How do I figure out my iTunes URL?
Category:
Computer and Internet Basics
My name is Daniel Sadownick and I am a jazz artist whose CD "There Will Be A Day" is now up on iTunes as well as other online retailers. I just joined an Indie marketing website where they can promote my record. They provide links that point directly to all of the sites where my CD is up at (i.e., Amazon, CD Baby, etc.). Now, these sites have concrete URL's and yet my promotion site also asks for my iTunes URL. I have had no luck in finding that out and I'm hoping that you can help me. The Answer: How do I figure out my iTunes URL?

Is there an equalizer in iTunes?
Category:
Mac OS X Help
I remember that there used to be a cool equalizer feature in iTunes that let me compensate for my rather treble-heavy headphones by boosting the bass on my songs. I looked on the Controls menu, however, and it's gone. Is it really gone or have they hidden it? The Answer: Is there an equalizer in iTunes?

Can iTunes just play music I've never heard before?
Category:
Mac OS X Help
I have a pretty large music collection that I've poured into Apple's iTunes program and am wondering if there's a way that I can tell it to only play that subset of my music that I haven't heard before? Do you know what I mean? I know it keeps track of how many times I've played a song, so it seems theoretically possible. How do I get iTunes to do this, Dave?

Dave, I'm confused. I'm trying to make a music CD with my Mac, but when I just transfer the songs from iTunes onto a disk they don't work in my car or regular cd player. Someone told me that I need to convert them in order for it to work. They gave me the site musicmatch.com but it is for PC and I'm on a Mac.

Add CD track info in Apple iTunes?
Category:
Mac OS X Help
I don't know how it works, but most of the time when I insert a music CD and go to rip it into my iTunes library, all the track information is present. I always figured it's something encoded on the disc itself, but maybe I'm wrong. I recently went to import a new music CD in iTunes and it had zero track info. Is that something I can fix?
