Now I just have to work on getting all my poor-quality music up to good/great quality. Some of my songs are actually under 128 kbps

It's gonna take a ******ed amount of time to make this *$!% all >192.


Also, is the new iTunes worth downloading? Version 9.2?

Yes. I don't even attempt to organize by genre. Many of the artist I listen to, I'm not sure what genre they fit in or could fit in multiple genres.

Like others have said though, I organize mine as I go.

I'm thinking about doing this, but don't know how to start really.

iTunes does allow me to "Convert ID3 Tags" from "None" to "v1.0-v2.4" (select a song then Control+Click on Mac), but I don't know which version to select and I don't want to mess my library up.

My library is as impeccable as it can get (after an absurd amount of time spent organizing it). It just needs the correct metadata for all songs.

If you are going to convert the tag convert them to ID3 Tag v2.3 because not every media player can read v2.4. It won't change the metadata.
Once I converted my library to v2.4 and WMP 12 couldn't read the metadata.
I didn't really care until I went to listen to my music on my Xbox 360. All my songs were in an "Unknown" Album

When you import the song into another media player all the info will already be there when you have an ID3 Tag.

If a song doesn't play after converting download mp3val and scan your whole iTunes library and let the program fix any songs that have errors. The song will work after it is fixed.

Someday, when I have time, I will organize my iTunes.

Mine isn't that bad.  However, I do have some unknown albums and some artist are mismatched due to uploading burned cd's (

I'll just PS some quick artwork for it. Or
a) use a picture of the artist
b) wait until the single artwork releases

Did you make sure to download the correct version? The one linked was the one for Macs so if you're using windows you have to click the link near the bottom of the entry. It looks

This thread is super informative just like the last one was.
