Does ITUNES read the ID3 V1 or V2 tags or both?

am having a problem with ITUNES inconsistently loading my IPOD. The music gets scattered. I think its because my ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags are incomplete or they are missing.
My questions are as follows:
1.) Does ITUNES read the ID3 tag info to store into catergories in the Ipod.
2.) If so what order it read the information i.e.
If the ID3V 1 tag and the ID3V 2 are both present
which Tag does it take its information from.
3.) What happens if the ID3 is incomplete (missing fields)
does Itunes use those blank fields as being filled
with Spaces?
4.) If it is incomplete does it try to read the info from
both?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Kevin

It doesn't work. I'v already tried that. I'v even tried converting the id3 tags and then removing them from the libray and adding them again. Still nothing. It might help if someone could tell me where itunes gets it information for its tags when you add music to its libray seeing as it doesn't use id3 tags for the information like any smart program does.

  • HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

    Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
    I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
    If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
    Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
    Which is best ?

    It does both at the same time.
    When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
    You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
    This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
    I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
    Then there are no "extra" files around.

  • Does iTunes in the cloud only work for purchased music?

    Hi,
    I was wondering, does iTunes in the Cloud only work for purchased music?
    Also, does the automatic wifi sync feature not sync everything that it would if you manually iniate the wifi sync? The reason I ask is because my iPhone is often connected to my charger, and then today I decided to perform a manual wifi sync and it had a lot of content to update, definitly way more than any changes I've made since I plugged it in to the charger last night.
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Hi Brandon ...
    You can turn on Music, Apps,and Books by tapping Settings > Store
    Connecting your iPhone to a wall charger should not have any effect on sycning.

  • The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?

    The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?

    Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
    To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
    If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
    The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
    Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
    Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
    The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
    (What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

    When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to?  I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.   It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password.  They took about 41+ dollars from my account.   I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

    No. From the second link below.

  • How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name itself?

    Hi everyone,
    So I have this file with songs from everywhere. I spent quite some time now to make sure that the structure of each file's name is as such : "Singer - Song name", hoping that everything would be read by iTunes accordingly. However, either iTunes read it well, or it didn't read it at all ("Singer - Song name" appearing in Title alone), or iTunes read the "media" of the file (ie. what the guy I downloaded it from wrote for it in the Preferences, which usually is in capital letters or with a bunch of weird underscores). As I'm OCD and need everything to be neat, I'm highly tensed right now. I really want everything to be neat and clear!
    So, how do I make sure that iTunes reads the files' names such that it knows the structure is "Singer - Song name"? Thanks.

    iTunes doesn't use file names to determine how music appears in your library,  Rather, it uses metadata that is split between:
    data elements that are embedded within the media files
    data elements that are included in the entries in the iTunes database
    No amount of reorganization, renaming or other manipulation at the file level will make any difference to how songs will appear in iTunes.  Using your example:
    the value of the track number element is 1
    the value of the artist element is "Elvis Presley"
    the value of the song name element is "Blue Suede Shoes"
    Depending on how you configure iTunes then the file name is either:
    completely independent of iTunes (i.,e., the file containing this song could be xyz.mp3)
    dependent on the metadata managed by iTunes, (i.e., when you have these two options set:
    then iTunes will set the file name to be 1-01 Blue Suede Shoes.mp3 where:
    the file is in a folder called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the album)
    that folder is in one called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the artist) which is in iTunes Media\Music
    Going back to your question "How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name" the answer is simple - you can't, as this is not how iTunes works.  There are some third-party utilities that you can use to set some metadata element values based on parsing of file names which might be a useful first step.  However, to use iTunes effectively you should really forget about / ignore file names - manage your media using appropriate metadata and allow iTunes to look after file names behind the scenes.

  • Hi, we have a G5 Blade server running OS X 10.5.8 with a dual Fibre Channel card. The OS does not read the card and cannot establish connection to the RAID controller. I have tried to move the card to another port with no luck. Ran all the updated softwar

    I have tried to move the card to another port with no luck.Ran all the updated software possible. Please can someone advice

    Hi,
    Was the card previously working in that machine? If it was and you have a G5 tower you could try the card in there. Here is a list of Apple fibre cards and cables which show what's compatible with what. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1769
    The card should appear in the System Profiler under Fibre Channel and PCI Cards.

  • Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

    why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

    Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
    I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
    When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
    "After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
    Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
    I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
    Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
    It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
    Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
    I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

  • ITunes changing the ID3 tags and deleting music after syncing or opening

    After syncing (or opening iTunes), iTunes changes the tags in about 25% of my music (this time it was about 90% affected). It removes the total track number on some of the songs. This has been a consistent problem. I noticed that it also actually erased some of my music, random tracks in my library are now missing (gone in windows explorer also). I have reformatted my iPod and restored it, it's not that. What is going on!! Going through and fixing 7500 songs every time I sync is ******* me off
    Here is a picture of what it is doing: removing the total track on some songs
    http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/jupiterssj4/itunes.jpg
    Forgot to mention that it also copied the artist field data to the album artist field... had to erase all of those too

    Mine is doing the exact same thing. It happens every time I click on a song. Weird letter-number strings are inserted into the Comments field, my album art is gone, and the track numbers are messed up.
    I've tried upgrading to the new iTunes. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I turned off my soundcheck option and deleting potentially comprised files. Nothing's worked.
    I've tried emailing Apple directly and got no help. Anyone know what's going on???

  • Does iTunes in the cloud use up my icloud space?

    with the new itunes in the cloud,will my storage space be used to store the songs?

    iTunes in the cloud doen't use your storage space.  It is a service that allows you to redownload previously purchased music and certain other media from the iTunes store (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  However, you will have to download the music to your device in order to play it.
    There is a separate subscription service called iTunes Match that will allow you to access your iTunes library from iCloud.  It has its own storage space and doesn't use your iCloud storage plan.  (See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).

  • Does iTunes embed the isrc codes to the tracks we upload when using cdbaby?

    Use a third party app. If you are redoing your entire libary, I would suggest Muvundercover.
    Good to have a recommendation, but unfortunately i'm not currently running Windows.
    One issue I have with simply using search engines is that while you can often find decent cover art manually, the links seem to increasingly point to dodgy sites talking about file-sharing etc, and I am very wary of even clicking on the links.
    One advantage of music downloads is that you do tend to get decent artwork even if it's not embedded, but until I can get lossless audio I see little point for most stuff when the CD is just as cheap - convenience factor and impulse buys after a few beers tend to scupper this plan though!
    If itunes can rip CDs losslessly then I see little reason why the content vendors are so obstinate about allowing CD (or better) quality uncompressed legitimately purchased downloads.

  • Why does iTunes copy the same applications over and over at each sync?

    Everytime I sync my iPhone, I watch iTunes copy the same apps from the phone. Shouldn't it only do this if I added a new app? This causes syncs to take much longer than they should. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks.

    I've seen others mention this issue, yes. This should not be happening, however (I've never experienced it personally). Only newly downloaded apps or updated apps should sync. Performing a Restore (via iTunes) corrected the issue for one user.
