I want the actual file name of my song to be edited through itunes

Hello to all,
I have spent a significant time of my life to keep my music folder very well organized. Then after a few years, I discovered itunes and I started to organizing and tagging my music files through itunes. Everything works well with no problems....
Now, here is the thing.
I know that itunes works with mp3 tagging or something similar (not an expert). So, if I copy the songs of an itunes playlist to my friends (dropbox, usb drive etc) and they are not using itunes, then the file names of the songs included in the playlist is totally crap. If they open it in itunes or other similar software is pitch perfect. But most of them they go through: "open folder"/"read file name"/"play song". So they cannot even find the songs they want....
So, is there a magic way (i.e. not manual) that the actual file names of my songs will be edited by itunes according to my so lovely and beautiful (lol) itunes tag?
Any help would be more than welcomed and even celebrated as well!
Cheers
BG

iTunes reorganizes files stored inside the iTunes Media folder to reflect changes to tags if the advanced preference "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" is selected. If for some reason it has failed to do this turning the preference off, and then back on again normally resolves things, although iTunes won't make minor case corrections, e.g. The beatles to The Beatles. iTunes uses the structure <Artist>\<Album>\[D ]## <Name>.<Ext>
If the files are stored outside the media folder, or that preferences is turned off, then the file & folder names are left alone when you edit the tags. Consolidating the library will bring in copies in the standard format.
However, unless we are talking about songs you have personally composed and recorded, you have no right to give copies of your songs to your friends, they should buy their own copies (or you could buy them for them).

    Olaf:
    Thanks for your reply. Sorry, my bad. I inadvertently copied wrong [name] form the msdb.dbo.backupset. On 3/13 and 3/14, the two file names did not match. In trying to select another example to show you this morning, I found that the names are now matching!
    What I was doing was to create dynamic t-sql to retrieve the latest prod backup of the database, and then restore it with move to the development server. This is an ad-hoc job that the developers can run by themselves whenever they require a refresh. Unfortunately,
    we only keep 3 days worth of backups for these databases, so the original disk file I was trying to use to restore no longer exists. Researching the original error, one of the error descriptions was that the restore could not find the file requested.
    I thought this very strange since I get the file name directly from the backupset table. Further research did indeed show that the file names were different, but unfortunately, I failed to save the details of the file names. Anyway, in looking for a new example
    to show you this morning, I have found that the file names are indeed matching exactly again. If this error pops up again, I will be sure to save all details and re-post.
    Thanks, regards and best wishes to you and yours, 

  • Framemaker uses $filename for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen?

    Framemaker uses <$filename> for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen? In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.

  • If I rename a clip in PPro, is there a command to change the actual file name like in FCP7?

    In FCP7 I could rename a clip in FCP and then use a menu command to change the actual file name to match:
    Can I do this in PPro or Prelude?
    Thanks!

    This option is only available in the Project Manager.

  • Changing song info in Itunes and the actual file names

    How can I change the song info in iTunes and make it change the actual file names?
    It gets a bit tiring after every single time iTunes updates I have to re-organize my 3000+ songs. I tried to do a quick search for an answer in the forums but I wasn't exactly sure what I should search for so sorry if this is a duplicate post.
    Is this possible? (does this make sense?)
    Thanks!

    I have the option checked and I made several changes to the ablums name and song names for several songs in my library. iTunes changed the files to the new folder names and renamed the files.
    The only problem is that I have empty folders of the old album names.

  • Seeing actual file names on .idml files

    In indesign cc 2014 when I open .idml files I want to see the “file name.idml” instead of “untitled.idml”. like in previous versions of Indesign cs3 where you could see the file name as “filename.inx”. I’m working on multiple files and have to save them down for the customer and it just keeps the confusion down.

    Thanks for the answer - I know ID CS3 version you could see the actual file name "filename.idml" - i used to do that in CS3 all the time - but I guess IDCC got rid of that feature - I asked Indesign Facebook page and this is what they replied: "Unfortunately, the feature doesn't exist in ID at the moment but our team has received your request ^A"

  • How to Edit the Title (file name) on forms 10g Screen.

    How can one edit the Title ,and <(file name)> on forms 10g Screen ....
    I tried editing through the forms module preperty palette , but could n't change the Title, or file name on forms menu screen ...
    I guess , the entries are made through some other means...
    Please let me know on how to do this .
    Need a quicker reply ..
    Thanks in Advance
    Sanu

    using the below code too not getting me the new names entered by me ... still the old title names are comingWhat do you mean by new nemes? It will return you the actual file name which is saved in phycical location and form name will return you the module name which displays when you open forms in builder.
    Or you mean something else then its better to provide any example..like what is happening actually with you.

