My son gave me an Ipod for my birthday, and I must say it is a really cool product. I also recently started downloading music from emusic. I have put all the emusic files into the Ipod and have also uploaded about 15 GB of music from CD's. The last ones I tried to put in were older Verbatim CDR's. About a dozen of them got stuck in the middle of the uploading process and refused to budge, so I cannot get them into the computer. They play ok on the CD player, so why is this happening? Second question: why are a bunch of the multi movement classical works showing up in the Ipod with the movements in different places? Makes it very hard to listen to complete works from start to finish. Is there a way to reorganize the order of the "songs" in the Ipod playlist? Thanks for any forthcoming help.
Follow Ups:
to change the order of tracks (or name, or anything else) simply right-click on the track and select "get info". you'll get a dialogue box that allows you to customize any way you like.
Thanks, I will try that. Maybe I can consolidate the names of composers. I now have four different Beethovens listed: Beethoven, Beethoven, L. V., Beethoven, Ludwig Van, and Beethoven, Ludwig Van (1770-1827). Different works listed under the different versions of the name of the composer. A little cumbersome. Similar pattern for several other composers. I am not complaining though. Ipod is an amazing product.
i started burning music cd-r's about 10 years ago, a few i've tried to play recently simply won't. i've read this can happen, but only to old CD-R or the cheaper variety ones, like you'd buy at Circuit City. Verbatim is probably included, but i haven't had issues with Verbatim's in my collection.yet! kinda scary, i have over 1,000 older burned cd-r.
congrats on the Ipod, that's a great gift.
Thanks for the response. I figured the problem might be deterioration from age. The offending discs are close to 10 years old. I hope this does not indicate a very limited lifespan of CDR's. I better get as many loaded into the computer as possible before they go bad.
I haven't found too many, but if you do some searching on the 'net there seem to be a lot of stories about this.
One weird thing i'm finding is that burning new copies of old copies is producing incredible sounding cd-r's. I think i read somewhere that the pits & lands eventually round out and then go flat again..so maybe i'm hearing this with the 'new' burns.
