guys, the thing is, there's ISRC codes which are embedded into every commercially released audio file, CD or download. This is how those of us who live on our royalties get paid. these ISRC codes get read by every dreaming service and all that. but when you strip those out, we're screwed. So

John and Kevin, Yes, a Google search did not bring up any specific app. Lots of discussion on CDDB. Seems like an automated app or program, reading a list of audio files, and running a virtual comparison using a Shazzam process could be a real opportunity. Dave Carlson Engineer, Pioneer, Farfar

I’m not Kevin, but I agree with him. The only thing I can think of is having to do it one track at a time with Shazam or a similar application and do it the old fashion way. Maybe, there is a third party app that can do it more efficiently, so I would recommend consulting the Oracle or, bette

Dave, great to see you again. I think the standing assumption is that VO remains depressed during the entire experience or that the VO keys are locked with semicolon. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 17, 2019, at 6:40 PM, Dave Carlson wrote: > > Leo, > I found a mistake in your instructions. When

Leo, I found a mistake in your instructions. When you want to add another to the selection, it’s VO+Command+Return. Not simply Command+Return. Dave Carlson Engineer, Pioneer, Farfar, Woodworker, Musician, and Oregonian -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visi

Okay. I'm an even bigger idiot. I now see and understand Leo's message and all works perfectly now. I approached this thread from the wrong direction. Long story. while I'm at it, is there a new method for dragging and dropping items in something like iTunes or reordering mailboxes in Mail

Hi, What you read on Apple Vids was the original method. Manipulating cursor tracking is no longer necessary. Leo's instructions are spot on. I'll emphasize though that you need to use VO navigation, not arrow navigation, after selecting the first item otherwise the selection will be lost.
