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.

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.

Searching by artist name does not show songs with artists name in song title

If i search by an artist's name in itunes, it does not display songs by a different artist that have the artist's name in the song title, such as remixes that have a parenthesis, then the searched artist's name after with no space in between, like it used to. For example, I searched "Munchi" (artist name), and it showed songs listing munchi as the artist, but not songs with munchi in the title. In the old itunes, if I searched "munchi", the list of songs would include the song Chicken Lover (Munchi likes 'em fried moombahton remix), which is a song by the artist "bassanova", but now that song and songs like that (remixes) in which the artist im searching has their name in the song title but not as the song artist, are not included. This is a serious problem for me as it leaves out alot of songs which the searched artist has collaborated on out. In the old itunes i would get a list of any song which had the word "munchi" in any field, whether or not the word munchi had any letters or symbols before or after it.

this will answer your question:

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.

Why album start with artist name?

HELP!! I am using Itunes 10.6.0.40 with a classic ipod (80 GB). I am running it on a Dell with Windows 7. When I look in Itunes, everything looks ok BUT there appears to be some VERY strange behavior when it comes to the album names. When I click on Music under Library everything looks ok. However, when I click on the Ipod (when connected) under Devices, select Music (after Summary), choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" as opposed to "Entire music library" the list of albums shows EVERY SINGLE album beginning with the artists name (see attached photo). Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

My article on Grouping tracks into albums should touch on the all of the issues somewhere.
The iOS firmware uses Album Artist as an extra field to glue tracks together and makes no use of the Compilations flag. For compilation albums (different artists) set the Album Artist as Various Artists, or something like OST Cast, as well as setting Part of compilation to Yes. For albums by a single Album Artist make use sure to fill in the Album Artist field, particularly if the Artist field on some tracks lists guest artists, and then set Part of compilation to No. On the device make sure that Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist is On.
I've no experience with in-car hook-up systems but the above should get your iPod touch organized sensibly.
Keep iTunes Media folder organized allows iTunes to rearrange your media in response to any changes you make to the tags. Generally I recommend that people let it do its thing, though personally I prefer to retain full control over the structure of my media files, despite the extra effort this entails. What is a good idea, if you like things your way, is to organize everything within the iTunes Media folder as this makes life much easier if you want to relocate the library to a bigger drive at some point, and makes it easier to back up. You needed this advice at the outset however, as rearranging your media your way once it has been imported will leave iTunes confused. The only other potential drawback with letting iTunes keep things organized is if you accidentally mass edit, say the album titles to nothing, there is no way short of restoring a backup to recover the lost information. If the files hadn't been reorganised then much of the data could have been restored with a tag editor. As long as you backup properly this drawback need not worry you...

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.

ITunes 12: use 'Artist' name in "Artists view" rather than 'Album Artist'?

I.e. if I have an album with artist name X and album artist name Y it seems to sort by Y (the album artist name) in "Artists" view (i.e. the one with the pictures on the left)…is there a way to make it use the artist name (X) instead?
Say artist is "Johann Sebastian Bach", and album artist is "Sviatoslav Richter" (i.e. performer), I would rather it came in under "Johann Sebastian Bach" in the artists view, rather than "Sviatoslav Richter".
…the obvious solution is to switch X with Y, while laborious it does work, however, the problem is then when you have an album were a performer plays a bunch of different composers, this messes things up (breaks up the album in "Albums" and just makes a mess in general)…
In "Songs" view you can just switch between "Use Album Artists" and normal Artists…but in "Artists" view there appears to be no such setting and it seems Album Artist overrides Artist...

Audition CS6 Changing Artist Names on Burned CD's

I am using Auditon CD6. I am importing mutliple songs from mutliple artists. I then match the volumes of the songs. Then I drag the songs into the CD list and arrange them. After burning the CD when I put the CD into a CD player it moves the artist names up one song. So in other words the first song has the artist from the second song listed wth it. The second song has the third artist listed with it. And so on. This has occured several times on different CD's and different artists during different sessions.Any ideas?

Sorry, risto. I should have been more precise. Though I did goof by including Windows in my note above. In plain ol' DOS, that list of characters is true, along with a couple I missed. But the Windows Joliet file system allows more of the old characters. Here's a now complete and proper list.
These are all characters reserved by the system in DOS.
? [ ] / \ = + : ; " , * |
In the Windows Joliet file system, these characters are not allowed.
? / \ : " * |
So the disk that dropped the commas must have been burned by straight DOS rules. Whereas the disk burned from Linux used Joliet rules.

Help with a simple applescript for combining Artist text with Track name

Hi all,
I'd like to put together a simple script that takes the artist names from a list of tracks in iTunes and copies the text to the start of the Title name, followed by " - ".
This is because, e.g. on a classical album, I want the artist names to all be "Classic Collection Gold" but I'd like to keep the artist name contained with the track name. This means when I browse by artist I don't get millions of artists...
I found this script, which does something kinda similar, but I'm new to script writing so not sure how to do it?
So I'd like to change:
Name
Planets: Mars
Artist
Gustav Holst
Ambum:
Simply Classical Gold (Disc 2)
To be:
Gustav Holst - Planets: Mars
Artist
Gustav Holst - Planets: Mars OR BETTER Simply Classical Gold (Disc 2)
Album
Simply Classical Gold (Disc 2)
This script has some ideas in, but I'm not sure how to tweak it....

