they arent idiots, they're just lazy and dont love their stolen music like i do
and dont understand how to change that sorta stuff
mustaqila
It has better library management, as in it will show the tags and such nicer, it can o an array or extra things, it's clean and simple and works
But eitherway, if you don't want to use iTunes, then it's fine by me :P
em-pathy
no no its cool
i want you to show and convince me its better
i am a tweak/upgrade/mod freak
i have no life and just dress up and change my computer around
i guess you do have a point
itunes does have the columns for the song details laid out nicely
old school playist --> media library --> then itunes
mustaqila
It showed up the errors with my crrent tags, on how some were incorrect, missing, it has ID3v2.4 support, unlike WinAmp, it's easier to naviaget my library/playlist and to various other things
em-pathy
oh so it fixes those fucked mp3 headers that show your song length and bitrate incorrectly?
yllona
em-pathy to turn off/on itunes features use the preferences (or whatever tehy're called in winderz "properties" i think)
mustaqila
Not quite what I meant, once I imported everything, I found columns where gaps/crap was present where I thought it was fine
em-pathy
ahhh
mustaqila
It's Preferences yllona ;)
yllona
mustaqila thanx
em-pathy
im not a newb
it just seems counterproductive to download itunes then disable a lot of what it does
but i appreciate the suggestion though :)
^directed at yllona
yllona
the only feature that you seem to want to turn off is the folder organization
mustaqila
The consolidate library thing, and you don't turn it on to start with, to activate it you have to select it nd that's it
So simply don't select it from the menu :P
em-pathy
interesting
remind me to harass my friends about that
"you make it harder to leech your shit with your settings from hell"
mustaqila
It makes it easier
If it's all orgnaised it's easier to find stuff :P
em-pathy
it might be differant on mac
but windows does not like it when you have 8000+ mp3s
mustaqila
I'm on Windows
em-pathy
and the individual ones are in seperate folders
mustaqila
I have 12000
em-pathy
thats a fragmented harddrive for sure
12000? nicely done!
mustaqila
It orders it by Artist > Album > Track Number Title.mp3
I defragment every now and then heh
em-pathy
sick, i just got winamp working
still, sounds like i should get itunes just for my tagging
itll be good for individual files
musicbrainz for the albums
mustaqila
Musicbrainz for everything :P
iTunes doesn't auto tag stuff, but unlike WinAmp it has some masstagging capabilities, and just shows up flaws
em-pathy
nah itd be too slow when it cant identify songs and i have to go through and find the artist etc etc etc
i know most of the info off the top of my head already so i could just enter it in quickly in itunes
and like you said, see where info is missing or wrong
mustaqila
Fair do's, personally I rarely download individual mp3s, I download an entire album at a time
em-pathy
although winamp sorta does that now that ive tinkered
hahaha
thats the age we're in dude
i wish i could get individual mp3s
all the P2P programs are fucked now
its just easier to get the album torrent
mustaqila
Same here, I just torrent away
em-pathy
plus the quality is almost always "flawless sounding"
mustaqila
Like just now, I downloaded an entire album for one track heh
em-pathy
and that album and track was?
mustaqila
I shan't say, it's embarrassingly womanly, and I'm meant to be a metalhead :P
em-pathy
just fucking DO IT!
im into metal
i spent over $150 to see Tori Amos in another state
we're both a marriage of opposites
now please satisfy my curiosity
mustaqila
Faith Hill - Fireflies - Like We Never Loved at all (feat Tim McGraw), that's the track and album heheh...
mustaqila chuckles nervously
em-pathy
im only familiar with the name, i cant think of her music off the top of my head
mustaqila
Countryish heh
em-pathy
thats all good
_thom_ joined the channel
funny you should say that
the album i tried to tag and had problems with that led to me coming here,
Ani DiFranco - Evolve
mustaqila
Never heard of her, ever
em-pathy
well its not just girly music
its lesbian-esque man-hating-dyke sorta music
tru
she's progg.
mustaqila
"Angst"
@o Prog
em-pathy
even more inappropriate for the aspiring metal enthusiast
mustaqila
Prog rock/prog metal = :D
yllona
mustaqila: she's the very first indie girl rock, going *way* back
