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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How do I search for a song with the name I typed on my iPhone?

I run into this a lot and it is extremely frustrating. I want to find a song like "Menuetti", but the search results end up with hundreds of variations of "Menuetto". Even though I know Menuetti is there somewhere, I can't find the song I am looking for because there is so much garbage returned. Is there any way to get the iTunes store to return the few songs with the name I asked for rather than the hundreds with the name I did not?

You can choose what it searches and where

Importing Text file in to iTunes with song and artist names

A friend made a compilation CD for me. He exported the artist and song names in to a text file from iTunes. I am having trouble importing the information in to my itunes. The people at the apple store said that it was not possible and that I would have to import his whole iTunes library.
Thanks.

HT1473 iTunes message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's iTunes store, What's up with that?

I just purchased The Very Best Of Eagles CD, Popped it into my drive so excited to own the copy but when I tired to copy it to my Library I get this message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's in the iTunes store, What's up with that? Is there any way to get track information and artwork without Having to manually inter all the info?

iTunes gets track information from Gracenote's database, so iTunes must be able to reach gracenote.com and the CD must have been entered there by some purchaser already (all CD information in Gracenote is provided by we users). If these are common, commercially-distributed CDs, it may be that there is a firewall or privacy filter blocking access to gracenote.com. If these are unusual, independently-released or rare CDs, they just may not be in Gracenote yet. In the case of a custom CD where it's a compilation, Gracenote probably won't be able to identify them (it goes by complete albums, comparing the number and length of the tracks to try and figure out what album it is).
Hope this helps.

Just found Ipad Nano in Big Island Hawaii. Trying to find the owner to return it back. Tell me what is the color, how many songs and your name(its personalize with a name).

Just found Ipad Nano in Big Island Hawaii. Trying to find the owner to return it back. Tell me what is the color, how many songs and your name(its personalize with a name).

I only wish that when I called Apple, they would match the serial number with the owner and give me the contact
Hopefully you left Apple your contact info (name phone #, email address).
Apple would simply pass your contact to the last registered owner. It would be up to the owner to contact you. As Dave mentioned, Apple will not give you any info (except may to tell you it was or was not registered, but not to who). Turn it on once in a while and maybe they have activated FindMyiPad and a message will pop up (don't need to be logged onto the iPad to a message).

Wierd Menu bug-only allows access to songs with album name

So I was noticing this when I was trying to play some music by an artist that I have music for, 2 with the same album name, and several more without an album name. the thing is, when I scroll to that artist in the browse by artist menu, it goes straight to the two songs with the same album name, never allowing me to get to the songs without an album name by selecting the "all" albums option. This is also a problem with songs without an artist. Besides putting in some random album name like "_", what can I do to fix this?

You have solved it yourself by "" !
There will probably be a software update from Apple that will fix this as several earlier threads have mentioned.

Problems with song's names in iTunes Store

So, I have a problem with song's names in iTunes Store on my iPhone 6+ 128. with 8.2
You can see it on attached screens.
I tried to change the font size and erase the phone and then install it again by default. The problem manifests itself on 6+ and didn't on my iPad with the same program version.

That's really curious. Sorry I don't have anything else by way of potential solutions to offer, but it may be worth contacting Apple about this one.

I have a sync issue with any songs name track 1 or 2 so on ..even though my itune shows I have the play list right but after i sync the same 20 tracks play very different tracks, it doesn't happen when I sync other songs that actually have names

I have a sync issue with my ipod, anytime I synch a playlist that has generic song names instead of actual names like track 1 or track 2 so on even though my itune library shows and plays the song, but after a sync my ipod will play a different song. Never happnes if the playlist has actual song names, than everything is fine..!!!!Any help?

If I understand you correctly, when iPod play the Track 1, a different song is played, what is the name of this different song?

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.
