ITunes changes song's artist or Name to Xing, Has also deleted some totaly.

I've uploaded a few CDs and Itunes has canged them to an abreviated Artist/song name and added Xing. The songs have no playtime (0:00) and they wont play (Example- System of a Down changed to SysXing)
iTunes has also totaly deleted all of my Queens of the Stoneage CDs. This hasn't happened to any purchased music tho.

That sounds odd.
Do those CDs have any security warnings on the back?
I almost bought a Santana CD today but it said it wasn't really a CD and might not play on some players.

Before you do anything, please note that all your purchases made with your Apple ID and iTunes account, are forever tied to that ID and account. You will not be able to update apps unless you use the Apple ID used to download them. You will not be able to access music if you delete it from your device, it will not show as purchased.

" Your Apple ID has been diabled for security reasons. to enable your account, reset your password on appleid.apple.com" which i did, after i have entred the apple ID, it gives me two options to either change my password by sending it to my email acccount used, first time i clicked use email to reset pasword. i then went to msn to long into that email and msn says that this account has been blocked due to the password being entred to many times to activsate this clcik link beloew and so i did, it then took me the security queastion and the alternative email used within that account is completly different to what put in when i first made that account 2 years ago, the security question to that email is in portugues/ spanish and im neither, so clarely someone has hacked into that email and blocked it... and this why i cant change the password for my apple ID..

I have the lates version of Itunes

I have managed to figure out how to solve this problem, after looking around I saw a lot of people kept saying makesure it is list view however this still did not work, I found the only way for me get these buttons back was to change the Movie to a TV Show and only then did the "Next" and "Previous" button appear. Right Click> Get Info > Options > Media Kind and then Select TV Show, this is extremely inconvienent but the only way that I found that has worked so far.
Hope this works for you too!!

How do I create albums in iTunes, change song names/artist names, etc!!??

Ack! Please help me! I am a total dummy and I have no clue how to use my iPod video 30GB. First, I connected iTunes and all my old songs (previously dl from kazaa and limewire) were transferred over, only since the sharers spelled the artist names differently, I have Led Zeppelin (and every other artist) spelled a million different ways so all of the songs are listed in my library separately.
So, um, I need to know how I can at least manage my albums or whatever so that I can put all songs by one artist in one place and just name it something different, and also, if I do this in iTunes and then hook up my iPod will it automatically update to reflect these new categorizations? Also...if none of that is possible, how do I delete all of the songs from my iPod and iTunes so that I can try to arrange them differently in my music folder so that when they're imported into iTunes they can all be placed together more correctly?
Could it have something to do with the fact that when I installed iTunes I selected the option to "Do it myself" rather than "iTunes do it for you" option when selecting the songs from my music folder? ANY help would be so so so greatly appreciated!!!!!

In iTunes, right click on the song and go click on the selection 'get song info' (Or somthing like that, I`m not 100% sure, but i think it it similiar) and you can change what you want in there.

ITunes changing song name!!

I have about 100 songs in my library, half of which were purchased in the last week. Up until today, I haven't had any problems with the song names, artists, etc.
However, while deciding what to listen to a few minutes ago, I noticed a song was named -pl that's all. I had to click on the song to play it, in order to hear what it was.
I have looked everywhere in iTunes for a way to "rename" a song, but I can't find a way to do that. Is it even possible to rename a song?
Why would iTunes just change the name of a song and give it such a stupid name?
Has anyone else had any issues like this?
Thanks for any help.

Right click -> Get Info. Name it whatever you want.
You can also rename a song by clicking the whole line once, wait a second, then click the song name again, and you can edit right in place. It's likely that you did this by accident without realizing it when your song got renamed to "-pl"/ Those three keys are right beside each other on the keyboard.

Importing Text file in to iTunes with song and artist names

A friend made a compilation CD for me. He exported the artist and song names in to a text file from iTunes. I am having trouble importing the information in to my itunes. The people at the apple store said that it was not possible and that I would have to import his whole iTunes library.
Thanks.

