Confuse on "Clean" tag on the songs

Hello everyone.
What I understand about the "Clean" tag is that it is safe to listen to even for kids; no offensive or cussing in the lyrics. Am I correct on the use of that tag?
I am confuse on the tag "Clean" on the songs I have on my music library though. Those are not podcasts. I have somewhere on the web about tagging podcasts but am confuse on tagging "Clean" some songs. I have also read that when a song is tagged as "Clean"; it means lyrics has been modified of some sort. Is that true?
The songs I have in the music library does not contain any offensive or cussing in the lyrics. And I know the original lyrics of those songs and those does not contain any form of offensiveness or cussing. I even found some American music lyrics having more offensive lyrics or cussing in the lyrics but has no tag.
Thanks for everyone's input!

Absolutely not. 
"Clean" means it is an "Explicit" song that has been cleaned up to somebody's satisfaction, but the message is still quite recognizable even if the non-clean words have been removed.  The usual versions of hip-hop songs that you hear on the radio are done this way.
Songs that are actually clean are not labeled one way or another.

  • After cleaning my music, how do I update the tags in the songs?

    I have cleaned the music in my itunes. Since I have a lot of music (>1000 albums) it has taken me weeks to get a good result.
    In a next step, i want to update the tags of the mp3 songs that are stored on my nas. I want to write the changes made in itunes into each of the songs on the nas.
    Is this possible, what steps do I have to follow?
    I may have 95% mp3 songs, some aren't...

    The best way is to connect it to the computer you normally use to sync it.
    Never synced it? You should. This is the only way to ensure it is properly backed up before upgrading iOS.

  • I have "Explicit" song tags in iTunes, but they (the tags, not the songs) are not showing up on my iPhone.

    Hi,
    I recently found a way to add the "EXPLICIT" tag to songs in my iTunes Library (using Subler), and just presumed that the tags were not showing up in my iPhone Music because the phone simply did not have the function to display them.
    However, after updating to iOS 7, and seeing every song I have ever purchased, I noticed that the iPhone can indeed show whether songs are explicit or not (by marking them with a letter 'E').
    Therefore I am just wondering why I can see whether songs are explicit on my Mac, yet not on my iPhone. I have tried removing the songs from my iTunes Library, syncing to remove them from my phone, re-adding them to my Library, and then re-syncing to put them back onto my phone, and the explicit tag still does not show up.
    Please can you help me resolve this.
    Thanks

    If you are syncing your contacts from your PC with iCloud, they are not transferred to your phone using iTunes.  They are synced to your phone using iCloud, either over wifi or your cellular data network.
    First go to icloud.com with your computer browser, sign into your account and open Contacts there to confirm that your contacts appear.  If they do, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your account and turn Contact on.  Assuming your phone is either connected to wifi or your cellular data network, the contacts should then download from iCloud to your phone.

    If you buy them as a Ringtone, then Itunes should automatically put them in Tones. It is a huge hassle and takes time most of us don't have to waste, when we purchased them as Tones and Apple told me they would automatically show up in Tones if purchased from Itunes Store. NOT!  And we shouldn't have to google to find the answer. They should make that clear on Itunes store.  Very disappoiinted in the Itunes upgrades that have caused so many problems.

  • HT1711 What if I bought a clean version of the song on accident when I really wanted the explicit version?

    I bought a clean version of a song but I still want it just the explicit version of it... Is it possible to refund and or switch it out?

    Contact iTunes Customer Service and explain that the item was purchased by mistake.  They may or may not grant the exchange, but it is worth asking.
    The iTunes Store is well aware that nobody  actually wants the Clean version. The Clean songs are only there to look good for the authorities, or for people buying songs for little kids.

  • I tunes has deleted all the songs from my HDD literally as I watched??!!

