Questions About i-tunes

LacusClyne · #1 22nd November 2006, 01:48 PM

I got some questions about ipod, can anyone help me?

i understood that you had to download songs from i-tunes to be able to add to your ipod. But, how fast is i-tunes updated?

take ayu or kuu songs for example, how fast will they have the new release songs? how long after the single or album is out?

Secondly, can you choose the songs from the library to be your ipod or will all songs be automatic be in the ipod?
If we are able to choose the songs, does the library has limited space?

I don't have an iPod but I can answer most of your questions.

New releases by Ayu or any big J star will for sure be added on the day of release to iTunes, at least the Japanese version of iTunes. That means for example that Secret should be added around midnight, right when it turns the 29th, which would make you able to grab it from the Japanese iTunes before you can get it from a normal store.

If you want all your songs to be added to your iPod automatically, or if you want to drag and drop manually which songs you want on it is all up to you, check through the preferences options in iTunes and you can set it up just the way you like it.

The library has as much space as you have on your hard desks. The library is only limited by how many songs you can fit on your computer.

An answer to your second question, the library is as big as you want as long as your HD can fit it. You can either choose songs you want to be in your iPod or have all songs to be put to your iPod. To choose songs for your iPod you can do in two way. First, when you plug your iPod, your iTunes will display your iPod informations and other stuffs on "Summary" tab. Check "Manually manage music" or something else. And then on your left navigation bar, you can see an arrow on the left of your iPod icon (the one that looks like Play button). Click it and it will show its submenu which includes "Music" "Movies" "TV Shows" "Audiobooks" "90's Music" "Music Videos" "My Top Rated" and there rest of your playlist. Now all you have to do is dragging all music you want to "Music" submenu playlist.

The second way, you have to have a playlist which includes all songs you want for your iPod. Then, on your iPod menu (where it says "Summary" "Music" "Movies" and such) click on "Music".
Under "Sync Music", choose "Selected Playlist" and check the playlist that you have just made for your iPod.

so if it's a 1GB ipod, my library can hold up to that amount only.

and i also can't add those lives mp3(like ayu's At06 mp3) in right?

No, like immel said, your library can be as big as the hard drive on your computer. Your iPod doesn't necessarily have all the music your library does. You don't have to buy songs to have them on your iPod either (in short, YES, you can add the AT2006 mp3s.)

Go to File -> Add File to Library (Ctrl+O) and find the mp3...if you want to edit the tags after it's been added to your library, right-click on the song and click "Get Info" and go to the Info tags, and that's where you can edit the tags. Good luck! My iPod is my best friend.

but there's still the charginng battery ptoblem.

i can only charge it through my computer right?

immel · #7 23rd November 2006, 09:43 AM

If you don't buy a special charger that you can connect to them things in your walls (forgot the word), yeah, charging through the computer is your only option.

chocopockymaster · #8 23rd November 2006, 12:45 PM

Yeah, the charger costs about $25 US. But it's a good investment if you plan on traveling...that way you don't have to cart your laptop around with you everywhere.

my sister just bought an ipod nano, but after adding songs to the new playlist, how do she add those songs to her ipod? there don't seem to be any icon or link to click.....

chocopockymaster · #11 7th December 2006, 07:29 PM

^ They should be added automatically if her iPod is hooked up to the computer.

Hmm..ya...i plug in the USB cable in the wrong place...

But any idea how to delete song? or delete playlist? they added in songs that i don't want...

^ If you want to delete songs from your iPod, just plug it into your computer, select the songs you don't want, right click, and there should be a "DELETE" option.
