I am a fuckin idiot i admit.. but i am struggling with the ipod i just bought.. Two probs i am hoping someone can help with: I have loads of mp3s on computer that i made from cd using mediaplayer - cant get itunes to recognise these. Am i doing something wrong, or do you have to make mp3s again using itunes? When i make mp3 from cd in itunes it doesnt add artist or track titles like it does in mediaplayer. Do i really have to type all that shit in myself? I am terrible with computers please somone help me with this!!! thanks. |

In Itunes you can go to the Advanced pull down and select "Get CD track names" but you have to be connected to the internet. I'm not sure about mediaplayer files, I'm ona mac. |

Oh in preferences if you select "connect to internet when needed" it should get those Track names, etc. when the CD is recognized by Itunes. Hope I helped. Once you get it working you'll wonder what you ever did without an Ipod. |

When you do the get cd track names it says CDDM information not available for some of these items.. but they are not obscure records - it didnt work for sex pistols never mind the bollocks, cant get much more famous than that.. |

iTunes is pretty much useless for anything other than updating the songs on your iPod. will rip cds like a pro will encode mp3s for you, and you can get EAC to use it as it rips your cds. will download song names, artist, album name, album art, year, etc and update your tags for you. You can use it to rename and organize the mp3s as well. Then you can just drag your mp3 folders onto your iPod in iTunes. |

Thanks - so why cant i take a folder of mp3s i made in mediaplayer and drop that onto ipod source in itunes? |
||||||||
|

|
|
Also - i assume you have to pay for those useful programmes you mention? |

EAC and LAME are both freeware. Tag&Rename will work with all functions for 30 days. There are... other ways of *buying* it. Why your mediaplayer mp3s don't work in the ipod is beyond me. It may seem like a stupid question, but first of all, are you sure they're mp3s are not wma or anything that's microsoft specific? From what I understand winamp or whatever mp3 player you use will play them just fine so they might be something other than mp3s without you even noticing. I haven't come across an mp3 yet that won't work on my ipod, so... |

I have loads of mp3s on computer that i made from cd using mediaplayer Windows Media Player? This leads me to believe that they aren't mp3's, but actually windows media audio (.WMA). If this is the case, I'm very very sorry for you. |
