Burn with song names etc...

Im gonna burn a few songs to a CD-RW and was just checking which burning method i need to set in iTunes to burn with song names, album names etc.
Also, can i burn to a DVD-RW with these settings
NB: the CD will be imported into an iTunes Libary, and not really played in a CD player.

You want to burn your disc as a Data disc. This will maintain all the ID3 tag information you have entered.
1. Create a Playlist with the content you want to burn to disc.
2. Open iTunes Prefs > Advanced >Burning (Prefs > Burning in pre-iTunes 5).
3. Select the Data CD or DVD option and click OK.
4. Highlight the Playlist and click the Burn button in the upper right corner of the window.

Burn with song names

Anyone familiar with how CD audio file text works after burning a disc in itunes? My mastering engineer gave me master disks to send for duplication but the files are labelled "Track 1-12". Is there a way to do this so the song names are displayed on any computer pre-Gracenote tracking? We tried it again and he used "appy CD text" before the burn but when I put it into my Mac I get the same "Track 1" etc.

CD-TEXT is read by the audio CD application, not the file system on the computer (Mac Finder or Windows Explorer).
iTunes does not read CD-TEXT.

Problem with song names

Hey, I'm having this problem with song names. For example, instead of the song title being "Song Title" it will be like "Artist Name - Song Title". It's like this for half my files. I'm trying to organize my music files and every time I fix it, it keeps going back.
This has happened to me before and usually if I double click it, it will automatically change. This time, nothing seems to work except doing it manually ("Get Info)" and that would take too long since I have 7,000 files like this. I posted this on another board and somebody said to right click the songs and click Update ID3 v2.4 which originally worked, but now nothing but manually doing it works.
This is like this when I open it for other programs, but I know iTunes caused. I think it has something to do with the "Keep my iTunes Folder Organized" check because iTunes renames the file. I also tried reinstalling itunes and readding my files.
Thanks for any help!

I don't completely understand what you are trying to say, but iTunes doesn't automatically change your tag information.
iTunes stores a copy of the tag information in the library database. When you play a track, iTunes re-reads the tag information from the song file and updates the library data. This produces the efferct that iTunes appears to change tag information but it isn't, it is meerly reflecting a change that already happend.
Do you have any other software on your PC that can automatically change tag information? For example Windows Media player can do it if you select an option to retrieve data from the internet and overwrite existing info. But other software may do it too.
If you want to force iTunes to re-read all tags, go to your Music view and go to Edit>>Select All. Then right click in the selection and choose Get Info. Don't change anything, just exit by clicking OK. iTunes will update the library with the tag information from the song files.

How to copy a playlist from iTunes to a USB (keeping artist song name etc) and the files to listen and browse in a jeep hard drive

I made a music playlist on my iTunes, perfectly ordered. I get a car with a USB input to get the songs in the car hard drive, My question is: How can I copy the playlist (with artist, song etc) with the music file (but with the name and artist instead of the file name) in the usb so I can copy it and browse it in my car?
Thanks

This would require renaming the files on the computer.
iTunes is not going to do this magically when copying files to the flash drive, iTunes does not even copy/sync files to a flash drive.

Exporting text files with song names and artist names only

I need help exporting a playlist as a text file. I know how to do this already,(right click playlist and select "export song list...") but when i open it up in notepad, it is unorganized and is very hard to read. I am burning a disc for my mom and pasting the playlist on the back of the cd cover. I dont want to type out every artist and song name. Help is appreciated.

do you have a copy of Excel (or a different spreadsheet) on the PC, kevin? if so, try opening the text file with that. then it's relatively easy to remove information by deleting the columns of info that you don't want.

CD burns with incorrect names

I've been encountering an odd problem with burning audio CDs — namely, discs that I burn show up when played with the names of previously-played CDs that have absolutely nothing to do with the disc in question. I originally thought that the problem was with Toast, but I've now also seen it with iTunes and Dragon Burn. I'm almost certain that it's a problem with a corrupt preferences file, but I don't know which one is the culprit. Has anyone else experienced (and solved) this problem, and if so, what did you do to eliminate it?

I trashed the file you recommended.
I tried running the script, but it doesn't seem to work with songs I have written myself. My songs and the CD itself come up with names on them I don't recognize (maybe my daughters do - they may correspond to songs my girls own, I don't know).
Anyone else have ideas how to not get stuck with some non-sequitur CD name that is imbedded in the CD (the name shows up when I insert the CD into another computer)? I write music for clients, and I don't want bizarre names showing up on their computers when I deliver a product.
I'd greatly appreciate advice here. Thank you.

Personalising secure zone webpages with client names etc

I was wondering if it is possible to personalise a webpage with client first names so that when they log in, it displays their name etc. I know you can do this in the email marketing module, but I was wondering if you can do the same in a secure zone web page.
Any help from the community greatly appreciated.

Mac recognizing artist, song name, etc.

i'm trying to load up itunes on my wife's mac, i use a PC for myself. Don't know why, but the computer is not reading artist name, album, song name off of the cd's. Everything goes on to itunes as unidentified track 1, 2. 3 etc. Is there some setting that I'm missing?

