How do I edit Sort Programme in iTunes 12?

I used the Sort Programme field in iTunes 11 as a user defined field. The field still exists in iTunes 12 but I can't edit it via Get Info.
I can edit it track by track in List view but I can't find a way to edit multiple tracks together.
Can anyone assist?
Failing that can anyone recommend a user defined field I could use instead?
Thanks

Answer found on another thread - kudos to tt2:
You can also hold down shift as you right-click > Get Info to get the old dialog box.

If I knew how to edit that field I would have stated so - it is possible that the programers didn't allow editing for a particular reason - blame them - not the people trying to help you find a way around the your particular issue.
I know that you cannot edit the field that you want to edit - I only offered a viable suggestion as to how to get around the problem. I have the same beef - but I found a suitable way around the problem. Is no longer an issue for me.

How can you edit a song in iTunes so that you can separate the part I want?

Some songs have LONG intros I'd like to edit out. For example, Elton John's Funeral for a friend/Love Lies Bleeding is only available as one track.
How can I edit out the FFAF part? (at least for the version I sync to my ipod.

Hey there,
One option is to change the songs starting time in iTunes. To change when a song starts and ends locate and highlight the song in iTunes. From there, right->click the song and choose "Get Info" from the Menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab and in the middle of the window there are options to adjust the starting and ending times for that song or songs. When you are satisfied, go ahead and hit OK to apply the changes.
From there, sync the updates to your iPod.
Hope this helped.

How can I edit songs in my iTunes Library?

I have duplicate songs in my iTunes Library, but when I try to edit the artist it's "gray-toned" or doesn't allow me to. I ahve some artists that may have misspelled names or missing a period or apostrophe, or something small. But for some reason...I can't.
Any suggestions?

Give yourself FULL vista permissions on the entire iTunes music folder, and all its subfolders.

How do I edit a song in itunes to use in a presentation?

Hi I need to shorten a song from 5 minutes to 2 minutes for a presentation. I edit it in Get Info in iTunes and it works - but as soon as I try to insert the song into the PowerPoint 2010 file it reverts back to the full length. Any ideas please?

You don't really "edit" in iTunes. You can just tell iTunes where to start/stop a track when played in iTunes. To actually edit the track you should export a copy of the file then use a program like Audacity (a free multitrack audio editor) to trim the file as desired.

How do you edit song information on itunes lists?

I cannot change the genre, or any other information that appears on my itunes list. I "Get Info" from the "Edit button, but it won't let me make changes. I did this last summer so I know it can be done. I have a new computer with VISTA, could this make a difference?

Sometimes Windows will mark files read-only, such as when they've been moved around a network or taken off a disk. Read-only files can't be edited in iTunes. To see if your file is read-only, select it in iTunes and press Ctrl-R. Right-click the file, and choose Properties. Remove any checkmark next to read-only. This technique works on a whole group of files too, so you could quickly remove the checkmark from all your songs if you need to.

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999). So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them? This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
Then exit iTunes and open it up again. Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match). If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

How can I Edit My Podcast? And why doesn't my new uploads show in iTunes?

My Rss feed is through soundcloud and I uploaded new files and they haven't appeared on my link in iTunes. Also, how can I edit my podcast page?

In fact your files do force a download - paste the URL into Safari's address bar and hit return - they will download rather than play inside the browser as they should. However they do play in the Store, so perhaps they've now instituted a workaround for that.
Your feed is at http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:127918759/sounds.rss
There are four episodes, the latest being 25 February; all four appear in the Store and when subscribing.
If you want to amend the contents of the 'Description' column and the text you see when you click the 'i' next to it you need to amend the 'itunes:subtitle' and 'itunes:summary' tags respectively. The overall 'Description' which appears in the Store page above the episodes is carried in the 'itunes:summary' tag in the top section of the feed. If you want to amend these you will need to do so wherever you constructed the feed, presumably in Soundcloud. You cannot do so in iTunes itself, it simply reads what's in the feed.

How do I edit the songs on my ipod through itunes w/o having to update all

I just recently got an ipod and I'm loving it. I am a heavy music downloader and am also very particular about how my songs are organized (no duplicate artist names, songs, etc.)sometimes a song slips my eye, so how can i edit my songs and artists on my itunes and match it back to my ipod without having to delete them all and update the entire library again?
PC Windows XP

Thanks a lot for the help and the quick responses (this discussion site is great)...so one more (Very elementary) question...you both say to sync the ipod "again", how do I do that? I know you sync the ipod when you simply connect it to the computer but after I make song edits, do I manually disconnect then reconnect to automatically update the ipod or is there a drop down button on the top of the itunes page that I can click?
So the run down:
1) Connect the ipod (sync)
2) Ipod settings on: (manually manage music) or (automatically update)
3) Edit the songs desired in: (my library) or (in ipod)? - which one should I do so that I don't have to do it twice?
4) Then resync the ipod to match the library (how do i "sync again")?
Thanks in advance for the help...
Do I have it right?

How do i edit a ringtone in my itunes library?

I created a ringtone using the app ringtone editor pro and emailed it myself to upload to my library and transfer it to my iphone 5. When I tried to transfer it to my iphone, itunes told me it could not be copied because its duration is too long. However, I have another ringtone on my phone from my library that is the same length and it transfers just fine. How do I edit the length of this new ringtone I made when the options are shaded grey in "get info"?

Add an attachement and point it to the location of the physical file on the computer as you would with any other file you want to attach to an email.

How do you change the album sort order in itunes

It seems that Itunes sorts albums by Artist then Album... How can you change sort order to Album name only.

I've been playing with this and discovered it has to do with your personal ratings (ie stars) for albums and songs - seems iTunes now selects the highest rated album to use for the Artist icon. If you have no ratings it seems (but not always) to select the most recent album/song to use fo rthe display.
I've been able to get iTunes to use specific album artowk by rating both the album and all individual tracks as 5 star. You may need to restart iTunes for the changes to take effect.
But I'd be much happier just telling iTunes which image to use - like we used to be able to do. Yet another step backwards for iTunes 11 (one of many).

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.

Hi,
Thanks.
I have tried signing out and in, still does not work.
Still just get the previously mentioned "messages".
I wanted to restore, but then you have to turn off "find my ipad/iphone" but this is not allowed, as I cannot connect to the itunes/icloud or app store. The units work with current apps. EG; email etc, and with apps that do not require current updates.
Thanks
