sorting out music
4 Answers
Hi as I am no expert with a pc I have copied loads of music on to the pc hard drive from my music cds and from other peoples hard drive that they have gave me
Now I have some 37gig of music in all different formats, plus loads of duplicated tracks by the same artists
How can I simply sort them out so I have them all in mp3 format and without the duplicated tracks and without loosing any (other than the duplicated ones)?

Import all your tunes. Convert them all to mp3 with itunes program and then choose to show all duplicate songs and delete the ones you don't want anymore. It's really easy with itunes!

With a lot of hard work is the simple answer. I'm in a similar position, though most of mine are 96kb MP3pro's. I have many MP3's at different bitrates, no wavs, and no WMA's - if it's a WMA I don't want to know.
I dunno what you use to play your music, but I use Musicmatch
http://www.musicmatch.com/
which has various things you could do with, like tagging and renaming. It also converts some formats, but not WMA's. Failing that, I suggest you get seperate renaming progs and investigate other players - I'm not sure but maybe windows media player does tagging and genres and other stuff MM does - I don't use it so I wouldn't know.
