Cannot display artist's & song titles

I have used two different computers to sync my cd music. One computer will sync with artist and song titles. The other will only sync with Track one, Track two, and no artist's name and titles. How do I get this computer to syn with with names and song list?

"Other than hand typing in the missing names, how can I get this current library to list the missing names and titles?"
If you connect to the internet you can highlighting the tracks in an album and go to Advanced>Get CD Track names: Finding CD information on the Internet
"Also, I noticed that while typing in the missing information is a box called Part of a compliation. Should I check this box?
Only if the CD you are adding information for is truly a compilation, in other words the tracks on the CD are all by different artists. If you tick this box for songs in a CD by a single artist the songs won't appear under Artist on the iPod. They'll only appear under Albums or under Compilations and then the compilation album.

Vicious MPD widget not displaying the artist and song title

EDIT: This thread can be closed now. It turns out Clementine doesn't support mpd and I'm now running ncmpcpp and the widget shows the artist and song title.
I have trouble getting the mpd widget running in awesome wm, it will only display "N/A - N/A". I've read the wiki and done a lot of googling but I can't figure out what I'm missing.

Hi,
If the songs were purchased from itunes, I suggest that you delete the tracks from your itunes library and move to trash (providing you live in a country that permits redownloading). See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283.

Itunes won't display any Japanese song titles

Any ideas. I recently downloaded the latest itunes (10.4). Prior to this all my song titles displayed correctly in both Japanese and English. Now, only some Japanese Artists (in Japanese Characters) will display correctly in the library, but the songs will not. All the songs show up on my ipod touch 4 though and all the song titles are associated with the songs in the files.
I have an Dell running XP and have Japanese fonts installed. I have checked my library and the song titles show when I right-click and open up 'get info'. The song is there and the title shows there, but it doesn't show if I just have the library showing.
As for trouble shooting - I have done the following:
a) reinstalled itunes
b) retyped the song titles in Japanese
c) played songs
d) converted ID3 tags (which just moved the song and made things worse)
e) reconverted ID3 tags which did nothing
Apple - How can I fix this? If I can't, please ensure the new Itunes 10.5 or 11.0 will resolved this issue. If not, can I re-install the old itunes version of 10.1 or 9.? ?
Thanks for your help.

I am having the same problem. Why do we keep using Apple when their support is so pitiful? You cannot contact Apple about problems. Hopefully they will eventually correct the problem. Good Luck.

IPod plays music, shows artwork, doesn't display artist or song details

My iPod plays music, shows the artwork but doesn't display the artist or song details. I think someone has been messing with it, but i can't find any settings that let me switch the song details back on.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

Puch the center button to switch between volume -> scrubber -> rating -> artwork -> lyrics.

Copying artist/album/songs titles into word document

i am wanting to to copy the artist, albums and song titles into word so i can print it out and store a hard copy with my back-up dvd that i did?
is it possible?
many thanks if anyone can help

I'm not sure how you can get this information into Word, but you can print a list with the following columns: song/length/artist/album for your entire library in iTunes. To do this, make sure you're in your main library and that you have your music listed in the order you want the final document to appear. Then on the top line select File>Print> then put a check mark in the song listing circle and hit okay. You should get a printed list of everything in your library.

ITunes adding artist to song title

Library of about 10,000 songs tagged satisfactorily.
For some reason, iTunes likes to add the artist before the song title. For instance in iTunes:
B.B. King - The Thrill is Gone | B.B. King | Capitol Gold Blues Legends
and when I add library to my iPod, the artist name is in the scrolling song title.
Highly annoying. All I want iTunes to do is what I tell it, not what it wants to do. User friendly software? Hardly.
Anyone have any ideas how to stop iTunes from doing this?

Yes, the song title is just the song title, album = album, etc.
I do not use Windows Media player at all. I use Easy CDDA extractor for ripping CDs which uses CDDB database with a custom format to name songs.
I use the following format: song - artist - album
It would appear your problem is with Easy CDDA then. Take a look at the one of the albums in Windows Explorer, goto the Details view and turn on the Title column. I'm predicting the titles actually read *Artist - Title*. If so you'll need to get a tag editing tool to fix these before you import into iTunes.

Displaying the full song title

I have songs with long titles, is there a way to display everything?