I'm not sure what that script thinks it's doing, but it's essentially doing nothing, so scrub that and start afresh.
The first thing you need is a way to identify the tracks to change - you don't want to do all tracks in the library (they might have already been munged). A good option is to work on the selected tracks:
tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then
set sel to selection
You then need to iterate through those items, changing them one-by-one:
repeat with aTrack in sel
Now comes the easy part - build a list of the elements you want (in this case you want the name, artist, and album of each track:
set trackName to name of aTrack
set trackArtist to artist of aTrack
set trackAlbum to album of aTrack
Now you have the information you need, so reset the fields as appropriate:
set name of aTrack to trackArtist & " - " & trackName
set artist of aTrack to trackAlbum -- or to trackArtist & " - " & trackName, depending on your choice
Now clean up by closing off the repeat and tell blocks:
end repeat
end tell
Putting it all together you get:
tell application "iTunes"
  if selection is not {} then
  set sel to selection
  repeat with aTrack in sel
    set trackName to name of aTrack
    set trackArtist to artist of aTrack
    set trackAlbum to album of aTrack
    set name of aTrack to trackArtist & " - " & trackName
    set artist of aTrack to trackAlbum -- or to trackArtist & " - " & trackName, depending on your choice
  end repeat
end tell

My iTunes Library is arranged with Artist as "Last Name, First Name"

So John Mayer songs have the artist field as "Mayer, John" (without quotes). I have a large physical CD collection arranged this way and it is the way I think. I have 10K+ songs tagged this way (although it doesn't impact a band name like The Beatles.)
Can I use iTunes Match successfully with the artist tags "backwards"? Will using the Match change the meta-data, if I download and replace? Most of my library is at 128K or 196K and I would like to upgrade matched songs to 256K.
I have searched this topic and found general assurances that meta-data does not change, but is that still true for a tag as basic as Artist Name?

Just as an aside, do you have your artists tagged like that for sorting purposes?
If so then it may be worth having a look at the "sort artist" field (under the sorting tag of get info.
In this way, you can have it displaying as John Mayer but sorting as Mayer John. As someone who had previously tried all sorts of sorting methods, this was just about the best discovery that I made about iTunes.
Apologies if you already knew this, or have some other reason for tagging that way, but I've been surprised by the number of people who aren't aware of this.

Music albums no longer have the artist name associated with it

I updated to IOS 5 and In transferrig all my music to the ipad1, some of the albums no longer have the artist name associated with it..So when I search by artist name, it only shows they have one album when it should be two..
Also switching between songs, artist, album is very very painfully slow..seems like the music app hangs sometimes.
Tried many times resyncing and deleting but didn't work..Anybody experiencing these problems??

I have the same problem, and after hours of trying to figure out the problem i finally did!! Its going to be a pain in the BUTT, but its the only way. :/
1. Look for the song file.
2. Right click and choose prefences
3. Go to details and edit the information
- "Title" aka songs name
- "Album artist"
- "Album"
-The rest of the stuff can be filled in if you want
4. Click OK
5. Drag it into itunes
Hope this help. ;D

Sorting artist names different with English and German iTunes

I just got a iPod and theres only one thing that bothers me. I used to use OS X with English language and then artists are sortet after the name, ignoring the "the" in many names ("the Beatles" sorted under "B"). I recently switched the laguage to German and then all the artist with "the" in the name (like "the Beatles" ) are sorted under "T" in iTunes and on my iPod. Is is possible to change this? I want to use german language on my Mac, but I still want the artists names sorted like they used to be.
I´m using iTunes 7.0.2 and OS X 1.4.3.

You will want to refer to this article in the Apple Knowledge Base which explains the new sorting rules that have been introduced in recent versions of iTunes.
To workaround it, you will have to make use of the also recently introduced Sorting tab that is described at the bottom of the above-referenced article.
You can get "The Who" sorted as "Who" by entering Who in the Artist Sort field.
Information you enter in the Sort fields will not change what is displayed for those items, only how it is sorted.

Can't edit artist names with ''the''

Hey. Some artists wrongly named on my walkman. Such as ''the misfits" or "the pixies". They should be Misfits and Pixies. So, when i try to edit artist name from "the Pixies" to "Pixies", it keeps being "the Pixies". Yeah i am sure i am tapping the save button. And i tried with any other artists and i couldn't delete ''the" from artist name.. Having a same issue even after hard reset.

The info you are trying to edit is hard coded or embeded so you need to use a new app called EEmp3 found here

The DVD I burned doesn't include artist names

To burn my music collection onto a DVD I used Select All in the edit menu and dragged everything from the Music Folder into the Burn Folder. When I burned the songs onto a DVD the songs were all there but the artist names were missing. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Rgds

Where are they missing?
What are you using to look for artist names?
What kind of files? AAC, WAV, MP3?

I just started up with my IPod, I download music to my library and I accidently changed the artists name in an entire category. I can't figure out how to undo it. I read the edit help stuff but I can't select the item I need to edit

I just started using my IPod and I downloaded my library. I accidently changed the artist names for an entire genre category and I can't undo it. I read all the edit help stuff and I either can't select items to edit or I'm an idiot and I can't figure it out. I keep trying and I get a pop up that asks me if I want to change multiple items.

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.
