How to label itunes tracks?

Hi,
I have imported a CD in Itunes
but it did not automatically place any label on it.
How do I place labels for author, genre and track names so that I can then easily find this CD in the library?
Since it did not do it automatically and now I can only find
the CD by looking into the recently added folder.

For Mac read Option-click when you see someone mention right-click.
Select all the songs to start with, use Option-I to "Get info" on the album, enter the album title, artist (if one or two tracks have guests put the album artist here & amend later) album artist, genre, year, no. of tracks etc. then click OK.
Now select the first track, use Option-I to "Get Info", enter the track name & amend the artist details if required. Use the Next & Previous buttons to move between tracks until you've entered all the information.

  • 2 Qs: stripping the word "the"; how to label 540 tracks "holiday" (genre)

    I have so many tracks that have "a" or "the" as the first word, and this makes it extraordinarily difficult to find them with the scroll-wheel on my iPod (easier on iTunes, of course, but still annoying). The other problem is - how do you mass label tracks? If I want to grab all my holiday music and put "holiday" in the "genre" column, how do I do this?
    I'm using iTunes 6.0.5
    Thanks in advance.

    You can select more than one file at a time in the iTunes library... on a Mac, I believe you can do a shift click for consecutive files and an option click for random files. Then, click File > Get Info. This enables you to edit information for all songs that you currently have selected. You can now change the genre on all of them.
    As for the "a" and "the" I can't really think of any tips or tricks, other than removing that word from the file name. Which, doesn't sound like the best option.

  • How do I delete tracks in my itunes library?

    I accidently downloaded an album more than once into my itumes library.  How do I delete tracks or complete albums that I no longer want?  I click the delete key on the keyboard, but that does not work.  There is no DELETE choice available under File and Edit in Itunes.

    Hey Dana from Seattle,
    Thanks for the question. Are you attempting to delete the content from the “Songs” view in iTunes? You’ll need to switch to this view to delete content:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    Mac or PC
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
    3. Click Songs in the navigation bar.
    4. Click the song you want to delete.
    5. Press Delete on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11 or later, the album cover art will remain visible, but a Download icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you can't download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
    Thanks,

  • HT2953 how to join audiobook tracks in iTunes 11

    Since there's no Advanced tab in iTunes 11, I can't figure out how to join audiobook tracks into one.  I am trying to add an audiobook to iTunes so I can transfer it to my iPod. For instance, each Disc has 10 different tracks.  I used to be able to click on the Advanced tab and then click Join and the tracks would be combined into one.  I don't see any option for doing that now.  Thanks for any help.

    Just found the answer on another thread.  Answer was from j5Garcia:
    You have to select the tracks to join then go to options I have been joining tracks with no issues. It took me a bit to figure out but I find it easier to join tracks than before since its right on the screen and you no longer have to go to the the toolbar.
    If i could figure out how to take a screen shot I would post it.

  • How do I use the Services menu to convert text to an iTunes track?

    I'm trying to convert text to an iTunes track using the Services option on the Firefox drop down menu, but having trouble with it. I have set my preferences to turn on that option, but all that happens is I get a spinning wheel at the top of my screen, and it doesn't record. I can't see anything in the iTunes settings that I need to change, but wondering if that could be the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

  • How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite?

    How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite? I tried re-setting the media folder location, but it didn't work. What else should I do?

    The issue is not related to the external drive. iTunes Match has difficulties matching tracks ripped fom CDs because they may differ slightly from the versions on sale in iTunes. You can try the match again. Otherwise do a search of this forum. There are already many discussions on this subject here that may help you.

  • How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name itself?

