Geek Tip: Getting The Ideal iTunes Equalizer Settings
Here's one of those "always good to know tips" from Mac OSX Hints that may in fact make your music sound better with improved balance.

Geek Tip: Fast and Easy iTunes Shortcuts
I love learning quick shortcuts for various applications, especially when it means I don't have to use my mouse to adjust settings, etc. To quickly adjust the volume in iTunes, just place your mouse arrow over the top of the horizontal volume bar.

How to Copy Files to iTunes Without Saving to Your Hard Drive
This weekend I wanted to copy some movies that I had ripped with Handbrake to my Apple TV, and to do so, I had to copy the movies to iTunes first from my external hard drive.
No big deal, except that usually when you copy things to iTunes, the files also automatically save to your internal hard drive — a huge pain if you have limited drive space there.
Luckily, I discovered a very simple tip to avoid an unnecessary new file being created and stored.
Geek Tip: Use TuneUp to Clean Up Your iTunes
If you have an iTunes library that's missing a few beats (you know, like artist info, track names, and album cover art), then you must head over to TuneUp. 'Cause not only is it a drag to spend hours loading up your iTunes library with all your vintage (read: oh-so-early millennium) CDs that you just can't let go of (or albums that you've had burned to discs), but it's even worse to have to go back and enter all the track names and artist info. Now, TuneUp does all that work for you.
Pepsi Apologizes For "Scoring" iPhone App Via Twitter

Not Lame at All: How to Import CDs Without Losing Any Quality
Audiophiles, take note: Did you know that there is a world outside of iTunes when it comes to ripping your CDs? Instead of simply using iTunes to import your music, you can download LAME (the worst name for the coolest download). I can't say I've ever noticed, but apparently you lose a bit of the sound quality when you rip to iTunes, whereas LAME is a "loss-less" encoder, so you retain the sound quality when you convert your tunes to MP3s.
Geek Tip: Tag Your iTunes With Moody
Similar to what we experienced with Musicovery, where you search web radio according to your mood, Moody allows you to tag the tunes you already have by the way they make you feel.
Tags are color coded and their names are customized any way you want them to be. Have tons of Al Green?

Being a bride-to-be is joyful and exciting, but there's no denying that planning for the big day can be really stressful. You have so much to think about: flowers, the ceremony, invitations, your dress, the cake, and the honeymoon. Planning the wedding can be as much work as a full-time job!
