There should be individual Explicit warnings on tracks when loaded onto itunes
shackfan

I am sticking my daughters Drake cd on my itunes and notice there is the usual advisary sticker on it. Now I have found that quite often it is just one f word on one track. It is quite possible I will play some of these tracks in my shop and obviously dont want to offend anyone. If when i loaded the cd in my itunes it would be SO helpful if the offending tracks were highlighted somehow then I would just untick them. One obvious track I havent loaded to be safe is Hyfr (hell yeah f*****g right) with Lil Wayne, but I'm guessing there are others
Maybe I should write to Apple

Actually it really bugs me when I hear a track on the radio, only to download it or take it off an album to discover there is really bad language in it.

If you download it off itunes and it has offensive language in it (even if it only has one bad word) there is a red label on the song with explicit (I think) written on it, this is only on the itunes menu when you're looking for songs to buy though

I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting, but I don't think any Drake song would be appropriate to play in a shop unless you can find radio edits of them to download. I can't think of any Drake songs that don't have swearing or drug references in.

Hmm, thanks. Maybe I won't be listening to him in public then.

Yes, this is correct. I've just checked and the Drake album has EXPLICIT next to every song, whereas an album I know that has some songs that are "explicit" and others that aren't only has EXPLICIT next to the songs that contain adult language.

So you can use the iTunes store to check whether a song is considered EXPLICIT or not.

No offence meant but... People like you make me want to bang my head against a wall. Repeatedly.

What? For not wanting to play songs with the f word n word or word in public.
Wow you are really strange
Feel free to explain yourself fully

I can see both sides of your argument here.
I understand that you don't want your daughter to hear explicit language, neither did my Mum when I was young. The problem is now that the F word and explicit language are becoming more and more used and is becoming harder not to come across.

Sorry I think you got crossed wires here. My daughter is old enough (at college) to not be worried by it. It is ME who wants to put them on my ipod and maybe play in my shop.If when loading cd onto itunes a symbol came up next to the tracks with explicit language then I wouldnt copy them over.
