After so many years...

you would think that itunes would have had some improvements, but still, when I import an Opera, one of the disks does not show up under the same label as the others...no matter if I change the labeling the match the others, because it came out wrong the first time. Apple, you have gotten lazy. Success has made you soft. I hope that you do ( Read more... )

Sigh.

First of all, I'm pretty sure iTunes allows you to change any and all ID3 tags before and after the import; most definitely after. I do this all the time. Apple also doesn't moderate the CDDB database, and we all know it's full of errors. What do you mean by 'label'? Which tag are you trying to change that you cannot?

Second of all, I will try very hard not to take your huge, sweeping anti-Apple comments about laziness and software that isn't user-friendly too personally. I know people rant when they're mad and often exaggerate, so I'm not trying to start a huge flame-war over it. I just know that I work my ass off for the company, do a damn good job, and so do most of us there. Continuing to hit home runs with every product, every release, every time is some kind of unrealistic situation we've somehow put ourselves in.

Unfortunately Apple has no control over the CDDB. They could start their own I suppose, but that would be a PITA. You can modify the tags though, for several tracks at a time.

As for the basis for the company no longer existing, you're right. They haven't sold the Apple II in years. ;)

That's what the shift-select "get info" option is for.

I'm more confused why my iTunes can't find the album artwork for albums that are in the iTunes store. But not enough to stop using it, or my ipodes.

i agree with all the above about the "get info" option etc. but i'll also direct you to sonbirdnest.com where my husband works. if you've got time - you should play with songbird. it's not quite "ready" yet but it's starting to have hints of the awesome it will become.
