If you are using a folder-based library, you will also loose all playlist information.

into the audio files themselves, check the corresponding option in beaTunes' general preferences. Usually that's color, key, decimal fractions of the BPM, language, PUIDs and tags. Importantīy deleting the internal beaTunes database, you lose all data that isn't stored in iTunes or the audio files themselves. These paths are valid for beaTunes 2.1 or later. To navigate to it, you can simply type it into the Explorer navigation bar or tell Explorer to show hidden files.

Note that on Windows the Windows Explorer may hide the folder AppData from you. You can get to it by opening a Finder window and clicking on the little house icon.Īlso, starting with version 10.7 (Lion), OS X hides the Library folder from you. On macOS/OS X the directory denoted as or ~ is not your harddrive, but your home directory.

If recovery does not work, deleting the database may be the only option.ĭeleting beaTunes' internal database does not harm iTunes/Music.app or its database or your songs in any way. To recover the database, please see Database Corruption Recovery. If beaTunes displays an error message mentioning a GenericJDBCException the internal database may have gotten corrupted. I haven't tried this with a box set that includes iTunes LPs, but I have edited metadata for individual albums with iTunes LPs without breaking them.After an unintended shutdown, a power outage or an application crash, beaTunes may not start up properly anymore. For example I've taken the 4-disc recording of Purcell's Dido & Aeneas, King Arthur and The Fairy Queen and turned it into 3 individual albums (each with the same artwork) and I've taken the 3 disc Remains Of Tom Lehrer and reconstructed his 5 original albums, with their respective artwork, leaving the remaining bonus tracks under the box set cover.

A method that I sometimes use for box sets is to ignore the artificial breaks that might have previously been caused by limited CD or vinyl size and create one album in iTunes for each album or musical work with all its tracks in the correct order. It would seem that all tracks are listed with the same box set artwork under the album name of The Beatles Box Set, rather than being presented as the individual albums that comprise the set. I don't have this particular item, but it does seem looking in the iTunes Store that it comprises some 250 tracks, 15 iTunes LPs and 15 videos. Presumably in the case of this box set there is also an iTunes LP that lists each of the individual albums and links into their respective iTunes LPs. The iTunes LP itself only works in iTunes, but the tracks of the album should be able to sync to your device like the tracks of any other album. There will also be a page that can be used to play the tracks of the album.
#BEATUNES NOT SYNCING UPDATE#
The good news is, that if you own a beaTunes 5.x license you only have to update to the latest 5.x version, which is compatible with Music.app. It is essentially a small self-contained website that can contain related text, images, lyrics, notes, and other media. Since the new Music.app has a different application programming interface (API), third party apps like beaTunes cannot communicate with it without modification. An iTunes LP is some additional content that can be bundled with an album.
