My guess is I am not the only one that has duplicate music in my iTunes library. Getting rid of the duplicate music in your library is easy to do however, it is involves some time. Like most people you’re I Tunes music library probably has over a few thousand songs. So using the feature that iTunes gives you to get rid of your duplicate content can really take hours to do.

I came across a site called Rinse by real networks.  This piece of  software  allows you to go through and get rid of all of your duplicate songs with one click of a button.  You can use this software for your Mac or your Windows PC

Not only that but, I am able to fix spelling mistakes and also fix album titles. The best feature that I like about this piece of software is the fact that I can go in and recover all of my album artwork even if iTunes doesn’t even support that particular album image.  Rinse actually goes out over the interment to find the correct album artwork so you have it as part of your album. So no more Blank screens for your album artwork.. Take a look at the video I made , it’s a sample of what Rinse can do.

Are you using Adobe Photoshop?  Well before I was introduced to Corel Painter my prefer drawing and painting program was Adobe Photoshop.  While in school I was first introduced to Corel Painter.  Since most people use Photoshop I thought I would create a quick video that took you inside of Corel Painter.

I don’t get into great detail however.  For all of you folks out there using Photoshop.  You at least get a taste of what Corel painter is all about.

I have found painter as my primary software package for drawing and painting.  I now only use Photoshop at the final stage for color adjusting and effects..  Hope you like!  post a comment I would love to hear from you!
