iTunes for Windows Gripe Thread

So, I imported all my tunes and the track names are not retained! Alot of my songs were labelled nicely under Windows (Track Number-Artist-Song) and now just show as (Artist-Song). Anyone else have this problem?
 
It's because the ID3 tag was never properly created. Yes, I have the same problem with some files.

How in heck do I get iTunes to play just ONE file at a time? It just goes through the entire library, and I don't want it to.
 
I just installed it and every time I try to add my music folder it starts adding songs and freezes (Not responding). I can't even try it properly🙁

Found out my problem: kept getting hung-up on my play list files. Silly thing.

I'm not sure what you are asking? What do you mean play one file at a time?

OK, what is the easiest and fastest way to write tags. I'm using tag and rename right now but when I try to write tages using info from allmusic.com the track number is not included
 
I tried adding the My Music folder to the library...iTunes is currently eating up 97% resources 28MB of RAM, it won't refresh the screen, and crashed my TV tuner app...

edit: why would playlists do this to iTunes??

edit 2: nevermind...stupid fvcking DiskKeeper went active...worst defrag EVAR!!!
 
lol jigga. ok, i added a colums for track# which is helping, but I want this column to be furthest to the left and it wont let me drag it there. Try it for yourself....:|
 
For fixing tags, there are tools that will repair the ID3 tags using the filename. I used tagscan for mine and it worked really well. Did this ages ago though since I used to have a mac running iTunes, so i basically knew what to expect.

Otherwise I feel right at home with the proggie, but somehow it was more stable on the mac (older version running on OS 9.1). Already crashed it a few times playing around with it - OK I managed to do that on the mac a few times too but not by doing what I did on the windows version -

Cool beans! Thanks for the proggie 😀
 
I dont want to use iTune software to play the music.
Quicktime supports AAC audio.. but, I dont like quicktime either.

How can I get winamp v 2.9 to play these .m4p AAC audio files?

thanks,
christopher

I haven't had any problems. :Q

I just went to file\add folder to library and added my entire mp3 collection(only around 1100 songs) in about a minute.
 
The minimized version doesn't have a playlist addon like winamp does (I also like winamp more for the fact that it's slimmer and it can agree with my themes.)

-The scrolling in the playlist is a little choppy compared to winamp. That could be my pc, but I have 1.8 Ghz and 256 RDRAM.

-No ALWAYS ON TOP feature for the minimized version

-Take up a little bit more resources compared to WA 2.x.

Those are about my complaints. That and lack of Ogg support.
 
My gripe is that it renamed all my mp3 filenames and folders, destroying my winamp playlists. 🙁
 
I've suffered the same fate as kami. 🙁
I was changing a directory, checked something I shouldn't have, and now have 15 gigs of music to rename.
