Can songs be listed by file name?

I burned the majority of my MP3's 7-10 years ago, and there is no info encoded in most of the files. I have alot of my music just showing up as track # with no other info. I am hoping there is a way to list songs in library by file name. I am concidering buying an Ipod Touch, but if it is not possable to list songs by file name that could be a deal breaker. I have over 3000 songs and with half of em listed as track numbers it would be a nightmare trying to find the song i want.
Thank you in advance for any help you all can provide.

iTunes does not have the ability to display filenames as a list. (It does display the filename for a single file, on the summary tab of Get Info)
In your case, you may wish to use a 3rd party tag editing program such as MP3-Tag to clean up your tags before adding them to iTunes.

  • To display the list of File Name in a report region from a Directory

    Hello All,
    Can any one guide me in displaying the list of file name from a file system directory in a report region with link?
    On click of the link it should display the open/save dialog box.
    I will appreciate the early solution. (It is bit urgent)
    Thanks,
    Shyam

    A quick, "dirty solution would be to have a cron job (I am assuming you are on a UNIX-based system) that populates a file periodically with the names of files in a directory/directories. Then have an external table that points to that file. You can then create an Apex report that lists the contents of the external table.
    1) crontab job:
    ls -1 /source_dir/* > /destination_dir/file.list
    2) create external table:
    CREATE DIRECTORY filedir AS ' destination_dir ';
    GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY xfer_files TO public;
    CREATE TABLE file_list_ext (file_names VARHCAR2(100))
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    TYPE oracle_loader
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY files_dir
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    records delimited by newline
    fields terminated by ','
    missing field values are null
    (file_name)
    LOCATION ('file.list')
    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
    3) create APEX report on table: file_list_ext
    Hope this helps.

  • How to Sort music on play list by FILE NAME?

    How to Sort music on play list by FILE NAME?

    iTunes doesn't display the filename or filepath as a column so you can't sort on it. I could write a script to copy the filepath into the Sort Name field so that sorting by name would sort by filepath. Would that help? In normal circumstances however filepath order would be the same as Album by Artist, so I'm not sure what you would gain. Perhaps there is another way to approach whatever problem you think sorting by filename would solve.

  • Lists of file names in a book

    Does anyone know how to generate a list of file names in a book?

    To generate a list of filenames you could create a new paragraph format, e. g. #Filename. Then insert a #Filename paragraph that contains only FM's filename variable. Repeat this for every chapter of your book.
    Finally generate a list of paragraphs for the book, which lists all #Filename paragraphs.You may want to remove <$pagenum> from the LOP reference page so that it doesn't appear in the output.
    If you have that generated list, you can either include it as part of the book or save as text to get a list of files externally. If you are just after the filenames, Arnis' suggestion is probably easier.

  • Can we control the PDF file name that is generated by BI Publisher based on the content in the input PDF

    can we control the PDF file name that is generated by BI Publisher based on the content in the input PDF?

    No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
    should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.

    In addition, this:

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How can I show my pictures' (files') name in Adobe Muse lightbox?

    How can I show my pictures' (files') name in Adobe Muse lightbox?
    For example: DSC_0022.jpg

    Hello,
    Muse does not pick up and display the file name by default.
    However, the slideshow Lightbox has a Caption option in which you can manually type the file name there and display it anywhere on/around the picture.

  • Can we have . inbetween the file name when we use WEB.SHOW_DOCUM

    i am using froms 10 g
    i have 2 buttons .on clicking those buttons i have to open a csv files.
    for that i have used WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in button Pressed.
    the name of the csv files is as follows
    1. ICCM_PAK_MLP_IN1CE_15092006_ReceptionSDB.csv
    2. ICCM_PAK_MLP.tar.gz_ReceptionSDB.csv
    the 1 st button will open the first file and the second will open the second .csv file
    On pressing the button 1 it opens the first csv file ICCM_PAK_MLP_IN1CE_15092006_ReceptionSDB.csv
    correctly.
    but the problem is ,On pressing the button 2 is not opening the file whereas it pop ups a window asking do you want to extract the zip file if i say yes it is not doing anything.
    i think the problem is with the csv file name
    ICCM_PAK_MLP.tar.gz_ReceptionSDB.csv
    can we have . inbetween the file name i thk it is considering the .tar which is inbetween the file name as file type
    anyone please advise

    "can we have . inbetween the file name i thk it is considering the .tar which is inbetween the file name as file type"
    I believe you found the answer to your question. Why not try removing the . in the filename? It would be faster than asking.

  • Can you help with rematching file names

    After a computer crash needed to reload my library. When doing this I accidently clicked the option to add track numbers to song names.
    Later I was able to locate my iTunes XML from my old PC, however many of the songs (5000 out of 6000) no don't match because the original song name has been changed since my stupid error caused the files names to get the song number in front of them.
    Anybody have any tips for matching the filenames back up. In my original library some files had track numbers in front and some did not. How can I match them back up. I'm comfortable programming and modifying the iTunes XML but I can't figure out a good way to list out the contents of my hard drive to do the actual matching.

    Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
    "can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
    And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?

