Following up to Mike Barnes

There is. Select all the tracks you want to change (using Shift+click or
Ctrl+click or by selecting an artist or album in the Browser (Ctrl+B).
Then right-click, Get Info (that's iTunes' weird name for "Properties"),
change whatever you want to change, then click OK.


great, thanks very much. This proves diy not only knows all about diy it
knows all about everything :-)


The true spirit of DIY is to extract the knowledge of the specialist,
and make it available to people of ordinary intelligence and training,
but whose courage and skills are sufficient for the task in hand. ;-)

"An engineer is someone who can make for sixpence, what any damn fool
can make for a quid"


A late great head of a UK civil engineering firm expressed something
else in similar vein "The art of civil engineering is to understand that
the people who do the work, are unsophisticated, but relatively cheap:
To that end the jobs they do are broken down into simple sets of rules
and instructions, which, if more or less slavishly followed, allows a
great work of art or engineering to be constructed by monkeys".

"rules are for the guidance of wise men, and the obedience of fools" to
which I would add, and should be made by those who understand exactly
what the issues are".

Sadly, these days they are made by career politicians who have never
done an honest days work in their lives..
