i tunes for a numpty

[RS200416]

Hello

i am new to all this so bear with me. I have got itunes 4 (for windows)in anticipation of the arrival of my new ipod. Last night i was loading some of my cd collection onto it and staying on-line so as to download track info from Gracie, now the copying the CD takes longer than getting the track info, my question is, can i copy ( or rip!) most of my collection than go on line later, highlite the tracks and get the info for 10-20 albums all at once or do i need to do it one album at a time.

thanks for your help,
shark

I found youcan only do one album at a time..... but i could be wrong........I got the ipod for xmas and have over 70 albums.

You need to get the info @ the time of ripping to prevent having messed up file names/ID3 tags. If your on broad band you really shouldn't feel the slowness of CDDB!

May i direct everyones attention to:

Tag And Rename

A very good piece of software for tagging your music, theres even a button which you can click which will go and search www.freeb.com (or something like that) for the album data. Just rip all your CD's into the same folder and start tagging to your hearts content.

yeah i guess that would be it, but some people get it work !!

- i wish i still had my mac, it was slow/old/unmodable, but it never broke, 5 years and work, swaped in a new HDD, another 2 years, sold for £30 (cost of newish HDD)

*cough* opinion there directhex, Itunes for windows is great, i've found it to be the best media player for windows atm..(Its windows that blows goats)
+ its LAN music sharing feature is damn useful for streaming

it crashes on my server box after 2 days of idle running, it uses a rediculous amount of RAM, it stops playing as soon as you lock your machne, with no option to turn it off. Everyone in my house eagerly installed it at release, now the only guy running itunes has a G5.

Itunes and music match for windows does blow goats, i rip all my cd's to mp3 format, tag em then use ephpod to transfer em across, makes for an easier life imo
