![]() (Of course it should be possible to upload those data, but the fact that apparently Apple doesn't do that seems like a lack of sophistication rather than malign intent.) Since "iTunes in the cloud" does not upload your music but simply notes that you own certain tracks which are available from the store, and then just downloads a fresh copy if you want your music somewhere else, I can imagine it will lose all your custom tags. This makes me think that the fault is in iCloud only. Quote from: Jplus on 10:24:01 you be more specific about iTunes 11 and iCloud? I'm using iTunes 11 but not iCloud and my tags are never modified, not even when I sync to my iPad. I also did the "Feedback" thing with Apple about the issue but I think I am a lone voice "crying in the wilderness". ![]() etc.) (Amazon mp3 is not available in Australia). Yes, I have, since iTunes 11, decided to only purchase from iTunes what is no longer available on CD or (FLAC via bandcamp, qobuz. This is evidence not only that Apple continues its downhill progression but also that I should avoid anything computer-related that has the word cloud anywhere near it. I’m glad that I only use it to transfer files. To hear that it actually intrudes upon users’ intent is on another level. And I thought the new version of iTunes was bad enough simply on the basis of its scrambled UI. It also appears that iTunes communicates with the store when copying my albums onto my iPod and uses the store tagging, once again resulting in lost integrity of my library filing structure.Wow. genre, album artist, sort fields) is overwritten resulting in a lack of library integrity. Quote from: cyberdux on 01:07:22 After iTunes 11 and Cloud, any custom tagging (e.g. I recomended it because from what i can see from my experience using it deleted all personal info like i said, i have not used a hex editor before, but i do know that after using the program i was not able to see any purchase date or email when using the file in itunes. ![]() * And I never wanted to delete it for the sake of sharing my files with anyone: it was just a matter of personal preference, perhaps strange but whatever. I’m not being argumentative for the sake of it I suppose the OP will have to try it out. I won’t be trying it because I don’t currently care enough about that information being in my files.* If you’re going to recommend something to someone with the implication that it fulfils a specific purpose, it’s not very useful to then tell that person to test for themselves whether or not it actually works. Why should the fact that an illegal file-sharer uses it be an indication that it’s good? At the very least, that doesn’t make it any more likely to resolve or not resolve the issue of the remaining embedded email address. Quote from: sluggy on 20:55:56 sites which share iTunes plus albums use itObjection: relevance. Of course, if iTMS Scrubber or some other application turns out to be a ready solution that would be better still. With some luck you might be able to find somebody willing to write the program for you for a very small compensation, or even for free. That might be a big timesaver if you need to anonymize a lot of files. I don't know any tools that do this for you, but if it's really something that can be scrubbed out manually with a hex editor then it should be relatively easy to automate with a small home-written program. My apologies for not reading the question carefully enough before posting my first reply. Perhaps the situation has changed, but be wary that simply removing tags apparently was/is not a complete solution. I posted about this several times and asked for an explanation or an automated way to remove it besides scrubbing manually in hex, but no one has ever provided any response. I think iTunes could still find it that way, too. Quote from: db1989 on 17:48:21 No, because iTunes does not present “personal data (email, etc)” as editable/removable, otherwise the OP would have done that already.īlutarsky: From my experience a couple of years ago, other tagging utilities could remove almost everything, but the email address also seemed to be duplicated elsewhere in the file, as viewable by a hex editor even after the offending frames were removed.
