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.

  • Why can't I read Japanese characters on song titles and artists on my itunes

    For some reason all of my Japanese songs titles and artists are in this random jumbled text, and I was wondering if anyone can help me fix it.

    Sorry. I think you misread me. I know you said the software upgrade messed me up and I agree. It was Kobo Support who said the ebook/library book that caused the problem. When I called Kobo Support to see if they had a fix they told me it was my library's problem. I kept going back to the software upgrade and all the trouble shooting I had done - including the paperclip in the back - but the tech just kept getting me to do the same things over and over. You were spot on that they would try to place the blame on something other than their upgrade but they didn't blame ADE. The tech didn't have any new suggestions . I eventually gave up on her and took the device back to its like new settings, unintalled and reinstalled all the software on both my device and pc. It is working now but unfortunately I lost a couple of books.  Thanks for your input.

  • Hebrew Song titles and Artists appear as blank

    I want my iPod to show my Hebrew song titles and artists, as opposed to the blank (which makes it very hard to pick songs, as you might imagine).
    I understand that it comes out of the box without the capability to do so, but there was a fix for the old ipods on idigital.co.il. This fix however, does not work with 5th generation (I tried and the website says it doesn't). Why doesn't Apple just come out with an official fix? I figure it's something relatively easy to put out, no?
    (have latest itunes and ipod updates)

    sorry to say, but there isn't any third-party app that can fix that. you'll have to rename songs or live with it. you can send a request to apple to fix this in future software updates. here's the link:

    the iPod software list doesn't include the 4th Gen. but just click the most recent iPod 3rd Gen. software.

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

    Why can I not edit song titles and artists as I have 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?

  • ITunes is changing song titles and artists

    iTunes appears to be infrequently and randomly changing the artist and song title tags of music in my library.  I usually just put my music on random shuffle, so it can take me a long time to actually identify errors -- like when I listen to music from a particular artist, or when I happen to glance at iTunes when a song iTunes has mis-re-named is playing.  So far, the errors seem to confined within single albums at a time, but that might just be because of the circumstances of me identifying the errors.
    In the first case I noticed a while back, an album with six songs had their titles all jumbled up.  Each song was titled with an incorrect song title from the same album.  The artist, album, and genre tags all remained correct.  In the most recent case, two songs from a compilation album had their artist and song title tags overwritten with the info from a third track on the same album (so I ended up with three songs with the same title and artist).
    Any idea what might be causing this apart from a crappy coding?

    If iTunes and WMP are referencing the same copy of the MP3, then a tag change in one will be reflected in the other. If that is not what you want, you will need separate copies of the song.
    Being picky, iTunes will write it's changes to the tag immediately (unless the file is locked as read-only) whereas WMP may choose to do it at some later point in time unless you use an option to "Apply media information changes". WMP will generally notice automatically that another appliation has modified the tag and updates it's library accordingly whereas iTunes only spots the change if it accesses the tag for some reason.
    If you want WMP & iTunes to play nicely together you are best off disabling the WMP options for "Rearrange music in the rip folder..." and "Automatic media information update..." (you can still do so manually). I also find it best to change the WMP rip folder to the same as the iTunes Music folder. Letting iTunes "Keep the music folder organised" is a matter of choice (I choose not) but at least WMP can cope if your files get shuffled around by iTunes whereas the reverse is not the case.

  • 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.

  • My itunes starts displaying weird fonts for song titles and app names. Help?

    Need help to change them back to normal, I realize if I double click songs and movies, the titles goes back to normal english text.
    However, I can't "RUN" an itune App to change the text back.
    And I do have more songs that are all messed up text.
    Anyone has any suggestions how I can change everything back to normal?

    Hi, hep 303.
    >My external hard drive used to be listed as my F drive on My Computer, for some reason it is now my G drive. Could this be the problem?
    iTunes uses a specific path reference to find the files that make up the Library so most likely that is precisely the problem. For "some reason" - and it would be helpful to try and figure out what that reason is - the songs are on the G: drive but iTunes is looking on the F: drive.
    For the time being, have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base. It talks about changing the drive letter of your iPod but you can use the instructions to change your external drive's letter as well - from G: to F:.

  • HT1347 When I Convert my MP3 to iTunes Library, Import why are the song title, artwork, artist name are gone?

    thank You Steven G.

    I don't understand what you are actually doing. You can import an MP3 file into your iTunes Library without conversion.
    Either drag the MP3 into iTunes from it's location on your computer or use Add File To Library. Either way, the file should then list in your library, complete with the tag information.

  • 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.

  • How do I burn the disc title, and song titles onto my cd? On previous itunes, there was a "burn options" menu where you could choose to include the song info.

    When I burn a cd in itunes, how do I get the song titles to be burned onto my cd. My car cd player used to display them. Previos versions of itunes had a "burning options" tab.

    Select the playlist.
    File > Burn playlist to disc.
    Select Audio disc and tick Include CD-TEXT.

  • Is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

    In iTunes, is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

    Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
    Finale 2007: $500
    Sibelius 4: $500
    Jam Packs: $400
    Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
    PowerBook: $1700
    Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
    Logic Pro 7: Oy!
    As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
    Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

  • How to include artworks and artist name onto download playlists to a usb key

    Hi!
    I used the "COPY/PASTE" function of WINDOWS to copy ITUNES PLAYLISTs onto a USB key to be used in my car.  All the songs play well and the display shows the titles.  However, the display does not show the ARTWORKS and artist name.
    Is there a way to display this information with the new version of ITUNES.  With my older version,  I used to see all this info.
    Thank-You,
                     Michel

    Are these WAV files?
    WAV does not use ID3 tags to store info.

  • HT1391 How can I copy new songs from other sites back to my windows folders?

    I just bought an ipod and downloaded itunes on it and my lap-top, (where I use windows media player.) Today I bought some songs from another website on my computer, but I couldn't find them in the "my music" folders, I signed on to itunes and found them there. I checked, and my preferences for that site hadn't been changed; how can I copy those songs back into windows? Itunes copied my entire library from my computer...

    I'm replying to myself:
    I figured this out; just go to the itunes folder, open it, and then move the song, or album, into that artist's folder in "my music." I thought about doing this, then I read the cautions about renaming, or moving, tracks and hesitated. It worked just fine.
