Get Album and Song Info AFTER Import?

I imported a bunch of CDs at home, where I have no internet connection.
I brought my laptop in to work today and I am hoping iTunes will use the internet connection here to find info about the songs, albums etc.
How do I make this happen?
Thanks!

hy iosion,
simply use "gimme some tune".it gets all the information you need.even lyrics.
and when it comes to rippeng cd`s,symply forget the itunes decoder.it is a schame how poor the quality of itunes is when it comes to ripping and conversion into mp3.
do yourself a favour and yous itunes-lame.
it is very simple,integrates into itunes and the quality is extreme good because it uses the lame-mp3 decoder.

The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.

Duplicate music albums and song listing after updating to iOS 5

Anyone else seeing duplicate music albums in carousel mode? After updating to iOS 5 i notice a few albums have duplicate albums or song listing.
I have 1 album thats duplicated 8 times in carousel mode and twice in album listing, none are excalty the same. Example 8 albums, each either holds all the songs or part of the album. Duplicate albums would 3-4 of the same songs, although there is only one file when viewing thru itunes.
Any answers would help, thanks

Thanks but i just tired that ad it didnt work either. All my albums are in order with tracks, artist, disc and etc. Never had a problem with this when i was on iOS 4.
Additional Note: Videos no longer continue where i left off even though the option to do so has been selected.
Anyone experiencing lag on their Touch Gen4? Like shutter sound when you put the screen to sleep takes a second after the button is pressed which use to be instant.
Apple...got any take on these matters?

Cannot edit song info after import

I just upgraded to Leopard and thats when this started happening.
When I download songs, I import them, but once they are imported, I cannot change the name, artist, album, lyrics--any information.
The fields in the "Get Info" menu even appear gray--I can't change them at all.
I can still edit all the songs I downloaded before Leopard, just the post-Leopard songs are proving problematic.
Thanks.

hello
i have exactly the same problem!
please help…

Get-Recipient or Get-Mailbox and "white spaces" after import user to TXT files.

Hi Guys,
In this week I had small task to move mailboxes from old SBS to new Exchange user. I have done this task with small problems. I decided of course to use Powershell to make my life simple.
Step 1.
Get-Recipient | Select-Object name, Database | where database -Match "Mailbox Database" | FT - Property name | Out-File -FilePath c:\ex_users.txt
or
Get-Mailbox | select name, servername | where ServerName -match Server1 | select Name | Out-File -FilePath c:\ex_users.txt -Encoding UTF8
Unfortunately I had to spent some time to clean output files. After export files I noticed that something is wrong with text format.
How can I avoid "white spaces" ?

We always want to do our filtering as close to the left of a command as possible. Keeping this in mind, the first thing I looked for was to see if Get-Recipient had a filter parameter and it does.
Get-Recipient -Filter {Database -eq 'CN=Mailbox Database,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomin,DC=com'} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name | Out-File -FilePath 'C:\outfile-filter.txt'
This seemed somewhat cumbersome because it required a lengthy DistinguishedName (DN). By the way, to get the DN of a database, use a modified version of this code.
Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity databasename | Select-Object DistinguishedName
I decided we would try filtering with the Where-Object cmdlet much like you did in your example. Noticed that I bumped it to the left so our filter ran prior to our select - something you should always do.
Get-Recipient | Where-Object {$_.Database -match 'Mailbox Database'} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name | Out-File -FilePath 'C:\outfile-where.txt'
Whichever way you do this, either the first or third code sample should help you write your data to a text file without the white space issue. I haven't looked at your second example but I suspect you could use some of this post to figure that one out yourself.
Let us know and good luck.

HT4915 When i did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs. I have gone into my library and deleted the duplicates, but they still show up on my iphone as duplicates. What can i do to get rid of them?

When I did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs in my library. I have gone back into my library from my computer, and deleted the duplicates. When I did so, itunes did not ask me if I wanted to delete them from the cloud. They are still showing up on my iphone as duplicates in the cloud. What can I do to get them from showing up in my iphone?

