[Tango-L] Tango music and I-Tunes

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Hi Susan,

A few months ago, I began using Itunes on my computer (a PC, not a Mac), so that I can put music on the Ipod I got for Christmas.  My music had been imported earlier using Windows Media Player, which I then imported to Itunes.  I haven't had the problem you described.  Perhaps that might be an option for you, though it does eat up disk space.  If that solution works, then perhaps you can just delete the WMA version to save disk space.

Since most of my music come from personal disks, it's easy for me to change a song's properties through Windows Media. Itunes doesn't seem to store the music as simply as Windows Media, in folders that you can easily access and change.

The problem I've had with my Ipod is that if I do a playlist that basically contains a whole CD but with different cortinas, the new cortinas won't play.  Nor can I have the same cortina play multiple times on the same playlist.  If someone can figure that one out for me, I'd appreciate it.

Trini
