Changing track name

Is it possible to change a track's name when I bring it into a new playlist WITHOUT changing the name elsewhere? In other words, if I have a track named "dog" in my library, and I move it into a playlist, is it possible to change its name to "cat" in that playlist only, without simultaneously changing the name in the library?
Another way to ask this, if I'm being confusing:
I'm often in the situation of building multiple playlists, each of which might contain the same song - but I'd like to have a different name for the song in each playlist. So that the same song (same piece of music) would be in several different playlists, but would be called "Joe" in one playlist, "Sally" in another, "George" in another, etc.
Possible?

A playlist is only a set of links or shortcuts to the original file in the library so any change made to the file is reflected everywhere it shows up. It can't be one thing in one place an another in a different place because essentially there is only one file.

    How do I change track names manually?

    There are a few ways:
    Highlight song, press function key f2, edit name, press enter.
    You can edit other fields by clicking twice in them slowly, click too fast and iTunes will play the track
    Or you can highlight one or more songs and either right-click and choose Get Info, or press ctrl-i to bring up a dialog box for editing properties.
    iTunes won't let you edit properties of tracks that are read-only or for which your account does not have write permissions. See this post if that applies.

  • After changing track name, sequence no longer alphabetical

    I decided to make a few changes to my iTunes library to ensure that, for all my classical music, the song name was preceded by the composer's name in the few situations where this was not already the case. So I made the necessary changes through the usual Get Info/Details which worked fine.
    But I found that, when I then sorted by Name, the list was no longer in proper alphabetical sequence since the tracks that had been altered were still in their original position. The revised names were showing but out of sequence.
    I tried switching to other sequences before returning to Name sequence to see if that might clear things but it did not help - the old order still remained when I returned to Name sequence
    Any ideas why this might have happened? I am using iTunes 12 on a Windows 7 PC

    Thanks, guys.
    When I right clicked on the column heading and enabled Sort Name it was obvious that the "normal" tracks had no sort name whereas the problem tracks had a sort name equal to the original name. I then went into Get Info/Sorting and deleted Sort Name from the offending tracks and this worked fine.
    I will just need to remember that, if I am changing the name in Get Info/Details, I will need to also blank the sort name in Get Info/Sorting
    Thanks for your help

  • I am having trouble editing track names and information in my Itunes library.  Help center says click on selected track, click on file, click on get info, make changes, and press save.  When I get to get info, it won't let me change anything. Help??

    How do I edit track names and information in my I-tunes library?  I followed the Help Center instructions, but it will not let me change anything.  Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Those symptoms usually indicate a permissions problem. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice.

  • How do I manually change the genre or track name

    I'm new here, so forgive me if this is easily done. I would like to know how to manually change a song's track name, or genre in iTunes. If i feel like a song is more appropriately labeled "pop" vs "rock" can I change the label? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, i'd like to be able to do the same with track names. Thanks.

    Right click on the track you want to change. Choose Get Info and then the Info Tab. You can change the song name, artist, genre etc. in there.
    You can also update multiple items, however beforehand you sort your tracks into the order you want, say for instance by Artist. Click on the first track you want to change, hold down the shift key and click on the last you want to change and all the tracks in between will be selected. After that it's right click etc as above.

    Go to \Music\ abnd find the iTunes folder.
    Right click - Properties.
    Make sure it is not Read Only.
    Also, make sure you have full *Read/Writes permissions* to the iTunes folder and all contents.

  • Cant change information on some tracks, such as change the track name/pic

    I cant change the information on some tracks such as the track name or the picture. Itunes says in the picture square "Album illustraties niet bewerkbaar" (translated --> albumillustrations not changable).
    I hope there is some sort of simple sollution i haven't thought of.

    Corne,
    I had the same problem. I checked the extensions on my mac in Finder and saw I imported wav files in stead of mp3. You can change the import-settings in I-tunes. This worked for me.

  • I used to be able to change track & artist names & other song info in "View" / "Info"; can no longer do

    I used to be able to change track & artist names & other song info in "View" / "Info" (or Command I) but can no longer do. The info shows up "greyed". It seems to be on tracks from CDs I imported or downloaded from sources several years ago (pre Gracenotes).
    Any suggestions on how to fix?
    Thanks!

    I'm having a similar issue. I just downloaded new songs and I can't edit the information or artwork because they are all greyed out. I didn't have that problem until I upgraded to iTunes 11!

  • XBox Music - Changes my album tags, track names an...

    I have a well organised music collection on my PC with correct album/artist tags. When I copy music over to the phone (Lumia 920) XBox Music ends up replacing some track tags with random artists, track names, album names and artwork. It also doesn't display some album artists despite correct tags. I never had any kind of problem like this on my previous phones (last being HTC Titan on WP 7.8. Has anyone else had this issue and what can be done to fix it?
    Thanks

  • How to change file name of duplicated audio track??????

    I option-clicked-dragged an audio track vertically to create a new track (the manual says to drag the track number but that doesn't seem to work - I dragged the single region). I created a new track name. I then dragged the new track to the right, so the notes are displaced. However, both tracks point to the same file (when I delete some audio in one track, the corresponding audio is automatically deleted in the other track - wrong behavior).
    How do I get the second track to be stored in a new file?
    Thanks

    this is normal behavior, option dragging makes a new region, but it still is using the same audio file.
    to create a new audio file out of the copy you can, from the audio menu in the arrange window choose "Convert regions to new audio files" this will turn it into a new audio file

  • Manually changing the Track name in my Library?

    When importing songs from an external CD, the songs are coming up Track 1, Track 2 and so on. The Itunes doesn't find a supported name.  How can I rename the Track in my Library to the song name?

    Then follow the first steps I mentioned, because iTunes can only find track names for commercial CDs:
    Simply select the song and right-click/Get Info/Info>Name and type in the title you want.
