iPod & iTunes help

[Over the Bar]

I;ve uploaded all the music on my PC to the iTunes library ready to transfer it to my Ipod.  Many of the tunes and albums are duplicated tho so how do I remove the duplicates?

[Homer]

Click the Edit menu in the top toolbar and go to Show Duplicate Songs, this will bring up a list of all songs in the library with the same name (songs spelt wrong will not be matched). (As far as I know) You have to manually delete the duplicates.

Actually a handy way of doing this (provided you have none of these rated), is to go down My Rating column of the list and rate every second one (i.e. all grey or all white rows). When you reach the end just click the My Rating label to order the list by ratings (and thus seperating them) then click the first rated track to select it and hold Shift and click the last rated track to select all of the tracks you rated (or all duplicates) right click the selestion and select Clear.

How long did it take you to put all your CDs on iTunes - if you have 3,00 duplicates, you must have some number of CDs?

[Over the Bar]

I bought a 300gb hard drive and have my whole music collection on there and then iTunes just does a search for what's there and imports it.  I've put about 300-400 cds on but also buy my music 40 albums at a time on 1 dvd then transfer it across.

[Over the Bar]

Yes there is.  I think an earlier thread touched on this but if not you will get it in google groups as I deffo read it there.

Where can you get the device and whats it called that tunes into your car stereo so i can play the Ipod thru the  car speakers?

Yes you can upload mp3 thats you DL from limewire, however the odd one will fail depending on the quality of the original source.

There are a few iTrips about as they are known.  I;d advise against the Griffin iTrip whch is about £15-£20 as I got one and you could hear the FM 'hiss' quite a bit.  Then I got the Monster one which is about £30-£40 and its excellent sound quality.

i bought ipod off ebay and it going great 9 months later, it was bought as-new. got ipod speakers off ebay also, nice and cheap.

I meant the itrips as over the bar called them.But actually i never thought of ebay,much cheaper?

[PadraicHenryPearse]

got fold up speakers for 99c + $5 p&P, work a treat, ipod was €99 all in.

What do you think is the best iPOD solution for the car.  I got one of those Griffin FM transmitters, which works ok, although it is only really an average enough FM quality. 

Has anyone used any integrated set up which actually connects to the car stereo?
