Official Itunes Thread

Mod's should sticky this or somethin, cuz i hope this thread will have alot of Information, and alot of traffic

First of all , i don't know everything about itunes, i just know i have 1096 tracks on my itunes with 3.42 gigs used up, lol, i make sure to save alot of room

What i do is, when i add a new album, usually the album is an hour or more long, and some songs have a long ass intro or outro, basicly, every real rap song is only 3 minutes if you take the jibber jabber out of it and cut it down to just the verses and chorus, for those who don't know how to do that....

click on a song on your itunes, for example, tupac's OG mix of soulja story is 5:08, but he starts rappin at 48 seconds, so right click the track, scroll down to get info, click the options tab, go down to start time and type in 0:48 click ok, now, find out when the end ofhis 3rd verse is, or if you want the chorus as well, which ends at 4:20 before it repeats, right click again, go to get info, options tab, go to end time, type in 4:20, then go up to advanced at the top of Itunes, scroll down to create MP3 version, let it convert, now delete the longer version, instead of the long intro, now all you have is a 3:32 song, which saves time, and bite space.

For example, the biggest album i had was 50 cents Get Rich Or Die Tryin, which origonally is 70 minutes, now, take out the skits, and all the time wasting bullshit where he's talking or taking bullets in a skit before or after a song, and the final time is actually 56 minutes.

I have 75 tracks from 50 cent, all in under 250 megabites and 3 and a half hours.

so, right now i have an 8 gig ipod touch, i have 3.42 gigs taken up and still have 2.8 gig space, with 1093 tracks, tomorrow i'm gettin a 32 gig ipod touch, do the math for that, basicly i'll be able to hold 11,000 tracks on that ipod, holy fucking shit.

That's interesting. I'm gonna try that, it'll probably end up saving me a LOT of space.

I don't really use itunes but I'm gonna try it. It'll def. take a lot of time and effort, but if it saves space, could be worth it.

If bolder and balder sounded the same maybe that punchline would have worked.

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

That always annoys me about a lot of rap songs. The rapper talks for like 30/45 seconds sometimes before the song starts or lets the beat go for a minute before rapping. Always was a pet peeve of mine lol.

Same here, 50 cent oes it the most, it takes up to much time and wastes the beat, i mean, i found one song that has the last verse end about a minute before the actual track is over, the beat just continues for a minute, thats lazy, you could at least add another verse, or cut the beat off,
