iTunes?

[drcpunk]

I don't grok iTunes yet. I used to use a music program that came with my music player, which is not an iPod. But, this program is a bit flakey and tends to decide that it can't find albums that I know it should be able to find online. So, I decided to try iTunes, since my primary music player is actually my laptop these days.

It's copying stuff just fine, but I can't figure out how to tell it, "Okay, show me the albums you have. No, not the individual songs, just the names of the album." And I don't yet know how to tell it, "Show me just the songs from one album, listing them in the order in which they appear on the album." I have only been using iTunes for a few hours, mostly watching it set itself up, so this may be a matter of a couple of minutes of experimentation, but it is not immediately obvious how to do these things.

There's a secret pref to disable Genre in the browser. On the Mac, you use "defaults write com.apple.itunes show-genre-when-browsing -bool FALSE" in Terminal (with iTunes not running).

(Looks like the Windows version needs you to do this.)

Thanks

(I killed the store links, too.)

Thanks -- I'll try to do this later.
