		<description>This is pretty cool. 

1. right click your pdf files and select get info 
2. in the options tab change media kind to audiobook
3. all your pdf&#039;s will now be seperate from your music

This is assuming you don&#039;t have lots of audiobooks in that section.

Only problem I have with using iTunes for pdf&#039;s is that you cannot add album art to a pdf document in iTunes. This would be really useful for ebooks, kind of like a virtual bookshelf?!

Any way it can be made to happen via a script????</description>

		<description>Excellent for research!

If you are one of those who manage not just some, but thousands of PDFs, iTunes is definitely going to help you keep track of all your PDFs.

If you&#039;re working on several papers and using different authors to work on your different papers, here&#039;s what you need to do.

Open iTunes (obviously) and create a New Playlist Folder. To keep PDFs in order, first create a playlist with a name that you will use as your &quot;PDFs to be edited&quot; list. Drag all your PDFs and then edit them all, one by one by pressing (CMD + I). this part may take days, depending on the number of PDFs to process and your ability to use iTunes.

[If you&#039;re the ones who still use the trackpad to operate your Mac, it&#039;ll take you twice as much as what it would usually takes to edit a single PDF]

At the same time, create a playlist that will be used as a &quot;All my PDFs&quot; playlist. I would suggest to copy (drag) all your edited PDFs to your &quot;All my PDFs&quot; list after you edit them and then delete them from your &quot;PDFs to be edited&quot; list.

If you like to keep things in order, now you will be able to create Playlist with those articles (PDFs) that you&#039;ll be using in that specific paper. You&#039;ll be able also to search by author, year, journal, field of study, title, etc.

So, try it and let me know if it works for you, or should you have any questions just drop me a line:

&quot;Who doesn&#039;t likes iTunes, it&#039;s because doesn&#039;t knows how to use it&quot;</description>

		<description>You all seem to be thinking in line with me.

I created a petiton to urge Apple to consider adding liner notes. Please sign it

		<description>Music is certainly the heart of the matter, but users have made it clear that 
they want more. Apple&#039;s move in this direction is a good sign that they are 
repsonding to consumers. I hope they continue, because the lack of notes has 
prevented me from buying some albums on the iTMS.</description>

		<description>Damnit. I am not letting this one slip by.

On July 2nd 2003 I wrote to Steve Jobs.
I said in part: &quot;Please do me a favour. Consider that OSX draws upon the PDF format for display. Would it not be possible to use this format to somehow clothe the music that you sell? Could we not have albums, with e-book sleeves, with some kind of artistry? Can we keep music together in a package that has some meaning?&quot;

On July 4th he replied: &quot;Tom, We disagree.  We think that it&#039;s the music, not the package that the music comes in, that&#039;s important here.&quot;

I am glad that the reality distortion field is working over at Apple. PDF is the obvious future for the &#039;album&#039; and I hope they patent the idea soon :-)</description>

		<description>We covered the liner notes that accompany The Complete U2 box set in our 
recent Playlist review:

http://playlistmag.com/features/2004/11/u2complete/index.php

It&#039;s a cool addition that I hope becomes a standard when you buy a full album 
from the iTunes Music Store.</description>

		<description>I, too, miss liner notes. I hope this indicates a change.

It&#039;s a bit strange that, while early criticism of music downloads mentioned this 
lack, no one has really talked too much about it. Apple again sets a trend 
here, and I&#039;m sure the others will follow. In any case, it&#039;s good for all of us 
who buy music on-line.</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t been proactive enough to do even a simple google search but I&#039;ve 
been suprised that I haven&#039;t come across more discussion on the lack of liner 
notes, etc. with digitally-delivered music. Is the recording industry just saving 
money? Are there standards issues? As a graphic designer I miss the art 
accompanying a new music purchase. Perhaps iTune&#039;s PDF capabilities 
indicate a change.</description>
