How do I create albums in iTunes, change song names/artist names, etc!!??

Ack! Please help me! I am a total dummy and I have no clue how to use my iPod video 30GB. First, I connected iTunes and all my old songs (previously dl from kazaa and limewire) were transferred over, only since the sharers spelled the artist names differently, I have Led Zeppelin (and every other artist) spelled a million different ways so all of the songs are listed in my library separately.
So, um, I need to know how I can at least manage my albums or whatever so that I can put all songs by one artist in one place and just name it something different, and also, if I do this in iTunes and then hook up my iPod will it automatically update to reflect these new categorizations? Also...if none of that is possible, how do I delete all of the songs from my iPod and iTunes so that I can try to arrange them differently in my music folder so that when they're imported into iTunes they can all be placed together more correctly?
Could it have something to do with the fact that when I installed iTunes I selected the option to "Do it myself" rather than "iTunes do it for you" option when selecting the songs from my music folder? ANY help would be so so so greatly appreciated!!!!!

In iTunes, right click on the song and go click on the selection 'get song info' (Or somthing like that, I`m not 100% sure, but i think it it similiar) and you can change what you want in there.

  • ITunes changes song's artist or Name to Xing, Has also deleted some totaly.

    I've uploaded a few CDs and Itunes has canged them to an abreviated Artist/song name and added Xing. The songs have no playtime (0:00) and they wont play (Example- System of a Down changed to SysXing)
    iTunes has also totaly deleted all of my Queens of the Stoneage CDs. This hasn't happened to any purchased music tho.

    That sounds odd.
    Do those CDs have any security warnings on the back?
    I almost bought a Santana CD today but it said it wasn't really a CD and might not play on some players.

  • Importing Text file in to iTunes with song and artist names

    A friend made a compilation CD for me. He exported the artist and song names in to a text file from iTunes. I am having trouble importing the information in to my itunes. The people at the apple store said that it was not possible and that I would have to import his whole iTunes library.
    Thanks.

  • I just download an album into iTunes, all songs play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that only plays 10 seconds and then skips to the next song.  How do I download onto my Mac again?

    I just downloaded an album into iTunes, all songs on album play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that stops 10 seconds into it and then moves to my next song.  Can I download this song again?  How? 

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • How can I delete albums from itunes match

    Can you tell me or do you know how I can delete albums from iTunes match please

    I've got a similar problem.
    I know the way how to delete but it didn't work.
    When I delete a song with setting the "delete this song from iCloud" option, it seems to be deleted but after syncing it still exist!
    For example:
    Before deleting I've got 761 songs in Match
    I delete 10 songs with "Also delete this song from iCloud", empty the trash can and start match sync
    After 2 Minutes iTunes Match told me, there are 761 songs available - nothing will be deleted at iTunes Match

  • How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod

    Please help!!!!
    How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod classic 160GB?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I assume you've already consisdered manually managing your iPod's contents and rejected that idea.
    I wouldn't recommend it as a solution, but if you delete the files for the albums leaving the entries in the iTunes library you can carry on syncing normally. iTunes will complain that it can't sync the missing files but it won't remove the copies from your iPod. Once you're happy with how things work you can can choose to suppress the error message.
    While handy as a temporary workaround if space is an issue then it's probably time to look at moving your whole library to a bigger drive.

  • How can I copy albums from itunes to an SD card without splitting the tracks?

    I've tried putting albums onto an SD card from itunes on my Macbook Pro by dragging & dropping, but all the tracks have been split up. When I access the SD card the tracks are mixed up and not grouped together in albums.
    I've also tried to find my itunes files but unable to locate them using finder.
    Any help would be welcome.

    When you have albums in iTunes the songs are organized because iTunes is a database.  When you copy the albums/tracks to an SD card (or any other location) they are just files, there is no database keeping them in order.  So the order you see on the SD card is whatever sorting order you have the Finder set for (or other program if you are using it).
    The easiest way to ensure track files are in the desired order on a disk is to preface the track name with a sequence number ... so, for example, you rename Black Magic Woman as 01-Black Magic Woman, etc.
    The location of your iTunes Library is normally users/yourusername/Music/iTunes ... and your actual media files (albums & songs) are in a subfolder named iTunes Music
