Hello Again;
iTunes,the program widely used and freely available on the Internet.Some folk embrace and use it,and others want nothing to do with it.It is almost a necessity for synchronizing (synching or adding) downloaded files to an iPod or other brand of mp3 player.Actually,iTunes is a great organizer…….What are known as “playlists” can be created in whatever amounts desired and used to place for example VFC messages into categories or groups……………….such as various conferences,various Bible study subjects,various speakers,and just about any groupings you wish to choose.Here on the VFC homefront there was one seeming issue that we wanted to change……the sorting of VFC speaker names to a Lastname-Firstname basis rather than the iTunes default of Firstname-Lastname………..as in our wanting Doe John rather than John Doe.Messages by any speaker were much easier to locate either in iTunes itself,or on an mp3 player after being added,when sorted by last name.
Being busy with tapes and generating mp3 files from them we perhaps did not spend enough time learning some iTunes basics.We took a quick look but did not find help on how to proceed………so we made a second copy of ALL VFC files and manually changed the speaker names ourselves,and then added them to iTunes.
Well,later we learned a much easier method……..that of right clicking on iTunes messages,then choosing “Get Info”……We could now change John Doe to Doe John.
We mention all this in case copies of downloaded messages are kept for later hearing……….and perhaps placed on an mp3 player.
WE say with emphasis that we ARE NOT an authority on using iTunes in general,but if you have questions perhaps someone among those that make up the “VFC Team” can help……just email us at info@VoicesForChrist.org and until next time,tell others we are here.
Warmly In Christ,The VFC Team
