Adding artwork to multiple songs in iTunes 10

Sep 17th 2010 2:53PM (TUAW.com)
When you drag artwork to the Drag Artwork Here box iTunes merely copies the image into an album artwork folder and associates it with the album.

When you drag artwork into the inspector it actually writes the artwork into the individual mp3 or aac files, so it appears with each track.

iTunes 101: How to set up Ping

I know they are talking about the 'music I like part', doofus.

When you manually select music you like - when you search for it - the results you get are from the iTunes store - NOT from your library.

I searched for music I have in my library which I know is not in the store, and of course it can't find anything. I search for an album I don't even own, and it finds it - on the store. I can add anything to 'music I like' as long as it is available on the store.

The Beatles are the classic example. Try adding one of their albums and even if you have on in your library, all you get are a bunch of tribute albums.

Try thinking before you type next time.

What do you mean I didn't read it correctly?

It says "From there you can add anything from your library and remove what's unwanted." How could I read that incorrectly? It says you can add anything from your library. You cant. Therefore it's wrong.

"From there you can add anything from your library..."

Actually that's incorrect; you can add anything from the iTunes Store. You can't add anything at all from your own library.

How would you change Snow Leopard?

There's one thing I think OS X could do automatically. My MacBook has a Scandinavian keyboard, but my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard has a US English one. To switch between input character sets, I have to change it manually from the toolbar every time I switch from MacBook to keyboard. Surely, OS X should be able to detect when I'm using the laptop and when I'm using the bluetooth keyboard, and automatically switch.

Weather Widget with time, updated for Snow Leopard

Is there any way to change the source of the weather data? Apple changed to using Yahoo, which doesn't recognise my home town, the capital city of Lapland, Rovaniemi. Whatever they used before always used to work.

Dark Void scored by Battlestar Galactica's Bear McCreary

If it is commonly used that way, it's commonly wrongly used. Gauis Baltar can be ousted from the Galactica and extradited to the Cylon baseship. But Adama can't oust him to create a Cylon detector.

Adama could coax him, perhaps...

But anyway, all this has happened before.

While we're on the subject of grammar - I don't think 'ousted' is the word you want. It means 'to expel'.

Win a copy of Things for Mac and iPhone

I use Mail and iCal. Crap, I know... But the rest of it gets split between yellow sticky notes both on and off the Mac, and my Moleskine notebook. Now I have an iPhone I wanted to check out Things... so we'll see...
