Cannot edit ID3 tags for newly added tracks

I want to stress: this is for iTunes 10.5 b2 but I want to make sure this gets out there so this issue can be resolved sooner rather than later since it's somewhat ESSENTIAL for iTunes to actually function properly.
But I upgraded to b2 from b1 today and now anytime I add any new mp3 files I cannot edit the ID3 tags - in fact I go to edit them and all the options are greyed out...
Anything added PRIOR to the upgrade is editable it's just anything I add since the upgrade. I've tried restarting the app and it still is locked.
Anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone else seen this?

Since iTunes 10.5 is development release only and you as a developer agreed to not discuss it in accordance with your non-disclosure agreement, you should post the question over here -> http://www.developer.apple.com

How do i edit id3 tags for all mp3s in a folder?

If I have a folder of mp3s, how do I set all of their id3 album tags to the same album? For instance, in Windows you can just select all of the files and then right click and go to Properties where any tags you edit get applied to each of the files. I'd prefer to do it all in Finder, but if there's some way through iTunes, or another app, I'd be glad to hear about it.

That's the problem though, the tracks aren't in the same album according to their current id3 tags.

I cannot delete newly added tracks no matter what I do. Any suggestions??

Make sure you are doing the delete when looking at your library ("Music"), not a playlist.

Can not edit id3 tags since upgrade to iTunes 8.1: permissions problem (?)

Hi all,
I am angry at myself for having upgraded to 8.1 before I knew that it's ok, and angry at Apple releasing this update with too many problems. Here is my list:
(1) I cannot change ID3 tags within iTunes for certain tracks. I usually click on one or several tracks, press Command+i for information, then change the desired tags (e.g. genre, album, etc.) and click ok. Only that iTunes won't let me write anything. I found that I have no longer write permission to exactly these tracks (my music is on an external LaCie Firewire800 HD). What I did so far:
- I tried to run "Repair permissions" on the internal HD.
- I clicked on the iTunes music folder on the external hard drive, opened the information window and changed under "Sharing & Permissions" the rights to read&write for my user account. I clicked on "Apply to enclosed items", which should set the permissions to all elements within the folder.
Any ideas? My system is freshly installed (~3weeks old), everything is updated.
(2) Probably related to (1): certain files and documents on my internal hard drive have wrong permissions. Firefox for example is locked as read only, and I cannot update it via the "Check for update" in the help menu. I know there is an update available, as I am using 3.0.6 and the newest is 3.0.8. Repair permissions did not help. See the screen shot for the grayed out "Check for updates" menu entry.

(3) In iTunes, I have a smart playlist in which all songs rated with four or more stars are gathered. I found songs in this list that I did not rate yet, and they all have odd "empty" stars in comparison to the songs I rated myself. What's up with that? See screenshot, some of the songs of the album "I love Jazz" have these odd stars:

That's exactly what I did, it took ~20sec to complete the "apply to enclosed items" command (there was heavy disk access), but it does not improve. The permissions stay the same for the files/folders in question. It's very odd, have a look at the screenshot:
Some folders have correct permissions, others (to which I have no access through iTunes) show "admin" twice as the only user who is allowed to write. Repair permission does not help. I have hundreds of files/folders where permissions are wrong, only since the upgrade recently.

How to edit ID3 tag of mp3 file?

However, there are many free apps available for mp3 editing- one that I use is Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/).
Just open MP3 in Audacity(v1.2.6), go to Project > Edit ID3 tags.

Id3 tags for songs already on the ipod

I have properly edited my id3 tags for songs already on the ipod. How can I update the tags for the same music that is on my PC???

So, any idea on how to get the tags updated in the Library?
Yes. Repeat your edits on the songs in the Library.
In the future, don't edit stuff directly on the iPod. Edit it in iTunes and then sync the iPod to copy the changes to it.

Itunes 11 ignores ratinga in newly added tracks - why???