They are not on the iphone in the first place. It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone. If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

Can't edit folder info after importing & editing using iTunes... Help.

I've notice that when editing CD info after importing into iTunes that sometimes folder names in my music library, under itunes media/music, does not match the info that I've just edited in iTunes. When attempting to edit the folder's name I have to add the folder into iTunes again, to locate music files after edit change (?), only to have the edited folder name switch back to the previous name. Is there something that needs to be disabled. I've looked all over but can't seem to find help for this particular situation.

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
iTunes can't or won't use certain characters in file & folder names and uses a maximum of 40 characters for the file or folder name, inclusive of any extention such as ".mp3" (=4 chars). If you manually rename anything iTunes will lose track of it. The best advice is simply to leave iTunes to it. Once you've thrown the data into it, iTunes will get it back for you when you ask, so why does it matter how iTunes chooses to organize it? Saldy, I can't follow my own advice and choose to keep my library organized manually. These days I use some custom scripts to move things around and update iTunes in one process, but in the past I would tidy up my tags, amend the file & folder names, then remove the album from iTunes & reimport.

I reinstalled Itunes on my computer and it did not put all of my albums and songs on my library

I reinstalled I Tunes and it only put 3 albums of my many albums and songs in my library, can someone help please?

Your media should normally be in <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media\<Etc.> not <User's Music>\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries.
Was your library working properly on this computer before you reinstalled iTunes, or is there something you've left out of the picture?

No.

I need to know how many downloads individual albums and songs had off of iTunes for a project, how do I find these numbers?

Ed...maybe a little less time gaming and a bit more time in English class? They got this thing called punctuation and sentences now. Last things first; there is no amount of money that can change your GPU so you can scratch that expense off the list. So you need a battery and a fan? Where do you live? USA? We can help you find a battery but where did you plan to have the new fan put in?

Podcasts appear in artists, albums and song menus

Hello,
I am using iTunes 7.1.0.59 on WinXP Pro. I purchased a 30GB video iPod (2nd generation of this model) a few days ago. The problem is that all the podcasts I have synced to my iPod appear in music menus such as artists, albums and songs. For example the songs list includes podcasts as well as all the songs. This is very annoying to have different podcasts appears in each of these menus. Surely this is not be design.
I have done Google searches and no one else seems to have this problem. I think it might be an iTunes 7 issue as I never recall seeing this problem with iTunes 6 on my partner's 1st generation 30GB video iPod.
I have not been able to find anything in the menu or online Apple .PDFs which explain this behaviour.
Can anyone help me to fix this problem?
Thanks to all.

Found a fix for this. Another forum user found it.
Click on your iPod on the left column in iTunes. Click the podcast tab (at the top of the main window) and change the sync option to "all podcasts". Re-sync your iPod and your podcasts should show up in the right place.
Hope this helps. So unintuitive it makes me mad, but hey.

Is the Purchased Album and Song Re-downloadable Without Further Charges?

Hi,
Is the purchased album and song re-downloadable without further charges? I got an album via gift. Whenever I see the album in the iTunes Store, it still appears as 'Buy' instead of 'Purchased'. And if I delete the album, I will have to pay again to download it from the iTunes Store.
Is this supposed to be like that? Shouldn't the album become permanently free-of-charge since I had already paid for it?
Thank you.

How to sync the album and track info that I entered into a CD using iTunes with the actual disc?

Hello,
I recently recorded some cover songs, and I imported them into iTunes. So, after entering the track info (track names and album art) into each track using "Get Info", I burned them to a CD. I was completely shocked that the track info and album artwork did not get inputted onto the CD. So, I entered the track info, but could not add the album artwork.
How to add the album artwork is not as important a question. But it's one of my 2.75 questions.
My other issue is that the info that I put on the CD using iTunes is only visible within iTunes. Therefore, I cannot get the track names elsewhere.
My 2.5 questions are:
1) How do I get the track and album info to display in Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player (and the touchscreen CD Player in the car)?
2) How do I add digital album artwork to the CD (so that it shows on the touchscreen CD Player in the car - if iPods have the artwork and it shows on the car's screen, a CD should be able to show the artwork on the car's screen, when talking about limitations of the car)
2.5) How do I make that artwork display across everywhere I plug that disc into?
2.75) How do I ensure that when others import my CD, my artwork, track names, and album name also import from the CD?
I have already burnt the CD, so I would prefer a way to tweak the properties of the already burnt CD rather than burning a whole new disc.
Thank you!
-Royce

