      Ok firstly, sorry if this should be taged on to an other thread but I searched I could not find one.

      My wife has had a Nano for 8 months now, and I have not got to grip with the software/user interface of iTunes. Generally, How the hell in Zeus' but hole do you import albums. First of all it imported every sodding album on the PC, which I had to delete every sodding track individually!!! :mad:
      We have created an "album" of fast running songs, from various albums, renamed them, so they would have the same Artist, Album Title, Year, genre etc not to confuse the piece of sh*t But HOW THE FU*K DO YOU IMPORT A SODDING ALBUM!!!!. I noticed in the Apple shop, that they actually give lessons on how to use these things that come with NO software, NO charger, NO manuel, which makes me think they are not that easy to use in the first place.
      What makes he want to pull my hair out is that I am very computer literate. All the other MP3 things that I have easy!, Copy and Paste, no problem, but Apple, OHHHHHHHHHHHH no, we are special, we can not allow you to have any independence, or give you a freakin' clue. Nothing to say, import album, download file, or a visible folder you can Copy and Paste. FU*KING NOTHING!! So any help will be greatly appreciated.

      Thank, Maddog, aka RedPuppy

      File > Add to Library... Then find the album/song you want to import.

      I do the same as what Paul Robbo says mate and it always works fine?

      File > 'Add folder to library' to add an album.

      File > 'Add file to library' to add a song.

      On the Mac if you play a song it automatically adds to your iPod Library.  Otherwise I add albums using the Add Folder.  If you're adding an album from CD it just imports automatically doesn't it?

      Thanks for all the help guys, but I just hate the thing, I guess I will need to go to Apple n town had be shown how to do it. I think I have a mental block with it 'cos its got it's own software thats not windows based. Gone back to my Creative Zen. Only problem is its Pink, got it for the wife ages ago, but she never took to it...so I'm left with a Pink MP3 player.

      iTunes should work on Windows. Thats all you need for iPods. And Pink MP3, you best hope they make covers for it :P

      Does anyone else think that iTunes organises your music in a very sh*t and messy fashion.

      And does anyone have any tips on sorting, without having to arse about too much?

      I've just spent the last hour deleting duplicated songs. >:(

      File >>> Show Duplicates, is it really that hard? :P

      I find it really easy to use, and it lists them well.

      Evidently not! :D

      I must have got them all as none are showing now.

      My new Kasabian album and new Snow Patrol album aren't showing at all. It shows the previous albums but not the nw (recently downloaded) ones. Trying to write them on to CD to just rip them straight onto iTunes but that's a seperate issue. F*cking electrical goods this week. >:(

      iTunes still not recognising a variety of albums.

      It does seem to be illegally downloaded legitimately purchased one. Do you think this may be something to do with it?

      And my CD drive still won't work. :D

      Still not recognising? What - you can't upload them?

      To be honest, and I hate to get all Apple v Windows again - but when I used to use iTunes on the PC it was the most god awful program ever.  I would go back the next day and a CD I had uploaded would have disappeared.

      My iTunes folder is about 180Gb now so I keep mine on an external portable drive.  Handy because I can plug it in to any computer and start up iTunes on that computer.

      That's a fair shout that, and you're probably right about the old Apple v Windows thing. I'm currently convincing iTunes that my Killers albums haven't moved.

      Only noticing all this because I'm going through artist by artist and doing the album covers manually. :D

      Kasabian and Coldplay just won't go on though. Pissing me off, some boss albums that iTunes doesn't agree with.

      How do you go about transferring your iTunes folder to an external hard drive then? That would be sound for me because I'm getting a new comp soon.

      Go into Itunes, manually manage music, then click, file , library and organise, you need to "consolidate" your library. Then go to the file under music, and find your itunes library file. You need to move this to your removable disk, then on the new computer install itunes and simply drag the folder into the Itunes window et voila! The itunes library file should be the same size in GB as your actual music library.