    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I Thought my PC was protected from this kind of invasion??????
    All my music/videos and Purchases have literally dissapeared from itunes folder and hard drive. It was there half an hour ago and all that happened is:
    I forgot my password. It is even more serious because I was already signed in and downloading a video and was only asked for my password when i wanted to view my account whilst the download was taking place (Itunes must have remembered my password and logged me in automatically because I did not sign in to download the song but it was happening). Anyway...i went through the password reset procedure and returned to itunes to find an empty area where all my music/podcasts/purchases/videos should be.
    (I have not plugged my ipod today in at this stage)
    So I look in the music files for my music and it has all gone!! everything!!
    I then looked at the empty itunes and it said there are two downloads pending. one was a video i had already downloaded successfully into itunes last week and one was the video i was downloading today when the problem ocurred.
    so next I went into my account and looked at purchase history and it does not show any purchases other than the one that was downloading today. This is despite me purchasing 3 songs and videos since Christmas??
    All my other history and account information is still there.
    I tried importing the itunes library file left in the my music folder but was told I had no privilages.
    Next I rebooted PC but no change
    Next i plugged in my ipod and it came up with the ipod was synced to a different itunes library do i want to sync and replace. I said no
    I removed ipod quickly
    So I still have all songs/videos and podcasts on my ipod but an empty music folder on my hard drive and an empty itunes library that thinks it does not belong to my ipod.
    That is a massive amount of corruption to my PC in a space of 30 mins. could you please explain what you have done to my itunes and more importantly the mechanism that allows your program to enter my hard drive and delete all the music in front of my eyes??. Can i restore the library using the files on my ipod and what has happened to my purchases in the 'my account section of itunes'
    This is obviously very serious and VERY urgent as it touches on hacking my PC unless i have missed something???
    Couild someone please get back to me ASAP with ideas/help
    Thank you

    I have found a solution that works 100% with my ipod 5th generation 30gig video with the following symptoms:
    a). Ipod has all my music on it along with videos podcasts etc etc…
    b). the My documents/My music/itunes files library etc are all suddenly empty on the HDD and all music/video in folder has gone. I even ran searches of the whole HDD and all music has gone.
    c). When ipod is plugged in you get the message ‘this ipod is synced with another itunes – do you want to – ‘sync and replace’ or ‘copy purchases from this ipod to this itunes’ or ‘CANCEL’
    If this is not the problem with your ipod then another solution may be best for you. If it is ….please read on. PLEASE READ ALL TEXT BEFORE ATTEMPTING.
    1. go to ‘my computer’ and then to the tabs at the top: tools – folder options – view and in hidden files and folders make sure that show hidden files and folders is checked.
    2. leave the my computer window open so it can be viewed.
    3. plug in you ipod and it will try to sync and give you the options mentioned in intro
    4. Make sure you press cancel and the ipod should try to sync for a couple of seconds then the ‘do not disconnect’ symbol on the ipod should stop flashing and your normal menus should appear on the ipod.
    5. The ipod name should now be in the itunes folders on the LH side of itunes as usual. your itunes folders (perhaps purchases may show up)should be empty due to the fault.
    6. click on the ipod to get the status and capacity screen and on this screen check the ‘disk use’ button.
    7. the ipod should be seen in the ‘my documents’ folder if it is not disconnect and let it try to sync again but make sure you do not let it.
    8. Once ipod drive is seen in ‘my computer’ minimise itunes (do not close or drive may disappear)
    9. Go to the itunes directory on the Windows machine (My Music/ itunes by default) and delete the XML file and the ITL file which is the library database installed when you hooked up the iPod.
    10. With those files deleted the itunes library is now empty as it should be for this process.
    11. in ‘my computer, right click over the ipod drive and click ‘explore’ Find the folder called iPod Control it will appear to be transparent as it was a hidden folder
    12. Copy that folder to anywhere on the PC which will take a while if you have a lot of songs. you may as well copy it into ‘my music next to the itunes folder for neatness. Even though it appears to be filled with many files with nonsensical names this is in fact the music library on the iPod.
    13. When this copy is complete right click on the coppied file and go to ‘properties and uncheck ‘hidden’ and ‘read only’ tabs and the folder should then appear as a normal folder
    14. Maximise iTunes and go to the top tabs and go EDIT/PREFERENCES/ADVANCED and make sure that ‘keep itunes music folder organised’ and ‘copy files to itunes music folder when adding to library’ are selected.
    15. This is important to get iTunes to organise the songs using the ID3 tags in the song files you just copied over.
    16. Go to ‘my music’. If new XML and ITL files have appeared delete them now .
    17. Now in itunes go to FILE/ADD folder to library and Next, select the coppied ipod control folder from ‘my music’. That's it- you will now see iPod songs copied to itunes desktop and nicely organised and in the iTunes database as they were before the fault. NOTE this can take a while
    18. Once completed restart computer first and check library is stable and all songs etc have restored and are stable). you will notice a new xml and library file have appeared in ‘my music’
    19. Connect the ipod once you are happy the scontent you want is back in the library on itunes.
    20. This time select ‘sync and erase’ You will see your ipod be emptied (GULP!) but then itunes should start to restore all the songs etc from the library to your ipod. again this will take time.
    21. Once complete you should be back to normal and you can decide whether to store the ipod control folder in ‘my music’ somewhere as a backup or delete it
    I really hope this helps but It worked for my 5th gen ipod 30 gig video and so should work for you. If it fails for any reason I cannot be held responsible and you do this at your own risk.

