Import songs including rates of songs

Hello
I had to reinstall my PC.
I restored all the music files.
But when I import my music in iTunes with the command: File\folder to mediathek
I get all my music back but the ratings of the songs are lost.
How can I import my songs including the rates, if possible even with the played track?
Help would be really appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Best regards
Nils

Thank you very much for the reply, this is very kind.
Unfortunately I do something wrong as I can't restore the ratings.
I have restored all my songs and the whole itunes folder which contains the library ITL file.
When I choose 'add folder to mediathek (or similar as I had to translate it as I use a german version) it brings back my songs but not my ratings.
First I had my songs in a different folder structure than iTuns with the library. But also when I moved only the ITL-file or the whole iTunes folder to same folder structure as the songs it doesn't work.
My iTunes folder contains:
files:
\itunes library, itunes library extras, itunes genius, iTunes Music library, sentinel
folders:
\Album Artwork
\iTunes Music
\Previous iTunes libraries
\Wiedergabelisten
What do I wrong? What are the exact command I have to do?
Help would really be appreciated as it would be a nightmare if I would lose my ratings as it took so much time to rate it.
Thank you very much.
Nils

  • How can I reduce the bit rate of songs in my Music Library to enable me to

    At the moment i can only fit about 1300 songs on my iphone and also have used up half the space on my 120gb Classic with 7000 songs which is a lot less than what i was told would fit on. so............
    How can I reduce the bit rate of songs in my Music Library to enable me to fit more songs onto my iPhone or iPod Classic.. and what is the minimum rate that i should stick to in order to retain good sound quality.

    For existing tracks, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
    For CDs you import in the future, change the Import settings in the iTunes -> General preferences.
    As to what will be a good bit rate, that's going to be up to you and what quality you find acceptable, but many people find that 128 kbps AAC is the optimum balance between small file size and quality.

  • Why is it that whenever i rate a song in iTunes for the first time, the volume slightly decreases?

    - i mean, THE volume of THE song. not the computer volume. or even the iTunes volume.
    - i swear, there's nothing wrong with my headphones. I checked!
    - when i rate the song the SECOND time, nothing happens. the volume doesn't decrease. or even increase.
    - What can i do about this?

    Same thing happens to me - drives me f-ing nuts. I assume it is some kind of sound check related bug.

  • HT1711 I have recently upgraded to IOS 7 and now cannot rate my songs in itunes. I single click on the song and hit the applicable dot under ratings which usually then converted to a star. Now it does nothing when I click on the dot. What's wrong?

    Since I upgraded to the latest IOS, I cannot get Itunes to rate my songs. My ratings determine which playlist my songs are entered into. For two days, I've tried to rate the last 4 songs I downloaded but when I click on the songs to bring up the 5 little dots, nothing happens when I click on the applicable dot. Normally I get the stars but not now. Can someone tell me what's going on and what I have to do to make rating a song work?  Thank you!

  • Is there any possible way to set your itunes to just show the album name without the songs included in the album in artist view. and then be able to select the album to expand all the songs. this would be ideal as I have many albums under certain artists

    I use to use windows media player. The layout was great. It would have icons (one of the album artwork inside the folder) for the artists. you could click on the artist and it would have the icons for all of the albums (similar to itunes) however it would not have all the songs included in that album listed underneath or within it. you had to click on the icon for the album to go into that particular album to view the songs. In my personal opinion this was much easier to search for a particular album especially if you had many albums under one artist as I do. I collect live concert recordings for several particular bands. It would be really nice if itunes would allow you to contract the songs names within each album under artist view and have some way to exand them or open a seperate album folder when clicking on the album name through artist view. is this even possible. does anyone know a way to allow this is happen. you would make a serious music collector very happy. I know this is a crazy request but for people who are serious music collectors like myself with over a TB of music it is much easier to consolidate each individual album under each individual artist for faster searching/viewing needs

    You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

  • Is it possible to raise the bit rate of songs higher than 256 on iTunes? If not what should i use or do to raise the bit rate of songs?

    Is it possible to raise the bit rate of songs higher than 256 on iTunes? If not what should i use or do to raise the bit rate of songs?

    Songs you rip from CD can have their bitrate increased to a maximum of 320Kbps from the iTunes preferences; alternatively, the default encoder can be changed to a lossless one. Songs from other sources have a fixed maximum bitrate.

  • Lately, when I play a song from a newly imported cd, itunes moves the song to another location. The song is still in the main list but it is no longer with the rest of the album. Any ideas?

    Lately, when I play a song from a newly imported cd, itunes moves the song to a different location in the library. The song is no longer grouped with the rest of the album. Any ideas?

