I would recommend a different method. Assuming you have your library organized the way you want it (on your Windows PC)... in Itunes, go to File and Import. It will ask you for a destination (e.g., where is the library you're moving it from) and just let it do its thing. How extensive is your library? As I mentioned previously I would screenshot it before your import so you know exactly what you have.

I did before it came out and they said they have no plans for CD.

I tolerated the Ernie Andrews piece but that was the downside.

Ultra Studio is overkill in my opinion. Even a lot of the tech reviewers I trust on Youtube are like... "I will never use all the power in this thing..." not to mention the price... I have the Mac Studio base model and it's more than enough....

Listened to it in the car...Excellent.. Wish it was longer with maybe another set...

I just don't get why so much live material is ONLY available by buying vinyl.

One other point... I don't know which Mac the OP purchased (or if it was new)... but two years ago Apple started producing machines with their own chips (called Apple Silicon instead of Intel). These machines (Macbooks, Imac and Mac Studio) are MUCH better than the Intel models. If the OP has an M1 or M2 they should be fine for a while. If they purchased an Intel model, I'd return it and get an M1 or M2.

Okay... to the OP... Unfortunately, I have a lot to say about this as I did it years ago. Like many of us, I've got tons of stuff. Originally I had 4000 Cds which I had burned to digital mp3s. I have to suggest a few things NOT to do. To me the essential things in order are... 1) Have multiple backups. 2) DO NOT subscribe to Apple's Itunes Match service EVER. It completely screwed up many of my boxed sets and imports as Apple uses the titles/cover art/discographical info on its servers. In cases like our music and probably classical... It gets that info wrong a lot and it overwrites whatever was originally entered. 3) I would also NOT subscribe to Apple Music (even when there are free trials). Yes, it lets you play whatever you want and I've found that helpful in deciding whether or not I want to buy a new release BUT...... Once you've downloaded something from Apple Music it becomes very difficult (at least for me) to remember what I purchased or what I "borrowed" from Apple Music. I'm already down that rabbit hole and have become kinda obsessive about not downloading stuff from that store unless I purchased it. 4) Once you've managed to do the migration, in Itunes click on the View tab, scroll down, and select "Show Status Bar." That will show the totals of what you have. I took a screenshot of mine a year or so ago, so I always knew what the right size was... (see attached). 5) DO NOT use another program like Amazon Music... (That compounded my problem).... Write down your questions and try to find a really good person at the closest Apple store who's a music person. I've lost a fair amount of stuff with Apple's Itunes mess... but overall Mac is better than Windows.

Okay, am I missing something? I know vinyl is the thing behind Record Store Day but I don't recall any jazz release like this, where you can ONLY get 3 bonus hours of digital music from buying a vinyl set... WTF??? 😕

Is it my imagination or does the packaging/set-up seem extremely unimaginative (aka flimsy)? I don't have any of these records but compared to some of the more recent Mingus releases.... Seems kinda cheap.... Am I missing something? Okay I just gave a listen to the one track that's available... Not feeling it... Who's the vocalist?

Do we know anything about this release today?

Wow... I don't know what to say... I'm grateful for the musical legacy he left us.

Discs 7 and then random... Kinda needed this today...

Very nice.

I'm the most interested in Charles McPherson, Charles Lloyd, Joshua Redman, John Scofield, and Kurt Elling. I haven't seen Diana Krall in ages and have not had the chance to check out the Kamasi Washington scene. I'm also curious about Somi and Samara Joy. I might stick around for Herbie who likely will be the last act of the weekend.

https://newportjazz.org/lineup I for one, am much more excited this year. I'll be there all three days. There's still a lot of "who the hell is that???" BUT.. they got some of the old-timers as well... I'm very intrigued. It's felt like the last few years I had no idea who their artists were... It seems like a more mixed lineup this year of established jazz musicians and a few crossovers and newbies... Anybody on this board, recommend who I should check out (of the newbies)?

Do you have the 3cd box? How does this compare? Even though it's cheaper - I'm leaning against as I have a lot of Jim Hall.

Thanks... greatly appreciated and great find!

So the basic punch line is that this is the first time, the Bill Evans estate will actually get their monies? Is that right? If so, then I'm glad I pre-ordered.

What do you mean?

I was also there. Good show. Billy Harper was so impressive.

What label is putting this out? Legit one?

Now that the JATP box is out.. I'm wondering if you guys have any info on the next couple of Mosaic releases. What are they working on and ETA? thanks.
