Album name change

Hi,
Change I do in iTunes gets reflected to actual music file stored in PC ie if i set Artists as SSS for songs in iTunes then if I check properties of a song it has Artists set to SSS.
But if i do a change to a song which was already imported to iTunes its not getting reflected. For example if set Album name for a song it is not getting reflected in iTunes.
i have latest version of iTumes installed
Please help.
Thanks in advance
cheers

Yeah.
That's why it's easier to do either do all your tagging outside of iTunes before importing it, or try to do most of your tagging inside iTunes.
A lot of iTunes tags are "soft" or not really stored in the files themselves, but in the iTunes Library file ... all the Sort Tags are "soft" as I call them. The Video-Type tag is a "hard" tag, but iTunes doesn't use it for some odd reason, so if you say run a TV show through a audio filter to clean up some noise, then re-add it to iTunes, unless it's downloaded from the iTunes store or you used another program to change the file's Video-Type tag ... iTunes puts it in the Movie section (even if you already have in the TV show section) ...
I use Atomic Parsley for a lot of tagging, but I leave all my Sorts, Album Art, and a random tag editing for inside iTunes. It's just easier that way.

Artist name/album name changes made in itunes not showing up on my iphone4S

I added some songs to my iphone and I changed some of the songs' artist names in itunes. However, the changes that I made in itunes are not showing up on the iphone. Changes to album names are also not showing up. But album art does show up on my iphone. I've tried converting id3 tags and I've tried resetting the phone but nothing has worked. Does anybody know what is wrong and how to fix it?? Thanks.

Haven't had the problem.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Album Name Changes - Error

Having an issue when I change the name of an album, and then when I click on the track, it converts the name back to the original. The files are mp3s, as I've read this is a problem with diferrent file types. Suggestions?

Thanks! This didn't solve my problem, but interesting enough: If I turn of DirectDraw in Quick Time, the display of the album covers is in the same grizzly way with diagonal lines as (with DirectDraw enabled) only the three rectangles below the album cover.

Albums names changed after updating to iOS 5

I just updated my iPad2 to iOS5 and all my albums" changed to name like 100IMPRT in the "Events" folder
They were labeled as the date the pictures were taken
Could some one help me ?

I can confirm that this problem was introduced for me after upgrading to 5.1 again for a ported number.
The first symptom noticed was that other people receiving my iMessages noted that my messages showed up as new threads not as part of existing message threads. Checking "my number" confirmed that the number shown has reverted to the pre-porting number. Turning off/on iMessage no longer fixes this, neither does a phone restart.
Turning off iMessage at least means that others now see my text messages in the original conversation threads.
Please fix this. Preferably without needing to change sim cards.

File Name Changes, Sorting Problem

Hi,
iTunes 10.5.1
MacBook Pro Snow Leopard
I am attempting to add a series of lectures to iTunes. These number about 100 and are sequential over 3 volumes. I obtained them in simple forlders labeled vol1, vol2 and vol3 and each track is named with a prefix such as "V1 Ch03 Relation of Physics to other Sciences.mp3". Oddly about half actually retain the full name and sort out properly but the rest do not. For instance the example in question becomes " Relation of Physics to other Sciences.mp3" and not sorting tricks can get them in order.
Before I starting fooling with the names is there somethign else I can do? I have turned off "automatically check for track names" option on iTunes but the same result. Are the spaces causing problems? I don't want to change the names as I would like to share these and others won't figure out the sequence.
There doesn't seem to be an option for date created sorting which may solve the issue. Also iTunes seems to be reading some meta data as the "album name" changes. It seems the lectures were originally released in a different series and recently compiled in the order created, the latter being preferrable.
Any help appreciated!
Happy Holidays!

Oops, Just realised I put this n the wrong forum. Just to clarify this is prerecorded video files.

How do I change artwork and album name for a playlist?

I can't figure out how to do this:
I like to make cd-length playlists (essentially "mix cds") with songs that I own. I make new artwork for the mix cd, and for categorization, I like to change the Album Name and Album Artist to whatever I've named the mix (i.e., "songs about trains").
However, if I do this, the individual songs no longer appear with their original albums, since I've changed the info on them.
So essentially what I want to do is make a copy of the songs. I don't mind if they take up extra space on my hd. How do I do this easily?
I know I can just burn the cd and rip it, but then I have to rename every single song, which is a pain.
Is there an easier way? I imagine many other people like to make mix cds like me...
Thanks.

The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

Changing podcast album name??