Hi Dennis,
In order to import flat files into MDM do the following. This solution is specific to MS Windows:
I. Set up ODBC for *.txt or *.csv files
1. Open Data Sources (ODBC) interface:
Start> Settings> Control Panel--> Administrative Tools -->Data Sources (ODBC).
2. Select System DSN Tab in Data Sources (ODBC) interface.
3. Click on [Add]. Select the Microsoft Text Driver. Click Finish.
4. Write a Data Source Name
5. Uncheck Use Current Directory to enable the [Select Directory] button.
6. Click on [Select directory] to determine the source directory.
7. Select the source file.
8. Click [OK] and return to the ODBC Text Setup screen.
9. Click [OK].
10. Return to the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog and click [OK].
II. Importing from Flat file
1. Run MDM Import Manager.
2. Select ODBC from the Type drop-down field of the Connect To Source dialog.
3. Enter the DSN name from the Setup ODBC Connection dialog above.
4. Select the file name with extension (.csv or .txt) in the Tables panel of MDM Import Manager and the file content in the Records panel.
Hope this solved your problem.Please mark helpful answers

Consolidation files problem - iTunes changes song name

I upgraded Library to iTunes Medial Organization. Now, every time when I consolidate a file into iTunes library and click to play the file right away, iTunes will cut off a part of the song name and replace a letter "O" at the end. It happened once to change all the song names in the same playlist, however I unable to pinpoint how did it happen.

Sounds like Windows Media Player is "fixing" the info in the ID3 tags for you.
When you play it in iTunes, it will update the library to match the ID3 tags, which is why it looks like iTunes is doing it.
In WMP, Tools -> Options -> Library.
Uncheck *Automatic media information updates for files*.
Any songs that WMP already messed with, you will need to add the info back.

ITunes changes song name when song is playing

I imported a CD that was made from a digitally downloaded album. When I did the import into iTunes, all the songs were imported as Track 1, Track 2, etc. I went into Get Info, Info tab, for each song and updated each song with the correct title. When I play any of these songs, the title will revert back to Track #. I do have my prefs set up to automatically retrieve CD track names from the internet. I'm running iTunes 9. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

ITunes changing song data.

Has anyone experienced a time when iTunes store will change the title or artist of a song that was ripped with iTunes. I've watched my songs change, although it has only happened once right before my eyes.

iTunes does not change any tag information, although there may be other programs on your computer that do. A possible culprit is Windows Media Player; look in WMP at Library > More Options... > Library and see if it is set to do anything that you don't want it to do.
Note that if another program changes a tag, iTunes will immediately reflect the change, which may give the appearance that iTunes is changing it.

ITunes Changes Song Titles When I drop Them In a Playlist

I am using ITunes 10.2.1 When I drag a song to a playlist if there are numbers in the title iTunes deletes the numbers ex. "1. MySong" becomes "Mysong". I like the numbers in there to keep track of the song order visually. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. Also, I don't want to store everything in a Artist / Album folder/directory, but in what is for classical music more logical: Composer / Album / Artist (= orchestra & conductor or soloist or the like). But also keep in mind that some characters are not allowed in naming a Windows-folder or filename. These characters are: \ / : * ? " | This is typical for any Windows-version (even Windows 7 32bit or 64bit). When you use these characters in iTunes, they will be changed in a '_'. E.g.: Bach: Matthaüspassion in iTunes will be in the Windows folder Bach_ Matthäuspassion.
Also, the total lenght of a filename in Windows (any Windows-version) is max. 256 characters, including folders and subfolders. So, even you change iTunes for another program for ripping and organizing your music like Mediamonkey, these limitations stand. Mediamonkey is not truncating the filenames into a maximum of 32 characters. iTunes has nevertheless the advantage using the CDDB-Gracenote database for its metadata and not FreeDB like the most of the other music library organizers. Although far from perfect, the Gracenote metadata are much more consistent for classical music than the FreeDB metadata. FreeDB is good for modern music, but it's crap for classical music. Less known alternatives like MusicBrainz are also rather consistent, but are too small. To give an idea: Gracenote and FreeDB have both metadata of more than 90 million cd's. MusicBrainz has only 8 million.

ITunes Changes Song Order

Sometimes when I import an album into iTunes it changes the order of songs as they played on the original recording. Is there away to fix, or reconfigure, the order in which songs play on a playlist?

I just discovered that if I right-click on the playlist, I can select "Edit Playlist." Hope this helps someone else.
