Hi,
I've recently installed a new OS on a separate hard disk and am putting my iTunes library back together using the files on the other hard disk. (Not copying them over to the new hard disk, just importing them from.)
I've noticed that all the data I had added through "get info" for song names, artist, album, genre, etcetera, has all disappeared. The only rationale for this is that the "get info" function doesn't actually change the raw meta data, but simply adds a veneer to the file for iTunes to read. This is terribly frustrating as I have hundreds of GB of music which now has to be sieved through and the information added again. Most irritating is having to go through songs and remove the track number from the name.
For future reference, is there a way I can set iTunes so that the song names and other information I add is added to the actual file itself? Or failing that, do you know of an alternative software that can do this and sync to my 5g Nano?
(While I'm here, I'll also ask if there exists a high capacity music player without a screen navigated by buttons, similar to the Shuffle. I'm a very heavy user and I find the screens last a pathetically small amount of time, but the 2G Shuffle barely stores a couple of discographies.)
Many thanks.