I have just removed all the music tracks from my itunes library (running on Windows 7). Then I added one folder that contained all my songs.
The songs were added but 95% of my ratings are gone. It looks like only .mp4 files (likely the ones I got from Apple store) have their ratings set properly or as they were set in the metadata of the files. It looks like all the other (mostly .mp3) files ended up with no ratings. It took me a lot of time to rate these songs and make sure that the ratings were stored in the metadata of the files. Now itunes 11 appears not to care about that at all...
Did anyone else notice that, i.e., had the same problem? What is it? I'd like to think that I did something wrong but I am affraid that Apple, in its wisodom is, yet again, is doing something that erases weeks of my work. Why would itunes not read ratings for newly added mp3 files? Windows Media Player reads the metadata properly for any mp3 or mp4 file added to its library.
Can anyone offer any inside view into this? Any idea if it is me missing something, or is it a bug in itunes 11 or is it Apple telling me to buy all my music from the Apple store?
Thanks.

I realized that the mp4 songs that have correct ratings were not really removed from my library - it looks like they are in the cloud.
In short it looks like itunes just ignores the ratings while adding new tracks. But why??? It is so easy to reset ratings after reading tracks in and so difficult to add them... What is the logic here...??? Thanks.

ID3 tags for non-purchased TV shows

I think Apple's approach to ID3 tags for purchased TV shows is perfect. You can browse by the show name, select the one you want (ie. Lost vs Desperate Housewives), then the specific episode names appear on the next iPod screen.
However, all of the ID3 tags used for purchased shows are not available for shows downloaded through bittorrent or recorded with EyeTV. This means we can't use tags for "Season", "Episode #" and "Show". I think they would work if only we could declare the "Video Kind: TV Show", but this option is grayed out in the file's "Get Info" options tab.
This severely impacts browsing for videos on the iPod. Currently I have to name my videos something like this "CSI: Season 6: Episode 1: Bodies in Motion" in order to browse effectively for the file on my iPod. I'd love to name it simply "Bodies in Motion" -- WITHIN the "Season 6" folder -- WITHIN the "CSI" folder. [I'm not using "folder" literally -- I'm just trying to imply a hierarchical structure.] Without these tags, this "foldered" browsing isn't possible.
Anybody figured out how to get around this obstacle?

I downloaded a TV Show and three music videos and the music videos are on my Ipod but the TV show is not and there is no category for TV only for movies and suggestions

Adding/Editing ID3 Tags

I've been assigned the task of helping faculty with iTunes U and have a question concerning ID3 Tags. Is there a way of adding/editing the ID3 tags of QT files outside of iTunes and before uploading the .mp4 files?
Thanks
Jerry

Unfortunately Quicktime and iTunes store and access the metadata differently.
You will need to ultimately edit your metadata via iTunes for use via iTunes U.
Applescript or automator actions can save you a lot of effort.
Check out Doug's applescripts for iTunes to learn more.

Editing ID3 tags

I want to keep track of which albums I have backed up on CD in compressed format. I am already using Comments for other information. I noticed a lot of new items in the View Options window, and I would like to use one of these, Category, to hold a few bytes to indicate whether a track or album has been backed up.
Problem! I can't see any way to add or edit information for these items using iTunes. Is there a way to do this in iTunes, or can you suggest a third party app that can do this?
Thanks,
Lyon

hi paperlion46,
this is not a direct answer on how to use ID3 tags... but I just want to point out a very usefull automatic field to manage your backup; "Date added".
I personally found that the easiest way to manage backup is to simply write the date of your backup. then, by simply sorting your songs based on the "Date added" column, you can select songs added after your backup date.
that way, you don't need any extra step to manage your backup.

