But for crazy large numbers of mp3s that are really messed up in unpredictable ways.

Here's hoping Leopard takes a step forward and offers better metadata support for all files in the finder.Įvery few months or so, I check various sources like, and to look for something that the mac has been sorely lacking for years.Ī decent id3 tagger for mp3 files. I'm also surprised to see that despite the fact that there are so many finder replacement programs out there, that none of them (that I could find) supported showing and sorting files by ID3 info in their main windows.
Why can't the Mac have this? It would make editing your ID3 tags much easier, since you could easily select just the files that need to be updated without opening them in iTunes. On the Mac you have to choose "Get Info" and start to reveal panels before you see that the Mac supports metadata too, it just can't show it in the main finder windows.

Right now, if you're sitting at a PC with a relatively recent version of windows (lucky you)- you can choose to see artist, album info (and more) right in your file lists. Macworld is coming up and on January 9th, Steve will probably give us another peek at the progress on Leopard and I'm hoping that we'll see finder viewing (and sorting) support for ID3 metadata. No, I'm not dabbling in blog fiction, I'm trying to type while keeping my fingers crossed. Sounds like a bad sci-fi short story, huh. Maybe this happened twice in a row out of luck, but it's worth a try. I left it unplugged for a day or two and voila! It started recharging after I plugged it in and held down the home and sleep keys for ten seconds. So instead of plugging it in to recharge. What if there wasn't enough power to start up the unit, but too much power to have the ipod go into it's special recharging mode. He mentioned that the ipod touch will go into a special mode when the battery is completely drained, so that the unit can be recharged. I was hanging out with a computer wiz friend of mine, discussing my problem. Again, I'd try every key combination I could track down online. Again, I'd leave it plugged in, hoping it would recharge.
Just before I left, I decided to try plugging it in one more time - this time it started recharging! I left the ipod touch unplugged for a couple days and then brought it to work so I could take it down to Tekserve and get a new battery. Eventually, I decided to get a new battery. But then I'd try all those techniques again and they still wouldn't work. I would plug the thing in and it would start to feel a little warm. Once I figured out that it was dead, I'd try the various key combinations to wake it up - holding down the home button and the sleep button at the same time for ten seconds - holding down the home and sleep buttons for ten seconds and then holding down the home button for a minute - holding down the home button and plugging in the usb cable, none of them worked. Leave it alone! I've had problems with my ipod touch battery draining - especially if I leave wifi on. just make clean-up of every strange-behavioured audio file i ever find.Here's a quick tip for those with a ipod touch that won't recharge or turn on. they can show previous artwork and don't let you modify it or they might have no artwork and won't let you add it. PD: there are some files that will not let you paste the artwork. You'll notice the difference between when it's added, because you'll see that itunes stops and shows the sandclock or the color wheel while it embeds the picture into the files.Ī script able to make the copy paste over all the library automatically, with the albums that have the artwork downloaded but not embedded. 1 - if you just prompt itunes to "get album artwork", the artwork is added to the itunes library but not into the files tag.Ģ - If you want this to happen (phisically embed the artwork into the files tag), you have to manually copy the artwork (right click or cmd click over the picture, select copy) then open the files information (select all the album files, ctrl+I or cmd+I) then click on the artwork square and hit paste (ctrl+v or cmd+v)Ģb - the same procedure would apply in case itunes is not able to locate a picture, just use google, locate a picture with fair resolution (400*400 is good) and do the copy paste.