  • Export List of File Name with Faces Identified

    I'd like to export a list from Aperture, into any file format - Words, Numbers, rich text, MS Word, MS Excel, anything!!
    The list would show the file name and all the faces identified in that file.
    My daughter is in her High School dance team. I've taken more than 1000 photos. Here is is the end of the season and I'd like to distribute the photos among the dancers/parents. They don't have the software or care to take the time to sort through the pics to figure out which photos they are in. I'd at least like to give them a list of photos so that can find the ones
    Faces can be a helpful feature (though I hate all the file versions all over the place in iPhoto and Apeture).
    I've read that Faces is not stored in the metadata of the file. I've tried to export metadata, but not much comes out other than the standard file size, camera settings, etc.
    Easier to describe the situation, I guess, but would be helpful for many photos with people (weddings, parties, reunions, genealogy photos ...)
    which is Faces is supposed to be about, RIGHT???
    I guess a work around could be exporting the files from the identified faces. That seems like it would just junk up more storage/memory. I guess you could use a file list  naming app and then delete the exported files - that just seems stupid.
    I expect a little more from a souped up version of iPhoto for $79. Especially if I have Adobe Creative Suite with Bridge. If Apple wants to give a little shove to Apple, and bring novice users from looking for a non Apple solution, I think this would be an EASY no brainer.
    Thanks anyone who has a solution of a decent work around.

    Dear Kirby, Thank you so much for your reply.
    I'm familiar with Metadata. I've worked with Canto Cumulus and Filemaker.
    I guess a more important question - where is the Faces data stored?
    I'm looking to export a text version by file name, such as in a spreadsheet. Something like this
    File Name     PhotoFile_01.jpg     PhotoFile_01.jpg     PhotoFile_03.jpg
    Faces ID'd    Nina Totenburg        Carl Kasel               Tom Ashbrook     
    Faces ID'd    Carl Kasel                Peter Sagel            
    Faces ID'd    Terri Gross               Terri Gross              Nina Totenburg
    Faces ID'd     Renee Montaigne    Tom Ashbrook
    OR
    File Name                    Face 1               Face 2          Face 3               Face 4
    PhotoFile_01.jpg         Bob Braun         Tina Fey        Andy Warhol
    PhotoFile_02.jpg         Leah Jones       Beyonce        Tina Turner      Dave Matthews
    PhotoFile_03.jpg         Lisa Liu            Geena Davis
    Anything that would identify the faces in a photo to a text file ....
    Yes I understand that most of the IOS software is supposed to make it easier for the new and less techie user. But if you are going to create all these versions and mini files for the photos, why not make them accessible to a power user. I'm not a coder, but I've been using macs for 25 of my 40 years.
    What gets me is that you go to the trouble of identifying all the Faces. What is Faces really supposed to help you with?
    I mean Facebook is better at face recognition than this. Don't go on a tangent - about this - just sayin'.
    Thanks for your time!

  • How to create Dynamic Selection List containg file names of a directory?

    Hi,
    I need a Selection List with a Dynamic List of Values containing all file names of a particular directory (can change through the time).
    Basically, I need an Iterator over all file names in a directory, which could be used for Selection List in a JSF form.
    This iterator has nothing to do with a database, but should get the names directly from the file system (java.io.File).
    Can anybody tell me how to create such an iterator/selection list?
    I am working with JDeveloper 10.1.3.2, JSF and Business Services.
    Thank you,
    Igor

    Create a class like this:
    package list;
    import java.io.File;
    public class fileList {
        public fileList() {
        public String[] listFiles(){
        File dir = new File("c:/temp");
        String[] files = dir.list();
        for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++)  {
                System.out.println(files);
    return files;
    Right click to create a data control from it.
    Then you can drag the return value of the listFiles method to a page and drop as a table for example.
    Also note that the Content Repository data control in 10.1.3.2 has the file system as a possible data source.

  • List all file names in a directory

    Hello everybody,
    I need to write a script in PL/SQL (oracle 10g) that lists all filenames in a specific directory on a client machine and import the files into the database (xml files). After the file is imported they have to be removed.
    I was searching for a solution for this because I have never come accross a challenge like this.
    What I found was that I could use the procedure dbms_backup_restore.searchfiles of the SYS schema.
    Now I need to know how this procedure works. There is very little documentation available.
    Can I give the procedure a folder name on my client computer that has the xml files and let the procedure list these files?
    Can someone please help me with this. I haven't got a clue.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Mariane

    Hello Justin,
    Thank you for your reply.
    You have just confirmed what I already was thinking: that the server cannot read files from the client.
    I haven't got a client application running to do this. My customer wants me to write a script in PL/SQL that enables users to run an import of xml files in the database by giving in a directory name on the client.
    I told my customer that they have to put the xml files on a server directory. Should that always be the server where the database resides on?
    Is there another way to solve this request?
    Thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Mariane

  • When a group of files is selected, how can I copy just the file names?

    I used to be able to select a group of files in a finder window, copy, then paste the names in an email or document. It no longer allows this. Is there away around this other than copying each file name individually?

    I'm also at 10.5.4, just had forgotten to update my profile.
    One "gotcha" can be if the application, such as Mail, is actually able to DO something with the files. In the case of Mail, it can add the content of many sorts of files to the message, or add the files to a message as attachments. That's why the Clipboard will say the content is "text/items" since what will be pasted depends on the destination. This is relatively new in OS X--I remember being astonished when it first turned up.
    TextEdit, IF it is in Rich Text Format, can also handle a number of different sorts of files. If you want to use TextEdit as the "intermediate" destination to get a text list, be sure you go to the Format menu item, and select "Make Plain Text" before you paste. Actually, since I use TextEdit mainly for tasks, such as hand coding HTML, I have its default behavior to open all new windows in plain text, then if I actually want some formatting, I change it to Rich Text. In Rich Text it will accept pasting of all sorts of graphics files, so you see the jpeg, gif or png, you can even paste sound files in as actual sound files (and they'll play, too), plus the icons for folders and other files (such as PDFs).