  • Batch rename files preserving the original file name in metadata

    How can I batch rename files while preserving the original file name in metadata? (Don't want the old file name as part of the new file name)
    (Adobe CS Bridge can do this with some success, but I don't want to be dependant on this software. Results are inconsistent.)

    With a simple terminal script. More details needed, though.

  • Changing the .chm File Name

    I know this topic has been covered before in the forum, but I a little bit slow and haven't quite understood the answers.  I am trying to change the name of the .chm file which resides at the root of the C: drive, but outside of the project folder.
    Several of the solutions refer to changing the name in the window properties, except I don't know what you are referring to by Window.  Is it on a dialog box such as Project Properties or is it something I'm totally unaware of?
    Sorry for the redundancy of the topic.

    Are you referring to the CHM file created when you compile your project? If so, all you need to do is right click on the Microsoft HTML Help single source layout and select Properties. The top field in this dialog - Select Output Folder and File Name - is where you specify the path to the CHM file and the actual file name. Change this to the reference the required file name (e.g. C:\Source\myfile.chm) and click Save. The next time you create your project output the file name will be as you have supllied.

  • Music files in the Finder: File Names Obscured

    OS X 10.10.2.
    When I search for music in the Finder, it returns metadata titles instead of the file names.
    The reason I do a music search in the finder is to sort and edit the actual file names. Not happy.
    General, Finder and Spotlight preferences just shrug at me.
    Any ideas?

    BeeblePete wrote:
    If so, that's really unfortunate. It means I can't use search to see and resolve duplicate or inconsistent file names. It kind of dilutes the Finder's role as a file manager, when there's already an app for managing the metadata (iTunes).
    Well, in Apple's world, you don't manage files. You manage Music, and Photos, etc.
    If you just open a Finder window without searching, you can manage the files as files.
    The best solution I can think of for the duplicates is to turn on the status bar. If you create a search folder for kind:music and sort by name, you'll see all the duplicate titles. When you select one, it will show the path at the bottom of the window, including file name. You can arrow between the files to determine where you have duplicates and delete or move as desired.

  • Replace Unknown Source in EcmaError (JSR223) with actual file name

    Hopefully someone here knows how to do this:
    In my code, all of the scripts are contained in .js files. Whenever one of the scripts contains an error, I get this:
    javax.script.ScriptException: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "nonexistant" is not defined. (<Unknown source>#5) in <Unknown source> at line number 5
    What bugs me is the <Unknown Source>. Multiple files are in one ScriptContext, and it can be hard to track down an error. It also looks horrible.
    Is there a way to replace <Unknown Source> with the actual file name? None of the methods I see support passing a File object, so I'm really confused here.

  • How to display the actual code name on the table of the uix file?

    I have established entity object:Schoolinfo,and a view object SchoolinfoView,and registered in the application module.and I drag and drop to a uix file the Datacontrol and it works well,i can see the schoolinfo table's contents.The problem is:in schoolinfo there is an attribute schooltype code,like 1,and referenced to another table:CodeDict in the database, and I want to display the actual code name when displaying the table on the uix file,like "middle school", not just the code 1.How can I do?

    This is more of BC4J question.
    The data that is displayed (View) is a SQL query. You should be able to change the SQL query represented by the view object appropriately to get the desired output. You can see more information on view objects from Jdev help to get more information on it.

  • How to get the actual font name from a font file?

    Hi
    I have only the font Path I have to get the font name from that path. Any idea how to get the actual font name?
    Thanks,

    I would ask you these questions:
    Why do you need to do this?  What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?
    Are you really asking about the InDesign SDK?
    Do you really need to get the "name" of a font from an arbitrary file?  Or do you want information about a font installed on the system?  If so, what OS?
    Do you need to be able to handle any font format?
    Which font "name" do you mean?
    What language do you want the name in?
    (1) It's not clear what you're trying to accomplish.  A bit more information about your ultimate goal would be helpful.
    (2) This question is not at all specific to the InDesign SDK.  Are you really trying to do something in the context of an InDesign plug-in?  If so, you probably want to look at IID_IFONTFAMILY and the IFontFamily::GetFamilyName function.
    (3) If you are asking more generally, Windows and Mac both have system API calls to get this information, although those tend to deal with installed system fonts, not with arbitrary font files per se.
    Also, you can parse the name table from a True Type or Open Type font without using any system APIs; as True Type and Open Type are well-documented standards.  I would start by reading these:
    The Naming Table
    Font Names Table
    (4) Although there are other standards, such as Type 1 (PostScript) fonts, and True Type Collection files and other formats, especially on Mac.
    (5) Also, when you start down this road, you will quickly realize that your seemingly simple question is actually ambiguous, and that the answer is kind of complicated, because a font can have many names (a family name, a full font name, a style name, a PostScript name, etc.).
    (6) And not only does a font have multiple names, it can have each of those names in multiple languages and encodings.
    Any clarification would make this a better question.
