If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for ways to make your life easier. And one of the easiest ways to do that is to automate your iTunes episode data.
iTunes is a great tool for managing your media, but one of the things that can be a bit tedious is keeping your episode data up to date. If you’re not familiar with episode data, it’s the information that iTunes uses to keep track of your episodes, like the show name, episode name, air date, etc.
Fortunately, there’s a way to automate this process so that you don’t have to do it manually. And it’s actually pretty simple.
The first thing you need to do is find a good episode data source. There are a few different ones out there, but I like to use theTVDB.com. They have a pretty good selection of data, and it’s always up to date.
Once you have a data source, you need to download a program that can help you automate the process. I like to use a program called “Episode Data Automator” (EDA). It’s a pretty simple program, but it gets the job done.
Once you have EDA, open it up and point it to your data source. Then, select the show that you want to update. EDA will then go through and update all of the episode data for that show.
And that’s it! It’s really that simple. By using a program like EDA, you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle when it comes to keeping your iTunes episode data up to date.
