How do I give individual tracks a song name/artist name on a compilation CD?

I have been uploading compilation CDs to my iTunes library onto my MacBook Pro and while I can give the CD an album name, genre, etc., through 'CD Info' while the CD is uploading, I am unable to give each track a song name and artist. When I tried doing this via 'CD info' every track was given the same song name and artist! It is a CD of various artists/tracks. Any advice welcome.

Hello TooSweet1,
It sounds like you have imported an audio disk to your iTunes library that is a compilation of various artists but the artist and other info are the same for all tracks and you would like to customize the information on a track by track basis. You can do this with the info window.
Information about each item in your library is stored in the item’s Info window. To open the Info window, select the item and then choose File > Get Info.

assuming the mixing console supports multi channel-OUT (some are just two-channel/sterreo OUT), here's a tute:

How do I save individual tracks in Audition 1.5

OK ... here's the problem. I import a very long clip -- the whole thing is one track. I want to break it down into separate tracks. I know that in the Multitrack window I can split the clip and drag the new section(s) down onto another track. But in the Edit View, it still shows as just a single clip. The manual tells me that I have to "mix down" in order to bring the tracks in the CD Project. However, when I do that, all the tracks mix down to one single track again.
So the question is, once I've created the separate tracks in the Multitrack pane, how do I bring them into the CD project pane while still keeping them as separate tracks?
-- Ben Martin

AFAIK there's only one way to do this - and that's to highlight the section that you want from your track (make sure it's the active track, in other words, the track has to be highlighted too), right-click and select 'mix down to file'. What will happen then is that just the selection you made will be mixed down to EV, and that's what you save. This will initially show up as a separate file in the files list called 'mixdown*' and the * will disappear when you save and rename it. And it's this file that you use in the CD project file. Just do this for each separate track, and you're done.

How do I keep MY folder and song names when converting?

I am trying to convert a whole library full of my song files and iT is renaming folders and files.
I also posted this problem in "Using iTunes." Then though maybe I was using the wrong forum. So I am trying here. Sorry if this is bad, let me know.
I'm lost and confused. During converting files (from MP3 to AAC) iT breaks up my folder full of song files and redistributes the files under newly created folders. For example: I have a folder I titled, "Latin-Mixed." In it are about ten songs by different groups. After iT made the conversions I found ten folders, each was named by the name of the group or artist, and in each was a song file, sometimes with a new title different from mine - like, mine was "01-Compay Segundo-Chan Chan." iTunes changed it to "Track 1." Sometimes the reverse occurs. All I had was a track number, but iT found the full song title and put it in (that part is a plus).
Right now, I am manually dragging each song back out of those individual folders and recreating my one folder (Latin-Mixed) and putting them in it, trashing all the folders iT made. What a pain.
Can anyone help me with this?

First of all, thanks a lot for your help. I AM learning. But you are correct in your closing assumption, not quite clearer than mud. Are you willing to go a little further with this?
I'll take that as a yes. Here goes.
You wrote: "No you don't have to drag a folder to the iTunes window. What I an referring to is that you have selected the top tab of the Source column, named "Original" and that is how you are viewing the tunes in the main window."
What do you mean by Original?
I keep all my music on an external drive. But this is not my Music Folder. Since iT and I have been struggling, I have assigned my Music Folder on an internal drive but use it as a temporary holding area. As conversions are complete (now, compilations, thank you) I drag them off to my permanent external drive. So I thus clear the main iT window of everything by deleting what was there and was converted. I also have multiple Libraries. This one I have called "Conversion_Lib." So, is what you are referring to as Original, my Conversion_Lib?
Assuming the last sentence above is true, then my problem goes back to the first question: if I don't drag a folder of tunes into the main window, how do they get there? And if I select the top tab of the Source column (my Conversion_Lib?) then I have a blank window.
OK. Moving on.
You wrote: What you could do is take your tunes and assign them to various albums named the way that YOU want the music files to stay nested. For example - X-mas 1 mood 1 - X-mas 2 mood 2, Latin mix Salsa, Latin mix Samba. Assign the tunes to those various folders then make sure that you have told iTunes that those songs belong in a compilation.
"Assign them to albums..." "Assign the tunes to those various folders."
You lost me here. Do you mean take a group of tunes on my hard drive (the ones I want to convert) and put them in folders (your "albums?) and name those folders as I want? Like the example you gave above. Which is basically what I have now - but on my hard drive, not in my Music Folder. (Is this where I am losing you?) But, assuming this is the case, what do you mean by "assign the tunes to those various folders?" Isn't that what I just did?
Next you suggest, "Ok you have sorted your tunes and assigned them to an album named XXX. sort your tunes in the iTunes window with "Album", then select all the tunes assigned to album XXX..."
Lost me again. Assign them to what album, where? Do you mean create a folder in iT? I'm really lost here.
If you can get me past these questions, the rest of what you wrote, I think I can understand and actually do.
You're really being helpful and I appreciate it. I've already learned a lot.

How can I see ALL TRACKS by a particular artist?

