Editing Lyrics for Multiple Songs

is it possible to edit lyrics for more than one song at a time. it is very annoying to right click each song then click the lyrics tab and editing the lyrics in there. thank you!

I assume you mean being able to add the same lyrics to the same song that appears multiple times in your library (album version, live version, etc.)?
I don't think there is a way other than entering something in the search box to narrow the list to those songs only, click the first one, Get Info, Lyrics tab, paste in lyrics, then hitting the NEXT button on the bottom to go to the next track which will open still in the lyrics tab so you can paste again, next, paste, next, paste, etc.

Ability to Edit info for multiple Songs seems missing in iTunes 12

From a review of this forum, it appears that iTunes 12 no longer permits editing of certain fields for multiple songs.
Formerly, one could select any group of songs and, via using Get Info, edit virtually any field for all songs at the same time.
In iTunes 12 this ability seems missing for certain fields.
Am I missing something or is this highly useful feature now gone?
I can't seem to get a clear picture of this from current forum posts.
Thanks for any comments.

marked as solving problem.
did not mean to do that as use of 3rd party scripts should not be necessary for such a core function in itunes
apple need to restore that basic feature. I will submit a request to them directly.

How do I change the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

How do I chnage the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

I don't think you can in iTunes.
Multiple editing in Get Info does not offer an option to change start/stop times.

Editing lyrics in multiple files

This is not an option in iTunes as far as I can tell. I also can't find any 3rd party application to edit multiple files' lyrics at once. I'd like to be able to choose a group of songs, and edit the lyrics to be the same for that batch in one shot without having to edit one file at a time. *I use Apple Lossless format and need any 3rd party editor to support that type.*
Anyone know a way to do this? I don't want automatic searches, I want to have control over the content of those fields. With any luck, Apple will add this as a multiple file-editing option like they did with the sort fields in the last update. I was glad to see that!
Thanks and I hope someone can suggest a solution!

I just added the ability to edit the Lyrics of all selected tracks to this program:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/index.html#itunes_info
WARNING: This program is so ugly, it may damage your retinas! You may wish to cover your eyes and peek through your fingers to lessen the damage.
If you don't know what Perl is, just get the "exe" version, which will download as a zip. Extract the ZIP to a folder.
Select the tracks you want to change in iTunes, then run the itunes_info.exe. Check the box beside the Lyrics field and type or paste the lyrics you want. Then click OK.
The lyrics for all the selected tracks will be changed to whatever you put in the box.
The forum TOS requires me to say: "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link" because I have a paypal donation link on my webpage, but the program is free (donation totally optional)

How Do I put in the same image for multiple songs on iTunes

Hi,
I know if I click on the song on "info", I am able to change the album image. Is there a way for me to select multiple songs and do a bulk change with the same image?
Thanks.

Yes.
Select multiple songs, get info and paste the artwork.
Or select multiple songs and drag the artwork to the artwork window at the lower left of iTunes.

One player for multiple songs on webpage. How do I do it?

I have multiple songs listed on a webpage and I'm looking for a way to listen to them without opening a new page eveytime you click on a song. It doesn't have to be a fancy player interface.
Something that allows the viewer to continue reading the contents, of that same page, while listening to their song of choice.
Also, can someone suggest a way to present the songs for listening only, while disallowing the ability to download the actual file?
Thanks,
Keith

Updating info for multiple songs at the same time?

Is there a way to highlight multiple songs and change info for the songs at the same time without having to do it for each individual song? Example: changing the album or the genre for a batch of songs?
Thanks.

Michael,
You can shift-click to make a continuous selection or command-shift to make a discontinuous selection.
Then choose Get Info from the file menu.

How do I organize my itunes library so that album name only shows up once for multiple song?

When I view the songs in my itunes library, it appears that album names appear multiple times even though they are the same album. (that I may have added to my itunes library at different times).
For example: For U2 album War, there are multiple songs in my library which I downloaded or uploaded in my itunes album at different times. Now the album War under artist U2, appears multiple times. How do I organize and make songs that belong in the same album appear under the album once so when I choose the specific album, all the songs are available there so I can listen to it all or shuffle it within the album. I don't want single songs under the same album names. It is very irritating. Please help to organize my itunes library better, I have a large album and it would be much easier if the album names would appear once when I have multiple songs for that album. Thanks!

Each tune gets a file name - that is how iTunes works. iTunes is a data base manager.
In a PlayList a reference is created that will link to a specific tune.
You can take the tunes that you do not want listed under a particular album name and change the album name using 'Get Info' for that tune(s) from the iTunes window.

Patch Setup For Multiple Songs / Digitech GNX 4 (two questions)

Hello,
As per the title this is a two-question question.
1. A little bit of background: I play in a band and I've been using my laptop with MIDI controller since May. My current method is simple and a bit of a jury rig, but it works. We have a repertoire of about 80 songs for which I've created separate GarageBand files for each song containing each sound needed for a tune in a separate recording track. Of late, I've been needing a way to use two controllers to control two sounds and so I've just gotten Logic Studio and have been futzing with MainStage. My question is as follows:
It seems that theoretically I could make one Project file and literally load patches sorted by song for our entire repertoire, but it would cause my computer to be ridiculously slow since I only have 1GB RAM. Because I only have 1GB should I just make separate Project files for each song or is there a way I can load everything in one file without making the computer be slow? I do plan on upgrading the RAM to 4GB if this all works out.
2. I also have a Digitech GNX4. It has a USB port for computer recording and it's worked with Garage Band. Can I assume it will work with the guitar effects of MainStage? (The USB port is broken and since I haven't really needed it, I haven't had it repaired. If the GNX4 does work with MainStage, you can bet it's going to the repair center).
I've loaded some of the guitar effect presets that have like 20+ patches and it takes a long time to load which I'm guessing is tied to only having 1GB RAM.
Thanks for anyone's help.
+My Gear apart from laptop:+
+- M-Audio Keystation 88es+
+- M-Audio KeyStudio 49+
+- M-Audio Oxygen 49 (just bought, arriving tomorrow and will most likely be returning the KeyStudio if it works well)+
+- Digitech GNX4 guitar effects processor+

