I was on my buddy's laptop this morning before class and I decided to listen to some music. I opened up his iTunes and was horrified at what I saw. Many of his songs had no artist listed just the names of the songs, unknown album after unknown album, absolutely NO album cover art and even some songs weren't named properly. It drove me crazy. I have every song in my library named properly with the correct artist and album. ALL of my albums have the correct cover art and I even make sure each song is in the correct category (Rock, Metal, etc.) Do you care what your iTunes looks like or do you just want music? |

I do care about what my itunes looks like, I have all my music sorted correctly but If your friend bought from itunes then it wouldn't be messy and he would have all cover art. He could download the TuneUp companion, you get a 100-song cleanup/50 artwork trial. |
|
I did use it for about a month but since my processor's are slow it took time to open, but i did not care as i know what name's i have saved it with, but i do like it to look clean as you mention. |
|
I don't use iTunes as much, but my Ubuntu music player is sorted.... I hate when even regular files like movies, games and software installers isn't organized. |
|
Every single song in my iTunes library has a album cover and has all of the information filled in correctly. i can't stand when I am on someone else's computer helping them with something in iTunes and all of the songs are completely disorganized with information missing. |
|
I love for all my things to be correctly organized and I am obsessed with album covers . When I was 13 I had deleted everything out my library and went to the iTunes store and started buy all my music so they all would have the Album covers and all the details had to be listed. |
|
I have 100,000+ songs and organization has been tough since I've had a lot of them since back in the days of Napster and AudioGalaxy. Everything is different formats as the preferred types have changed... WMA, MP3, OGG, and FLAC. I've basically converted everything to .mp3 and got all of the album art for everything but it can be quite a task. |

I am an anal-annie when it comes to organizing my music. I had my own way of doing it when I used Windows, and when I switched to the Mac, I had to do a shift in thinking as to how to keep them organized with ID3 tagging, as all of my CD collection is backed up on the Mac at 320Kbps, most of it being done in Audio Grabber (Win. only). Now, when I download/purchase music from iTunes, it comes in AAC-M4A format...and I want to convert it to MP3 using Switch File Converter. Switch, likes to screw with the existing ID3 tagging, and so when I have freshly converted files, and try to put them "back" into iTunes, iTunes won't accept it because the ID3 tagging isn't right, now. I have to put the files on a jump drive, put them into Windows, highlight all tunes in the album, right-click/Properties/Advanced and actually enter "Artist" and "Album Name" data. Wish I didn't have to go through these hoops, and wish the people at NCH Software (that makes Switch) would address this issue. If I have even ONE file that's labeled "Unknown Artist"...it drives me up the wall! |

I use Grooveshark, so it's all taken care of for me. |
|
I had organized my Itunes and WMP when I used them before, it is not only about the looking, sorting the library makes it easier to find the music specially if you have a lot of media files. |
Sounds like he steals his music.
That's what it sounded like to me too, until he showed me his cd collection. He has a ton of cd's that he put on his computer when he first got it. He just never hassled with the cover art etc.
