I unfortunately have some audio files in mp4 format, I have noticed
that in itunes 10 they are treated as videos and the video screen pops
up and instead of being able to navigate through itunes when the track
is playing, I am forced to stare at a black screen with the video
controls at the bottom.
Does anybody know of a simple way around this, or will I have to fish
through my collection and convert them?
Easy fix. Select all the offending files and enter Command+I, iTunes
will ask you "Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple
items?" Select Yes, and a window titled 'Multiple Item Information' will
appear. Go to the 'Options' tab on the far right and you will see
options Volume Adjustment (adjusts relative playback volume of selected
files), Equalizer Preset (obvious), and the third option is Media Kind.
Select 'Music' and click the blue OK button and iTunes will treat them
as music files instead of video files.
Just FYI, the rest of the options are 'Part of a compilation' (useful
for say an album by multiple artists or a greatest hits album, it's up
to you), Skip when shuffling (obvious), and Gapless album (live albums,
and Pink Floyd studio albums would be good candidates for this option
where the original had no gap between songs).
HTH,
Tina
