Edit continuous track information

HI,
I mix my own cds and when I import them into itunes it is listed as one track only. I would like to list all the track titles that are on the cd but can't find a way of doing it. There does not seem to be an obvious way, well to me!, of creating extra track titles for an album using Get Info.
I would be grateful it anyone can point me in the right direction.
Ken

Hi Ed, Thanks for your help. Have tried your suggestion but unable to list all info in the space allowed for comments. I'm going to try splitting tracks and then adding the disc back into itunes. Hopefully, with split tracks, I'll be able to add the detail I want. Again, thankyou.

  • TS1468 Why can't I edit album track information in the INFO window, and more to the next track without having to do each track seperate?

    In iTunes 10, I could edit multiple track information in the (Info) tab and click to move to the next track within that album. Now with iTunes 11.1.3.8, I have to do each track seperate. It will not let me edit track information (as if track numbering), and click next to move to another track within the same album. It's a pain to have to do each song , and then click on the next song I want to edit. My music library is 171 GB (47,185 files & 19,498 folders). I can find the Duplicate files, but I can't edit like I use to in iTunes 10. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreicated!!!!! I will be an old man at the rate I'm going now.

    Either select a single track, Get Info, then use the Next/Previous buttons to move between them, or select multiple tracks, Get Info, and edit common properties. The next and previous buttons do not appear in multi-track Get Info (and never have).
    Regarding duplicates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • Track Information Lost on Upload

    I am having problems when I upload tracks into iTunesU. The track information (tags) and getting messed up. This results in files being listed out of order in iTunes U as well as resulting in missing track information upon download. Anyone else have this problem and or a solution?

    It sounds similiar to a problem I was having, and Apple's been looking at it. In my case, the problem occurs if I:
    1) Create the file in Audacity (and open source recorder)
    2) Add the ID3 tags in Audacity.
    3) Further edit the tags in iTunes.
    4) Upload the file to iTunes U.
    I've also had the problem occur when I've exported a file without ID3 tags to iTunes and then made the edit in iTunes. In every case, iTunes has seen the ID3 tags locally, but once uploaded, iTunes U loses all the track information. Unfortunately, it's not consistent -- Friday I did a bunch of tests and it wouldn't upload track information; I did the another round yesterday and it worked fine.
    This didn't happen when I recorded a file using GarageBand, exported it to iTunes to edit the ID3 tags, and then uploaded to iTunes U.
    I did notice that when I edited the ID3 tags using another program (like this one and then uploaded it, all the track information appeared.
    What program(s) are you using to create the content and edit the track information, and what's your workflow for those programs? And what kind of files are you trying to upload (mp3, m4a, mov, etc.)

  • And is there a way to preserve track information during editing process?

    Because I'm editing the gaps out of all the songs in my iTunes library, I'm spending tons of time re-entering the track information (Name, Artist, Genre, etc.) on every song, and also dragging the album art to the edited version.
    It would be nice if I could just paste the edited song in place of the original in the iTunes library or, even better, drag and drop the whole row of info from the original into the cells for the edited version, much in the way that rows of data tables can be copied and pasted.
    Is this possible?

    Whoa — I discovered the solution to my problem in, of all places, the iTunes File Menu under Get Info > Options. There (unmentioned in Apple's Help topics) is a place where you can set the start and stop times of songs to skip over any moments of silence — and don't have to edit the songs at all!
    This isn't as elegant as cross-fading, but it's good enough for 90 percent of my music. For those occasional songs that do need some refining, I can make do with the more tedious editing process that I described in this forum.
    Too bad I didn't find this solution before processing more than a hundred songs the hard way! But thank goodness I won't have to do that anymore.

  • Editing Track information

    Have a problem editing track information, have seen previous message posts, BUT ... All security/ownerships look ok, full control owned by ADMIN. Have imported 200 CD's sofar all ok - just done 3 today and get 1st track editable all others greyed on CD1 & 2, CD 3 all greyed. All CD's from same artist, part of triple.
    Only known difference is Itunes version - original cd's imported 12 months ago.
    Have further 3 with same issue, again just imported.
    Any ideas ?
    Mac

    It appears that using the default AAC format is causing the problem, I have imported the CD's using MP3 format, including 'replacing' the originals and all imports successful.

