add fileextensions to your keyword filter

it's in Tools>Options>Filters>Keywords

eg. .mpg

Press add after anything you write there and press Apply and OK when finshed adding things. Also if specific names keep popping up then just add those as well

IT still isn't working. I did the whole keyword thing and I still get only videos.

Do you get videos of the same format that you have allready added to the keyword filter ? Did you remember to type the period before the extension while adding them

Try searching for only .mp3 and tell us what results you get

What are the file extensions of these video files? What makes you think they are video (is it their icons or something else)? Are you doing an audio type search for an All Types search or a Video type search?

Have You Tired The File Then AVI Most Movies Files Are MPG Or AVI That Might Help

"(is it their icons or something else)? Are you doing an audio type search for an All Types search or a Video type search?" It has the little video icon in front of the title. And I serch for stuff in the audio thing and it still comes up all videos.

"Have You Tired The File Then AVI Most Movies Files Are MPG Or AVI That Might Help"
umm, so look for what I want in all files then type in AVI?

HA! I am a genious! Well, not really (I don't even think I spelt genious right), but I realized that if u insert a blank CD in, then after the video reaches 100 %, u click on it, then u can just burn it to CD. Then just copy the CD on to Itunes :)

daley2 September 5th, 2006 03:55 PM

Oh snap! I am even more of a genious!!! (Again, not sure if I spelled that right) but if you look for m4a, then it comes up all audio :)

:D I am pretty sure that you would not need to copy the files to CD to get them to be audio files. It's much more likely that you have associated some mediaplayer that uses some kind of video icon with mp3 files.

If you are using a PC then go to your library in Limewire and highlight a song, then press Explore and a new folder opens up. Right-click on one of the files that you thought were video and choose open with and then all programs or program (depending on language). Choose iTunes and check the box that says "Always use....." then press OK.

The next time that you start your PC you should have an iTunes icon on all mp3 files in Limewire ;)

m4a format is also known by other extensions depending on the player you use. eg: Winamp uses mp4. The problem with that is such an extension can also be mpeg 4 video. iTunes Music Store use m4p (p=protected.) m4a = mpeg 4 audio. mp4 audio & m4a extensions are interchangeable. Nero even confuses it more because of Nero's use of mp4 as DVD subtitles (Vobsub). Nicely explained here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4a

:D Are you deliberatly trying to confuse Daley2 even more LOTR :D

Okay, wayyyyy too much technical information. What's Nero, is it okay to use m4a songs on Itunes,and whats an extension?

Sleepless September 6th, 2006 11:25 PM

Nero is a burning program for CDs and DVDs(probably the most popular one for windows)

m4a is an extension. So is mp3, wma, avi, bin, cue, etc. It's the format of the file

And yes it's OK to use m4a in iTunes
