Easy batch download for mp3s (betterPropaganda)

Instead of wasting time downloading things by hand, page by page, clicking links generated from javascript, right clicking to save or waiting for each save dialog box, you could be using a download manager to automatically grab certain files from links off of a page. DownThemAll is my choice for Firefox. Let’s say you want...

Get Back Your Sleeping Schedule/Be in Bed on Time

Can’t go to sleep? Want to be in bed earlier, but it’s impossible? I know what it’s like. I can usually stay asleep, but initiating sleep at the right times is a hassle sometimes. Whether for school or work or peace of mind, we all need rest that is compatible with our schedules. It’s common...

Uncheck All Items in iTunes Library

Someone recently contacted me with this question and I figured I’d share it with everyone. They found me from a search from organizing checked items for iTunes. What I am about to show you how to do isn’t very new, but it is a trick that might come in handy in cases that require desperate...

How to Manage Your Digital Music Library

(If you have a short attention span and don’t care much for commentary, skip this paragraph and go straight to the five steps for the online music lover) Years ago, it was harder to find out more detailed information about songs and their writers without searching catalogs, or finding related articles or interviews, or talking...

Upgrade your iPod with Rockbox

ROCKbox is open source firmware that can be dual-booted (at least with my 5th generation iPod) with the original iPod system so you don’t have to erase all your music by overwriting and re-transferring all your things. And it works on many mp3 players, not just Apple. Rockbox for the 5G iPod does not manage...

foobar2000 Review

After test driving several media players, I have tried to customize foobar2K as a replacement of my current music program, iTunes. Although I was initially negative about the raw power of foobar2000, I still decided to give it one more try. Right away I could tell this was not going to be intuitive. I tried...

Comparison of Music Players, iTunes alternatives

In an attempt to give six other applications a try (I’ve been an iTunes user), I wrote up a review comparing several freeware media players with a focus on those that are designed to manage, organize, and use your music collection.

Windows iTunes Scripts Downloads

I’m on a roll with iTunes-related tips lately. To better myself and others, I have made scripts that can edit music file tags, create technical playlists not possible even with Smart Playlists, and other workarounds for missing features and requests. Some work out-of-the-box, and the rest just need you to enter your desired customizations in...

Manage Checked iTems in iTunes

I’ve got an iPod that can’t store all my music, but I still automatically update checked items in my iTunes library (it’s a syncing option). I’ve found a workaround for one of my wishes that Apple probably won’t be adding any time soon. My desire is to sort tracks by check mark box (whether selected...

Half Stars Rating in iTunes

I get a little obsessed with software because I want things to be customized and perfect. I recently came across the iTunes Companion to be used on Konfabulator or Yahoo Widgets. The program is like the dashboard objects on a Mac, except this will also work on Windows. I noticed a slight lag in computer...
