You use iTunes.
\nYou don’t like how the music cuts to silence when you click to pause a track. You don’t like how un-musical that is.
\nThere’s a ‘script’ to solve that (as long as you use a Mac – If you don’t use a Mac, you should :p). The script fades the music out slowly so you can imagine the musicians leaving on a slow train, the sweet melody tapering off elegantly, rather than feeling like they had been exterminated instantaneously mid-note.<\/p>\n

It is also simple to use. \u00a0I call it Fade<\/strong>, but it’s real name is ‘db iTunes Fade-in\/out’ and David Battino made it.<\/p>\n

There a few more scripts which are really great.<\/p>\n

In the picture you can see the ones I use. You can download them together here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The scripts come with many \u2605kawaii\u2606\u00a0stars but if you don’t like the stars, you can spend a few minutes adjusting the file names<\/a>.\u00a0I can explain what each does:<\/p>\n

Dim<\/h3>\n

Dim fades the music slowly to a quiet level.

Fade<\/h3>\n

Fade fades out the music slowly and pauses the track for you. You can use it again to fade the music back in.

Artist Mediafire Download<\/h3>\n

This searches Mediafire for any uploads of the artist of the song you have selected.

Track Parsers (Clipboard, Song Names)<\/h3>\n

Track 01 by Unknown Artist
\nTrack 02 by Unknown Artist
\nTrack 03 by Unknown Artist<\/p>\n

Look familiar?<\/p>\n

These powerful scripts can take a track listing you copy from Wikipedia or Amazon and name your nameless songs for you.
\nHave a read of the Readme file to get going.<\/p>\n

Search Google Images<\/h3>\n

This super script will do a Google Image Search on whatever song you have selected, so that you can get your library looking good with album artwork.<\/p>\n

I take pride in artwork for all of my month of music but it takes effort, I find setting up a smart playlist that shows music added in the last 2 weeks is great for showing up the music without artwork.<\/p>\n
