How can I edit mp3 info w/o iTunes for free?

I just switched from a PC to a Macbook Pro. On my PC, I simply right-clicked on an mp3 file, clicked properties, & I edited all of the info contained within that mp3 file. Then, once cleaned up, I imported the mp3 files into iTunes. So now I want to edit some mp3 info on a bunch of mp3 files on my Macbook Pro before I import them into iTunes. I tried editing in the "Get Info" window, but it's not editable. So how can I do this? And how do I do this for free? I'd prefer not to have to download a program to do what seems like such a simple task, but If I have to use another program, I want something that is clean, simple, & free. Thanks.

Hi Ingo,
Not sure that you read my entire entry. I want to edit the mp3 files BEFORE importing them into iTunes. I have dozens of albums & songs that are missing tons of info like title, artist, track #, etc, or the mp3 files have info in them that I don't want. I'd prefer to edit them & clean them all up first before importing them all into iTunes because they will just have blank boxes & they will all be grouped together at the bottom of my iTunes window, & I won't know which file is which. Right now they're in seperate folders, so I know which artist & album they are. maybe there's a way to do this in iTunes, but from my experience, I've always had trouble knowing which file is with which artist / album when I import several albums missing key info. That's why I like to add it before importing. I guess I could just import 1 album at a time, but that seems very time consuming. Let me know what you think.

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

    How can I edit or delete music from itunes match?

    Hi,
    If you activate match on your new laptop, you will have access to all music that you matched or uploaded. You have the option to retain the music by downloading to your computer. If you delete music, it will delete from cloud.

  • TA48312 How can I reinstall my Macbook 10.6.8 for free

    How can I reinstall my Macbook 10.6.8 for free. Is there a free download?

    If you are unlucky enough to find a free copy of Snow Leopard on any of the Torrent site, don't bother downloading it. Besides being illegal, those copies are generally crammed with malware.
    So go the easy thing and purchase the Snow Leoard DVD from Apple for $19.95.

  • How can I uncheck "Enable disk use" in iTunes for my iPod? The option is grayed out, and permanently checked.

    When I plug in my iPod Nano (6th generation) and launch iTunes, the device appears in the sidebar as normal, but the option to check or uncheck "Enable Disk use" in the Summary pane for the iPod is grayed out. Currently, the box is checked, so "Enable disk use " is turned on -- but what I want to do is UNcheck it and turn it off.
    But nothing I've tried so far has successfully ungrayed the "Enable disk use" box. Help!
    Question: How can I ungrey the "Enable disk use" option in my iPod's Summary panel in iTunes, allowing me to uncheck it?
    Alternately, is there any other way to turn off "Enable disk use," using some esoteric workaround? Thanks!

    Set it to sync automatically. Disabling that option isn't possible for an iPod set to sync manually, as it shows up as a disk as part of the sync process, and iTunes has no way of knowing when you're done syncing an iPod set to do so manually.

  • How can I make the newest version of iTunes for Windows run faster?

    I know I'm not the only one when I say that iTunes is by far one of the slowest programs on my computer.  I'm running Windows 7 and running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows.  Does anyone have some tips to make it run faster and smoother?  I have Genius and Ping disabled, but I'm not quite sure what else I can do.

    The newest version of iTunes should install if you are runnig 10.7.
    Do you get any error messages?

  • How can i get imovie on my macbook pro for free?

    i have a brand new macbook pro and i don't have ilife or iwork installed, does anyone know how i could get it without purchasing it?
    thanks

    Hello purple23
    When you open the Mac App Store for the first time, it should ask you to except the purchase for the bundled applications. For iwork, you will need to make sure that you are running OS X Mavericks and as long as your Mac was purchased after October 22, you should be able to download those apps for free.

  • How can I edit/change/update/remove album artwork for a song in iCloud?

    Dear Community,
    my problem is the following.
    I'm editing my songs/albums artworks and when I change these artworks, iTunes Match syncs my artworks back to the original ones.
    I've tried a lot of things, read a lot of discussions but I didn't find a solution for this problem.
    For example:
    I've deleted for an album all of my songs artworks, then set the good one. Then I've done an update for iTunes Match in Store menu. My artworks didn't changed on an Apple TV2
    If I just delete the artworks, do an iTunes Match upgrade, the artworks on an iPhone 4S & Apple TV2 remains the same (I've also removed the songs from my iPhone and redownloaded them...)
    I used TuneUp iTunes plugin for song identifying. It did a very good job, changed my artworks, my metadata, everything looked good. After a few minutes iTunes Match synced, the artworks restored to the old ones, but the metadata info didn't changed, it is updated in iCloud too.
    I'm also tried to get artworks from iTunes, it worked very well for some albums, but again: iTunes Match synced...
    I've turned off iTunes Match, done the album editing. Again when I've turned on iTunes Match, the album artworks restored..
    In my opinion if I use a cloud service, anything I do locally in my iTunes library, it should sync up to the cloud. EVERYTHING means music, music metadata, music artwork etc.
    So what is the solution?
    What can be the reason all of this?
    Someone has the same issue?
    Is it a bug?
    One more thing
    In this album all of my songs has the same artwork (David Guetta: One Love)
    Look at the BRAVO hits cover

    Try this, it has worked for me.
    1. Make a new, empty iTune library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key.
    2. Choose create new library; do NOT have iTunes scan for music.
    3. Enable iTunes Match on the empty library.
    4. Find the tracks with the wrong artwork, highlight them, Get Info and paste the correct artwork into the "artwork" field.
    5. When finished update iTunes Match, then re-launch iTunes while holding down the Option key and chose select library to get back to the "master" library.

  • How can I edit a clip on my iTunes?

    I have a voice clip that I have uploaded from my iPhone to my iTunes on my Macbook Air. I need to send it off for an audition, and couldn't edit it precisely from the iPhone. How do I do that on my Macbook Air? Can I use iTunes, or would I have to use another programme? Many thanks! x

    Import the file into iTunes,  in Garage band, open a project, delete the existing track (track drop down) create new basic track, drag the file into te track,  do your edits, save as, and use share to send it back to iTunes

  • How can I find movies with subtitles from iTunes for iPad?

    The problems are two:
    1) Using an iPad, can I find subtitled only movies? If were possible, how?
    2) Ever with an iPad, it's possible setting on/off subtitles in movie? If were possible, how?
    Thanks,
    Cristiano.

    You turn it on by going to settings-video-closed captioning=on.
    If a video has captioning, should have the closed captioning symbol on the video description screen in iTunes store.
    You can get software to add captions to your own videos.
    Handbrake:
    HandBrake can now include subtitle tracks that can be turned on and off, instead of rendering them onto the video track permanently (which also reduces video compression). This means you can include Closed Captioning data from DVDs and TV broadcasts, or find SRT text subtitle files on the 'net and include them. When using the Matroska container, you can also store the graphical subtitle images (VobSubs) from a DVD as a separate track. An added benefit is that multiple subtitle tracks can be included in the same output video.

  • How can I download version 10.7 of itunes for my 10.5.8 OS X Macbook?

    I can't transfer music from my Mac OS X Macbook (which has version 10.5.8) to my new iPod touch 5th gen because it requires iTunes 10.7.  But because my computer is 10.5.8 (and can't get any updates for later versions), I don't think I can even download Itunes 10.7.  Also for some stupid reason, sending songs by email to my Ipod doesn't work either.  Is there anything I can do other than buying Snow Leopard, for $20 on the app store (which I don't have) just to get an appropriate version of Itunes, which is absolutely ridiculous? Remember, I just want to transfer my music from my computer to my Ipod it's something should be simple!

    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later8 (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
