Jun 9, 2013 3:18 PM in response to bulkmailby patixa,Perhaps I misunderstand your question.
According to the help ("Add iTunes information"), each LP or Extra is tied to a specific iTunes "vendor ID". All the other assets you will need for your project – images for galleries, bonus videos, background media, etc. – appear to work like any of the project types: import them from your local machine, then incorporate them into the project.
If I have misunderstood, would you please provide a more specific example, preferably using existing content in the store, even if it's not yours?

Jun 9, 2013 4:07 PM in response to patixaby bulkmail,Sure. I'm doing something for my own content, but reference the iTunes Holiday Sampler album from 2009 (one of the only full albums I've bought that has iTunesLP content). As you would imagine, the LP has to contain links to every song on the disc without including second copies of all the songs within the LP. So there are 'library item' links for each individual song. Although I am working with iTunes Extras for movies, I see no way to do this from iAd.

Jun 9, 2013 4:41 PM in response to bulkmailby patixa,Thank you for the explanation; it clarified your question!
There is no way I've found to easily mix LPs and Extras in iAd Producer. It might be possible to create an iAP.iTunesAlbum via JavaScript, however the documentation says the class "should never be instantiated directly; instead, use the sharedAlbum property", so that might be a dead end.
If it truly is for personal use only, I'd recommend importing the individual songs into the Extras project and play them that way. Yes, the songs would be duplicated, but they are likely smaller than the movies in your Extras!

Jun 9, 2013 6:11 PM in response to patixaby bulkmail,I don't want to mix LP and Extras, I was jusing an LP as an example. I want to link to two movies from an Extra without including either one in the Extras. That WOULD increase the file size quite a bit. Apples refusal to allow embedded videos in the extra to be available to sync to other devices means I need to be selective of what to embed and what to link to.

Mar 24, 2015 5:58 AM in response to patixaby Arielreyes001,Hello all,
Does anyone here have dmg for iad producer 4.2? I'd like to use it to create my own, old syle itunes extras but I'm unable to find the download for it anywhere.
Thanks,
AR
