Changing album info

hi there, i was wondering if there is a quick way to change the album details on itunes or do i have to do it one at a time! i have imported some old mp3s and they have incorrect album details on it and would like t change them so itunes recognises them and puts up artwork for them??

Select the songs that should have the same album name, right click and select get info
In the Album filed type in the correct name of the Album

HT1399 When I import a CD to itunes, it splits the album in to multiple entries. I have changed the info on some but others just will not merge. Is there an easy way to do this and can I stop them from splitting in future? Thanks

Okay this is what fixed my problem. Some kind of error/glitch occured half-way through importing that third cd that prevented further imports from any other cd. Once I completely removed the half-imported cd album from my library I could further import cd's without any problems.

Trying to change album art and album info on ipod

i am trying to change the album art and album info on my ipod touch while it is plugged into itunes but while it shows in the itunes window that this information is gone, the ipod still has it and won't update ??
i have a nano that contains all my music with full description but would just like to transfer a handful of songs to my touch and don't want the albums listed and song titles because i just have a few songs from the artist like a compilation ?
any help welcome..thanks

JP:
Are you sure the artwork's gone? When you add artwork to a music track via iTunes, it is actually added via the ID3 tag, which are embedded in the song file. The only way that the artwork could be removed if if the tag was modified or you converted your music files to a format that does not support ID3 v.2.x tags.
When you Get Info for a single random song file, and click on the tab for artwork, is this pane empty?
Have you opened the show artwork box under the Source menu in iTunes? (click on the button with the rectangle below the Source menu).
Otherwise, I am at a loss as to how all of your artwork disappeared simply by moving it from one drive to another.

Difficult to edit album info in new iTunes.

Every since the new iTunes 11 I get frustrated every day.
I can't seem to organize my files like I used to. I used to be able to click control i = edit album info..I'd be able to hit "next" and organize info for every track in the album. I can no longer do that. I have to click on every single song seperately and edit it..no more next next next. Anyways..this is just one way the new iTunes is driving me nuts.
Why did they change it???
It was fine the way it has been for years.
If anyone knows how to easily edit album info, please let me know.
I mostly have problems when importing new music from downloaded mp3 files..unheard of things, like homeschooling history lessons audiobooks. Then I import it and sometimes it shuffles it up into 2 albums instead of one and I have to go back and highlight things, erase things, rename things, to get it to realize that this is one album, with many tracks.
Sigh.
Any help appreciated.
Also, if iTunes people read this: If it's not broken, don't fix it. No idea why they changed the way iTunes looks. It's so much more difficult to use now.

I have always managed my music manually, just tried the way you do it, cleaned up my libary synced with my phone and all is OK. Made edits and resynced all OK.
Will manage all my music via the libary which I suppose is the best way to do it anyway.
Thanks alot for your help.

Album info in 7.1.1

The new iTunes will not recognize album info when I am trying to rip CD's. Is it something I did or is anyone else finding the same problem?

Try this and see if it causes iTunes do get the album/track info when you import a CD:
In iTunes, go to: "Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing".
Make sure that the "automatically retrieve CD track names from the internet" option is selected.
Click "OK" to close the window and save your changes.

How to make changes to info in iTunes appear on my iPod Classic

What am I missing? In earlier versions of iTunes I could change the info on an imported CD, for instance, and when synced it would appear on my iPod. For instance, if the database doesn't supply a "composer" for an album I could put one in and then find that album by scrolling through composers on the iPod. Now (with a new 160gig Classic and the latest iTunes) the tags just don't seem to "take", although they continue to appear as changed on my iTunes screen. It seems to be a general problem with revising the tags but I choose this as a simple example. Is there some settings procedure I'm not following on either iTunes or the iPod? Or what?

Such changes should be mirrored to the device if you automatically sync the device. What happens if you make sure the *Sync only checked items* option is enabled, uncheck the tracks, sync, recheck them and sync again? Any better? If not the only other thing I can think of is that iTunes seems not to manage files with multiple tags terribly well. It may be possible to rebuild the tags as follows. Selecting some affected tracks, right/cmd click and use the option Convert id3 tags > None. Repeat once or twice. Once you have confirmed that no tags are present (look in Explorer/Finder) you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4). You will have to manually repair artwork if was embedded.

Cant change song info on new ios update

ok ever since i updated to iOS5 i cant change the song info on my ipod touch when i change the info on itunes?!?! it syncs but song info dosnt change ie. the song name,album.

check out does iTunes detect song codec and ID3-tag is v.2.3 or 2.4. If iTunes shows that it's unknow, you can't change tag ..... it's a bug which appeared in 10.5.x
I have the same problem when dropping songs into device, but there is a solution, convert songs in mp3 or other format, use, for example, Xilisoft Audio Converter Pro. So, I've lost over 1 Tb music I have underlined a string where you can see name of codec.

Script Error report when trying to "Find Album Info" for music in Windows Media Player

When I click on "Find Album Info" in Windows Media Player, it finds the correct media info. But when I click "Finish" after verifying everything is correct, it says "An error has occurred on this script page" and asks if I want to continue. I click
yes, it goes back to the last page of finding album info, I again click "Finish" to find the same "Script error" page?

Sir, that means the Windows Firewall Blocked the Script So try these steps hope it works for you :
1.) - Open the "Start Menu".
2.) - Go to the "Control Panel".
3.) - Double click "Security Center".
4.) - Click "Windows Firewall" in the top left.
5.) - Click "Change settings".
6.) - Click "Continue".
7.) - Click the "Exceptions" tab.
8.) - Scroll down and check all of the "Windows Media Player" options.

Album Info - Sync Issues

An album I had in my iTunes library had the wrong year in it so it was not in the correct order chronologically so I changed the album release year in this case from 2008 to 1994. However despite it changing in iTunes OK when it syncs over to my phone it reverts to 2008 on my phone but stays as 1994 on my iTunes library.
Any ideas? it is driving me mad!

I'm doing auto. It's kind of sporatic too. Sometimes it works when I change the album info but on others it makes it so the artist won't appear at all on my iPod. I have to do a search on the song to find it. Which is a complete pain when I want to find a specific song.

Album info doesn't save.

Changing info on any album won't save. I right click album, get info, I change the info and click "ok" and then nothing is changed.

So.........bottom line is that if you are interested in the best fidelity then itunes is not the way to go. If you are using WAV files you can only get artist/album info into itunes by importing the CD directly; not from an album folder that is already on your computer. Is this correct?

Itunes Genius changes album names

Having a strange issue...After changing albums/songs imported from cds to the album names on itunes, I update itunes match and genius. It then promptly reverts them to other names and removing the info I edited. Anyone know why this is happening?

Hi,
When you update metadata you do do not need to select update match or genius. The changes will work their way through naturally.

Why cant i change the info of a song

I have three different albums for the same album. I been trying to change it but itunes wont let me change the info of the artist. Does anybody know why?

I have had this happen as well. What I had to do was sync the iPod to remove the album and the resync the album back to the Classic. I've had this happen with my iPhones as well. Must be a bug in either the current OS or iTunes versions.
