Bootlegs into I-Tunes???

Jesika537

Has anyone else had to manually enter all the info into their I-Tunes from the bootlegs? I have been having problems with my internet lately, so I am not sure if that is part of the problem or if the software just doesn't know these CD's. Thanks for any help.

right click the track and you'll get a pop-up menu and click "get info".

another pop-up content will show the track's information. Click on "info" and you'll get to edit the song's title, date of release, artist, genre, etc...

i hope that's what you're referring to.

If you are not connected to the internet it will not list titles.It will list is as track 1....2...& so on.

I've had that problem with boots in the past. No matter how many times I change the boots info, the songs still play in the order that they want to play. I just made play list for the boots that do this.

I have that problem too with some boots. It drives me nuts when I just want to listen to a boot and it plays out of order. I guess making a playlist for each boot is all you can do..

You have to edit the track #'s. Right click on the file.

I manually have to do every show. It’s a pain

I have a 30 gig IPOD so to keep ALL my PJ shows together I add “PJ” at the beginning. Then year so I can keep the years together then date. Example for Camden, NJ 5-27-06
I have it PJ 2006-5-27 Camden, NJ

Also the tracks don’t line up right so I have to manually fix that as well.
Ill do a copy/paste of the setlist. Go to “get info” and manually chance everything


Sometime when uploading a boot there will be a space after Pearl Jam so that will create a new “band”. So I have to fix that too.

It’s a pain. Downloading the shows is the easy part. Getting them into ITunes and edited correctly is a pain.

But I do it all from the "get info" section

Also do NOT put in anything for the "out of" part. Like its song 2 of 13. Dont put the 13 in there. Just leave it blank. ITUNES doesn read things the way we do. So you have to edit each songs order.

FYI... I really like using a program called mp3tag... makes it really easy to edit mp3 id tags and file names.
