Sorry -- I meant how they're organised on the hard drive. If I want to play the MP3s with another application, it's incredibly annoying. Makes playing it through the TiVo a bitch.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ah. That I don't know.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
1. I hate how ITunes has 'organised' my ripped files. Compilations are broken up as every track is stored under the artist (or some concatenation thereof) that performed it. Is there any middle ground? MMJB let you pick the storage hierarchy in more detail than I can find here.
That's not supposed to happen. (eta: if you actually ripped the songs in iTunes. But sometimes even then it happens.) But if if does, filter so you've selected every song in the compilation. Then select all the songs and go to Info. Check "Part of a compilation."
eta: Not sure if I understand your tag question. Yes, iTunes uses CDDB to get tag info. What do you mean when you say your other application uses CDDB to get "more info"?

tommy, I asked the questions poorly. The first one was about the MP3s on the hard drive, and the second was about MP3s that have already been created -- MMJB has a super-tagging feature that tries to look them up again in the CDDB and fill in missing values.

Oh. Did I help with your first question? I don't think iTunes has any "super-tagging" feature.
Can iTunes for Windows handle scripting?

Bless you, tommy! 8 Mile is all together.
Most of my collection was ripped in MMJB. Now I have a reorg plan.

Hey. New board.
iTunes does not have super-tagging. It's very annoying, actually. There aren't even any really good external super-tagging programs for Macs that I've found.
Had I thought of it, I would have warned you not to let it reorganize your files for you. The file structure iTunes uses is very nice if you use iTunes itself to rip most of your files, but it often causes problems for people with large collections made by other jukeboxes. It's a very "iTunes is the end all be all of music programs and why would you ever use anything else?" type thing much of the time. I run into some similar problems when I try to play music through my Xbox that you had with the Tivo, though I'm getting the hang of bending iTunes to my wishes.

Can anyone tell me why this page looks like crap in IE/WinXP when this page looks just fine? They've got identical table structures. (Or, they should. It's possible I've got a typo in there somewhere, but from what I can see, IE is simply ignoring the width attribute on nycfilmcritic.)
In Firefox and Safari and IE/OSX, both pages look the same. I'm being driven maaaaaaaaaaaaad.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Actually, the page on the old site does odd things for in in IE6/win98, too, just not the same things as the new site. Lemme take a look.

What happens when you pour the text from the broken one into the working one? And is there anything in the style sheet that's off?
Looking at it, I can't tell what the problem is, but the the tables differ in width by a column, and length by a row. I'd start from identical on the working one, and make it over step by step with the content of the broken one, and see if it breaks.
