Track #
Itunes: Every one of my 12,300 albums have tracks as follows 1 of ? 2 of ? & so On
MC: NOT (That is why my tracks in MC are not always in correct track order) It really needs this feature I have albums that are incomplete & would be useful so I know which tracks are missing.
...
Genre:
Itunes: I have correct Genre for every album/Artist in my iTunes library as well as the files located on my external drive the files are located not Numbers.
MC: NOT (It only shows mostly Numbers) Their is no excuse for this one
...
Their is one thing that Itunes Has that unfortunately That MC does not Tuneup. MC really Needs a program Like TuneUp!
A couple of questions/comments on the above.
Track numbers: Is your issue that MC does not display the ' of yy'? MC and iTunes have identical behavior for me when it comes to track number except iTunes adds the ' of yy' at the end of the field, where 'yy' = the highest track number that you have for that album (not the highest track number that may actually be on that album). I have albums that contain 15 tracks for example, but I only care for and have purchased 2 of them (say 5 and 7) - in this example my iTunes library shows me that I have '5 of 7' and '7 of 7' which is incorrect. There is a field in MC that identifies if you have a 'complete' album or not, but it works in much the same way. In my example above, MC would only be aware of the first 7 tracks - much like iTunes does.
Genre: Really not sure what your complaint is here other than maybe your tag data is messed up. Genres have always worked perfectly fine for me in MC and iTunes both. MC is actually better in that it lets you store multiple values in this field for tracks that fall in to multiple Genres.
TuneUp: This is a third party program, not part of iTunes. Similar plugins have been written for MC in the past, but usually end up getting killed off due to the draconian copyright issues surrounding them. If you know of someone with the expertise and desire to build one, it can be done.
Edit:
It would help to know exactly how you are using the two programs and how you originally digitized your library (or where you purchased the digital files from). Your mention of garbage values and the use of TuneUp makes me think that you have stumbled in to one of the worst things about iTunes - it does not store the tag info in the file itself, it only stores it in the library. If you started with a bunch of tracks with garbage in their tags and then used TuneUp to sort it all out, the only place you have 'fixed' the data is in your iTunes library. MC is reading the values directly from the file tags (like most other programs do), but these still contain garbage since iTunes does not update them.
