RE: Editing Your Collection - How?

Why ever would anyone want to do that?!  I can imagine one or two nightmare scenarios, but if the turntable is good enough to play for making a copy why not listen to vinyl and get superior sound reproduction?  Unless, come to think of it, someone has an off-the-self Tesco-type deck and is borrowing a friend's LP12 (or similar) to copy from.  Why copy a medium that is as good, or better than CD's 16 bit resolution into a non-lossless device?   Unless it's for background listening whilst decorating the the house etc.

Vic.

Thanks Mr Brennan. How enterprising of you. Now Mr. Tesco have you got updated and downloadable Health and Safety manuals for opening the latest tin of Tesco Sausage and Beans please?

I'm hungry and waiting.............

RE: Editing Your Collection - How?

Linked with this editing your collection theme. Does anyone think there ever could be a classical music cd swap website? I have hundreds of cds I'd love to swap for others rather than having to sell them for around $2-3 each whilst having to paying $5-8 for the used/new cds I now want. Could some sort of cd swap system ever work?

RE: editing your collection

Somehow this post got off track. I read the earlier posts and they are quite interesting. When I buy a CD, it immediately gets ripped into both ALAC (for listening at home from Zeppelin Air Play iPod dock I just purchased) and AAC for my iPod. Lately, though I have been downloading ALAC files directly to my computer from the Hyperion website where you can download everything you ever hoped for.  I find if you rip your CD collection to a hard drive using your choice of software, you can find recordings much easier whether searching by composers, conducter, performer, etc. than trying to track down that physical CD stashed away somewhere in your home. Back to editing, I wouldn't dream of getting rid of any of my CDs. They are my second backup copy after the 2 TB hard drive. I keep the physical CDs safely stored away. The only reason I continue to buy CDs is that they are superior to the downloads you can get from either iTunes or Amazon. As someone said in earlier posts, the reason that most of us are interested in music is the infinite interpretations of the works themselves.

I could not agree more with this post. My sentiments exactly.

First, try turning your unit off and leaving it for approx 30 seconds, turn it back on and leave it in stanby as it compresses.
If your unit still does not compress your music colelction, try the following:
Clean up Settings:
• Go to the menu
• Scroll through the options and select Settings
• Scroll through the options and select Maintrnance
• Scroll through the options and select Clean up.
• Press ok, then when asked if you are sure, select ok.
• Wait for this to complete.
• Turn your unit off via the switch on the back.
• Turn your unit back on again via the switch on the back.
Reset Settings:
• Go to the menu
• Scroll through the options and select Settings
• Scroll through the options and select Maintenance
• Scroll through the options and select Reset settings.
• Wait for this to complete.
Check if the problem still occurs.

Finally try a "compress all"

(NB: This will make all tracks compressable, even ones you have stored losslessly. Only continue if you are happy to have all your music in Mp3 Format)
• Go to the menu
• Scroll through the options and select Settings
• Scroll through the options and select Maintrnance
• Scroll through the options and select Compress all.
• Press ok, then when asked if you are sure, select ok.
• Wait for this to complete.
• Turn your unit off via the switch on the back.
• Turn your unit back on again via the switch on the back.

Will the jb7 database recognise the names of albums on a usb?

RE: Editing Your Collection - How?

The database will only recognise the names of tracks and albums loaded from a CD.

RE: Editing Your Collection - How?

i dont mean to disappoint you but you cannot rearrange the numerical order of the CDs once they are loaded onto JB7, but you can make a playlist with them in any order.
