		<description><![CDATA[This might seem like a no-brainer, but Apple allows 5 computers to have access to your paid-for library. So this can apply to your home desktop, laptop, your old clunker you left at your parents, office PC, and maybe a computer or 2 you use when you are at a friend&#8217;s house. That last bit is where iTunes grants some flexibility. It doesn&#8217;t know who your friends are. You might have some legal ownership to the computer, and even if you don&#8217;t- you still use it and have a right to listen to your library locally when using somebody else&#8217;s computer. It&#8217;s similar to the circle of friends features (My 5) that cell-phone services offer. Being able to pool music from your friends and have your friends pool your iTunes purchases is a nice way to stay within the bounds of iTunes DRM.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[KEXP delivers for all a wonderful podcast for the Song of the Day with links to all the previous days in case you missed the download. These are normal mp3s that can be automatically setup for itunes or viewed in Firefox for manual saving. A few days ago I found this and was pleasantly relieved to find a few things for my taste- a track from Sonic Youth&#8217;s Thurston Moore, a great rocking instrumental from Pelican, and some other great ones that I unfortunately already had most of (but you may not) from when I was internetting on O.C.D. download binges. There are no ads or weird podcasty hazards other than plugging in the xml file linked above and downloading. Obviously it requires a connection to download and some space to download it, but you&#8217;re bound to have it if you can view this page. Setting up through iTunes is just as easy as viewing the render in Firefox&#8230; just find &#8220;Advanced&#8221; in the menu, then &#8220;Subscribe to Podcast&#8221; and paste the link in there. Edit: I don&#8217;t believe I spelled &#8220;music&#8221; wrong in the title (Nusic). I&#8217;ll leave it there for completeness and to document my mistake. Firefox spell [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a sucker for old music. It can be folk. It can be blues. It can be gospel. I&#8217;m not too picky, although I can get tired of Billy Murry, acoustic era skits, and unoriginal popular oldies. WFMU is a diverse radio station that also delivers free podcasts through the internet. Mp3s are available for I think two weeks (it&#8217;ll automatically download if set in iTunes [Insert into iTunes from menu: Advanced>Subscribe to Podcast]) Most shows are streamable with Real after two weeks. Here&#8217;s a list of some of the programs that offer some older variety of music (some include a mix of new music as well). Sinner&#8217;s Crossroads with Kevin Nutt Page + Podcast &#8220;Scratchy vanity 45s, pilfered field recordings, muddy off-the-radio sounds, homemade congregational tapes and vintage commercial gospel throw-downs.&#8221; Get your gospel fix here from all sides of America. The Christian infomercials are just hilarious. Antique Phonograph Music Program Page + Podcast &#8220;Pop, standard, and ethnic music acoustically recorded on discs and cylinders and played on period machines circa 1895-1925.&#8221; Hear just about every accent and plenty of ancient sounding audio from sketches to acoustic era music. Thomas Edison&#8217;s Attic Page + Podcast &#8220;The audio curator at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Forgive my use of the words &#8220;power users.&#8221; I don&#8217;t write exclusively for the advanced. I tend to write simplistically even when the task is a bit in-depth. This one is actually pretty easy (but explaining the default sorting abilities is a nightmare). I&#8217;m using 7.0.2 I believe, so if you are the type who grabs the bleeding edge (and often bug ridden and little-tested) updates then your newer version might not be exactly as I describe it. Most should apply though. Skipping Articles of Speech &#038; More (The, An, DJ) Want to order your artist by skipping over common beginning titles like DJ, tHe, Mr., or language specific prefixes? Advanced Global Artist Sorting is possible in Windows by navigating Windows Explorer to [Drive Letter]:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\en.lproj\Localizable.strings. Open this with a plain text editor like Notepad or your preferred editor [but not Microsoft Word]. Line 570 has a line that says &#8220;Reordered Artist Strings.&#8221; You can jump to this by searching for this using the Find feature to go to Reordered Artist Strings. Below your search there should be some code like the one below except it contains variations on THE. The code shown will bypass names starting with DJ, so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone recently contacted me with this question and I figured I&#8217;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&#8217;t very new, but it is a trick that might come in handy in cases that require desperate measures. Use with extreme caution. Practice this in a small playlist that isn&#8217;t mixed with checked and unchecked tracks. If you hold [Control/Command] and click on the checkbox next to any track, it will change all files to the opposite check mark. And for real novices that don&#8217;t know how to edit more than one track at a time, but don&#8217;t want every single file, you can select multiple tracks in sequence using shift or you can highlight other tracks using CTRL/CMD (but not on the check box itself).