Let’s say you’ve shared a voice memo on your iPhone to your Mac using AirDrop. QuickTime Player is one of the most versatile video and audio apps on the Mac, playing back a variety of file formats without needing to use iTunes. The next two methods are even better - they don’t use iTunes to play the file in the first place. From the menu bar, this can be done by selecting Song > Delete from Library, or you can also highlight the file by clicking on it, then press the Delete key. At any time, it’s possible to remove the file from the iTunes playlist by right-clicking the “song”, then selecting Delete from Library from the pop-up menu. This works through the creation of an alias (soft link) between iTunes and the original location of the file on the Mac. This process adds the audio file to the iTunes playlist for listening, but doesn’t copy the file to the iTunes media library. Here’s how to accomplish this task:Ģ) In the Finder, locate the audio file you wish to listen toģ) Hold down the Option key on the Mac keyboard, then drag and drop the audio file into iTunes. Our first method involves using iTunes to play the audio file, but without adding the file to the iTunes Library. Playing the files in iTunes without adding them to iTunes Library
Today we’ll look at a few ways to do this. See below for a screenshot on this feature inside iTunes (right click on the track you want to edit and click “Get Info” to bring up the ID editor).Whether you’re a fan of podcasts, music, or just have a lot of little audio files that you’ve accumulated (from voice memos on an iPhone, for example), you may want to listen to those files without adding them to your iTunes Library. iTunes and Windows Media Player both have the ability to embed images directly into the ID tags of an mp3 file with ease. The Solutionįirst of all you need to make sure that the album art is embedded in the file itself not placed as an image in the same folder (it may work but you’re more likely to run into further problems). What happens is that even after you’ve correctly tagged your mp3 files on your Mac/PC, moving them to the phone and playing them on the default music player mixes up the album artwork resulting in some tracks having artwork from a completely different artist/track which can be extremely frustrating (picture a Beethoven’s 5th Symphony with Britney Spears album art). As of yesterday I’ve found the solution which im happy to share! The Issue
I’ve known about this issue for a while but it never really bothered me until recently when I started taking public transport and listening to music on my phone quite a bit.
