Display Track Info. When iTunes is minimized

Is it possible to have iTunes display the track information for the currently playing song when it is minimized? Most players will allow this now. I would think that iTunes would to.
Thanks for the help!

Try Synergy. Well worth the small (5€) shareware price.

How do I get the iTunes 12 miniplayer to display track info. All I get is a search box.

I can display track info, but only in the larger mini display - not what I want. How can I simply display track name, duration, time remaining when the mini display is at its smallest...? This wasn't a problem with earlier versions. Aaaargh!

Unable to edit track info in iTunes on a Mac Air

Hello,
I recently switched from a windows PC to a Mac Air. All my music was organizaed on an external hard drive. I have now imported the music in to my iTunes on my Mac Air. I am unable to edit individual track info when I use "Get Info". I tried to look up for permissions on the particular folder and found that they are all set as "Read Only".
Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Go to your Music (media) folder. The one that holds the actual files.
Click it and press Cmd+I or right click and select "Get Info"
In the Info pane, click the lock to change permissions:
You'll need to tnter your password to make any chnages.
Set ALL permissions to Read & Write
Click the Gear and select "Apply to enclosed items..."
Then click "OK" when asked if you're sure.
Let it apply to everything and THEN try editing the track oinfo.

Can't Fast-Forward or Rewind when iTunes is minimized

When iTunes is minimized and I hold down the right arrow to fast forward, the track only advances like 6 sec and continues to play. BUT when it's expanded it continues to fast-forward until I let go.
This never happend before I upgraded to iTunes6.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Really? Sorry to hear that. It fixed it just fine for me. (I say that now, but watch it not work for me soon. heh) I didn't have to re-start for it to work, so.
I wonder what it is that is making it work or not work for different users.

Keep track info when burning cd

When I burn a playlist to a cd (disk format: audio cd) I loose all track info when I play on a different computer. How can I keep the info?

Just to be clear, CD-TEXT is sort of considered to be part of the Red Book CD specification (an extension of the standard). From Wikipedia:
CD-TEXT is an extension of the standard "Red Book" Compact Disc specification, which allows text to be associated with each track. On most disks, this space is used to store the track and album titles as well as the performing artist name. The P and Q subchannels are normally used to store the information. The specification was released in September 1996, and backed by Sony. Support for CD Text is common, but not universal. Utilities exist to automatically rip CD-TEXT data, and insert it into CDDB or freedb.
I would have to think about this for a minute, but off the top of my head, I think iTunes is the only audio software I use that doesn't support CD-TEXT. Reading it is certainly not a difficult thing to implement, so it would be nice if Apple got around to this at some point, since CD-TEXT has been around for 10 years. Incidentally, I recently bought a new CD-RW drive for my PC, so I ripped all my CDs again with EAC. I was shocked to see how many pressed audio CDs I have with CD-TEXT information. Many of them are from the 90's.

Loosing track info when transferring music

I've suddenly started loosing track info when transferring music.
I can take a cd, copy it to My Collection (M4A, Mobile Optimised) and all the info is displayed ok. When I transfer it to my phone (N70) the track data is lost and all music is dumped into the Unknown Artist folder, yet it still shows ok in the phone folder on Music Manager on the PC. Bizarrely, previous tracks that have the correct Artist/Album etc on the phone do not show correctly in the phone folder in Music Manager.
Any clues as to what's going on? I've used Nokia Manager many times before without this problem.

How to display track name in iTunes

I've burned CDs with track titles using Toast 10. When played in a car sound system, track names are displayed.
iTunes display Track 01, 02 etc and not the name. As they are not commercial discs, I cannot use Gracenotes.
I've seen Microsoft automatically display track names (using a different disc) and so I was looking for a similar thing in iTunes.
How do I get iTunes to display the CD track names, not Track 01, 02 etc, just like a car sound system?
I'm using iTunes 10.6.1.
Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks Limnos.
Not sure about this. CD tracks used .wav format (needed to use it so my old windows XP computer could use them).
I suspect you've answered my question when you say iTunes does not support CD-text.
I selected Toast's Add CD-Text. I don't know if it's the same as your mentioned CD-text. As I know nothing of CD-text, if you know what it is, can you please briefly explain it to me?
Even though you say CDs do not contain track information, it must be stored on the CD somehow for the car sound system to display it as it has no internetconnection.

Track info causing itunes freeze?!

i am running windows xp on thinkpad - no built-in cd so using duronic drive. i insert a cd and when try to get track info - itunes hangs (i changed preferences so it didn't seek automatically as that also caused hang) - any ideas? thanks

The iTunes Match service does not modify your existing ID3 tags to insert tags from the iTunes Store. You're tags are synced to the cloud and remain just as they were in your original library if you download the "matched" tracks from the cloud.

