So, is that "get is" or "belonging to, or of, get?"

Get's a nice word.

That's Get's house.

C'est what?

I get annoyed with the way so many people randomly use apostrophes with plurals and words ending in "S," but maybe that's just me....

Seriously, English speakers go through years of education, graduate high school, and still don't have a fewking CLUE about the correct use of apostrophes! Why I outta...

BLAM!

That's better....

kind of....

I installed iTunes for about half an hour, but I am no longer annoyed with it because i use Quod Libet (and formerly foobar2000, when I had Windows.)

Or, for a whole album, you highlight the album title in the browser, click get info, and drag the picture to the artwork square. It will put the picture on all the songs for that album.

YOu don't even have to go into the "Get info" menu. If you highlight a song, and then click on the area you wish to alter (the name, the album, genre, et cetera) you will be able to edit the text that way. Also, you don't have to go into "Get info" to add artwork, you can simply drag it into the box in the bottom left of the screen.

A simpler way of replacing or adding artwork in itunes. Select the songs you want to add artwork for. under the file menu choose "get Info". when the info window opens simply drag the new artwork into the box and click OK. This way you can do whole albums at once rather than one song at a time.

You can also add comments, alter genre descriptions, change groupings, correct spelling errors etc. in all the other information for those songs you have selected.

I've got over 26,000 songs in my itunes library and I use the Get Info menu extensively to keep things organized.

I can't say I've ever used WMA or Foobar or anything else very much, but I can say that I've been using iTunes for a few years now and it's never given ME any sh*t.

E-Dub, you do realize that if you hit the upward arrow in a box (in the bottom left section) then the artwork pops up in the bottom left of the screen? Are you? Well, if you don't have image at the moment, it is blank and says "Drank Album art Here". You can either drag a picture into that box, or you can right click on the song, go to "Get info" click the "Artwork" tab, and add a picture from your photos.

Automatic features like that never work 100%, but when it does, it's a good quality picture. It's really not that difficult to find artwork and add it yourself.

HT, is there a way to load the artwork in yourself through iTunes? I've done some searching and can't find any way to do it.

Cracks me up how they have just about every major Marillion album cover EXCEPT for Misplaced Childhood!

I don't buy music from iTunes, so it doesn't do that automatically for me. But still, I have a fun time looking through the google turnout, and choosing which one I like best.

I've never used iTunes myself but my brother has an iPod and gets nothing but grief from iTunes so it does happen. Tongue

As for Media Player the latest version ('11'/ 'for Vista' depending on your OS) is a very good piece of software it makes organizing my library of mp3s very easy and burning CD copies of downloaded albums really easy too. It also serves as a very good DVD player. Personally I don't see any reason to not use it at the moment.

I have always stayed away from iTunes, though I would like an ipod, itunes messes up and implodes on itself quite often. I'm a Windows media player kinda guy anyways!
