How to edit names of songs and albums without having to do that manually ?

For each song I have to manually enter the name of the album and artist.
That is terrible.

If you have a whole bulk of songs (such as an entire album) that have the same information, you can select all of them with CTRL+A or APPLE+A and then edit the information for all of those at once.
This is useful if all of the songs you're editing have the same artist, album name, or cover art.

  • How do i delete a song from iCloud without having to subscribe to it?

    How do I delete a song from icloud without having to subscribe to it? I've deleted the song from my iphone and my computer, but it is still in icloud, but I can not delete it. It keeps on wanting me to subscribe to icloud. Which it is not fair or right for me to have to pay to delete something. Would anyone please help me? I am using windows 7 home premium 64bit Operating system. The song is stil showing on my iphone, but i need to delete it from icloud for it to not show on my iphone.

    Hi,
    If the song has been purchased from itunes store, you cannot delete the song from the cloud but you can hide it. - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.
    You do not need to subscribe itunes match which is a different product from itunes in the Cloud.

  • ITunes 11 has renamed my songs and albums without my permission!

    In my itunes, years ago as i acrued single songs, i would edit the song information such as album name, so that each of these singles would appear in one album called "SINGLES." I do not want 10,000 albums in my itunes that all contain one song each. Now, in iTunes 11, iTunes has gone and automatically edited the "Get Info" on all my songs and re-sorted all of my singles back into their original albums. I do not want to have to go through all of my singles and edit the "get info" again. How can I get my singles back into a SINGLES album?
    Thanks,
    Lori

    Pehaps a variation of the tool in this thread would allow you to recover the old metadata. What fields have been modified?

  • On my mac I have my downloads from i tunes. I have previously transferred thousands of songs onto an external hard drive. How do I show these songs and albums in my i tunes on my mac without adding them to the computer as there is insufficient space ?

    PLEASE HELP ME. I transferred my music library onto an external hard drive as it contains about 30 000 songs. I got a second hard drive as extra security and loaded the songs onto that as well. Both hard drives now contain my music library however when I click onto my i tunes on my mac I am only seeing the music that I have downloaded from the i tunes store that has been kept in the cloud. How do I get my music from the hard drive to be recognized on my mac? Please, please, please help!!!

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • How to redownload already purchased songs and albums

    my old computer crashed and all my songs where on it and my ipod touch stoped working...how do i redownload already purchased items without paying? i dont want to pay again for music i already had and lost due to a computer crash...please let me know

    [Disussion: Zevoneer's post on replacing music downloaded from iTunes music Store|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8794716] - basically it is up to the individual to ensure their music is backed up against loss. Sometimes Apple will grant a second download but it is purely at their discretion.

  • How can I delete a song and album?

    The title pretty much explains it.

    Where? I did it in my library and all the playlists and I synched my ipod so it would refresh and take off the album and single. There still there. :-/

  • How can I select multiple songs in iTunes without having to hold the Command key while clicking each individual song

    Trying to drag a block of songs from iTunes into TuneUp and I have about 1800 songs to bring in.  TuneUp maxes out at 1000 songs per batch, so I can't use Select All, but I also don't want to Command + Click 800 times to get all of those songs selected. 
    Thanks in advance. 

    Answered my own question.  Select song at the beginning of the list.  Hold down the shift key.  Go to the last song you want in your list.  Click that song.  All songs in between will be highlighted.  Such and idiot.

  • Why is iTunes automatically changing edited song and album information?

    Hi guys, I've seen this question asked several times but I haven't seen an answer or advice that specifically relates to the problems I've been having with my iTunes library of late.
    I've got a pretty big collection of music on iTunes - almost 1000 albums - and I'm pretty anal about the way it's stored and managed and I regularly change the song and album information to suit my own "house style". All my music was stored on a Dell laptop and was fine - I had no problems with changing and editing the information. I recently bought a MacBook Pro and shifted all the music files from the old machine onto the new one (a lengthy and frustrating process) and since then, I've had a lot of hassle in terms of amending and organising my iTunes collection. A lot of the music I've purchased from the iTunes store has reverted back to its original state, no matter how many times I've changed it.
    For example:
    Lana Del Rey's Born to Die (Deluxe Version). I've removed the "Deluxe Version" from the title but I quit iTunes or sync it with my iPod, it automatically adds it back. I've changed the information in the song info, I've even changed it in the sort info just to be sure, but it always changes back.
    The same with the Anthems Electronic 80s compilation. I want to call it Ministry of Sound: Electronic 80s and remove it from Various Artists (by deleting the album artist from the information). But after iTunes is quit or its been synced, the same thing happens. It appears as two albums on my iPod - a handful of tracks appear under the old title while the bulk of them appear under the new one.
    It's happening across loads of albums, all ones I've downloaded (the stuff ripped from CDs seems to be okay). I've done as much as I can in terms of the song info but no matter what I do, it just reverts back when the programme's quit or I sync my iPod. I don't know if it's anything to do with the fact they're in the Cloud or they've been imported from a Dell laptop or there's an underlying problem with iTunes (a couple of posts elsewhere on this forum suggest it might be the case) but it's really frustrating.
    I apologise for the length of my post but I wanted to be as thorough as possible to outline the problem. If anyone's in a position to offer me any advice, I'd be hugely grateful!

    A handful of others have complained about this recently.  Seems to happen to iTunes Store purchases only.  Somehow they are connecting back to the Store and refreshing label information.  There may be a solution but few seem to try experimenting with settings to see if something stops it.
    2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.
    Until then send feedback to Apple:

  • How do I stop Genius from recommending songs and albums that are already in my iTunes music library?

    With greater and greater frequency, Genius is recommending songs and albums that are already in my music library. Up to 80% of the recommendations!. I am hesitant to give these suggestions a thumbs down, as I like the songs (afterall, I own them) and don't want to give the impression that I don't like the artist, genre, etc. as I appreciate how Genius works, when it does work.
    I have updated Genius and updated iTunes Match, to no avail.
    This quirk -- recommending music already in my library -- used to be a rare event. Now, most of the recommendations I get are for music I already own.
    How can I fix this?

    To be a little bit more accurate the said book sits in my Documents on my Macbook,  purchased through iTune for free in iTunes Store>Books. I can find it with Finder on my Macbook. It says it is in my Documents but it does not appear in the Documents folder in my Dock. Great! Even the iTunes Store says it is downloaded already. And why when I search for it with Finder on my Mac and click on the result does a window open up full of comoter language? I need some help.

  • I just installed an update on my iPhone and since then the choice to repeat music, or not, has disappeared and it automatically plays songs and albums on a loop. Anyone know how to make it play an album or song just once?

    Bust3d,
    The gifting options on a mobile device are limited.  However, if you long into your iTunes account on a Mac or PC, you can gift a song you have already purchased.  Click the triangle and choose "Gift This Song."  See pic below.

  • HT3209 i want to get old purchased songs and albums back onto my ipod. havent been connected in very long time. now old purchases have this cloud thing on them and i dont know how to access them. someone please help!

    i want to get old purchased songs and albums back onto my ipod. havent been connected in a couple years. old purchases have a cloud on them and wont let me access them. someone please help!

    I have tried that as well.  The purchased songs are not in my playlists and they are still there.  I manually deleted them on the phone but the sync puts them right back on there.
    I only sync playlists and they aren't on there.