  • I can no longer edit my track/artist/album info.

    Normally I would right click ---> Get Info and edit my track or go to File ---> Get Info and do the same.
    I am able to get to the point of changing the information, but after I make the changes, I click OK, but they are not reflected in iTunes.
    Is there a setting with 7.0 that I need to enable to allow editing? Thanks!

    Your iTunes may be corrupted. Try re-installing iTunes 7 and see if that fixes your problem. I have used the function as recent as an hour ago and have not had a problem with editing. I did not have to enable any settings to be able to do so either. I am not sure if there is a setting for that but I assume if there is you would find it under the "Preferences" in one of the tabs.
    Good luck!

  • Editing/adding track info for tv shows and movies in iTunes 12.1 for Mac.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    iTunes 12.1.0.50
    late 2012 iMac running OS X 10.10.2
    I can no longer edit or add the track information for tv shows and movies.  If, for example, there are 26 episodes of a tv show in a season and I want to edit their entries in iTunes to reflect 1 of 26, 2 of 26, 3 of 26, and so on, how do I do that?  With the 12.1 update, they took away the old info box.  Very irritating.

    The use of the right clicking while holding down the Option key for the "old" info box worked through iTunes 12, but when 12.1 came out, that option went away.
    So edit the info with a proper tag editor (before you even add it to iTunes).
    Use -> MetaZ and/or -> Subler to edit movies/TV shows.

  • ITunes won't save changed track information

    I am trying to edit and save track information (album name, # of #, etc...), including adding artwork, but no artwork ever gets added and when I click on the track to read the information, after editing it, it reverts back to the original information, except for the # of # and album artist. Those are the only 2 items that stay changed. I cant seem to change the album name, cant delete the comments and can't add artwork. My iPod Classic shows the original info, not the edited info, including no artwork.
    This has never happened to me before. Any suggestions?
    Message was edited by: lafromla1

    Ok, so I've narrowed it down to the folder containing the files has the read-only box completely shaded in (as opposed to a check mark). I can not, under any circumstances get this box to stay unshaded. I un-shade it, apply, go out, and when I come back, its shaded again. I've scoured the net looking for a fix and no one seems to have one that works. I am not sure how all my files on my computer got to this status as they were never like this before.
    Has any one else had this problem and found a way around it?

  • How to get Track information in Itunes 12 for windows 8.1

    I just installed Itunes on my Asus. I am running Windows 8.1 . Some of my library which was already loaded in my Windows Media Player was brought into Itunes. It did not have track information because when I ripped it, I was working without an internet connection. The only reason I download Itunes was because the Windows Media Player doesn't use Gracenote. But when I went to get track info on the unidentified music, I went to the upper left hand corner, pulled down the menu, clicked on Get Info and having selected multiple tracks clicked "OK to edit multiple tracks" however nothing happened. These came from CD's I purchased. Don't tell me to re-load them. Again, I only came back to Itunes for track labels so if Apple is refusing to provide the information (because they think I will buy the music from their store), I would rather not use it. Please advise.

    iTunes can only fetch the information from Gracenote if it ripped the tracks. The information about the details of the ripped CD isn't encoded with the tracks themselves. You may find MediaMonkey's auto tag from web feature useful if you have filled in the artist and album fields, otherwise see Picard Tagger. iTunes doesn't detect changes made externally however I have a script called UpdateTagInfo which can get it to read the details. Note iTunes works best with MP3 files that have a single ID3v2.3 tag so check the preferences of any software you use to manipulate tags.

  • Track Information (or, how to activate Gracenote)

    Hey all -
    Perhaps more of a rant that a question, but, here's the process:
    1.
    Video projects in which I edit with FCP sometimes need audio CD companions, so I export AIFF files;
    2.
    Import AIFF files into iTunes, use the "command I" to add information about each track, then burn the CD;
    3.
    Eject the final audio CD, put it into any other Mac, which opens iTunes, and get some abstract name and title instead of the text that I added;
    4.
    Thinking that I could cheat iTunes, I master the CD using Toast...but when I open the CD in iTunes, some other weird name for the title pops up.
    5.
    The question:
    WHY oh why is the information that I originally set for each audio track not consistent when I move the CD to another computer?
    6.
    Arrrgggghhh!
    7.
    And what role is Gracenote suppose to take in regards to track information?

