So I’m trying to get all my songs in iTunes rated so that I can start making even better smart playlists and crap.
I only have 7850 songs left to rate.

You can rate them on your Ipod while playing them too, if that helps. But i’m not sure if that syncs back properly (it should)
My biggest problem is I still have around 150-300 songs that are not labeled properly, if at all. And some of them have ID3 tags in a format that Itunes can’t change so the only way to fix them is to convert to AAC, which means 2 copies of a song, and then I have to find all the stray mp3s….
well, the only iPod I have is an iPod shuffle. So that doesnt’ really help.
the answer to your problem, however, is here:

hmmmm that would be awesome, if only I had a mac 🙂
Dang that’s a lot of songs.
oh, well then go with

yuppers… I have about 10k.
Dang 🙂
Have I mentioned your status as my personal hero? 🙂 I assumed they would only have good functions for a mac, just because typically, that’s where all the good Itunes/mp3 stuff is. Thanks for the link 🙂
Well, I think MusicBrainz actually existed before IEatBrainz.
Someone just decided that there needed to be a program that could tag music by actually listening to it.
Hehe, I haven’t played with it too much yet, but so far it seems awesome. Bout the only thing I am worried about now is I wisely put all the music that wasn’t properly sorted into a folder. About 1/2 those now have proper tags, 1/2 don’t. So I am debating either A)letting Itunes sort my music so that everything that’s not tagged will be seperated out, or B) using this to sort that directory and then basically re-loading my Itunes library.
I would just let iTunes resort the tracks, it does a good job of keeping everything organized and shuold resort things as soon as it sees the Tags change anyway (should being the operative word there).
I’d be willing to bet he bought 95% of them too.
True, I mean, what’s the worst that can happen? I may have to rebuild my library afterwords, but that wouldn’t be too hard if everything is organized 🙂
That’s pretty close to correct. 😉
just be careful when you do so, though. I could lose all your ratings. I rated about 2000 of my tracks and mucked around with my library files and lost all my stars.
hehe, well, part of the reason some of my files are unlabled is that I had ripped a few CDs, then formatted my C drive (I keep the music and other “media” on a seperate drive) and when I re-installed windows, all the labeling was stripped for some reason. Never have figured out why. So yeah, Itunes is quirky and I expect that of it. 🙂
