Here is a simple guide to tell you how to identify
INTOUCHED M4A & M4V: Right click on M4A or M4V in iTunes, select “Get
Info”:
- Kind must be “Purchased AAC audio file” for M4A, “Purchased MPEG-4 video file” for M4V
- Bit Rate must be “256 kbps” (this apply for M4A only, M4V will have various Bit Rate respectively).
- Purchase by, Account Name, Purchase Date all must have complete informations. Any of these data is missing considered touched.
- Right click on your iTunes top column and check the “Release Date“, all UNTOUCHED M4A and M4V will have release date.
- All UNTOUCHED M4A & M4V should have official “Artwork“, M4A can still get Album Artwork from iTunes store if it being deleted, but for M4V, there’s no way to get Artwork from iTunes store after it being deleted, so it’s important to keep the original Artwork.
- Changing
editable information like title, track number, comment, lyrics… is not consider
as TOUCHED the M4A or M4V cause this is what iTunes allow the user to do it.
I hope this clear everyone’s doubt about what I so call UNTOUCHED items. So:
- All iTunes files shared on my blog are Untouched.
- Touched files will be specified!
- I don't post recoded files.
- If you have any untouched items that I posted in touched, please share it with me!!!
- Please report (simply leave a comment) if you found any touched/recoded items being “accidentally” posted without specification and I will replace/remove it immediately!
Enjoy!
Max
