iTunes Digital Album Booklets.
I have read a few of some similar iTunes Digital Booklet posts on Apple Support. iTunes offers digital booklets with some of its purchases, for which I am grateful. However, I have uploaded all my CDs to my iTunes library. Nearly all of the CDs came with a booklet of some sort — a booklet with individual pages, or merely a few, and or, long foldout pages.
I have copied nearly all of my CD booklets, by scanning them and uploading them to the corresponding album, mostly using Adobe Photoshop to create the JPEGs then converting them to individual PDFs, then creating a PDF booklet with (Apple) Preview. (I think you can also use Apple Pages, but this isn’t as versatile as Photoshop). I upload the completed digital booklets to my iTunes library, then look in “Recently Added” — the new digital booklet can be found there and I add the correct titles and information after clicking “Get Info”.
I had to recreate quite a few of the CD booklets as my CD collection was partially destroyed in a house fire, courtesy of an idiot renovator/builder. I found some of references to the damaged booklets on various internet websites, (I wish there were more)! As many online music downloads do not come with booklets, but do with CDs, I recreate the booklets as close to the original release as possible, then upload it to be incorporated with the new purchased download.
The problem being: When I purchased my new iMac desktop, I naturally had to retrieved my entire iTunes library from a back-up drive. Only a few digital booklets uploaded to my new iTunes. The majority of the booklets and even the iTunes purchased booklets did not upload. I had to upload more the 2000 booklets individually, A MAMMOTH TASK!
How can I keep them there if I need to upgrade to a new iMac in future? Maybe a feature that can be designed into the next iTunes software update???
Thanks for reading — any suggestions?