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As described at the end of my guide to online music, here&#8217;s are some playlists that will give you the power tools to organize your music better like a power user. Smart Playlists Top 100 Played Limit to 100 items selected by most often played I listen to post rock and instrumental stuff while sleeping sometimes, so I exclude those playlists, streams, and spoken word. Sometimes podcasts and other unwanted things crawl into the list if they have a high play count, so setting a time range (1:05 to 20:00) ensures short intros and lengthy podcasts/concerts/interviews are not used. Decades/Era Year is in the range 1960-1970 (any years) If I&#8217;m not mistaken, iTunes sets up a playlists of 90s music. You can do the same thing for any dates. No Rating Rating is 0 stars Get to work on rating your songs. You could use something like 1=delete/terrible, 2=repair/poor, 3=acceptable, 4=good, 5=amazing. Then you can make more personal playlists of higher rated songs. Blank Genre Genre is [blank] If you care to organize by genre or just want things complete then fill these in with your desired genre. Some people like to have specific genres (blues-rock, indie, jangle pop) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(If you have a short attention span and don&#8217;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 with a musicologist. Modern times have expanded the capabilities of learning, sorting, and refining what interests us all on a personal basis. On the other hand, digital music and digital management lacks the secondary qualities of a physical library. You have nothing to “hold” &#8230;and your mouse doesn&#8217;t count. Music loses the entity it had 50 years ago when you had something to look at and call your own. Now everyone basically has their own radio station right at their fingertips. Today, radio no longer has the powerful position as it did long ago because it has been transferred directly to the person. Just like listening radio, you never worry about rewinding a tape or scrambling through a basement of records to hear the next song. It just plays (until you say otherwise). You are the DJ. And here is how to use your tools [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;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 videos, podcasts, and lacks a few minor things that Apple firmware has. However, there is much to get excited about with Rockbox: it comes with plenty of games, themes, even a gameboy emulator if you have roms. It supports ogg vorbis, flac, and other uncommon codecs in addition to the usual mp3, m4a, etc. There are extra themes and much to explore. It took a little while to get familiar with the controls and to understand how things worked. Unlike linux, it was very easy to get things installed. I didn&#8217;t have to use any command line or input advanced parameters to get anything to work right away. Installation is the easy part. If you learn quick, you may not need any help afterwards. I&#8217;d suggest that everyone else look at the manual. The buttons and menu structures are handled differently than the default iPod [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 to do things the right way by reading the wiki and registering at their forums. I could not make any forum posts until 5 days after signing up. Another thing was how difficult it was to find every configuration file, associated fonts, and the updated plugins that went along with it. It&#8217;s supposedly against the EULA to bundle a complete configuration. This makes it beyond a chore to make things the way I want them to be. I was able to get a config to work 80. I didn&#8217;t have all the fonts and 4 out of 20 .dll files were not to be found easily on the web. Some were outdated, links were broken, and the rest were hiding in corners. As much as I like being able to adjust every detail, it&#8217;s not worth it to be searching endlessly for satisfaction. There are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an attempt to give six other applications a try (I&#8217;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. I&#8217;m fairly satisfied using iTunes at the moment, but I have been searching for a open source solution in particular. And I&#8217;d like a computer-based solution, not just an iPod manager. As an incomplete list (ordered by priority) of my most-wanted features, the ideal program should have: speed simplicity (don&#8217;t mind a bunch of features, but do mind ease and usability) filetype support (in order of necessity: mp3, aac, ogg, flac, wav, wma, etc.) smart playlists (I don&#8217;t want to code out complex filters, but I would like extensive drop down parameters like iTunes [custom playlist coding would come in handy as a bonus feature]) batch tagging/editing search feature that is at least equal to iTunes. Should be able to search all tags, and single fields (phrases would be nice though). Not a must-need feature, but search support for lyrics in id3 tags would be an amazing add-on. hotkeys or custom shortcuts (at least with a plugin or something) [...]]]></description>
