iTunes customization
I have a rather large music library (>100GB and growing) managed through iTunes and consisting of music purchased from the iTunes store, ripped CDs, and digitized LPs.
I have two questions the answers to which would help me in managing all of this music:
1. Is it possible to globally set the columns displayed in the list view? I know this can be done on a per-playlist basis but, as you can imagine, it takes a LOT of playlists to manage this much music. It would be helpful to tweak one knob in order to do this. I'm willing to use an unsupported technique to do so and take my chances with SW upgrades.
2. Similarly, is there any automatable way to get CDDB data (e.g. from an external source such as one of the many standalone apps that can accessCDDB data to maange a music library) and apply it, for example, to a digitzed verion of a LP? Same comment as above on unsupported mechanisms.
The question behind this is really how much of the iTunes library structure is open and/or documented? With that information, all sorts of user customizations might be possible. One can even imagine a world of iTunes plug-ins or custom actiona a al Photoshop.
TIA,
Stu
