iTunes icon Transferring to iTunes

When you decide to transfer a document to iTunes you have the opportunity to define the song name, artist, album and genre for the track that's created. iSpeak It remembers your prior artist, album and genre entries so you can define them once and use them for all of your documents.

The album is taken from the file name or web feed that was loaded. News, Weather and Directions are automatically put in albums titled News, Weather and Directions respectively. Under most circumstances this is all you need so it's likely you can let iSpeak It take care of the album name.

The playlist can be used to define where to put the track. Leave the playlist blank if you don't want the track in a playlist.

You can use the Encoder setting to determine what format iTunes will use to convert your document. This setting is independent of your iTunes import preferences; your iTunes preference remain unchanged. You can keep your iTunes encoder set to import CDs while ensuring that iSpeak It uses the most appropriate encoder for speech.

Tracks can be made bookmarkable in that they remember their last location in the track when you stop listening to it. This options allows you to listen to a document, stop to listen to something else and then come back to it and continue where you left off. You also have the option of making AAC encoded documents Audiobooks so that they appear with (and can be manipulated as) Audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store.

You can also delete an existing track with the same name since iTunes won't automatically overwrite an existing track. If you choose not to delete existing tracks then you can end up with numerous news tracks (for example) instead of simply refreshing the track every time you do a download. The actual file will be moved to the Trash (it's what iTunes does when you delete a song from your library).

You also have access to advanced Document Processing options that are applied prior to transferring a document to iTunes. Note that you must activate the application of replacement rules in order to have breaks extended.
