## Link to iTunes

All selected files which are not currently linked, will be linked to iTunes.

If the Ignore errors option is selected, errors will not be reported. You can use the Linked to iTunes Test function to determine if an error occurred.

The default linking method is based on searching iTunes for metadata contained in the tracks. If you have previously linked a track to iTunes and have retained the iTunes PID, you can elect to link via the retained information. This functionality is primarily intended for users starting to work on tracks contained in iTunes which have little or no metadata. You can drag the tracks from iTunes to Yate, linking them, and save the PID for later use. Note that a retained PID has no meaning in any iTunes library other than the one from which it was obtained. Further, upgrading iTunes to a new version or rebuilding your iTunes database may invalidate any retained PIDs. The PID must be retained in a UDTI named iTunes PID.

Note that it is possible in Preference-iTunes to specify that you prefer linking by PIDs. If that option is set and a PID is present, it will be used even if Use Retained PIDs is not set. You can override the preference for PIDs via the Preferences statement.

The Save iTunes PIDs convenience function can be used to retain a PID after linking normally.

The Remove iTunes PIDs convenience function can be used to remove saved PIDs.

Depending on your Preferences - iTunes settings, it is possible that certain iTunes metadata is also imported to the tracks after successfully linking.
