... his unwavering spirit is impenetrable against all the odds he has to face. Now, at the age of 26, Nguyen Tien Minh currently ranks 15th worldwide and still goes on striking generations of badminton lovers around the globe with not only awe but also inspirations.

I'm glad it worked! I like iTunes as a sort of virtual Rolodex, but have never been intrigued by the store or any of the latest features. I do like how you can get full-screen cover art, and faster speed is always a plus. One trick (which you probably already know and/or use) to alphabetize by last name (using Al Cohn as an example) is to make "Cohn, Al" the album artist and "Al Cohn" the artist. It actually took me a while to figure that one out. And if you want an album dead last in your Rolodex, simply label only the track name (which can include artist + album + track title), and delete any information in all the other boxes. I do this for some vinyl rips of 45s, so that "singles" go at the end of my iTunes library. Finding original cover art is probably my favorite thing to do when it comes to setting up an iTunes library. And also straightening things out like Kenny Dorham's "Osmosis" = Dave Bailey's "Bash!" I do all this probably out of obsessive compulsive tendencies. And I don't even own an iPod. :blush2:

My mistake. It's not viewable from Preferences. Go to "Get Info" from the drop-down File, and then a window will pop up. The tabs are: Summary ~ Info ~ Video ~ Sorting ~ Options ~ Lyrics ~ Artwork When you click on Sorting, you'll get that song's information (i.e. track name, album name, etc.). You can then enter the criteria you want (e.g. year) in one of the "Sort" boxes (though there's actually no "Sort Year" box; I use the "Sort Album" box). The default for iTunes is to sort alphabetically by artist first name, and then alphabetically by album name. This can be changed with the Sorting feature. I had to play around with it a bit, but now my iTunes library is sorted by artist, and within artist by year. I hope that helps some to clarify!

Have you tried use the "Sorting" tab in preferences? This should remedy the situation, I think. You can keep the artist name the same, but sort using a tag of your creation. For compilations, I just label the artist Various Artists; as a result, all my comps pop up in the V section. But you can sort by any criteria (doesn't have to be alphabetical), as long as you create the criteria.

I upgraded. Disabled the Genius and DJ functions, and it works like a charm. You're right: much faster.

Now $10 — woo-hoo!

I met Bud Shank in 1988. He was the featured guest soloist for Oregon's all-state high school jazz band that year. Unfortunately, at that time, I wasn't aware of his music. He told us some stories about his Kenton days, and that he was kind of pissed (his word) that he initially became known for the flute instead of the saxophone. I can't remember the year he put the flute down, but he said that was a liberating move. To this day, the soundtrack to Slippery When Wet is one of my favorite albums. His short-lived quartet with Gary Peacock is also one of my favorite bands.

of Jensen live. Plus an segment.

I wish that Vanguard LP would have made it to CD. (Did it?) I'd like to hear more of his trumpet playing.

I'm still using version 7 of iTunes. Version 8 is now somewhere around 8.1.1 (or something like that). Is the latest version worth the upgrade? I only use iTunes for music (no movies, TV, etc.), and rarely use the iTunes store itself. Thanks for any comments/suggestions!

Agreed. Anyone who's liked the Jazz in Paris sets should pick this one up. And it is indeed nice that he lived to see the reissue of that set.

Please PM if you have any leads — thanks!

What album is Space Towers? Does it have an alternate title? Year? Never heard of that one. I have Space Probe, but that's probably not it.

There's a Japanese CD out there (can't remember the label) that's called "Sunny" — with about 20 different covers of the tune on it. Dusty Groove used to carry it.

Dear Lord, I didn't know that jpeg was that huge.

I'll admit it.

Reminds me of Swede's great "Ron Verve Goldman" post from several April 1's ago. Did you save that post Swede?

Back in (I think) 2000, I had that happen to me THREE TIMES IN A ROW. It was when Dusty used to sell TOCJs.

I just ordered all three as well. Keeping my fingers crossed! Just got confirmation that all three shipped.

Ordered the Anachronic set, the Crolla, and the Jean-Alain Marie. I hope they all ship!

I'm glad that Mosaic is finally planning a Miff Mole select.
