    1. How do I let iTunes automatically update my library when I download music from beep to a specific folder, like how WMP has "Monitored Folders"? Searching tells me you need a third party software... Got any?

    2. On my iPod, featuring artists appear as a / with the original artists and take up extra space in my artist list... How can I remove this while keeping the featured artist?

    3. Can I get album artworks without having an iTunes account, or well manually placing them? Got a program which does this automatically?

    ty ^^

      1. Cant help you there, sorry

      2. Cant you put [insert band/ singer here] Feat. [ insert band/ singer here]?

      3. Amazon is your friend here. I just look for the album, and save the artwork into my pictures.

        I had the same problem (number 2), when I had two artists for the same song. The way Caael solves it is one way to get around it. Choose whichever artist to be the "official" artist for the song, then edit the song's name and put "Featuring _____".

          With number 3, iTunes' album covers are better than most because the Amazon pictures tend to look condensed on the iPod, while the iTunes covers appear crystal-clear.

          It's worth it to sign up, I've learned. :D

            But when you arent actually using itunes to get music, e.g Limewire, most of the time you dont get the artwork. I suggest with Amazon album artwork that you dont get the larger image, as that has a lot of white space around it, just drag the artwork from the product page. Its about the same size

            As for removeing pictures, anybody know how? I have many a time put the wrong pictures in, and just replacing them doesnt work.

              I don't buy my music, but all you have to do is right click the song and click 'Get Album Artwork'

              You don't have to pay for the songs to get the art.

                You need to have a credit card to sign up for me. I don't have one >.<

                  Yeah, I guess that can be a problem. I just got my parents' permission and used their's.

                    Little bit of a revive, but I have a problem. My local grocery store recently had a "buy $10 worth of stuff, get a free song download off yaddayadda.com" promotion. So, I downloaded a few free songs. But when I try to add them to iTunes, it says they are protected WMAs and thus can't be added unless I have the CD they came off of. Which I don't. Any help on how to get these into iTunes?

                      If you have protected WMA's, the only way to use them is to listen to them on your computer, or put them directly onto a WMA player. Nothing else.
