Toast Titanium 10

[JoyofLiving]

Hi...we are running Max OSX 10.5.8

We have Toast 10.0.7

ITunes 9.2.1.

 

We used to be able to drag an individual song from Itunes to Toast. Now it will only allow us to drag "playlists". We have used disk utility and repaired preferences, we have restarted the mac, we have uninstalled and reinstalled Toast (an run all the updates)...it still won't allow the drag & drop feature). Can you help?

All the tracks reside in an Itunes library on an external HD. When I open media browser it reads the Itunes library from the HD even though that is not my selected default library, the one on the external drive is. We have reinstalled software and done all the updates, but I can't drag individual tracks directly from the open Itunes library. Creating playlists are the only way and because of several factors this would be a long a laborious process for all the tracks (they are lectures by different speakers on similar subjects & one series involves several CDs) Any suggestions.

You are correct that tracks cannot be dragged from the iTunes window to Toast. The only thing that can be dragged to Toast are the Playlists including the entire "Music" list. I don't know if replacing the iTunes Music Folder with an alias that points to your actual library (delete "alias" from the folder name) will fool Toast into looking for its actual location, but it's worth a try.

 

You also can select and drag multiple tracks directly from iTunes to a folder in the Finder and then drag that folder to Toast.

 

Other than that, maybe there is an applescript at dougscripts.com that can make it easier for you to export files from iTunes so they can be found by Toast.

Use the Toast Media Browser to access the tracks in the iTunes library. Choose Audio with the top button of the Media Browser. If the button just below the top button is set to "Library" it will display all the tracks. You can sort the browser display by artist, song or time. When you place the cursor over a title a popup will display other metadata including album name.

 

That said, I have no problem dragging tracks directly from the iTunes library in the Finder to Toast. Naturally, Toast cannot accept iTunes Music Store purchases because Apple doesn't let third party applications use the copy protected music. Those tracks can only be burned to audio CD using iTunes (after which the copy protection is removed so the CDs tracks can be used by Toast).

just upgraded to toast 10.0.7 can't drag and drop from iTunes. very frustrating and slow . can go through media - but why - it used to be so easy .

the instruction booklet says just drag and drop. should work . seems like we're going backwards.

any assistance appreciated.

Same problem ( I uninstalled and reinstalled) dragging the files from i-Tunes into toast. I suspect the new update for i-Tunes prohibited such features?!? Did anybody figure this problem out?
