Using playlists to sync content with your iPhone - was - Re: MP3 files and iTunes
I can deffinately say that using playlists to sync music to your iPhone is an awesome feature! This is the only way that I use to get music and audiobooks onto my phone. It's such a time-saver, too. Thanks, Air On May 28, 2013, at 10:51 PM, Alan Lemly wale...@gmail.com wrote: Sandy, glad all your music is now there. The main benefit I find for playlists is to restrict which music I sync to my iPhone through iTunes. I've got too much music to sync all of it and iTunes allows you to specify which playlists to sync. Some will say that the native iTunes AAC file format sounds better and takes less space than mp3 but that's a personal preference issue and really only applies when the songs are first being ripped. If you take a music file that has already been compressed to an mp3 file format and then convert it to another compressed format, you will suffer some loss in quality. I'm not sure I'd be able to hear it but unless your mp3 files aren't working for you, I wouldn't go to the trouble of converting them to something else.

Re: MP3 files and iTunes
Sandy, the play list is nothing more then a list of songs and their locations. It's an easy way to create lists of all the songs you have on your device. Let's say you have a large library of ten thousand songs. It's a pain in the neck to have to look through that many songs just to find something to listen to. Now let's say you want to make up a play list for all your favorite songs. The play list permits you to do just that. It also does not mean your tied to that play list. People are subject to change and you might add more music to that collection so that's why there is an edit feature which permits you to add or delete songs from that favorites list. This is just a very simple explanation just so you get the idea of why play lists can be your friend so to speak. You can add a song to a play list or an album. You can go as far as you want to with it even adding play lists to play lists. I know professional disk jockeys here in Las Vegas who show up to the job with an iPod rather then just a computer. Also it lets you pause a play list and sneak a selected song into the mix and then back to the play list in case you take requests. Hope that answers your question of what are play lists. - Original Message - From: Sandy Finley To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 6:01 PM Subject: RE: MP3 files and iTunes Ok, now I have added the music through the Add Folders to Library feature; they're all there.

OGG (that's an O and two G's) is a open format. On 05/29/2013 02:19 PM, Alan Paganelli wrote: OGG is another format like mp3. It's actually suppose to give you better quality with a smaller size. That having been said, I didn't want to have to convirt my collection over. The Ogg files that I do have when I've bought albums from the iTunes store sound perfectly fine so I wouldn't hesitate to use the format. - Original Message - *From:* Sandy Finley mailto:finleykn...@gmail.com *To:* viphone@googlegroups.com mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com *Sent:* Wednesday, May 29, 2013 3:20 AM *Subject:* RE: MP3 files and iTunes Tom and Alan, I think I got it.

RE: MP3 files and iTunes
Sandy, What I would do is to make a playlist in iTunes. Then, go to your windows explorer, copy the files. Go to iTunes and go to the blank list of that playlist, and paste. It will put all of those files in there. When you're done, sync that playlist to your phone.
