iTunes

iTunes is a free media player available from Apple for both Mac and Windows computers (www.itunes.com). It provides

an excellent way to download, organize, and rip music as well as interfacing with Apple’s famous portable media player,

the iPod.

Torq can interface with iTunes, providing you instant access to your entire collection of music and playlists without having

to manually add folders to the Database. Furthermore, any updates or changes that you make to your iTunes Library or

Playlists will automatically be reﬂected in Torq.

< Library

The iTunes Library is the entire collection of music and videos currently managed by iTunes. You can browse and

search the iTunes Library by clicking the plus sign in front of the iTunes heading in the Browser, then clicking the

Library heading. The contents of the Library will be shown in the File List.

✓ Note: If you have an especially large iTunes Library, it may take a moment for Torq to read the entire contents of

the Library the ﬁrst time you select it in a Torq session.

Once you’ve clicked the Library heading, you can search and sort the Library contents in the same manner as the

Database (described earlier).

< Playlists

iTunes also supports the creation and editing of playlists, but they are a different format from the .m3u format

used by Torq. Not to worry—Torq can still access these playlists through the iTunes heading in the Browser.

Simply click the plus sign in front of Playlists to view them. Click on an individual Playlist to see its contents in the

File List.

< Searching iTunes with the Database

Torq can also automatically add the contents of the iTunes Library to the Database. That way, when you click the

Database heading in the Browser, you’ll get the ﬁles from all folders assigned to the Database as well as all ﬁles

within the iTunes Library. To enable this feature:

1. Open the Preferences.

2. Click the Misc tab.

3. Next to “Search iTunes Library with Database,” select “Yes.”

4. Close the Preferences.

5. Torq will now include the contents of the iTunes Library when you click the Database heading.
