I don't make iTunes purchases intentionally, to keep a tight leash for the times when I want to spend when I shouldn't. Sounds like a nice idea...!<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 11/30/09, Bryan Baker <i><ka_klick@mac.com></i></b> wrote:<br><br>From: Bryan Baker <ka_klick@mac.com><br>Subject: Re: [DM-MUG] iTunes 9 iMix "Issue"<br>To: "Des Moines Mac Users Group" <dmmug@dmmug.org><br>Date: Monday, November 30, 2009, 9:17 AM<br><br>@AB: iMix is for sharing with other iTunes store users.

In versions prior to 9 if a song I <br>> submitted for my iMix didn't match up exactly with the song/artist/ <br>> album in the iTunes library, it initially rejected it for the iMix. <br>> The workaround was to go to iTunes Store and find the preview of the <br>> song (probably on a different album) and then just drag that preview <br>> file into your iMix playlist file after deleting your version of the
<br>> song/file. A little bit cumbersome, but doable.<br>><br>> As I just submitted my first iMix playlist using iTunes 9, it <br>> "rejected" 58 of 100 songs from my iMix leaving me with a 42 song <br>> iMix. When I went to "replace" those 58 songs using the iTunes Store <br>> "preview" songs file it wouldn't allow me to drag the preview file <br>> into my iMix playlist. I checked online and saw that others were <br>> having this problem too.<br>><br>> Does anyone know of a workaround for this issue? If there is no <br>> workaround, can I have TWO versions of iTunes on the same computer <br>> and not run into any issues?<br>><br>> Thanks!!<br>><br>> ~~ mauri booton ~~<br>><br>> Example: I may have a song I ripped from a cd that was on the <br>> original album of the artist, but iTunes only carries the song on <br>> the Hits version of the
album ~ so according to the iMix "logic" <br>> it's NOT a match and is excluded from the iMix.<br>><br>Bryan "ka-klick" Baker<br>Singer/Songwriter<br><a ymailto="mailto:ka-klick@ka-klick.com" href="/mc/compose?to=ka-klick@ka-klick.com">ka-klick@ka-klick.com</a><br><a href="http://ka-klick.com" target="_blank">http://ka-klick.com</a><br><a href="http://twitter.com/ka_klick" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/ka_klick</a> <-- Twitter Feed<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>DMMUG mailing list<br>Use this Address to send mail to the list:<br><a ymailto="mailto:DMMUG@dmmug.org" href="/mc/compose?to=DMMUG@dmmug.org">DMMUG@dmmug.org</a><br>Use this page to modify subscription options:<br><a href="http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/dmmug" target="_blank">http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/dmmug</a><br></div></td></tr></table><br>
