How to fix up your itunes

15 04 2008

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!

IEEE/ACM Spring 2008 Picnic

2 04 2008

Hey everyone!

Don’t forget that the IEEE/ACM Spring Picnic will be Thursday, April 10. We will need people there from about 10 through 2:30. Most of all, however, we’ll need as many people as possible from 12:15 to 1:10 for the lunch rush - and no one has class then, so everyone should be able to help! The plan is to be providing food from 10:50 to 2.

Hope to see everyone there!