  • I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

    I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them. Please help! On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
    I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

  • ITunes tags are not the same as the actual mp3 tags for some songs

    The other day I noticed that some of the names for songs in my iTunes library had changed from the correct names to the file name (which was Artist - Name) but the rest of the tags (album, genre, ect.) for those tracks remained unchanged in iTunes. I went back and checked the details of the messed up songs in windows explorer and noticed that all of the tag information for those songs is now gone. Only one out of 30 or so songs seems to have this problem, and it appears to have happened at random. I will have an entire albums that have no problem, except one random song that will have its tags removed, despite the fact that it was added to the computer and to iTunes in the exact same way as the rest of the tracks in the album.
    When I update the title (or any field) in iTunes it updates it in the actual id3 tag, but the other tag info is still missing. So far, the only way I have found to fix all of the missing info would be to change all of the tag information for every single tag for every single messed up song (which is ~800) and then change them back. I tried selecting the file and using get info without changing the tags but it didn't apply them to the actual tags.
    Is there any way to sync the tags that show up in iTunes to the actual files tags?

    I find the best way to do this is to right click on the song in iTunes and convert then select convert ID3 tags to V1.1 this usually completes the tag and adds all the missing info, provided it is in iTunes corectly.
    Were these songs you Dled or ripped form a cd directly?

  • How to edit the song information contained in the ID3 tags?

    Hello!
    I am a newbie to Mac. I used to change the ID3 tags of songs when using Windows by right clicking on 'Properties' and changing the values there. How to do the same on my Mac? I saw only one option related to ID3 tags in iTunes' interface - 'Advanced >> Convert ID3 Tags...'. I clicked on it, checked 'ID3 tag version:' and selected 'v2.4' from the drop down list. It does not work.
    So, how do I do it?
    Thank you!

    The iTunes Help Menu as well as the forums is a great resource for information about iTunes and "how to".
    From the iTunes Help Menu:
    Editing song information:
    When you're connected to the Internet, you can retrieve information about the songs on a CD from Gracenote CDDB (CD database) on the Internet. You can also enter song information into iTunes yourself, or change the information that was retrieved.
    1. Select the song you want to edit, then choose File > Get Info.
    2. Click Info.
    3. Make your changes to the song information, then click OK.
    By default, changing information in iTunes also changes the name of the song on your hard disk. To make changes in iTunes without changing the files on your hard disk, choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Advanced button and click General. Then click to remove the checkmark next to Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized.
    You can also make global changes by selecting a group of songs the key board short cut of CMD-I (Apple Key +I).

  • How do I set the Explicit/Clean tags in an MP3 file?

    Does anyone know of a utility that will let me set the Explicit and Clean tags/flags in an MP3 file? I have Subler, and that works fine for MPEG4 files & derivatives.
    Even a command line utility would be useful.

    Rick,
    You need to right-click on the FP-1000 and choose Edit This Device. You will then have a checkbox in the middle right portion of the window called Factory Configuration. Un-check it. At this point, every time the FP-1000 is re-powered, it will configure all IO modules with the "User" configuration, rather than the factory default configuration. Note: You must do these steps while the FP-1000 is connected to the computer and powered on.

    Aaron

  • Artists showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed

    My artists are showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed.
    Am I missing something?
    For example, I have 3 songs that are part of a compilation CD. I've change them to no longer being part of a compilation, and changes all of the tags of Arist and Album artist to the artists name, however they still show up as 'Various Artists' on my iPhone.
    Any ideas?

    You may find you need to remove the songs and then add them back again.

  • Found a typo on the song "Time and Confusion" by Anberlin

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but hopefully a moderator/admin will see it and report it to someone at Apple. Or, if someone could give me an email to contact someone at Apple about this, that would be helpful.
    I realize it's minor, but the song "Time and Confusion" by Anberlin, on their album Never Take A Friendship Personal, is spelled "Time and Confussion".
    If this could be remedied, that would be nice. Thank you!

  • Will iTunes Match change all of the tags on my songs?

    I have changed many of the song titles, and albums etc. When I use iTunes Match will it change them all to what they are on iTunes?

    Hi,
    No. Match only works with music in your computers iTunes library.
    You will need to copy your music from the ipad to your computer. If you search the web, you will find apps that will allow you to do this.