Artwork, podcast notes and editing ID3 tags

Hello
I'm trying to get to a point where information about the content of my show appears on the iPod, in iTunes and any other podcatching application/mp3 player. In my case that would be a artist/track listing of the music featured on my podcast.
I tried editing the ID3 tags under the 'media' tab in Libsyn by inserting the artist/track listing into the comments box but that didn't work. I then read about how to edit the ID3 tags using iTunes but that seemed to refer to editing the tags in a dowloaded podcast and not the tags on a podcast uploaded to Libsyn's server.
So, how do I edit my ID3 tags to achieve the results I'm looking for?
Oh.....and I'm also trying to do that thing where my logo will appear in iTunes and on an iPod when the podcast is playing but I'm not having much luck there either. I can't get the logo to appear in my iPod at all. I'm able to get it to appear in the flip section at the top of iTunes but shouldn't it also be in the bottom left hand corner of the iTunes window?
Thanks
Neil

When you edit the ID3 tags in iTunes, the information is stored in the file. When this file is subsequently uploaded to a server, and then downloaded by a user, the tags carry through and are available to the user's iTunes/iPod. So you need to use iTunes to add whatever ID3 tags you want before uploading your file.
Hope this helps,

Filtering not working for newly added child objects in master-detail table

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 version.
Problem scenario:
Filtering of records is not working for newly created child objects in a master-detail scenario.
Steps to reproduce this issue using HR Schema (using LOCATIONS and DEPARTMENTS table ) :
1. Create Business components (EO's & VO's ) for LOCATIONS & DEPARTMENTS table)
1. Create a .jspx page and insert a readonly master table of Locations
2. Insert a child table (inline-edit table) of Departments and enable filtering
4. For the child table, drag and drop CreateInsert operation as a toolbar button .
5. Create a new child record using the toolbar button and enter data .
6. Filtering on the newly created child record's attributes does not work.
Please note that the same filter works for existing child records.
Any suggestions for resolving this issue?
Thanks,
Vikas

Found from Fusion Developer's Guide the following snippet about QBE functionality :
"+When you create data controls, all data collections will automatically include a Named Criteria node with an All Queriable Attributes criteria. This is the default view criteria that includes all the searchable attributes or columns of the data collection. You cannot edit or modify this view criteria+. "
So, the question is if the implicit view criteria cannot be edited, how else to set the query execution mode to "Both" ?
Shouldn't ADF BC support this by default? Is this a bug?
Note:- If you create a maste-detail table using POJO datacontrols, filter works correctly for newly created child records also .
This seems to be an issue with ADF-BC datacontrols only.
Thanks,
Vikas

Cannot edit iTunes tags

It appers that a fair number of my itunes music files can no longer be edited, ie the tag metadat is greyed out. I think that this has happened since creating a new smaller library to use with itunes match and thn reopening my older much larger (80,000 plus songs).
Anybody got any ideas what is going on?
Also since the last couple of iTunes updates my album covers are no longer available on my iphone4S
Thanks for any help

I have seen this problem listed with other forums and had the same problem myself. The problem is simple and so is the solution. It would appear that iTunes 5 does not handle multiple ID3 tags very well, and so, you must use a program like MP3 Rage to go in and delete them. There is a way to do this en masse in the program. I am hoping that it will be fixed soon.

Mass editing ID3 Tags

How can I edit over 3000 songs with no current ID3 tags? They all show up as [Artist-Partial Album Name...] in the song title space, with no song titles in sight. Is there a free application I can download that can identify these songs and rename them all?
Extra info...all these songs are currently in my iTunes and on my iPod Touch. I want to edit them and add the newly labelled songs to my iPhone 4S. Not sure if that's at all helpful to know.
Thanks!

The best tool to rename files that have missing or bad ID3 tags is to use MusicBrainz Picard.
MusicBrainz Picard is a cross-platform (Linux/Mac OS X/Windows) application written in Python and is the official MusicBrainz tagger.
Picard supports the majority of audio file formats, is capable of using audio fingerprints (PUIDs, AcoustIDs), performing CD lookups and disc ID submissions, and it has excellent Unicode support. Additionally, there are several plugins available that extend Picard's features.
When tagging files, Picard uses an album-oriented approach. This approach allows it to utilize the MusicBrainz data as effectively as possible and correctly tag your music.
