Tips about iTunes preferences


Sharing

If you want to give someone access to your library, you can change your Sharing preferences to allow them to do so. You can share your entire iTunes library or just select playlists and set a password for remote users to access them with. You can also search for other shared libraries on computers connected to your network. You can only share with five computers per day.

Store

The Store preferences relate to what the iTunes store can and can’t do automatically, like whether it can automatically download prepurchased files or missing album artwork.

Parental

With these settings, you can restrict the type of content your children have access to. You can also use content ratings to restrict access to certain materials. If you don’t want your children running up your credit card in the iTunes store, check the iTunes Store check box to disable it and then click the lock in the lower corner to prevent further changes without a password.

Devices

This is where you can change options relating to the syncing of devices like your iPod, iPhone, and iPad. If you like to manually select your music, make sure to select the Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from Syncing Automatically check box.

Advanced

On the Advanced tab, you can change your default iTunes library location, tell iTunes to keep your files organized, and tell iTunes whether or not to make copies of files that you add to your library. You can also make changes to how iTunes windows work.

iTunes tips

You may notice when listening to music in iTunes that some songs are louder than others. Sound Check is an option on the Playback tab that supposedly allows you to listen to all of your music at the same volume. When Sound Check is turned on, it scans your library for volume information for each track and then stores it in the music database or ID3 tag. Sound Check doesn’t seem to be very effective, so there’s no real value in activating it.

If you choose to have iTunes make a copy of your files as you add them, you will end up with duplicate audio files on your hard drive. Once iTunes has copied them to the iTunes folder, you can delete the file from its original location to save disk space.
