iTunes; can you change the "Last Played" data so that it appears you've receantly played all your songs?

you can select the top one and hit play and fastforward through it then select the song below that and fastforward through it and then the naxt song and so forth untill you have done all 4259 songs.  or an easier way you could burn them all to cds and then dlete all your files off the comp and reload them all back on then they will have no last played date

After, you've downloaded your songs you go to library and click on the explore button.  That'll take you to Shared Files and then click Play them all and that 'll take you to the media player, then you click on library there, what should show up is the now playing list.  When you get that press the sync button, and voila!  ooh, make sure your MP3 is hooked to the computer before you do all of this or you'll be waisting your time.  Ooh, and listen to the songs before you put them on your MP3, becuase the songs could tampered with or just plain crap.  Have fun. I'm downloading "Rock Lobster" in a minute.

You should be able to put each one in one at a time and select each song you want until it's full.  What happens when you try?

Go to Options in the iTunes Menu and select your Update Options to include only the playlist you'd like updated.  For instance if you have a Running play list or Work play list when you add music from iTunes or your own library to these playlists, everytime you dock your Pod, those lists will be Update automatically.  As long as you aren't deleting songs from the playlists when you add new songs, they will stay resident on your iPod.

yes you can.  i use anapod explorer to do this instead of itunes.  it is so much easier using the drag & drop method.

i had the same problem.\nok try doing this:\n\nopen windows media player\ngo to library\nnow ((if you have many playlists)) play all of them one by one, and each time you play a playlist, on the right hand side now playing list click on the tab where its written "now playing list" and then click on "save playlist as" and then save the playlist in *.m3u format.\nnow open itunes and import all the playlists you saved, one by one.\nif you have all the songs in one playlist, then you'll have to do it just once :D\n\nhope that helps. that works the best for me!

Well, you should disable the Limewire player from playing the songs. You can do this in the preferences menu.\nThen all you have to do is to click the downloaded song and it will be added to your iTunes library.

Yes, you can add new songs, remove songs, or change songs by changing the playlist that you save to the mp3 player. it is pretty simple process

iTunes\n\n1) under "iTunes" menu, select "Preferences", select "Advanced" and set the type of format you want for the songs;\n2) In your Library, highlight the songs you want to change \n---FYI) you can sort songs by format/file type by going to "Edit" and "View Options" and checking "Kind"; then click on the "Kind" column header in the Library to sort; \n3) under the "Advanced" menu, select "Convert to ___" (it should specify the format you've selected).\n\nThat's it!!  Pretty simple, and no additional software to download.

Q&A_guy has got it wrong. This applies to other folders but not the music folders.\n\nApparently, once you alter the view setting, you can never arrange them by "date modified". I wonder why would Microsoft do such a thing?

No, you have to transfer the music to the itunes program. IT SUCKS.

search your computer for the file and then play it in itunes // and it's usually added to your itunes so the next time you update it everything will be all set.
