I-Pods and I-Tunes

[falafel]

There're quite a few bars in Leeds where the bar staff have their ipods hooked up to the sound system - that MiPod thing sounds like a smashing idea, though.

When there's nothing left of it, can we start on your kidneys?

sorry, tried to find the mega-big "how to use" thread please don't ostrich-size me;

could someone give me an indication of how to call up the CD look-up database in iTunes (gracenotes is it?) to apply song titles/tags after the CD has been ripped and the files are safely stored away on harddisc.  maybe the cd has been given back to the library?  or maybe the Internet wasn't around when the disc was ripped.

so in summary> automatic cd info from the internet with files on computer.

thanks.

Use an MP3 tagging programme like Music Brainz or Tag&Rename.

Iove my iRiver, though. Granted you need to learn the controls - they certainly aren't anywhere near as intuitive as the iPod - but once you have it's a piece of piss and a joy to use. And it doesn't cost any less, as far as I know. When I bought it the RRP was identical to the comparable iPod. I bought it because I thought it was better, and I'm happy that I did.  It's all well and good going on about 'bunging a tape ina walkman blah blah blah', but that's not what I'm after. I get pissed off at bad sound quality. I don't like mp3.  I don't, actually, like iTunes very much

I'm going to spend money on either an iPod nano or this machine you're talking about. Could you elaborate a little on the sound quality issue.... I have a fairly poor understanding of music as computer files. The machine would be mostly for listening to the dozens of mixes I download each week from the net  - can I do that, and if they're are already recorded in a certain way then is the sound quality out of my hands?

Don't you just select the album in the browser in iTunes and choose 'Get CD track names' from the 'Advanced' menu?  (Assuming that it recognises it as part of an album, which I think it does).
