Editing song titles in a playlist

Is there any way to change a song title in a playlist without changing the title in the Library?

No, iTunes gets the name from the songs tag, so when you change it in a playlist, it changes it on the tag, therefore changing it in the main library too

Yes.

Why can I not edit song titles and artists as I could in the past?

Do you mean by using the 'get info' function and editing the data there? What is happening instead of what used to happen?

Is there a way to edit song titles on an iPad?

I don't use the Music part of "iTunes in the cloud" for one simple reason: Some times the iTunes Store gets the song titles wrong - poor punctuation, misspelled words, that type of thing. If I had the 'automatically download music' turned on, I assume my iPad would receive the songs directly from the iTunes Store, with any such incorrect punctuation. So if I turned that option on, would there be any way to edit the song titles directly from my iPad?
For example: I buy an album from the iTunes Store on my computer. It has song titles that have misspellings. Those misspellings would also end up on my iPad once the songs were pushed to it. So would there be any way to fix them? If so, how?
Would I have to edit the song titles in iTunes and then sync it with the iPad? That would defeat the purpose of music in the cloud, wouldn't it?

Why can't I edit song titles and stuff?

Has anyone had the problem with iTunes where you go to edit the song title/artist/album cover and when the window for it comes up another window comes up that says iTunes has stopped responding? It's been doing this for like the past month can someone please explain on how to fix it?

I have an Ipod Nano 6th Gen. I have been getting the error 13019. It puts the song title into my playlist, but the song isn't there when I disconnect, and find the song. Everything is up to date. I have tried to create a new user, and nothing works.

I have tried putting music onto it, and it puts it on the playlist, but when I disconnect, it isn't there. I have also tried creating a new user, and still get the error. Please Help!!! Thanx!

Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

Having trouble editing song titles, album titles and artists names.

does anyone know how this can be changed WITHOUT uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes? i was able to edit before but i'm not able to now....

i have the same problem but i cannot change the permissions of the folder.
it allows me to unlike the read only box and apply to all sub folders and files and click ok.
But reopen it and check the permissions and its back to read only again.

Select all the songs then Copy > Paste into a spreadsheet or text documnet.

How do I copy playlist song titles and artists names to place in an e-mail

There is an "export song list" option under "file" that I tried to use. It gives you an option of saving the text in "plain text," "unicode," or "XML" formats. I've tried all 3 and when I bring up the text in Word, its not organized in columns, its just one word after the next, with information I don't need like track numbers, date modified, etc. I don't want to have to go in and manually delete all the extraneous information. Is there a way to format the list in columns so that I could delete all but the song title and artist name for a 200 song list?

Never mind, I figured it out. I went to "view options" under "edit." I deselected everything but artist, song, and album. I went to the playlist and opt-Aed the list, copy, and then pasted into the e-mail.

How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
Thank you

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

Cant edit songs on my iPhone because the music is part of a playlist?

I have a lot of music on my iTunes, so I induvidually selected the music I wanted and put it in a playlist in my iTunes. I transfered it to my iPhone and now I cant edit anything from it because its part of a playlist. When i open my iphone in itunes and go to the music, all of the checkmarks are grey and it wont allow me to edit or delete any of the songs or the music info. This is extremelly frusturating because it was working fine two days ago, and I could edit everything even know it was in a playlist. Yesterday my iTunes deleted every song on my iPhone, so when i re-synced it it wouldnt allow me to edit anything. I have been looking for a solution for hours and have found none. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way I can highlight just the songs in my desired playlist, but in my whole music library?

The playlist metadata may not have been transfered correctly and you may have to recreate the lists. Also, music ripped from your CDs may now appear as if from a different account or DRM protected and won't sync. You may have to re-rip them to your new iTunes library.

How do I get the song titles to appear when I burn a playlist from iTunes?

I burned a playlist from iTunes, and the song titles on the burned CD changed to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. How can I get the song titles to appear as they do in iTunes? Is this really too much to ask from the world's leading music player software?

If you are burning an audio CD, you cannot as audio CDs do not have track names. Nothing to do with Apple.

Sync "smart playlist" without song-titles?

Is it possible to synchronize only a smart playlist without all the song-titles what are included?
A example; In i Tunes i have a very large song library on my mac. Then i have synchronized some titles, with "Check Selection" mode. Now i have a "Smart Playlist" on i-tunes, that includes only song-titles, that i haven't "rated" before. Now, is it possible to import/sync only the "Smart-Playlist" without all the song-titles that are included on Itunes?
So i want only have the smart-playlist on my ipod-touch, to hear the unrated songs, that are already synced.
Other example, i have a smart playlist that includes only the song-titles, rated from 1 till 3 stars. Now i want that smart playlist on the iPod, to hear only the songs, rated from 1 till 3 stars, i already synced on the IPod.
Problem is this..: When i sinc a smart-list like that, the memory on my IPod is prompt overloaded...
I hope you understand what i mean, and would be great to have a solution for that...
regards...

2. Deselect the option for "Live updating."
Solved.

Ipod nano cycles through song titles in playlist:

Gateway Windows XP
When I try to play any song in the "purchased" or "newly added" playlists on my wife's nano pod it cycles through all of the song titles. I cannot get it to play any of the songs I select. It just continues to cycle through all of the titles. I know this is a malfunction because my 30gig Ipod does not function like this. I can select and play any song in any playlist. I'm thinking perhaps there is a setting I need to change.
Gateway Windows XP
Gateway Windows XP

It doesn't sound like a settings issue to me.
Try resetting the iPod by toggling Hold on and off, then holding Menu adn Select for 6-10 seconds until Apple logo shows up.
If that doesn't work, make sure it has the most up-to-date software (version 1.1.1 released 3-23).
If the problem continues, try restoring the iPod through the iPod Updater. This will wipe the iPod's memory clean, so you'll have to re-put the songs onto the iPod through iTunes.
I hope this helps!