When I do a search in iTunes for a band that has a large catalogue (e.g. Pearl Jam or U2) I only get about 150 results. Now, for Pearl Jam I know there are more songs. How can I see a bands' ENTIRE catalogue of songs without having to click on each album individually? Also, if they have a song on a compilation, why isn't that listed in the bands' "All Albums" area? Thanks!

Not all songs for a group may be for sale in the iTMS. They may hold out some songs/albums due to legal issues. Some groups have switched labels and not all labels are listing in the iTMS. AeroSmith is another example.

How to show individual track information (like in the old iTunes) of a single artist (or that artist's album) without all the noise of every single other artist close in the alphabet?

The new iTunes has truly added extra visual noise.
I am trying to view a single Artist and the individual track information of that artist. This used to be how itunes was, you could click on a single artist and then the tracks would all have their various categories.
I can still see this but only in the "songs" category and in that I have to see every single song or artist alphabetically.
How do I simply see the artist, and that artist's tracks, as well as the different info about that track I want to see, such as "name, track #, time, year, genre, bit rate, kind, etc."
Please don't counsel me on what information I need to see, or suggest that I stop caring about this, or ask me why I want to see this various info.
It was simple and accessible in the older version and I would probably stop complaining to all of my friends about the latest version of itunes if I can see this old format.
Or... is there a way to re-download the old version? It's okay that you've made mistakes, every company makes mistakes, if I can revert to the old version that would be great.
Thank you.

Select the Songs tab, then under iTunes Menu select View then click Show Column Browser. You will see the familiar GENRES ARTISTS ALBUMS header, click on one artist and you will have only the artist's albums and songs showing in the window below with all the specific info you selected under View options. If this is not what you wanted, simply reply with a nice "no thanks".
Search this forum for instructions to reinstall iTunes 10.7, there are quite a few posts explaining the process.

HT1473 I purchased a cd and downloaded to my itune library, but I can not see it as an ALBUM, only individual track?

I purchased a CD and downloaded all the 16 songs in Itune Library? When I went to my Itune to open the album of 16 songs, instead I saw 16 individual track with no name or title? I don't want to see individual track, I want to see as an album. Can any one help?
Thanks

Not sure what would cause that. Try deleting all the songs and re downloading them.
From iTunes Store go to Purchased in Quick Links on the right.

My songs/albums/artists are sorted under the wrong letter on my ipod - how do I fix this?

After upgrading to iOS5, my music is sorted under the incorrect letter during song/album/artist browsing. I tried deleting all my music from itunes/my ipod and reloading it, but it's still wrong. Any ideas how I can fix this issue?

hey i had the same problem but mine didnt fix after the sync
but if you get this problem again just highlight the track then go to file and select get info after that go to the sorting tab and fill in the info and that should be how they appear for example if the songs name is numb and in the sorting field you put numb aswell thats how it will be shown or if you type in corpses it will show up in the c's

Adding or Deleting individual Tracks/Songs from iPod Nano-How to?

I want to find out how to load individual tracks (instead of entire folders or artists) from the library to my ipod nano. If that is not possible, then can I at least get help deleting individual tracks from my song list on my ipod nano??? When I have the songlist up and right click, nothing but play, rating, or get info information pops up. In the editing window above the delete option is faded out. I want to get all the songs I like to listen to, not all or nothing. Please help....

VyteSnake,
Are you manually manging your music? In other words, do you have the Manually manage music and videos option ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab? I only ask because it sounds like you are trying to manually remove tracks from your iPod.
Another option is to set your iPod up to sync only checked songs and movies by enabling this option from under the Summary tab. Then make sure each track you wish to sync to your iPod has a tick mark next to it in your main iTunes library. If you don't want it synced over, remove the tick mark.

Burning mixed 5.1 songs to DVD-A as individual tracks?

Hi All,
A noob around these parts and to Logic Pro 9 so please be gentle
After a fair bit of looking online I can't find the answer to my particular problem, which is...
I have recorded & mixed a jazz band in 5.1 on Logic Pro 9.
I have bounced the whole session as a 5.1 DVD-A disc with no problems but I want to be able to have each song as an individual track, not one long track with no breaks.
Is this possible to do in Logic 9 Pro or do I need another 3rd party bit of software?
Any help much appreciated,
Jon

Hi, noisyjon.
Can you select each track as a separate region and use save as to write them as in dividual tracks. Another way is to use the locators ans select how much of the full track [the entire dvd] you want to bounce and save that file.
ie. say track 1 is from bar 0 to bar 71. select that in your bounce menu and logic will only bounce that portion of the project. You can also name it whatever you want in the bounce drop box. Repeat for each track.
Hoe this helps,
Regards,
Scorpii.

How do I erase individual songs from my ipod?

How do I erase individual songs from my ipod

How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
If you are updating automatically (syncing) all songs and playlists then delete the files from the iTunes library. In the iTunes Library highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard. If you re updating the iPod from a selected playlist delete the song from the playlist and it will remain in the library. Next time you connect they will deleted automatically from your iPod.
If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the usual song list. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly as above by pressing the delete key on your keyboard.
To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes
