Random Music Thoughts

You be getting Ariana together. It always cracks me up cause I totally agree.

Lol. I mean, shit, Mariah and Whitney were diva's that could sing but they weren't robots. I want to like her because she makes catchy pop songs and has a good voice but that diva attitude and robotic personality ain't cutting it. I wish she would let loose when she sings too, or even when she lip-syncs in her videos. She barely moves her mouth or body to the words/music (even for an uptempo song like Break Free). It's like let loose bitch, don't be afraid of not looking cute. Sometimes when you hit them high notes you look ugly but we don't care because we'll feed off your energy when you're performing.

Months ago on the old board I asked what to do in iTunes to get it to stop changing the info I edited for songs back. I think when I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, it changed a setting back. Is it the Sync Playback information option I uncheck?

iTunes is always messing up my stuff. It has randomly changed album art for multiple artists/albums. I have no idea how it happened, but sometimes a Whitney Houston cover will pop up for Fleetwood Mac, etc.. It really annoys me. Haha.

I have an even weirder problem. I tape a podcast using iRecord for Skype. So I have a Skype conversation which it records from pick-up to hang-up. I upload the raw file (I don't edit anything) to my podcast hosting site, which then transfers it via the RSS feed to iTunes. Every single episode, the episode ends...there is a few seconds of dead space...and then it contains a random part from a previously recorded episode. It's not necessarily the beginning or the end. It's never the same amount of time. I will see that a file is 37 minutes when I upload it. It gets to iTunes and it's 52 minutes. I am CONVINCED it's iTunes!

Speaking of the boring Grande, I had to laugh this week when her father became more interesting than she ever has been.

[Raybee]

Yes, I'm very anal and particular about my iTunes library. I have to have all original artwork and info for songs/albums and that's why I hate buying the "single" version and try to wait for the album because iTunes is notorious, even after you change it, to change it back. Drives me nuts.

[misplaced validity]

I'm pretty sure it has to do with a specific setting, though. I had this issue like a year ago, and I changed a setting, and it was fine. When I downloaded the updated iTunes, of course it had the setting changed back and I didn't think about it.

I think I was the one who told you last year. Make sure your library isn't syncing with iCloud. That tends to mess with any edits you've made to your tracks.

[Raybee]

Yeah I don't have that on either. I think it was iCloud that was doing it but everything would show up on my phone twice, for example. Obviously that drove me fucking nuts.