    5. WHY oh why is the information that I originally set for each audio track not consistent when I move the CD to another computer?
    Such information is not normally contained on an audio CD. If Toast allows it, try setting it to include CD TEXT in the burn. That's not picked up in all cases and players, but it may work for you, at least in some circumstances.
    And what role is Gracenote suppose to take in regards to track information?
    In a case like this, none that you'd want to occur. But if iTunes is set to attempt to get the track names from the Internet, Gracenote will dutifully attempt to match your CD with one in it's database and may well come back with erroneous information.
    Regards.

  • I need to get individual track information, please?

    I just inherited some wonderful CD compilation discs which were made by a relative. It seems to me that since iTunes is so very good at getting track information at any CD, no matter how obscure, that it should be able to get individual track info as well. The problem is...I can figure out how to do this. Please tell me it's possible to identify the tracks on a single case by case scenario and if so, how does one do it?

    That's just the underlying service. I am not aware of any Win apps, but that does not mean they are not out there, just that I have used exactly none of them, and am therefore not willing to suggest any, lest it come back to bite my hiney
    There is a page at MusicBrainz.org that lists some:
    http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainzTagger
    edit: I would go for the first one on the list as it seems to be the one most likely to get attention.

  • Encoding track information

    Can iTunes be used to encode track information? I have a CD from a local artist and none of the tracks have names - no album, etc... If not, can anyone recommend a solution?
    Thanks

    To clarify:
    Be aware that editing the artist, title, track, etc. info in iTunes saves that information for that CD on your computer - not on the CD. While DATA CDs and MP3 CDs can have that information encoded that on the disc, standard AUDIO CDs cannot. This is not a limitation of iTunes, and there is no 3rd party solution - that's just the way it is with standard audio discs.
    See this article for more detail:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785?viewlocale=en_US
    The only way anyone else is going to see your artist/title/track info on their computer is if they are running software that can access the online database that keeps track of that sort of data (like iTunes) AND if you previously followed the advice in christopher rig's post to upload your data.
    As I understand it, the online database matches the data to the disk by recognizing the exact number of tracks on the disc which must of the exact expected length, so if you do any editing to the CD, the data will need to be uploaded again.

  • How to show individual track information (like in the old iTunes) of a single artist (or that artist's album) without all the noise of every single other artist close in the alphabet?

    The new iTunes has truly added extra visual noise.
    I am trying to view a single Artist and the individual track information of that artist.  This used to be how itunes was, you could click on a single artist and then the tracks would all have their various categories.
    I can still see this but only in the "songs" category and in that I have to see every single song or artist alphabetically.
    How do I simply see the artist, and that artist's tracks, as well as the different info about that track I want to see, such as "name, track #, time, year, genre, bit rate, kind, etc."
    Please don't counsel me on what information I need to see, or suggest that I stop caring about this, or ask me why I want to see this various info.
    It was simple and accessible in the older version and I would probably stop complaining to all of my friends about the latest version of itunes if I can see this old format.
    Or... is there a way to re-download the old version?  It's okay that you've made mistakes, every company makes mistakes, if I can revert to the old version that would be great.
    Thank you.

    Select the Songs tab, then under iTunes Menu select View then click Show Column Browser. You will see the familiar GENRES ARTISTS ALBUMS header, click on one artist and you will have only the artist's albums and songs showing in the window below with all the specific info you selected under View options. If this is not what you wanted, simply reply with a nice "no thanks".
    Search this forum for instructions to reinstall iTunes 10.7, there are quite a few posts explaining the process.

  • In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    Thank you for your attempt to help me. I appreciate that.
    I think I figured out how to fix it-
    I found that if I only delete a small amount at the beginning and at the end of the section that I want to remove - and then highlight that section - Then (and only then) does the "Delete and Move" function work to remove the unwanted section and automatically close the gap between the surrounding sections. I was trying to select a whole section and could only delete it - and then manually move it.
    Problem solved.