Is the Mac connected to the internet when you are importing your CDs? iTunes picks up the track information from an online database. It will do this automatically if you are connected while you are importing or you can do it afterwards by connecting to the internet, highlighting the tracks and going to Advanced>Get CD Track names: iTunes for Mac- I don't see the names of songs
Also, what sort of CDs are they, commercial CDs or CD-Rs? If they are mixed ones you made yourself on another computer the track names will be seen as Track 01, Track 02 etc. and the information has to be keyed in again by hand (unless someone uploaded the information to the CD database): How iTunes remembers Audio CDs

Is there a program/app to automaticaly recognize my songs and organize them with Album name etc.

Title says it all
HELP PLEASE.

Kevin, there are a few questions I can answer, but if you have irc you can also reach out to the #addons channel. I will also try to get in touch.

Burning with Artist names

Hi ... When I use Itunes to burn songs onto a disk I see they are listed as track , How can I have this to show the Artist name instead of track ? Thanks

Hi Terry,
edit>preferences>advanced>burning>check "include CD text">ok
After you have set your preferences, when you burn a CD BEFORE ejecting it. Click on it to select it, then in the iTunes main window go to
Advanced>Submit CD track names>fill any required info>submit
This sends the CD info to the GraceNote data base that iTunes uses so the next time you insert this disk GraceNote recognises it.

Editing out song name numbers and iMatch

I am trying to clean up my library by editing out the numbers that are in the song names (i.e. 01 Song name, 02 Song name, etc). I have noticed that editing the song name in iTunes DOES NOT change the name of the SOURCE file, so my question is, does iMatch look at the song name within the "info metadata" or does it use the "source" filename? I would hate to do all this work for nothing.....;-)
Thanks,
Michael

Song titles, artitist names, etc., do not show up on burned CD

Can someone please tell me why when I burn a playlist onto a CD the song information does not transfer? It doesn't have song titles, artist names, etc.
Thanks!

Original CDs from the store do not have track titles either.
iTunes looks them up on the Gracenote CD Database.
Burn the CD and make sure the info is there.
Select the CD, then menu Advanced -> Submit CD track names.
Ont he next computer, use iTUnes (or whatever program) to look up CD track names and it should retrieve them.

All my song names, artists etc are gone and have been replaced with

I wanted to move my itunes library to external hard drive to make space on my internal hd. Ive been having trouble with backing up and to make a long story short, my music is gone of my hard drive ( internal), im now backing it up from the ipod directly to my external hd, I did it a bit wrong but its getting there anyway. The problem is that now all the song names, artists etc are gone and each one of my 9170 songs are just capital letters, like AURH, so i have no idea what is what. Anyone know what is goin on here and how to fix this?

Yes, the iPad is designed to erase all data, when you connect it to a new computer. It only syncs the data that is on the computer you connect to, to the device. If you don't have your epub and pdf documents on the computer, and set to sync via iTunes.......they will erase.
You need to move the data from the other computer, to the mac. Once they are on the mac, you can connect the iPad, and sync it to the iPad.

Burns correct song, but wrong file name

I have been burning a song of mine. After the song is finished burning I click on the cd icon and when it opens it shows a name of a different song. When I play the cd it plays the correct song-the one I burned! The name it labels it with is a drum track I once created so I deleted the drum track, restarted the computer, etc. It still burns the right song but names it with the track I deleted. I am preparing this cd to go out to radio stations and, although my outside labelling (cd art, Lightscribe on the cd) identifies the song, I am afraid of what will happen if the cd is downloaded, e.g. it won't show up with it' correct name.

I burn cds with iTunes-my own music imported from Garageband into iTunes.
I deleted all copies of the song that keeps being labeled on my new songs from iTunes.
I see there are iTunes Library data files in my iTunes folder, but I can't open them. There is also a folder labelled Previous iTunes Libraries with old dates on them. I don't know why they are there.
I repair permissions and restart my computer regularly.
Following the lead of some other apple discussion threds where people have had the same problem I created a 1-second silent track and added it to the playlist of the one song I was burning. Then I labeled the silent track and my demo under one album name. Then it burned and labeled okay. It turns out this problem only happens when you are burning single songs. Burning albums don't have this problem. Compilations will have this problem if you don't change all the songs to one album heading. Also, it happens with any single song burn, not just my Garageband stuff. I tried burning a single Bob Dylan song and it still came out labeled with the wrong name, the same ones iTunes put on my demo.

Updated to 10.4.1 and can't see the menu titles or the song names, even though they are there and can be played. the other categories (tv, apps, etc) seem to be OK.

i just upgraded my pc to windows 7 and itunes to 10.4.1, but i can't see the menu items at the top left of itunes. they are there, because if i move my mouse over the area where they should be, i see and can select from the drop down menus. this problem also affects my music library; i cannot see the individual song names/artists/etc, but if i double click on the blank line it does play the song. the app library and video library seem OK, only the music library is a problem. also, when i connect my iphone, it recognizes it, but the main screen for my device has no words on it, just a picture of the phone.

Hi, Sanjiv - My son fixed this problem for me by showing me that in addition to the visible volume slider at the top left of the iTunes window you also need to pull down the blue airplay menu right alongside that volume slider (the little blue box with the triangle). When you pull down that menu you will see volume settings for "computer" which controls the built-in speakers, plus a list of the other external speakers you may have set up using Airport. When I did that I saw that the volume on "computer" was right down at zero levl even though the main iTunes slider was at full level. When I selected the "computer" under "single" or "multiple" options and adjusted the volume it came back up. It worked for me, I hope it solves your issue too. Best, John.