Hi all,
I created a podcast about two months ago. However, I've recently decided I need to reformat the name, and the album name.
Old Album Name: Regeneration - The Epistle of 1st Peter Series
New Album Name: Regeneration - The First Epistle of Peter Series
I went through and changed all my .mp3 files to reflect the new change, and then also updated the.xml file for the feed.
While all 10 of the episodes are appearing in one feed within my iTunes application (for Windows) under the new name, when I go to my Music library within Windows 7 File Manager, there are now two different directories. One uses the original album name, while the other uses the newer name.
Next, I unsubscribed, and deleted the feed off my laptop computer, and then resubscribed. However, it's still not creating one physical directory.
What is the proper procedure to change a podcast album name, and get that information into the iTunes Music Store so that all episodes are in the newer named album directory?
I made the change approximately eight 10 hours ago, so I know iTunes has had the time to crawl through the .xml and update their feed.
Thanks!
Robert

You're misunderstanding what I said earlier though.
I went ahead and completely REMOVED the feed out of my local copy of iTunes. After unsubscribing, I deleted the now empty local folder within File Explorer. In essence, my copy of iTunes shouldn't know that I ever subscribed to the podcast feed.
I then subscribed again to the feed. Logically, it should create a brand new folder within Windows because the feed only references the new album name. HOWEVER, two albums are still being created locally on my computer, with the folders being populated with the pre-change album names/files.
Hope that's more clear.
Thanks for writing back.
Robert

Sometimes album name will not change...

Sometimes when I am trying to change and album name (and I have say 10 albums) it will not change, remains "My Albums 6" ???

I tried that, and a couple other click here, click there... nothing? I had done about 5 successfully. Then would have to try over and over for the next few, and finally they changed too. Now I am still left with the last 2 albums... still saying, ablum#...:( I donno, gonna give up for now I guess.

Itunes Genius changes album names

Having a strange issue...After changing albums/songs imported from cds to the album names on itunes, I update itunes match and genius. It then promptly reverts them to other names and removing the info I edited. Anyone know why this is happening?

Hi,
When you update metadata you do do not need to select update match or genius. The changes will work their way through naturally.

Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click

Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?

The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1. However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind. Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways. iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... . Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
track and disc number fields for video media kinds
show and episode fields for music
description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI. There are couple of workarounds:
in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners. Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again.

Changing ipod album name display

On itunes on my computer I can personalize how information is displayed. . If I'm clicked on a folder, I can click "View" and then "View Options" and display or hide any info that I want.
But I don't see these kinds of options for my ipod. . Specifically, I would like to see the album name before I begin playing a song and bring up the song playing screen. . I only see the album name on the current song playing screen. . If I Menu back to check out what I want to listen to next, I can never see the album name. . I can only see the song name and artist name.
Can I change how my ipod displays the information that it has so that it displays the album name within the playlist BEFORE I select a song to play ?

If I Menu back to check out what I want to listen to next, I can never see the album name. . I can only see the song name and artist name.
It all depends how you got to the song playing.
Go to Music -> Albums and it will do what you want.

Why can I not change the title of the album name after updated ipod to ios 5?

Have you tried unsyncing the music and then resyncing? You problem is very commom after iOS 5

Can Album Names/Titles Be Changed?

trying to avoid the LONG list of albums beginning with "The"
Vaio Windows XP

yes, of course: select all the tracks of each album you want to take the "the" off of (one album at a time) right click>get info. you may be asked if you want to edit multiple items. hit yes. then, where it says the album name, you can delete the "the". hit ok.
however, there is no way to change all of them at the same time, only one album at a time.
i believe in windows media player, it automatically ignores "the"'s in album names and alphabetically sorts by the second word instead. i am not suggesting you switch, but pointing this out as more of a feature request to apple.

If I change the Album Name, the Album Column still sorts by the old name even the new name is listed.

If I change the Album Name, the Album Colum still sorts the song by the old name even though it shows the new changed name.
This happens for a song I bought from the iTunes Store. When I change the Album Name on songs read in from CDs, it sorts by
the Album Name which I edit.

Changing file or folder names by hand makes iTunes loose contact with the files. You shouldn't do this. If the files are stored inside the iTunes Media folder and you have the option "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" enabled then files with move around as you edit their tags. If they are stored elsewhere, or that option isn't selected, then if you want to rename the files you need to remove and then reimport, or manually reconnect each track one by one.
Select all of the tracks of the album, press Ctrl+I to Get Info, select the Sorting tab, delete the contents of any of the Sort fields, click OK. This should resolve the sorting issue.

How do I change my iTunes library from albums listing alphabetically back to artist listing alphabetically. Before the last update to iTunes, everything was listed by artist, now it all is listed by album name. I can't find a way to return it to artist

Before the latest update to iTunes, everything was listed by artist. All albums by the same artist were listed together. Now they are all separated by the name of the album instead of the artist. How do I return to the other format?

Are you viewing it in Artist view or Album view? In Album view, it should still list albums by artist name, then album name. If you're in Album view, you might be looking for Artist view.
