Thoughts on using iTunes to identify voicemail messages?
iTunes is designated as the default player for MP3 files on my PC, where each of my business line voicemail messages arrives as an attachment to an email. As a result, whenever I click on such an attachment to listen to it, iTunes "sees" that voicemail messages and lists it in My Music," where it is identified only by the cryptic filename assigned to that MP3 file by the voicemail system's numerical naming convention. For example, one such voicemail has a filename of "77124.mp3", which shows up in "My Music" as "77124".
I really needed a way to organize, find, and easily retrieve these voicemail messages anyway, so I'm considering using iTunes to help with this. I'm thinking I could download a copy of each voicemail attachment after I've listened to it, then use iTunes' existing fields to identify the message as follows:
song name = actual file name (already populated)
artist = Name of caller
album = date of call (yyyymmdd format)
composer = Name of business matter (could be company name)
genre = 1voicemail (I created this genre to makes it easier to get to this choice)
Any thoughts about problems I might run into by pursuing this?
Any thoughts about different field assignments I might consider that could provide better sorting options?
Any different suggestions?
