    cheers mate!
  3. Hey guys! I'm not sure if this problem is fixable, but I figured that I would give it a shot on here. Ever since I updated iTunes to version 8.1.1, I have been receiving these messages before iTunes opens:





    It's a pain because it takes it a couple of minutes to open (obviously). It isn't the entire installation, it's just those messages. Is there a way to get rid of the problem? Thanks for any help from anyone in advance!
  4. Maybe try removing iTunes completely and reinstalling it?

    The only time I've ever seen that message after installing iTunes is when I delete the desktop shortcut.







    To completely remove iTunes / iPod from Windows


    1. Create a System Restore Point (Computer >Right-Click Properties > System Protection > Create).


    2. Backup your iTunes folder in your My Music (Windows 2000 - XP) or Music (Vista).


    3. Start > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs (Windows 2000 - XP) or Programs and Features (Vista).


    4. Remove Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, iTunes and QuickTime.


    5. Delete all Apple and iTunes-related folders in Program Files and check for hidden folders too.


    6. Use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to make sure everything relating to Apple has been removed.


    7. Click Start > Run and type services.msc and see all Apple-related services have been deleted (Bonjour, Apple Software Update and Apple Mobile Support).


    8. Restart your computer and try re-installing iTunes again, using the original iTunes Installer from Apple. If you need to, get the latest version from Apple.

  6. Just a small tip for foobar2000 fanatics:

    You can add another filter which lets you filter the DB on the codec type. Lossy / Lossless is an interesting filter to have.

    To do this:
    1. Create a new filter in your Column UI layout. Position it where you like. Now
    2. Go to the Filter settings
    3. Add a new filter rule according to the screenshot below. You can name it whatever you like though.

    Invalid url 'http://[IMG]http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2908/fb2k.png[/IMG]'

    Now will you have a filter with 'Lossy' and 'Lossless' If you rather have a list where you choose from MP2/MP3/ALAC/FLAC use %codec% in the field settings of the specific filter.

    Also you can sort the results more logically by filling %album artist%|%album%|%tracknumber% into the Sort incoming files by field

    If there is interest i will post more tips in the future
