How to edit track info in iTunes for Windows

Sorry if this is a repeat but I've searched the discussions and didn't see one that really fit. I purchased a song off of a sound track and then a few days later I purchased the rest of the album. Turns out the single song I purchased was from a "Deluxe Album" and when I purchased the rest it was form the regular album. I was able to edit the name of the album on the Deluxe song so they are now grouped together in my library under one album (before they were in two separate albums) but the tracks are still not in order. The regular album tracks are numbered 2 of 17, 3 of 17,4 of 17 etc. but the deluxe song is numbered 1 of 21. How do I rename the track number, or some other idea, and put song #1 at the top to be played first??

In iTunes hightlight the song and do Get Info (control-I). On the right hand side of the track's Info tab is the track number which you can change (you'll probably need to change both the track number and the 'of' value. You may also want to check the values on that screen are consistent with the rest of songs in the album, and possibly on the Sorting tab.

  • Unable to edit track info in iTunes on a Mac Air

    Hello,
    I recently switched from a windows PC to a Mac Air. All my music was organizaed on an external hard drive. I have now imported the music in to my iTunes on my Mac Air. I am unable to edit individual track info when I use "Get Info". I tried to look up for permissions on the particular folder and found that they are all set as "Read Only".
    Any help in this matter is appreciated.

    Go to your Music (media)  folder. The one that holds the actual files.
    Click it and press Cmd+I or right click and select "Get Info"
    In the Info pane, click the lock to change permissions:
    You'll need to tnter your password to make any chnages.
    Set ALL permissions to Read & Write
    Click the Gear and select "Apply to enclosed items..."
    Then click "OK" when asked if you're sure.
    Let it apply to everything and THEN try editing the track oinfo.

  • Cannot edit track info in itunes

    I just downloaded iTunes v. 10.6.3.25
    I connected my iPhone to my computer and let iTunes see that it's there. If I try to go in under devices to my music library that is on the phone NOT in the library on the computer and try to right click, get info, I cannot edit any of the track information in there.
    Do I have to sync the phone to my iTunes and transfer all of the music to the computer to be able to edit the info? I have an older iPod and I can connect it, go into devices and edit in there with no issues, it just won't let me do it on the phone.
    Please help!!

    Personally, I would edit the information in your iTunes Library and then connect the iPhone and Sync the library with the iPhone.
    Since it's a Sync (synchronization) of iTunes with your iPhone, any new information on the phone (such as play counts) will be synced with iTunes while the updated track information in the library will be synced with the phone.

  • How to edit iphone contacts in itunes? (Windows 7)

    Hello people! i've just got an iphone 4, and its my first iphone, i've synced all my facebook contacts with the iphone, but now i've got loads of contacts which just have an email, and not a phone number. is there a way to edit them on my computer instead of the iphone itself, as it takes time to do every single one by hand, as i've got around 500 entries now! any help would be appreciated thanks!

    When you connect the iPhone to the computer through iTunes, you have the option to sync contants to a supported application. On a Windows 7 machine, that would be Windows contacts or Outlook. Just make sure you have at least one unique contact in which ever application you are going to use to trigger the Merge command. Then open that application on the computer and off you go.
    @ssonnic if you are using Google to sync, you can log into Google on the computer and do your editing there.

  • Can't edit track info on some tracks...

    I've had this issue since iTunes 7.5, now I'm using 7.6.
    Lately I've been having problems when trying to edit track info in iTunes. Some tracks info field is greyed out and I therefore I can't make any changes to these tracks. Often it's tracks from an album where the other tracks are fully editable. When I choose show info in Finder on these specific tracks, only "System" has read and write access to the file. If I try to add myself (admin) Finder crashes and restarts. I've tried to change ID3 tags in iTunes but I'm told that the file is protected. I've also tried to change ID3 tags in MP3 Rage but to no help, it doesn't change anything in iTunes.
    I'm not really sure if this is a problem due to my OS 10.5 rather than iTunes, since I'm having the same issues with other kind of files e.g. pictures imported from my digi cam. When trying to rotate a picture in picture wiever and saving it, I'm told that I don't have the necessary permissions. And then again if I try to give myself read and write access Finder crashes.
    I've tried to repair disk permissions but are told that no repairs are necessary.
    All n all my Mac has been behaving strangely since upgrading to 10.5 (and now 10.5.1). Besides the issues described above, I'm experiencing "strange" things, such as volumes not being mounted, program and document icons changing, when trying to move a file (within folders on my internal drive) it's being copied instead of moved, and so on...
    I'mreally desperate for a little help, as I haven't got a clue about what's going on.
    TIA for any input.

    Ok just randomly solved this problem.I checked the iPhone and found the manually manage the music was unchecked. Checking this fixes things, but everytime I plug my iPhone into the computer it unchecks it again. Yet another reason NOT to upgrade to iTunes 11.

    thanks

    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 to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

    How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
    My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
    Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
    Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
    Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
    Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one which has already been described is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

  • How to delete duplicate songs itunes for windows?

    How to delete multple duplicates of songs on Itunes for windows?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to. There are other ways to deal with deal links alone, but those won't preserve that information.
