In the new version iTunes there were pictures for genres, but unfortunately not for all directions, but only cores.

What to add new pictures to the necessary genres to you the small program iTunes Genre Art Manager is required.

The necessary version under Mac OS or XP/Vista can be found here.

And the necessary pictures here

As for normal job of the program it is necessary to have established Java 6. To users Windows Vista I recommend to start the program from the manager and to establish compatibility with Windows XP SP2.

We download the program, we establish and it is started. Be convinced that iTunes it is not started.

Here the list of all already registered covers for genres is resulted. We click on the necessary genre and having pressed on button Browse, we specify a way to a new picture.

* Pictures for addition I advise you to place in a folder: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes. Resources

After, we apply change by button Apply changes.

For addition of new style in the list press, in line Match Word it is typed necessary names, that which is specified in metadata “тегах” an audiofile.

After change, we start iTunes and it is checked.

Probably as to add pictures in the manual.

1. We throw the necessary pictures in folder C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes. Resources

2. In the same place we open a file “genres.plist” a usual notebook.

3. We insert here such record

Where XXXXX – the style name, and YYYYYY – a name of a file of a picture.

To insert it is necessary before last three тегами: </array> </dict> </plist>

4. We save a file, and it is checked in iTunes.

It is better to make “бэкап” a file before change.

To download a fitter it is possible from officially site Apple

If you at you it is already established iTunes, it is enough to you to start Apple Software Update. Which itself will load and will establish the updated version iTunes.

Rather amusing utility has appeared in AppStore. By means of AirPhones it is possible to broadcast sounding from your Poppy on yours iPod or iPhone. For this purpose it is required to instal passing program on the personal computer, and then to be connected from the mobile device. Conveniently, for example, when you manage on kitchen, and to music listen with iTunes on the computer standing in the next room. The question price – $5.

Recently has started to notice the increasing increase in duplicates of songs in the media library. First of all it is connected with storage of identical songs in the different.

To search for all places where your songs to you, of course, are stored it is not necessary. iTunes can make it automatically. For this purpose to you the File-> is required to come into the menu to Show duplicates. After that in a working window you will have all songs which have duplicates, and you can remove them, having released thus a place on a hard disk, not finding their physical arrangement.

After cleaning of a media library it will be necessary for you to press the button “Show all” in the bottom part of a window iTunes, to return to the full list of songs.

Let with small delay, but we are glad to inform you, that App Store has started to accept cards of the Russian banks!

Just now hands have reached, that on personal experience to be convinced, that all works. All has turned out, the account on mine Visa Classic is created. Now you without effort can establish in the iPod Touch or iPhone applications from App Store. I speak only applications therefore as at Russian shop there are only they. In our country with the author’s legislation all is very difficult, therefore music there is not present.

By the way, after registration from my card almost at once it was wrote off $1.
