I agree 100% with JL's post.

If you're serious about your music library, avoid iTunes at all costs, and get yourself a serious music library management program.

I use mp3tag to manage the tags in my files, Winamp to do searches for a particular song, artist, or album, and foobar2000 to do day-to-day stuff. All three are free, and won't do anything unexpected that will destroy your library. There are many more out there, but these will get you started.]]> Sat, 09 Jul 2016 13:46:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7529&PID=45865&title=billy-joel-piano-man#45865 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7529&PID=45860&title=billy-joel-piano-man#45860 Author: JL328

Not sure
what you're getting at, but it sounds like you may be uploading your
music to a cloud and trying to use iTunes Match?

If you care at all about the differences between single vs. album versions,
as most of us here do, iTunes Match is a disaster since it will often replace
any song you upload from your personal cd collection with the version
that exists in the iTunes library. iTunes Match does not readily
distinguish between different versions of the same song and will just
replace what you upload with whatever it has.

iTunes (US) does not have the single version of "Piano Man" available for
purchase. So, if you have the CD "Piano Man: The Very Best of Billy Joel"
(which has the single version of "Piano Man") and you're trying to upload it
to your personal iTunes library and using iTunes Match, it really wouldn't
shock me that it's replacing the single version of "Piano Man" with one of
the many examples of the album version that exists in the iTunes
database. That's how iTunes Match works and that's why I don't use it--
it's a disaster if you care about maintaining different versions of songs. ]]> Sat, 09 Jul 2016 04:18:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7529&PID=45860&title=billy-joel-piano-man#45860 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7529&PID=45854&title=billy-joel-piano-man#45854 Author: michaelwatkins

Thanks Aaron. Since we are on the subject can you or anyone else
describe the mix differences? I believe this was the case with "The
Entertainer" as well.   

Update: never mind found the details here:

Yes, it can, but I cannot recall the edits. It's been many years since I created my file, but I recall that the mix is the same between the short promo edit and the commercial 45 (i.e. different from LP version/mix).]]> Fri, 29 Jan 2016 12:45:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7529&PID=44950&title=billy-joel-piano-man#44950 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7529&PID=44949&title=billy-joel-piano-man#44949 Author: chendagam

Can the 3:15 promo re-issue be edited down from the 45 version found on
"Piano Man: The Very Best of Billy Joel" import CD?

Tpsea, welcome to the forum!

Guys like Ron (aka crapfromthepast; "Hitmakers" former radio broadcast
music source) and AaronK ("TM Century" radio broadcast music service)
are both very well acquainted with, and have large collections of, the discs
from these popular series.

The general rule that Pat that long adopted for version
recognition/inclusion in his db, has been an "official" label release only.
That would include either a stock and/or promo 45, a cassette single, an
LP and/or full-length CD, or a commercial CD single, maxi-single, or
promo CD single. (Also, on rare occasions, a label has sent out a unique
edit to radio, via reel-to-reel tape only, such as George Michael's "I Want
Your Love", by Columbia, in 1987.)

Over the years, numerous "unique radio edits" have been discovered, on
the many discs that Ron, Aaron and others own, of this type. And while it
is always interesting to note/hear about these (and it has turned out that
some do, in fact, match up with a not-previously-known, promo CD
single version release, for example), the fact that a unique version has
been found to ONLY appear on, say, a TM Century disc, has not been
enough, by itself, for it to be considered as an "officially released by the
record label" version, for our purposes here. ]]> Sun, 07 Jul 2013 06:08:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7529&PID=38370&title=billy-joel-piano-man#38370