Right (as MIDI controller). I was speaking about that solely as able to use the amp modeling features of Main Stage.
My RAM should be arriving on Wednesday, upgrading from 1GB to 3GB
I have two MIDI controllers; M-Audio Keystation 88es and Oxygen 61.
My live situation is 95% keys (my various sounds split between the two controllers), and just running my guitar clean direct to amp for the few tunes when I use it (my guitar is a Rickenbacker 360-12). We're starting a few new songs where I'll have to use my six string so that's why I was curious if my GNX4 via USB can, again, use the amp modeling for those few songs. It's on it's way to the repair shop so it'll be a few weeks before I can test it.

How do I get to see the lyrics for a song?

On my old iPod I just pressed the center button in the wheel to get them to view. I tap the screen of my iPod Touch, while a song with lyrics is playing, and nothing appears. Am I doing something wrong?

I was having the same problem with my iPod where some lyrics would look really nice and others would be just some massive paragraph. When I called apple support, the guy told me to go on the internet and find the lyrics, THEN paste them in to Microsoft word or text edit or pages (some word processing application) and format the lyrics the way you want them to look, THEN paste the lyrics from the document to itunes. Then, they will look the way you want on the iPod. This is basically kind of a copyright thing, and this is a way to get around it.

Editing info for multiple files in Itunes, not working

Ok, first off, I'm a BRAND NEW Mac user and having a few problems crossing over. Here's the deal...
I've got an external hard drive with about 200 Gigs of music all in separate folders. I'm loading all my songs into Itunes, but keeping them copied only to my external drive...no problem.
However, some of the songs in Itunes are showing up with no artist and/or album names because this info is not in the ID3 tags (im assuming) of the mp3s.
When I goto "get info" and try to manually type in the artist name/album name and click "ok"...NOTHING CHANGES. They still show up in the list blank. Why aren't my edits to the files changing? How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for all your help everyone!

Does it matter that this drive used to be used only on my windows machine?
Yes it does.
Post over here and ask about it -> http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1225
See if it is formatted FAT32 or NTFS and include that info.

Computer Authorization for Multiple Songs

I recently had to reformat my hard disk due to spyware problems, and of course then had to re-install all my software, including I-Tunes. I have purchased several hundred songs from I-tunes, and now each time I try to play one of them on my computer, I get the "not authorized on this computer" message. I can do the authorization sequence individually, but is there a way of doing it for all my I-tunes purchased songs simultaneously? Taking the time for individual authorizations does not thrill me.

hmmm.
did you deauthorise your PC prior to doing the HD format? if not, it's halfway-plausible that this might be a symptom of having multiple authorisations running on the same PC.
maybe let's try giving this a shot:
One computer using multiple iTunes Music Store authorizations
(i figure that it can do no harm ... but if anyone else has other suggestions, i'd go with them first.)

MP4 music video Player for multiple songs

Is there an appplication that allows the Iphone to play multiple MP4 music Videos.
I do not want to be able to play one file then one file then one file.
I want to be able to select 20 or more songs and have them play continuous without touching the phone again.

Hi Dah-veed,
THIS DOES NOT WORK ON THE IPHONE. It is for i-pad only. Thanks for trying but now I have just purchased another useless apple app.

Standard Sound Levels for Multiple Songs in Audio Tract

I have a video with numerous songs from iTunes in the audio track of the video.
The songs have a wide variety of playback level in the video's audio track.
I know that I can adjust each one manually so that they sound to my ear (and to the audio meter) to be playing at about the same level.
However, is there a simple way to select one of the songs and have automatically have the remaining songs readjust to the selected standard song?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Just closing the loop here ...
I ended up doing the separate track and audio mixer volume adjustment with some individual clip gain tweaks.   Turns out one of my cameras was quiet and another loud, so I used three audio tracks in my movie, one for footage from each camera (luckily the two offenders were more limited).   The nice thing about this approach is that adjustments are easy to make across the board.
On the 6db volume gain, turns out that was enough. Maybe someone has some input here, but I find that watching video on my TV with my surround sound system the volume levels are way more sensitive than my PC.   Ok, not 100% - there were a couple of clips where I upped the gain as well.
The gain adjustment and looking at the waveform diagram is very useful for getting an idea of what level of adjustment is required.   So I did make use of this feature to get feedback on how to adjust the volume level noted above.
If I was really serious, I would have done a bunch of marking key frames and adjusting the volume within the clips.   One of my cameras is really loud when the person filming speaks but the other subjects are much softer. But I took an 80/20 approach and the movie is a little loud in some spots and a little soft in others, but not so much that I have to adjust the volume button. It would be tedious to edit all the footage in this way.   Although I did make use of the key frames for some background music.
Needles: I was looking for a consumer level solution, although admittedly didn't investigate what you suggested.

How can I automatically or easily get lyrics for iTunes songs?

I need a program that either automatically finds and puts lyrics into Mac iTunes song files or else does it so that I can do it manually, but quickly(maybe has an easily accessible database).
Anyone have any suggestions?

My favorite if MpFreaker by Lairware (www.lairware.com). I don't recall how much it costs.