I have latest version of iTunes and can't 'mute' when iTunes is minimized

Can anyone tell me why the latest update made this change to my computer? I can hit the mute button on my keyboard when the iTunes window is up and in use, and it will mute. But if iTunes is minimized, and I hit the the mute button on my keyboard, it won't allow me to mute.
Help!? And thanks....

Aha!!! It's not just me then. See my post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=905612&tstart=0
It's broken my Media Center remote control mute button as well my Apple keyboard mute button (if iTunes is running and is not at the front).

How can I reset family sharing and payment info when itunes requires verification information from a lost credit card?

I was attempting to make an App store purchase and the App Store required verification of my computer. The information the App Sotre - and ITunes require is the expiration date [ mm / yyyy ] and the security code off the back of my registered credit card. The card is lost - and so is the information. ITUnes will not allow me to change the payment information without verifying my information by - again - including the information from the back of the missing credit card. So I am stuck.

This is my account info for iTunes & AppStore:
This is the payment info in iCloud Family Sharing settings:
Obviously I was able to change the payment info in iTunes/App Store. What do I have to do to make that carry over to iCloud?

Itunes 11.1.5.5 automatically updates all sorts of track info when I play tracks

I have a massive library, and historically itunes has been shaky about the way it orders things when you have inconsistent info across albums (album artist, track number info. year of release). I keep my library to where they only have track name, artist name, album name, and track number, but with this version when I play any track or even right-click a track and hit "get info", it automatically fills in "album artist", album artwork, year of the release, and any other info they can find. I've looked all over the software to try to figure out why, but there doesn't seem to be any option to turn it off.
So is there either a version that will NOT do this (I haven't tried installing the latest version yet but imagine it would have the same feature and I hate updating itunes), or otherwise is there a way to turn it off?
Thanks all.

Now it's actually changing the name of the artist and track names, so now if I'm playing music with the music sorted by the artist it will only play the one song, and then skip to whatever alphabetically comes next to whatever itunes decides the artists name should be. So unbelievably annoying, why in the world would this feature ever be incorporated into software, let alone without an easily available turn off option.

How to edit track info in iTunes for Windows

Sorry if this is a repeat but I've searched the discussions and didn't see one that really fit. I purchased a song off of a sound track and then a few days later I purchased the rest of the album. Turns out the single song I purchased was from a "Deluxe Album" and when I purchased the rest it was form the regular album. I was able to edit the name of the album on the Deluxe song so they are now grouped together in my library under one album (before they were in two separate albums) but the tracks are still not in order. The regular album tracks are numbered 2 of 17, 3 of 17,4 of 17 etc. but the deluxe song is numbered 1 of 21. How do I rename the track number, or some other idea, and put song #1 at the top to be played first??

In iTunes hightlight the song and do Get Info (control-I). On the right hand side of the track's Info tab is the track number which you can change (you'll probably need to change both the track number and the 'of' value. You may also want to check the values on that screen are consistent with the rest of songs in the album, and possibly on the Sorting tab.

Streaming MP3 playlist via QTSS... display track info?

I'm streaming an MP3 playlist using QuickTime Streaming Server. When playing in iTunes, the playlist name and current track title displays by default. That's great, but I would like the current artist name (and the option for album name) to display as well. How can I do this?
So far my only option is changing each track name to include the artist name. Surely there must be a more elegant solution...?
Thanks for any help.

Eventually figured this one out. It seems that it's a question of ID3 tags.
Found the clue at id3.org where they mentioned that id3v2.3 is the most popular implementation of tag (although id3v2.4 is the most current version and is supported by iTunes). My mp3s were all tagged 2.4. When streaming, this playlist displayed in iTunes only the playlist name and current track's filename (it included .mp3 extension).
Anyhow, down converted all ID3 tags from 2.4 to 2.3 and created a new playlist. Now, when streaming, the current track title, artist name and album name correctly display in iTunes.
Now I'd love to figure out how to get our radio station's logo to appear as the artwork. Not sure if this is possible since I've never seen in iTunes artwork associated with a stream. Any thoughts?

Cannot edit track info in itunes

I just downloaded iTunes v. 10.6.3.25
I connected my iPhone to my computer and let iTunes see that it's there. If I try to go in under devices to my music library that is on the phone NOT in the library on the computer and try to right click, get info, I cannot edit any of the track information in there.
Do I have to sync the phone to my iTunes and transfer all of the music to the computer to be able to edit the info? I have an older iPod and I can connect it, go into devices and edit in there with no issues, it just won't let me do it on the phone.
Please help!!

Personally, I would edit the information in your iTunes Library and then connect the iPhone and Sync the library with the iPhone.
Since it's a Sync (synchronization) of iTunes with your iPhone, any new information on the phone (such as play counts) will be synced with iTunes while the updated track information in the library will be synced with the phone.