    Hi, llmrfan.
    I have experienced this as well.  Usually it is something simple in the metadata that iTunes recognizes as different.  Try selecting all the songs at once in that album and get info on multiple tracks.  At that point you can mark them as part of a compilation.  The article below walks you through this process.
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

  • Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs.  Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

    ....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
    Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
    Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

  • Siri can't understand "Rate this song 5 stars"

    My goal is to rate all of my music.
    So I have a playlist of all 'unrated' songs, that I typically play to/from work in the car during the home-work-home commute.
    So I'd like to be able to instruct Siri to rate the current sing playing by just saying 'rate this song 4 stars' or something like that.
    That would be the least distracting to my driving and allow me to use the commute to rate my songs.
    Other commands could be :
    -Add to playlist <playlist name>
    -Remove from this playlist
    -Copy (or move) to playlist <playlist name>
    I thought that this would have been one of the most useful Siri command sets for the music playing while driving/moving context.

    I this is very strange indeed.in my case it's exactly the opposite that is happening.Siri has no problem understanding me on my iPhone 5 but all of a sudden starting two days ago, Siri Eye in my Honda Civic doesn't understand me or parts of what I'm saying only....

  • Import a garageband for iOS song always shows a 0% below projects.

    It is just after I uploaded songs from my iOS garageband (newest version and iOS), I can see my projects on the "import a garageband for iOS song" window (also the latest version), but there were 0%s under the projects. I clicked the project icons but nothing happened.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Will put this on Apple's todo wishlist for iMovie for Mac OSX.
    MEANTIME:  My main workaround is to:
    1.  Crank out an iMovie for iOS trailer video in HD 720 or HD 1080.
    2.  Copy the video file to the iMovie for Mac OS X machine.
    3.  Import the video file under a new Event under iMovie for Mac OS X.
    4.  Add a new Project to use to breakdown the video file into title sequences and "video well" shots.
    5.  Carefully Detach Audio from each "video well" shot.
    6.  Save and finalize the new Project for use as a "Trailer Template" Project.
    7.  Duplicate the "Trailer Template" Project for each New Trailer in that style.
    8.  And then insert new Event video sequences into video well shots.

  • FCP X can't import iTunes music - says "The song "Warp Factor" could not be used because the original file could not be located."

    FCP X can't import iTunes music - says "The song "XXXXX" could not be used because the original file could not be located."
    I saw the reply that iTunes was probably moved. I restored it from Time Machine when my hard drive crashed. How do I fix it to import into FCP X?

    I figured it out by going into iTunes and clicking on the Library link under File. This bring up a box that allows the music files to be reconnected to the iTunes music folder.
    FCP X now sees the music and it can be placed into the project timeline.

  • Syncing issue: Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "[name of song]", were not copied to the iPhone "[name of iPhone]" because they could not be found.

    When trying to sync with any of my apple devices the following message is displayed:
    Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "[name of song]", were not copied to the iPhone "[name of iPhone]" because they could not be found.
    For a list of items that could not be copied, click the + below.
    86 total problems.
    I am able to play the songs in my iTunes library without any issues and there is no "!" next to the listed songs in my library.
    It is only when I try to sync my devices that this problem arises.
    The songs are also on my laptop and not on an external hard drive.
    Can someone please help me out.
    Thanks

    Hey thanks for the reply.
    When the box pops up there is no option to search for the location. I just have to click ok.
    Then when I go to the songs with problems in my iTunes library and try to play them they play fine.
    It is only while syncing that iTunes for some reason is unable to locate the song.
    Any suggestions?

  • When importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed?

    when importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed? I am using PC with windows 7.
    Thanks.

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist, though for compilations you should also set the part of a compilation flag to yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • I uploaded/imported two CD's (51 songs) into my library as playlists. Now, I cannot download these 51 songs into/onto my Ipod because I can not find a sync, or link, that allows me to  do this. Any answers

    I uplodaded/imported two CD discs (51 songs) into my library as playlists. Now, I cannot find a sync, or link, that allows me to download those 51 songs into/onto my Ipod Nano which is synced and connected. Any answers?

    You can choose what to sync in iTunes when you connect your iPod, choose it, and then go to the tab "Music", there, choose those playlists to be synchronized.
    If you sync your iPod now, the playlists should be synchronized.

  • Does anyone know how to burn a CD+G (karaoke CD) onto a Mac so that I can then burn it onto a CD to use in my karaoke machine that will include lyrics and songs?

    You already have a CD+G disc.
    You cannot make another as it is a violation of copyright.
