Vanderbilt IEEE / ACMlogin/register

So - iTunes has some problems. If you follow along, I will show you a few nifty tricks/programs to do these things:

1 - get lyrics to almost every song you have on your ipod and in your itunes
2 - do the same for album art work
3 - remove those pesky (!) missing files from itunes
4 - find/add the files that you didnt know you had
5 - fix all the tags - remove those www.musicblah.blah.whatever links

There are a few things that I can’t do yet - so hopefully more soon. Here is what I can’t do for you:

1 - delete duplicates easily aka not one by one
2 - do ALL the work for you. You still have to put in fifteen minutes. I did all this, and I still have about 100 problem tracks. I will fix them one by one, because I am that guy. Most people probably don’t care. The point is, this stuff does 95% of the work, you still have to help it that 5% along.
3 - i am sure there is another one

So - I did a few simple things to my itunes, mainly:

1 - fix all the ID3 tags (a LOT better than itunes automatic service can)
2 - remove the bad stuff (missing files, ect)
3 - get the lyrics
4 - get the artwork
5 - sync!

Go register your laptop. If it gets lost and someone is nice enough to turn it in, or its found all broken up - vandy police will get it back to you (or metro will get it to them)

good reason to do this - even if its found smashed your warranty is validddd

So it looks like we are finally hitting the top results if someone searches google with ‘vandy ieee’, ‘vandy acm’, ect. Yahoo is still a little behind, not quite sure how to fix that one… It seems to get confused if you throw the full ‘vanderbilt’ in there, but hey whatev’s i am pretty happy with google.
