Great, except it never actually works. I imported a CD with iTunes – it correctly identified the album and artist, and found the artwork, yet it insists the CD is six separate albums and nothing I do will fix this. I’ve tried group editing the tags, I’ve tried changing the album and artist names – I’ve tried everything.

iTunes is the worst piece of shit software ever written. Made of fail.

Hi, thanks for the tips. I use itunes all the time and i like what apple has done to it.
I really like the itunes store, i use it all the time for music and apps and i think it works great.
Itunes has some really good features and it is easily managable. The only thing that bugs me is the filetype support, i would really like to have all my flacs in otunes but i guess every program has its flaws. Thanks for the link and good luck!

heh, nice how to but I don’t think I’m gonna be abe to fix my whole library, I have almost 150 gigabytes of music and organizing that is gonna take wuite some time. I’m just gonna fix the most important CDs I have like the ones I have on my iPod and others that I listen to often. I think it’s quite fun to clean up your music collection but that may just be because I have no life and that I’m a total audiofile.
I just love music and this how to really helped me straighten out my collection to some extent!

Hey, I tried doing this same thing in winamp and it actually works! Its not as complete as itunes’s altering compabilities but it works for me. I use itunes and I think I’m gonna stick with it (even more now that Ive cleared up all my missing info) because I think its stable and looks good.
Winamp is nice to but it feels kind of unstable, one time when I tried to start it, my computer freezed and I had to restart it (wtf?). That’s not a sign of a good program to me. Still, winamp has some feature that itunes still lacks but overall I like itunes quite a bit over winamp.
C ya!

iTunes is indeed very time consuming, but it’s definitely worth it with though of that it is free. It works really easy and smooth. People should definitely start using this method of organizing.
Glad that you posted this I hope more people will start using this method, also thanks for midomi.
Cheers, bro! (y)

@Truong: Yes, he explains it in the article, you just highlight all the songs you want to change art on and do as you normally do with one song. If you already do that and just think the whole process is too slow, I saw some tool somewhere that took albumart from amazon and copied it to your library.
Nice post btw, didn’t help me that much but good for the newbs ;P

Sorry, this didn’t help me since I don’t download music illegally, I just import my CDs and get the albumart alternatively scan the cover and just paste it in. By doing that I ensure myself of a perfectly looking library.
Nice article though, would have helped me two years ago.

Hey I got this link through a page who told me to go check it out, so I did and I can just say THANK YOU.
My music has always been a mess but I didn’t think I could do anything about it so I just kept it as it was. Now Im going to follow your instructions and get a nice music library!

I’m currently using Google Chrome, does anybody know how I can drag the album art into iTunes directly without saving the image? It works fine on Firefox. Anywho, I really liked this article and enjoyed reading it. Very thankful for midomi, I’ve been looking for something like that. iTunes is a efficient way of organizing music, I recommend more people should use it.

Good guide. I didn’t use iTunes, but my music experience is nicer now. I used your tips to organise my mp4 player, so if anyone doesn’t like iTunes, feel free to say so, but bear in mind that this guide applies to other areas more than iTunes ;)
Nice thing to tell us Filip :) Good Job

I like the content in this text a lot, iTunes is like my love. lol
I agree with you at the “Most people today have really unorganized music collections.” part, almost all of my friends have unorganized music libraries. I tell them to at least try to organize it but they don’t. I recently showed some of my friends this article. It really inspired them, they actually started organizing their music. As most people have said, this article is very good and excellently written. Good job! (y)

Hey, I see a few Michaels here. Anyways, I like the text. Very well written. Though I use foobar, and don’t care much about organizing it. For me music is just something I listen to. Friends of mine told me iTunes work slowly too, I probably will start organizing the music if I find a program that does it quick. Midomi was great, I like to play with it. hehe. Thanks for the link
