Itunes altering my song titles

I like to have my song titles capitalized.Yet when i alter the song titles in their folder by editing the id tag, and then import the folder into itunes,the lower case letters are back.Is there any way to stop itunes doing this

Yet when i alter the song titles in their folder by editing the id tag
Are you editing the filenames in the folder or editing the ID3 tags?
iTunes doesn't care what the file name is. It will use the ID3 tags.
When you edit the info in iTunes, it will change the ID3 tags. If the songs are in the iTunes music folder, iTunes will change the to match the song title ID3 tags.

  • ITunes changes my song titles why???

    When I enter my song titles many times I will add some descriptive word to the title for my own information - only maximum 6 letters . I also include the artists name with the song title..
    iTune changes the title sometimes it just enters the song title and other times it will enter the song title with the artist name within the song title and other times it just shortens the entry.
    Does anyone know if there is a setting that I can change so that iTunes enters the song title as I have entered it. I have looked and cannot find anything.
    My song library is almost 5100 songs and I use 2 ipods with my songs on them.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi. Can you tell me where you are editing your song titles. Is it in iTunes once you've added them to your library or are you renaming the file name then adding into iTunes? Thanks,

  • ITunes is changing song titles and artists

    iTunes appears to be infrequently and randomly changing the artist and song title tags of music in my library.  I usually just put my music on random shuffle, so it can take me a long time to actually identify errors -- like when I listen to music from a particular artist, or when I happen to glance at iTunes when a song iTunes has mis-re-named is playing.  So far, the errors seem to confined within single albums at a time, but that might just be because of the circumstances of me identifying the errors.
    In the first case I noticed a while back, an album with six songs had their titles all jumbled up.  Each song was titled with an incorrect song title from the same album.  The artist, album, and genre tags all remained correct.  In the most recent case, two songs from a compilation album had their artist and song title tags overwritten with the info from a third track on the same album (so I ended up with three songs with the same title and artist).
    Any idea what might be causing this apart from a crappy coding?

    If iTunes and WMP are referencing the same copy of the MP3, then a tag change in one will be reflected in the other. If that is not what you want, you will need separate copies of the song.
    Being picky, iTunes will write it's changes to the tag immediately (unless the file is locked as read-only) whereas WMP may choose to do it at some later point in time unless you use an option to "Apply media information changes". WMP will generally notice automatically that another appliation has modified the tag and updates it's library accordingly whereas iTunes only spots the change if it accesses the tag for some reason.
    If you want WMP & iTunes to play nicely together you are best off disabling the WMP options for "Rearrange music in the rip folder..." and "Automatic media information update..." (you can still do so manually). I also find it best to change the WMP rip folder to the same as the iTunes Music folder. Letting iTunes "Keep the music folder organised" is a matter of choice (I choose not) but at least WMP can cope if your files get shuffled around by iTunes whereas the reverse is not the case.

  • Song Name in iTunes shows Artist & Song title, but ID3 tag is Correct

    I recently recreated my entire music library on iTunes (6000 songs) by adding the entire MyMusic folder. I noticed that all the song titles had the Artist name then song name (this caused problems when I did a sync with my iPod). When I went back into my iTunes, if I played the song, the Song Name would change back to the Song Title (without artist), but I don't want to do that with 6000 songs. I wiped it out again, and started to add 1 folder at a time, and it seems to be fine, but again, I don't want to do that for every folder.
    Does anyone know why it does this when I add it all at once, and how can I prevent it. All my ID3 tags are fine (I've changed a bunch with MediaMonkey). Should I try a different tag editor? Any ideas?

    iTunes labels the songs by the track name only.
    iTunes prefs -> Advanced-
    Uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library*.
    The files will remain where they are and not be copied into the iTunes music folder.
    Uncheck *Keep iTunes music folder organized*.
    This will leave the file names alone.

  • ITunes changes my song titles

    Anyone know if there is a setting that tells iTunes to enter a song title just as I have entered it.
    I add a 6 characted set after the song title for my own information. Most of the time iTunes ignores this and just enters the song title and ignores my additional entries.
    Anyone know of a fix?
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

  • When I transferred my itunes library, several song titles have odd characters in them

    I transferred my library from PC to Mac - some song titles that look OK on PC have odd characters in their title on Mac - why?  These songs still play fine and I can find no other problem with them.

    My DeDuper script is designed to help clean up. See this thread for background.

  • Itunes 10 lost song titles/album info

    I upgraded to itunes 10. A week later I moved my library to an external drive following the instructions in the support section. I have done it twice before
    successfully.
    When I open itunes it is completely empty. There are no titles/albums/playlists.
    The bar on the left shows playlists names, but when I click on them nothing appears.
    I am able to play the tracks from the folders in finder, they play in itunes, the name of the song appears in the player. But this issue makes my itunes player application pretty useless.
    I tried uploading itunes 10 again. still nothing. I am in a bind.
    any suggestions?