    Hi everyone,
    So I have this file with songs from everywhere. I spent quite some time now to make sure that the structure of each file's name is as such : "Singer - Song name", hoping that everything would be read by iTunes accordingly. However, either iTunes read it well, or it didn't read it at all ("Singer - Song name" appearing in Title alone), or iTunes read the "media" of the file (ie. what the guy I downloaded it from wrote for it in the Preferences, which usually is in capital letters or with a bunch of weird underscores). As I'm OCD and need everything to be neat, I'm highly tensed right now. I really want everything to be neat and clear!
    So, how do I make sure that iTunes reads the files' names such that it knows the structure is "Singer - Song name"? Thanks.

    iTunes doesn't use file names to determine how music appears in your library,  Rather, it uses metadata that is split between:
    data elements that are embedded within the media files
    data elements that are included in the entries in the iTunes database
    No amount of reorganization, renaming or other manipulation at the file level will make any difference to how songs will appear in iTunes.  Using your example:
    the value of the track number element is 1
    the value of the artist element is "Elvis Presley"
    the value of the song name element is "Blue Suede Shoes"
    Depending on how you configure iTunes then the file name is either:
    completely independent of iTunes (i.,e., the file containing this song could be xyz.mp3)
    dependent on the metadata managed by iTunes, (i.e., when you have these two options set:
    then iTunes will set the file name to be 1-01 Blue Suede Shoes.mp3 where:
    the file is in a folder called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the album)
    that folder is in one called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the artist) which is in iTunes Media\Music
    Going back to your question "How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name" the answer is simple - you can't, as this is not how iTunes works.  There are some third-party utilities that you can use to set some metadata element values based on parsing of file names which might be a useful first step.  However, to use iTunes effectively you should really forget about / ignore file names - manage your media using appropriate metadata and allow iTunes to look after file names behind the scenes.

  • How do I add track marks to a continuous mix?

    I purchased an album from iTunes that contains one track that is a continuous mix of music for over an hour. How do I add track marks to the mix when burning it to a cd? I would like to seperate it into smaller pieces while still preserving the continuous mix. Is this possible?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You can not do it in iTunes. Well I should say, you can not do it very easily. You basically need to break the file up into many files, one for each chapter. If the files can have gaps between them (they are not continuous live a live show) you can put those files back into iTunes and then burn them to a CD. If you need them to run together seamlessly, then you may need an outside application (like Toast) to put them on a CD with no gaps. I know iTunes now supports gapless playback, but I don't know if that includes when burning to a CDR or now. I still use iTunes v6, so no experience with it.

  • HT1849 how do i get track info to appear on car cd player

    how do i get track info to appear on car cd player

    In iTunes, select all of the tracks that are on the same album (you can select mulitple items by holding down the command key and clicking on each item), right click and select "get info". Click on the Info tab and in the Album Artist field, type in the album artist. For example if you were to rip a Red Hot Chili Peppers CD, just put in Red Hot Chili Peppers and press ok. After that, they should all group into the same album.

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • How to move sound track with video to another drive

    If I want to work on a project on another Mac, I copy the iMovie Events and Projects folders to a portable drive, then drag them into the correct folders of the other Mac. (Not sure if this is the best way, but it works.) But the sound track is missing if I don't have the same songs in that Mac's iTunes. What's the best way to keep the song with the project when I transfer to another Mac?

    I tried the Consolidate command, and I see how it works, copying the events or clips to another >drive. But how does the music track get transferred? I don't see it in the copied folder.
    If you followed the instructions, the music track is there. It is probably in the Project file. If you right click on the RCPROJECT file, select "Show Package Contents" and see if you can spot it.
    If I consolidate from one computer to a portable drive, what happens when I plug the portable >drive into another computer? Does iMovie just see the project and events on the external drive? Or >do I have to drag them to the new computer's drive? What about the music tracks? Do I have to >import them into the other computer's iTunes?
    Yes, iMovie sees the external drive, and you can work on your movie. If you prefer, you could drag the RCPROJECT file to the Movies/iMovie Events Folder and then run the Consolidate command again to move everything to the new computer, but you really don't need to. It should work fine on the external drive.
    The external drive must be formatted as Mac OX Extended (journaled)
