Editing Music Information won't remove

Hello! Okay, I love Itunes, it works great. Im alittle slow at things and recently just discovered you can add/del albums and add lyrics, totally awesome. But there are quite a few songs I have that when I try to change the lyrics or add lyrics or remove messages pertaining to where the song was downloaded from (for example "ellinadiko" is a forum where I get Greek songs or radyoprenses forum for turkish songs), and when I download to my IPOD, the small message still shows up and removes the lyrics I put in there. I've removed and saved it, and went back in countless time to find the message does not delete permanently. There is even one song, where the lyrics are there, but on my IPOD it shows the forum name and no lyrics but for most the the message is there on my IPOD touch and ITunes. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there perhaps some kind of coding on the song that prevents me from removing that from the lyrics box? Help! Thank you again!

Hi guys, thanks for your responses. They are not podcasts, just mp3's but a lightbulb went off, my songs are all read only for some reason how my new pc set them up, I must have selected that without realizing. I'll try to uncheck that box and see what happens. Thanks again!

  • Editing music information on ipod through itunes

    I recently upgraded my ipod to a new iOS. But now when I try to change any information relating to songs already on the ipod via itunes the information chnaged does not show up as changed on the ipod itself. It will show the little spinning circle as if something is computing, but the information will not change on the actualy ipod screen. Any ideas?

    Another option would be to add the word Explicit in the Comment field on the tracks, but that would require manually going through and marking them. A Smart Playlist could then be used to rule out items with Explicit in the Comment field. Could be tedious, depending on the amount of music to go through, but either route the user will have to ID and sort the explicit from the not explicit.
    Is there anything on Doug's Scripts that can look at the metadata for an explicit tag??
    Just poked around his list of scripts for a little... it looks like they only aid in editing (batch update or otherwise) the user serviceable fields.
    However, this link may shed a little light on things:

    My brain is still trying to decode (for lack of a better term) the info here... however, the "rtng" bit looks to be the "Explicit" tag in question. The OP would need to be familiar with hexadecimal notation in order to make any changes to the metadata.
    The short of it... it's not an easy task.

  • Nokia Music Manager won't let me edit track info.....

    Hi,
    I'm running the newest version of NMM with my n95.
    If I scan and convert mp3 files from my PC into my music collection, for some reason it wipes all the ID3 tags bar the track title from the files.
    When I try to edit the information in my music collection by right clicking and choosing "edit", it allows me to put the information in but then doesn't actually save it.
    i.e. if I right click and choose edit again, the information that I just typed in isn't there.
    Why won't it save this information?

    Hi atmosphere,
    Could you please check the file size, format of the file etc., is it happening with m4a, aac, wma all the files. Also give your PC details, Service Pack, Operating system etc. too ????

  • Zen touch problem, won't download CD information from music information provi

    I've had my zen touch for almost 2 years and have had no problem until the last couple of months. I hope that someone might know a way to solve this problem. When I put a CD in and go to the get info button on my organizer an error message comes up. The message reads, Failed to connect to the music provider. The problem is due to one of the following reasons. Your computer is not connected to internet. The music information providers server is down. The audio CD is a copy control CD. I've already contacte the music information provider, and it's not thier server. I've even taken CD's that I already have on my MP3 player and deleted them to see if the CD's that I was trying to put on were copy control, and the CD's that I had on already wouldn't even work. I really don't want to type in every song name for my CD's I've got over 300 and I've yet to even put all them on and I'm always buying more. I would appriciate it if anyone can help me.

    Does the ipod show in the source list on the left of the itunes ?
    is the ipod set to automatically update?
    did u import the cd into itunes or just put the cd into the computer? (i know it sounds stupid but i've heard it b4)

  • Tab between fields when editing song information

    iTunes 10.4 removed the ability to tab between fields when editing song information. Is there another shortcut now?

    Yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Actually the Tab sequence was reversed in 10.4. I'm upset that it took me until Septeber 2011 to figure it out. For the longest time, probably every release of iTunes. The Tab sequence went (Source-->Tab-->Search Music box-->Tab-->Tracks List)
    Now it's the reverse and it's so annoying. I have both Mac and Windows and was able to downgrade my Windows iTunes to 10.3.x (though I had to downgrade to a previous iTunes Library.itl file. I cannot downgrade my Mac iTunes b/c it's my main library and I'd lose historic data by restoring and old iTunes Library.itl file
    I've written to Apple about this several times the past few weeks but they've yet to address this. The latest version is 10.5 and it hasn't been restored. I WISH Apple would RESTORE this feature to its ORIGINAL design!!!

  • Help??? Editing file information

    I have 30GB of music files pretty much replicated on iPod & itunes. I have a heap of free time at work (offshore) to update and add new data (info) to my tunes. Currently, everything has only a artist & genre applied. I would like to do my master update (add year, album etc) and apply to mirror iTunes at home.
    I have 3rd party (idump) software but lookiing for tips on the best way to upload the edited file information without it adding new tracks to itunes.
    Hope this makes sense? In a nut shell, my question is - will the added data once uploaded to itunes overwrite existing files or will i need to delete files from itunes first and replace with same files/new metadata

    i gathered all my tracks from various sources and purposely removed most CDDB information to ensure basic data was correct. the goal has then been to add back in but unfortunately my itunes is on a PC 1000 miles away.
    For example: Right now my database looks like: Title - Let It Be/ Artist - The Beatles/ Genre - The Beatles
    Now I want to add back in album titles and years etc manually (comments & album artist etc)

  • I can't edit song information the problem is not in all the items

    I can't edit the information of my songs like gnre, artist, etc... when I start to use itunes I had another computer, when I change of computer I decide to copy my library to a external hard disk, I don't know if this is creating the problem, will be great to receive help.

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows Vista/7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

  • Edit song information.

    In ITunes 11 I am unable to edit song information. I need to
    a) add am album name for Italian audio books
    b) Add these and others to the Written word genre/ Chagne other genres.
    I am not interested in playlists at this time, please do not suggest. Just need to know if it is possible to change genre and add album info.
    AND
    In the change from 10 to 11 several Podcasts were moved to music. Is it possible to move them back to Podcasts.

    Highlight one or more tracks. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Edit away. If all the fields are greyed out you may have a permissions problem.
    Podcasts need an album name. If they don't have one that might explain why they've been "kicked out" of the Podcasts section. A previous build made tracks set to podcast with no album name apparently vanish from all areas of the library. Having set an album name you should be able to change the media kind to Podcast and have it stick. Might be best to set the genre to Podcast also.

  • Editing Music

    So I've had and used iTunes for years now and this is the first time this has ever happened to me. For some reason I just can't figure this out. I've imported all of my music intoto my library from my external hard drive and now it will not let me edit any of the song info/artwork. When you pull up "Get Info" on one or multiple songs, the text info should be in black and you should be able to edit this information. Now it shows up grey and it will not let me edit anything. Is there anything I can do to change this?

    I had the same problem some time ago when I transferred some music from my laptop to my desktop. On looking at the file in Finder I found that although I am the only user of both machines I did not have sufficient permission to change the file.
    Go to the file in Finder and Right Click. Get Info and at the bottom of the Get Info pane is a Sharing &amp; Permissions section. Check the entries here and if necessary add yourself with Read &amp; Write permission (by using the little + sign at the bottom).

  • Editting song information

    Hey guys.
    My problem is as written as the title, editting song information. I am unable to edit song information, such as lyrics, artist, etc. of my music files through iTunes. According to the other discussions, unchecking the "read only" option from the files in Window Explorer will enable me to edit the song information, but when I checked, none of my music files were marked "read only" in the first place!
    I'd be glad to hear any possible solutions, so please post below
    Information about my operating system is provided in the post.

    Hello yukawai,

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.