    No, iTunes remembers the info from when it was burned.
    Insert the CD on the original computer.
    iTunes menu Advanced -> Submit CD track names.
    When you insert it in iTunes on another computer, it should look up the info at Gracenote.

  • How do I get the song titles to appear when I burn a playlist from iTunes?

    I burned a playlist from iTunes, and the song titles on the burned CD changed to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. How can I get the song titles to appear as they do in iTunes? Is this really too much to ask from the world's leading music player software?

    If you are burning an audio CD, you cannot as audio CDs do not have track names. Nothing to do with Apple.

  • Sometimes iTunes burns CDs with song title info on them, sometimes not

    When I burn a CD in iTunes, sometimes the song titles and other info seems to transfer onto the CD so that when I put it back in the disc drive the titles and artists show up on the iTunes track listing of the CD, other times it seems they don't transfer onto the CD so that when I put it back in the disc drive iTunes first tries to get the track info from theCDDB and then just lists the tracks on the CD as Track 1, Track 2, etc. Is there any way to assure iTunes consistently transfers the song titles & other info onto the CDs it burns, so that when I play those CDs in other machines that can display this info, the info is there for it to read?

    iTunes recently added the option of embedding CD Text into audio CDs (although the option is disabled by default). If you’ve enabled this feature, it’s likely that your car’s CD player is reading that. I don’t believe that iTunes is enabled to get track info from CD Text. It's possible to harvest track names from CD Text on a Mac with AppleScript. I’m sure it’s possible on a PC as well, although I’m not sure how.
    iTunes remembers audio CDs that you've burned and stores their track lists in your library file, so if you burn a CD, then re-insert it in your computer later, it should remember the track names. If you’ve replaced your library file, or the CD in question was burned on a different computer, then iTunes will have no record of having burned the disc, hence no track names.
    Hope that helps.

  • CD song titles do not appear

    I recently burned a CD with iTunes using the "include CD text" option. However, the only iTunes where the song titles show is the computer the CD was created on. Can anyone tell me why this is the case? If this is a quirk with iTunes, I will have to create my CDs using another program.

    iTunes can write CD Text, but cannot read it. You can find a list of ripping tools that will read CD Text here.
    If you don't have time to read the list, here is a summary: almost all ripping tools can read CD Text except iTunes.

  • Duplicate Song Title problem with Zen Mi

    Hello,
    I have a dark blue Zen Micro and with firmware I downloaded it is now version 2..02. As part of downloading the new firmware, all the songs were erased from my player. My problem started when I was re-loading all my songs. Every time it came across a song that had the same title as a song already loaded on my player (even if the artist was different), it stopped and gave me the option to either skip this song, skip all duplicates, replace the song or replace all duplicates. No option to load onto the player anyway.
    Since I happen to have a lot of songs that have the same title, but different artist, I am now missing a lot of songs on my player. When I called customer service, they told me to try re-naming the duplicates with a "2", i.e. Songtitle and Songtitle2. This didn't work, it still recognized the songs as duplicates, even with the '2', and wouldn't load them.
    This never happened with the old version - I was able to load all songs with no problem and I think it only notified me when the song title AND artist matched -- and even then I had the option to load it anyway if I wanted.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Ideally, I'd like to find a way to get the songs on my player without altering the song titles... Or if there is no way to fix it, anyone know how to remove this firmware and go back to the earlier version? I kind of wish I never loaded it now, even though the customer service person told me the latest firmware is always the best version to have.
    Thanks in advance!

    Certainly with the v firmware a duplicate is defined as having the same title, artist and album tag. If any of these differ then it isn't a duplicate... so I'm surprised you're not finding this with the MTP firmware.
    It might perhaps be with the MTP firmware it can't tolerate the same filename so this is worth double checking (whereas on the v2 firmware it doesn't care).
    Also triple check the tags on these supposed duplicate files using some good tagging software, that will show both the v and v2 tag.
    Are these MP3 files?

  • My computer crashed and I saved my songs to a folder. now that I have new comp with itunes how do I transfer the songs back into itunes while keeping the titles in tact?  When they transferred back in only about half of them had the titles listed.

    I want to transfer my songs from the old iTunes that I saved toi the new iTunes on my computer from a file I saved and keep the song titles in tact. how do I do this.?

    It is probably not wise to leave your e-mail and phone number on a public forum.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You purchase one download only.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • My songs are in my iTunes library but the song titles do not show up on the songs list.

    I have an older generation iPod nano, do I need to go back to an older version of iTunes so I can see the song titles on the song list? If so, does anyone have a link to the oder verson?

    Does anyone know of an audio CD burner that will consistently label the original information?
    Audio CDs do NOT have info except for CD-TEXT, no matter which program you use.
    The Redbook audio CD standard does not allow for anything except CD-TEXT.
    iTunes will write CD-TEXT but it will not read CD-TEXT.
    You can burn data CDs and all the info will be retained and can be played in iTunes.
