A lot of my best songs come from when I'm bored. I'll pick up my guitar, play some random stuff and come up with a riff I like. Then I'll run upstairs to my computer to record it, and I'll just keep coming up with stuff I like.

Using iTunes, how do you put track names onto Notepad? My friend showed me once but I forget how.

To export all the song information into a text file, select Library or a playlist in the Source list, then choose File > Export Song List. Make sure "Text files" is selected in the "Save as type" pop-up menu.

All information from the Info window for each song is exported, not just the fields currently displayed in the library or playlist.

To copy the information (in the columns that are visible) for just one song, select the song and choose Edit > Copy, then choose Edit > Paste in another application (for example, an email or text document).

Thanks. I accidentally exported the song lists for my entire library.. heh.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]We wrote a song last night...wrote, recorded, and produced a 1 minute song in 20 minutes last night. Ultra tr00 black metal in the vein of INM.[/QUOTE]
I can write 1 minutes songs fine, It's just writing longer ones that sucks.

Hey does anyone know of any MP3-to-car hookups that work for an MP3 player other than an iPod?

My gf just bought me one but it only works for iPod...I wouldn't mind getting an iPod but I don't want to buy one too quickly

[QUOTE=Happy]I can write 1 minutes songs fine, It's just writing longer ones that sucks.[/QUOTE]

Start a grindcore band. Or a hardcore punk band.

He's got an idea there...

Indeed. For an example of how writing one minute songs can be awesome:

Either that or iTrip.

Hardcore and grind are normally short song genres, yes, but you can make really short songs for any genre.

Short prog songs?

That'd be like 3/4: 60 bpm, then 12/16: 150 bpm and to finish 5/8 at 210 bpm all in one minute. I'll try that.

Haha, I kinda left out prog, but it's not really a genre in its own, you know? Bands of any genre can be prog, this is like the anti-prog.

You can use a tape deck converter. I use tape deck converter that came with a car ready portable CD player in my Creative Zen.

Good idea.

Or you could be like Townsend (who I just reviewed), and have like 5 actual songs and about 8 or 9 transition songs.

Devin Townsend's Synchestra. Go comment.

Transition songs? You mean like songs in between songs?

I was nice and commented. ;)

:p

Oh ok. You should also leave out Doom, you can't create ambient in one minute either. :-/

Album of the year.

Sure thing, brotha.

All I did was look it up in iTunes' help file and then copy-paste everything :p

Yes, yes you are.


Damn you GI(Vince, right?) for seeing DT, that must have been the most incredible thing ever...[I]all [/I]of 6DOIT:amaze:

Hey thread.

Remind me to never bake out my room at 3:30 on a Sunday, my parents came home as I was shutting my window.

This is the same as Hotboxing, right?

Whats up everyone ?

I had a weekend away filled with music, guitar and Mortal Kombat 4 :) Very fun !

You should never bake out you room period. I always ride around or do it outside.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]This is the same as Hotboxing, right?[/QUOTE]

Hot boxing?

New Eternal Tears of Sorrow comes out in 23 days.

Is anybody else psyched?

EDIT:

Brian; I normally don't bake out my room, I normally smoke in the garden outside my window, for some reason I didn't today though.

NP: Vreid - Wrath of Mine

Hot boxing is when you get a room and completely fill it up with smoke. can be in a wardrobe or suchlike too.

So it's clam baking, ok.

Nice term, no, I wasn't hot boxing it, just smoking in it... unfortunately the wind was blowing into my window :upset:.

I didn't get caught so I'm good now.

I was just watching MST3K on Winamp. In the episode "Gamera vs Zigra" they ended with genre variations on the Gamera theme song. The mads did a metal version and TV's Frank reminded me of the vocalist from Send More Paramedics.

Weird.
