From Mark Harris, your Guide to Digital Music

In this week's edition of the Digital Music newsletter:

Last Minute Father's Day Gift: Instant Music Credit

If you're short on time and want an instant way of giving a Father's Day gift, then an iTunes Gift Certificate could be the solution. iTunes gift certificates are similar to iTunes Gift Cards in that you can choose a credit amount which can be redeemed for songs, albums, apps, audiobooks, etc. Once you have created your gift certificate, it can be instantly sent via email, or printed out so you can present it in person if you prefer.

HE-AAC Format: Maximize Your iPhone's Music Storage

The HE-AAC format is typically used for delivering digital audio over the Internet where low bitrates are required. Digital music services that stream high quality content at low bandwidths (such as Pandora Radio) and some Internet radio stations use the HE-AAC compression system. But, are there any other uses for this under-used format? One use that springs to mind is using it to maximize the amount of digital music that you can fit on HE-AAC compatible portables -- like the iPhone. HE-AAC files tend to be... Read more


iTunes Tutorial: Manually Adding Lyrics

The built-in metadata editor in iTunes has an option for inserting lyrics into any song. You can either... Read more


Quickly Remove Replicas From Your Music Library

Have you got duplicate songs in your music library that you want to delete the easy way? Instead of manually going through your music collection trying to remember if the next song in the list is a clone, why not use a duplicate file finding program? This digital music tutorial will show you a quick and easy way to remove space-hogging replicas in order to streamline your music library. Read more
