And low and behold no music that I have paid for no videos that I paid for and no music at all that i imported for the “convienence’ says apple. I operate a pc but maybe Feds will step in on this on so we can get our money back!

It seems everytime i create a Playlist it gets assigned the Musical Note icon.
However i’ve beeing creating several Playlist about Movies. Why well…lets say
you have Star Wars I,II,III,IV,V,VI … now its showing as a Music Playlist in iTunes as well as in my Apple TV when it sychronizes….

How i can assigned content specific icons to Playlists? They do exist as i can see Music, Movie, TV Show, etc…as part of the iTunes Library….

Suggestions are appreciated

First, I exported my playlist (iTunes/File/Library/Export Playlist), trashed the iTunes application, iTunes library folders (in User and Music) and downloaded iTunes 8.2 ( http://en.kioskea.net/telecharger/telecharger-241-itunes-for-mac ), installed it, then imported the playlist back in.

Ba-dah-boom.

8.2 may not be as elegant as iTunes 9, but at least it works like it’s supposed to.

Is here a way to transfer these songs to the wish list in iTunes 9? If so, how?
Thanks!

I thought Home Sharing wuold be usesful, but what about an easy way to share music between different users on the SAME computer? I’m new to iTunes so maybe I’m missing something. Please help !

Ever since I installed iTunes 9.0x, I’ve noticed that the RELEASEDATE tag is no longer included asa a tag in the podcast file.

What I used to do:
I keep all podcasts on a separate drive, which means after downloading them (into “My DocumentsMy MusiciTunesPodcasts”), I then move the folders to my other drive, and drag and drop the new folder back into iTunes. Then after deleting the broken links to the original download location, all would be fine, and the podcasts were sorted by release date.

What I have to do now:
Because the RELEASEDATE tag is no longer included in the actual file, when I move he file and re-insert it, iTunes loses this information, as it is now only contained in the iTunes library file.

The options are either:
1. After moving the file, double click on every broken link, and relocate the file, attaching it back to the original entry in the library;
2. Edit the individual podcasts, one by one, with MP3TAG, to insert a RELEASEDATE tag; or
3. Edit the “iTunes Music Library.xml” to point to the new location, delete the “iTunes Library.itl” file and then restart iTunes – which means play count and other info is lost.

None of these options is particularly pleasant when dealing with 10+ podcasts per day.

The easiest thing would be for APPLE to fix the bug, and have the RELEASEDATE tag again included back into the podcast MP3.

Alternatively, does anyone know where I can download the final iTunes 8 build, just before it went to 9?

Like you, I enjoyed having the column browser on iTunes 8, and was shocked iTunes 9 dumped the browser, offering no explanation on how to restore it. I kept saying to myself “why the hell are all these options grayed out!” Thanks for offering an explanation.

It’s now slower than ever, has many functions I just do not want and makes transferring music on to my iPod a tedious, drawn out task worthy of torture chambers.

Utter shite – gimme back 8!!!
