#musicbrainz

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

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

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

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

oh so it fixes those fucked mp3 headers that show your song length and bitrate incorrectly?

em-pathy to turn off/on itunes features use the preferences (or whatever tehy're called in winderz "properties" i think)

Not quite what I meant, once I imported everything, I found columns where gaps/crap was present where I thought it was fine

ahhh

It's Preferences yllona ;)

mustaqila thanx

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

the only feature that you seem to want to turn off is the folder organization

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

interesting

remind me to harass my friends about that

"you make it harder to leech your shit with your settings from hell"

It makes it easier

If it's all orgnaised it's easier to find stuff :P

it might be differant on mac

but windows does not like it when you have 8000+ mp3s

I'm on Windows

and the individual ones are in seperate folders

I have 12000

thats a fragmented harddrive for sure

12000? nicely done!

It orders it by Artist > Album > Track Number Title.mp3

I defragment every now and then heh

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

Musicbrainz for everything :P

iTunes doesn't auto tag stuff, but unlike WinAmp it has some masstagging capabilities, and just shows up flaws

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

Fair do's, personally I rarely download individual mp3s, I download an entire album at a time

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

Same here, I just torrent away

plus the quality is almost always "flawless sounding"

Like just now, I downloaded an entire album for one track heh

and that album and track was?

I shan't say, it's embarrassingly womanly, and I'm meant to be a metalhead :P

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

Faith Hill - Fireflies - Like We Never Loved at all (feat Tim McGraw), that's the track and album heheh...

im only familiar with the name, i cant think of her music off the top of my head

Countryish heh

thats all good

funny you should say that

the album i tried to tag and had problems with that led to me coming here,

Ani DiFranco - Evolve

Never heard of her, ever

well its not just girly music

its lesbian-esque man-hating-dyke sorta music

she's progg.

"Angst"

@o Prog

even more inappropriate for the aspiring metal enthusiast

Prog rock/prog metal = :D

mustaqila: she's the very first indie girl rock, going *way* back

Indie...meeh

yeah exactly

perhaps not so much lesbian or man hating

http://www.last.fm/user/mustaqila/ <- Faith hill and Shania Twain look really out of place on my charts there...

but indie and angsty

which is pretty much the same thing

Nah, that's emo and angst

mustaqila: ani di franco was indie before it became a buzz word. as in she refused the major labels in favir of artistic control

*favor

Ah, one of those people :P

yeah, she kind of invented angry girl rock, w/ patty smith and chrissy hynde

tori amos is on a major lable and "battled" for artistic control

i think tori could beat ani in a fight

nope.

uma meet oprah. oprah, uma.

I never got too into that whole scene

me either

good to see Lacuna Coil in there mustaqila

Lacuna Coil isn't that fantastic heh

oh yeah dont get me wrong

just caught my eye

the guy in that band craps me the fuck up

you know Senzafine?

*cracks

Nope :\

if you like any LC i highly recommend that song

Ah, I thought you were referring to a band of that name hehe

*Heh

ahhhh

so you know the song?

Nope :P

dawww

well even though musicbrainz prooved to not be as powerful a tagging program as i had hope

you pushed me to explore more within winamp and get the same result

so thank you for your early morning help :)

No prob :P
