Can you change the track number of a song got from the iTunes store?

I am trying to change the track numbers of stuff I have purchased from iTunes store. I have found that even if you change them in the Info tab section it doesn't actually change. I purchased a load of Muse B-sides and stuff from the iTUNES store and wanted to make them all into an album of b-sides all numbered 1 to whatever, but even if I do change the number like I said, when I put it onto my ipod it still seems to keep the track number it had originally. Say I purchased track 2 of a single. But on the cd I burn I want it to be track 7. So I burn the cd with all the tracks in the order I want them with Itunes ( having changed their track numbers as well in the info section ) but when I rip the cd back into Itunes and put it onto my pod the track that was track 7 on the cd ( but was originally track 2 off a single i purchased ) becomes track 2 again when it on my ipod? Any way round this?

Make a playlist and put them in whatever order you like within that playlist.
Cheers!

  • ITunes 10.6.1.7 -  The Track Number of any song i play in iTunes is being erased! PLEASE HELP!

    Hi!
    I'm experiencing a very weird bug in iTunes 10.6.7 (64-bit) - on Windows 7. What happens?
    With some of the songs, when I use my Left Mouse Button to double-click the song (to play it!) in the music library (in iTunes of course), the song loses the meta-data of the total number of tracks.
    The setup of my iTunes is as follows:
    Each of my songs are part of different albums, so that means that every song has meta-data of the total number of tracks of the album its part of.
    Every song in my music library has been converted by iTunes (so they all have the same specs).Here are those specs:
    (Forgive me if I use different words for the technical terms, I'm working with an iTunes in my own native language so I don't know all the english equivalent words.)
    Type: MPEG-audiofile
    Bitspeed: 320 kbps
    Samplefrequence: 44,100 kHz
    Categorization: MPEG-1, Layer 3
    Channels: Joint Stereo
    ID3-tag: v2.3
    The following spec is the only thing I can think of that is significantly different between the songs that could be the cause of the bug.
    Here is the information on this specific spec of one of the songs which has this problem:
    Coded with: iTunes 10.6.0.40
    My question is: is there anyone who experiences the same problem with this version of iTunes? Were you able to fix it? Or any advice?
    Thank you for your time!

    Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes. 

  • How do I get rid of the Track number in a song's name?

    So I just got a new windows computer and transferred all my songs from my old windows machine to this one. Unfortunately, a lot of the files have numbers in front of their name, in fact almost all of them do (I'm talking about the actual file in their respective folders). What puzzles me is some of the songs, once added to itunes, have the track number in front of their name in itunes, while others do not. I started to rename each song, but that is taking way too long. Do any of you know of a way to select a large group of songs and modify each name only a little with out changing each one to the same thing?  I pretty much have to delete 3 spaces before each song. Any suggestions would be really helpful.
    P.S. the sort cuts for play/pause/skip/reverse only work for windows media center, which really isn't great. When I try to use them they will literally launch windows media center. is there a way to change this so that they will work for itunes?

    Do a hard reset by pressing the button on the face of your Ipad and the on off switch.

  • Hi...My IPod touch was recently stolen. I have an Itunes account..can I retreive the serial number of my IPod Touch from my Itunes account? If, so...how may I do this. If I have the serial number, the local police can check the serial numbers at pawn shop

    Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....

    Yes. See bold below
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Can you change what phone number is passed over Caller ID?

    Here is my scenario.
    I do not want to have two separate phones.
    My android phone has a MN phone number that I need to keep.
    My new job requires that I have a CA phone number.
    I can hard forward the CA phone number to my MN phone....but....when I'm making outbound calls for work I need the CA number to be passed so my customers see the CA number.
    Conversely, I want the MN number to passed when I make outbound calls in MN.
    Is there an app/program that will allow me to toggle which number is passed via Caller ID when I make outbound calls?
    Is there a different solution?
    Thanks! 

    Here's Wikipedia on "Caller ID spoofing"
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CallerIDspoofing
    Perhaps a businessman, working from home (or on the road), wants the Caller ID to show his office number when he makes calls...

  • Retrieving the row number of a specific record from the results of a MySQL query

    I want to create a MySQL query that will return a list of
    records, and then retrieve the row number of a record with a
    specific ID. How can I do this?
    *server-side script: PHP

    <?php
    $i = 0;
    do {
    $i++;
    } while (mysql_fetch_assoc($rsWhatever) &&
    $row_rsWhatever['ID'] !=57);
    echo "TADA -" . $i;
    ?>
    (assuming that ID is numeric, and that the test value
    actually exists in the
    database)

  • Why are some of the tracks on a cd being separated from the album?

    I can't figure out why some tracks are separated from a cd.  It seems to happen if an artist is featured in a song on an album...it separates it from the entire cd and is listed as a single track and i can't put it back with the album unless I create an entire new playlist and drag it all over into there. 

    Take a look here:

    The text is often so small it is hard to read.  It would be nice if as in the Blender animation program you can easily increase the size of fonts used in the program's user interface, through the "preferences" menu item.

  • Can you restore a user file that has been deleted from the home folder?

    If you have a backup, yes. If not, no - unless to get some data recovery software or service ($$) which may or may not be able to recover anything.

  • Can you change the worktop color in version 9?

    Hi! 
    I find it very difficult to read the text captions on the black face of the worktop.  How can you change or customize to something that's easier on the eyes?  I have managed to change the workspace panel color but can't figure out how to change that really difficult black interface.  I am using elements 9 having upgraded from 5 where the workspace was pleasantly light grey.  A solution would be so much appreciated.  Thanks!

    No, unfortunately, that's just the way it is in PSE 9.

  • Linking the tracking number

    What would be the best way to link the tracking number from Webtools order history to UPS, FexEx or USPS site.
    We would like our customer to click on the tracking number and go to appropriate website to track the shipment.
    Tkx
    Shawn

    I've never done this but one method I though about was to create a new page in the webtools site that takes a tracking number in the querystring and then based on the format it redirects to the appropriate tracking site. That way the mail template only needs one url surrounding the tracking number but it will eventually sent the customer to the correct site.
    Obviously this assumes you can determine correct shipping type based on the tracking number.
    I guess instead of passing the tracking number you could just pass the order number and the page looks up the ship method from teh WebTools database.
