
seem to have the "album art" of one of the podcasts I downloaded
showing as the art for almost everything!
Stay happy,

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that option.  If you can live with the
transcoding time when you're syncing to your iPod then that's your best
bet.

Glad you got it sorted!

Thanks so much for this moley6knipe. I searched around and found, from
what you had said, that Media Monkey allows me to sync what I want and
transcode on the fly so I don't need to keep 2 copies. Brilliant.
Thanks again.
Stay happy,
Noodles

iTunes won't do anything with FLAC.

You need to convert the files to something iPhone can read.  May I
suggest converting them to mp3?  Using the LAME encoder set to V2
(190kbps VBR) sounds plenty good to me on an iPod

Plenty software for converting out there eg www.dbpoweramp.com.  Free
trial, great piece of kit!

[slim] Itunes Problem

2008-12-24 Thread NoodlesSmash

Hi all.
Sorry if this is a dopey question but I couldn't seem to find an answer
anywhere else. I just got an iphone and want to put some of my music
onto it. My music files are all in flac format so I am guessing this is
why I am having problems. Is there an easy way to select which files I
want to sync to my iphone and then allow itunes to convert them without
screwing up my nicely organised collection I use on my Squeezebox?
Again sorry if it is dumb or the answer is elsewhere.
Stay happy,
Noodles
