Barbarossa:
'Copy-Paste-X' does not open other files; it is a Multiple
Clipboard Manager.
When you open any document you Highlight the Text or Image you
want and click Commmand+C just as usual.
The difference is that you can do this 10 or 20 times in a row
to get all the Info necessary.
At this very moment I am ripping a 10-CD Book-On-CD with the
following Info:
Artist:
Cornwell, Bernard
Year:
2006
Album:
Sharpe 10.5: Sharpe's Fury
Grouping:
Sharpe and the Siege of Cadiz - Winter 1811
Composer:
Read by Steven Crossley
Notes:
Winter 1811 - An attack on a French held bridge goes
disastrously wrong and Sharpe finds himself in Cadiz under French
siege and culminating at the Battle of Barossa. Sharpe is stuck
with the task of recovering some incendiary letters by any means.
Genre:
Books: Novels - Sharpe
After doing this I fix the Track names with:
#10.5 Sharpe's Fury - Track 09-**
replacing the ** with the Track number (the 09 being the Disk
number.) I usually keep the Track Info in the first (#1) Palette
position so I can just hit Command+V to Paste in the usual manner.
When dealing with individual Track Names and Track Numbers for
multiple songs on one Album, the iTunes Info Box has both a
'Next' and a 'Previous' button so you can go up or down as
necessary.

Barbarossa:
It is best and fastest to do this BEFORE you rip (i.e., onto
the CD Info) but it works the same either way.
In 'iTunes:'
If the Album has the same Info for multiple tracks,
Click/Highlight one of the tracks and then click Command+A to
select 'All.' Then click Command+I to 'Get Info.'
If doing one track at a time Click/Highlight the Track and
click Command+I to 'Get Info.' Then click on the 'Info' Tab.
You can try this a few times without hurting or changing
anything. Play around a bit. Do this on a copy of a Track if you
wish.
You will note that when first opened the 'Info' dialog box has
the first item, 'Artist' highlighted. In my case, I would hold
the cursor over the 'P' palette in CopyPaste and then click on
the P next to the copied artist's name: Cornwell, Bernard
Then click Tab; the Highlight will move to 'Year.' I would then
click on the P in the Palette next to the copied year: 2006
Then click Tab, Tab. This will bring you down to: 'Album.'
I would then click on the P next to: Sharpe 10.5: Sharpe's Fury.
[If the title seems a little arcane to you, it is an early
version of a system I tried to keep things in order. Bernard
Cornwell does NOT write his Sharpe stories in chronological
order.]
And so on until all the info is added.
If you see that something in one of the copied lines needs
changing, you may DoubleClick on the line in the Palette and it
will open in a TextEditor (neat, huh?)
If you wish to eliminate any copied line in a Palette, ShiftClick
on the line and it will disappear. You should also play around
with this, too.
Remember that the usual clicks - Cut, Copy, Paste work in the
usual manner with the exception that 'CopyPaste-X' REMEMBERS the
last 20 or so copies or cuts you made so that you can go back to
them and use them over and over, and even edit them. Also
remember that the LAST thing you copy is always at the top of the
list, and that is what is pasted when you hit Command+V.
Album art may only be added to the Mp3 or M4a AFTER ripping;
you cannot add artwork (or anything else) to a CD.
