Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

ITUNES:

Well, Apple has done it again.
I'd been reluctant to download the latest version but was forced into it when the wife bought me an iPhone.
Now?
4 or so versions ago, you could go and look up online Radio Stations. that went away
Then, as I added albums, I would copy them as a Lossless file, (ALAC) and make a copy as an MP3-160 each of which went into their OWN playlist. MP3 for the 'Pod and Lossless for the house. It worked and was NOT cumbersome to keep track of.

NOW? Under view, I have to dig around for albums AND each album is now listed as having 2x of each tune, but I can't tell the ALAC from the MP3. NO Bitrate or other ID information attached.

The iTunes player seems bound and determined to force you to shop. as someone who wants to manage my music, and MY music from CD, How do I get around the shopping experience?

Is there a player which will work with my iPhone AND allow me to transfer my music to files I cna manage?

The latest version of iTunes is the LAST for me. I should have quit while I was ahead.


AN HOUR LATER:
I solved one of my problems. Sort of. While going thru a bunch of options, I found 'ALBUMS' listed. I went thru the list and found what is missing from my 2 main playlists. And each song was listed TWICE. Right clicking on a specific tune brings up a box with MORE choices, one of which is DATA. Bitrte is buried In THAT box.
Now, if I could only figure out WHY these songs never made it to the playlist! I know they were there before.
I'm checking my iPod which hasn't been UpDated in probably 18 months.
Too much is never enough