1) Metadata visibility in Windows Explorer and/or Windows Media Player depends on OS version and file type. The mp3 format has the widest support. As for the touchscreen CD Player in your car who can say? If it can play data discs the results will be better than with audio CD. If it can display CD text then this option should be selected when creating an audio CD.
2) Artwork cannot be attached to the tracks on an audio CD. If your car system supports it all then it will be with data discs. Check the specifications of the system for the media types it can support on a data disc.
2.5) Simply ensure the artwork is embedded in the tag.
I have two scripts that can help with this, CreateFolderArt and EmbedFolderArt.
The scripts have a slightly different purpose.
CreateFolderArt ensures that every album folder ends up with a Folder.jpg image which is the art that iTunes already knows about. Side effects are that if artwork has been updated in iTunes the folder art should be updated also, and if any track from the album doesn't have embedded artwork it gets embedded.
EmbedFolderArt was actually written for someone who already had various artwork images stored in the folders and wanted them added to their tracks, but not if iTunes had already downloaded a better quality image.
2.75) Again, use a data disc format. Note that you should not be giving away copies of copyrighted material.
Audio CDs are finalized, you cannot change any properties of them unless they are on rewritable media in which case you can erase the whole disc and start over.

Itunes erased all the album and artist info when reloading library!!!

My problem is a big one. I've got 8600+ songs (800+ albums) on my hard drive. These are all from physical CDs; I ripped them in wav, then converted them to mp3. When I did this, I kept both the wav AND mp3 files in each respective album folder; about 400G of wav and 80G of mp3.
OK, so a couple weeks ago I got hit with a virus. It messed up my XP OS to the point where I needed to do a reformat and reinstall. All of my music files are on an external hard drive, so no big deal there. I finish the reinstall, re-download itunes, and tell it where to find my music, and to import it into the library.
This is where things go horribly wrong. Itunes imports all the mp3 files in as separate folders/albums, just like before, with all the track and artist info intact. However, for some reason, it took all the wav files and dumped them into one giant Unknown Artist/Unknown Album folder. In doing so, it appears to have stripped the artist AND album info from every single one of the 8600+ tracks! I don't know why it did this, as the wav files in the itunes folder all had the exact same track info as the mp3s.
My question now is: is there any way I can get this info BACK, any program that can look at the individual tracks and figure out what artist and album they go with? Or is there something within itunes that can do it that I haven't found yet? There's no way I can go through and do this track by track; I can't even begin to calculate how long that'd take. My only OTHER option would be to re-rip all the CDs, but again, that took months the first time and I don't want to do it again. However, these files are pretty much useless as they are, in a giant pile that seems only to be organized by the songs' respective track numbers.
I am screaming HELP in capital letters here. Even if I could find a program or solution that would find MOST of the tracks' info, I'd be happy. I'd also be interested in knowing why itunes did this in the first place, for future reference.
And just to head off one solution I expect to be offered, no, I did not have the files backed up anywhere else; reimporting an un-reorganized version of the library isn't an option. I had just finished ripping them and hadn't picked up a second hard drive yet. I know, first thing I should have done.
In any event, any help would be appreciated. Please feel free to email me. Thanks.

I just remembered some older posts talking about some software from musicbrainz.org.
It might be able to make some sense out of all those WAV files, if you decide to spend the time on it. Honestly I'd prefer to rip my CDs than go through something like that, because I'm a control freak and would not trust the program to really find the right info....but that's just me. It might be easy to set up and a snap to use, for all I know.