The only way I have done a work around, is to preview the song (make it play)
Then press the lock button
When the phone is locked it should still be playing press either the back button or the lock button and the full song title will appear

Why are my artist and song titles abbreviated after using iTunes?

Hello, this is my first post. I looked for a similar question but did not find one.
I was given an iPod Shuffle (3rd generation), and as soon as I put my music files on itunes and sync my Shuffle, I get abbreviated song/artist titles. For example: Beatles - Let it Be becomes "XFVK".
I had to manually go into each file on my Shuffle and reenter everything to how it should be. I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue. Is this a matter of a setting in itunes, or is it just how the shuffle works?

I'm surprised that no one has responded to this one. I'm just asking if the abbreviated song titles that occur once the songs have gone through itunes is avoidable, or if that's how everyone has them.
Thank you, any input would be greatly appreciated.
Once again, the best way I can explain the symptom is:
White Stripes - The Denial Twist becomes CFQD
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombone becomes FYEW
There's no rhyme or reason, it just does it with all of my music.
Please help!

Does anybody know if the new ipod nano displays the full song title if its really long?

i'm looking to buy one. I have an old zune hd and it doesn't allow you to view full song titles. It's a huge problem if you have a lot of classical music (which i do), because you see stuff like "Symphony No. 4 in" and then nothing else, no way to get more

The title should scroll, but I"m not positive if it does that on all models.

Problem with Displaying Artists/Albums/Songs on iPhone 4S

I purchased the 64GB iPhone 4S and went to load all of my music library onto it (a little over 30GB worth). I believe all the songs are on the phone but I'm having a problem. Not all of them are listed. It's especially noticiable in the artists and albums section. In both of those sections, while each list is in alphabetical order, the artists/albums start to get listed in the wrong part of the alphebet. For example, in the Album section, while it ends with the 123's, the albums listed there start with R, which is where the albums end. The same goes for the artists. So, currently, I can't look for "Who's Next?" by the Who via either of those routes. The problem with the songs is a little different. While I believe all the songs are there, while they start out in alphabetical order, they soon start to become jumbled. It seems it's trying to keep them in order; but it can't. For example, songs beginning with 'L' start during the letter 'J' category. Does anyone know what I can do to get all the albums and artists to list on my phone and how I can get the songs to display in alpahbetical order? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Is it possible to display artist name, song name and bit ra

I own a Zen Sleek Photo and would like to know if there are any plans for a firmware that enables the player to display song name, artist name and also bit rate at the same time. I know that it's possible to see the technical details of the songs but I think it would be nice to see them always (like artist name and song name).
Especially for songs with VBR that would be nice

Does anyone maybe have an idea? I really would like to see the bit rate displayed (permanently).

Displays foreign language song titles as boxes not actuall characters.

Just like the title implied, i can only see English characters despite having a Japanese ime installed and also having fonts. I can type in the languge and my ipod displays it fine but itunes cant.

Just doublechecking ... Do you have supplemental language support enabled, as per the following document?

Playlist- editing text (eg artist names , song titles)

if the artist names or track titles don't appear when importing to playlist is there a way i can copy /paste to multiple cells in 1 action without having to copy/paste each individual cell - ie. copy/paste the word 'robbie williams' 15 times ( if 15 tracks on one album ). The usual windows copy/paste functionby highlighting several cells doesn't seem possible

If you want to add information to multiple items, click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last track in the list, this will highlight all in between. Right click on the list and choose Get Info, you get a dialogue box asking if you want to update multiple items, click Yes and then the Info tab. You can edit the name, album, year, composer, add artwork etc and it will update all the tracks in the list.

Cannot find artist or song

Why can I not find any Kid Rock songs? All Summer Long? ACDC songs?

A simple Google of kid rock + itunes reveals the answer to part of your question.

How come when i enter artist info and I hit the tab button, it won't take me to the other colum like the song title or genre.

When in my library, I am trying to change the information on the artist and song title, etc. But when I hit the tab button, it won't take me to the next column. It always used to take me to the next column to change that info. I also don't know what happened to my autofill. You know when you have a artist already saved on your itunes and you just type the first few letters it will show the artist that's already saved. It won't do that either.

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
