ITunes changes song volume

I downloaded Keep 'Em Seperated off a USB stick my friend gave me with a bunch of music. Well, when I play the song, it normally starts out with a quiter intro as opposed to the rest of the song. iTunes made it so that the song is all the same volume level. It's annoying me to no end. Anyone know how to fix it? I turned off Sound Check, and turned off the EQ.

The problem is likely in the file itself.  Buy a fresh copy from the iTunes Store or Amazon MP3 and it will probably sound much better.

  • 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.
    JO

    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.

  • Change song volume manually and precisely

    Does anyone know of a way to set a song's volume specifically? I have a bunch of files that I'd like to set manually to -10dB. The slider in iTunes is woefully inaccurate, nonlinear, and gives no feedback in dB. I can't seem to find another program that'll let me do this. It seems like it should be easy enough.
    Thanks.

    There is a little program I use for trimming MP3 files called, shockingly enough, MP3 Trimmer which is shareware. It does have a gain adjust feature, but I have not played with it much. It doesn't show DB unfortunately but you can boost the gain by percent. I just tried it with one tune and a 20% increase in gain (saved to a new file on my desktop) is definitely louder. I opened both versions with QuickTime player so iTunes was out of the loop, and the +20% gain one does play louder now.

    EDIT: OK I just added the track back into my iTunes and both versions seem to play at the same volume. ODD! They are definitely different OUTSIDE itunes when played with QT Player. Hmmm...

  • 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.

  • 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 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 comments - help?

    Hi,
    I wonder if anyone else has come across this.
    In the process of sorting music for my movement classes, I make a lot of notes in the "comments" field. Often I will write over the comments that are already there, whatever they may be.
    Sometimes, I'll click on a song, and the comments will strangely revert from what I'd written, back to the previous comments. This is very frustrating, to say the least. I don't know whether it does this when I'm not looking.
    Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to prevent it?
    Thanks
    Mark

    yeah, this is still going on. there have been no
    itunes updates that have fixed this. i've tried to
    reinstall itunes, but it still is modifying my song
    file data. it's incredibly annoying b/c i like
    knowing the date my songs were last modified and
    itunes thinks it is just allowed to do it on its own.
    which it is most certainly not. will somebody from
    apple post a helpful message or create some kind of
    update or SOMETHING?!
    I first noticed this when I do backups; the songs I've played are backed up all over again when doing an incremental backup, or a duplicate operation to another volume.
    I haven't had time to trouble-shoot this since first posting, which is why I haven't posted since then, but it's nice to hear I'm not the only one.

  • 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.

  • MBP keyboard backlight turns off when itunes changes songs

    Anyone else encountered this? I turned off all of my iTunes related plug-ins and add-ons and it still happens. Whenever the song changes or I play/pause iTunes, my backlight goes off. Is this a 'feature'?

    That sounds rather odd. I always have Itunes on and it never happened to me, are you sure that it is not some weird coincidence? Is it only happening when you have iTunes on??

  • ITunes  changing song information with get information

    in some cases when using the command I the song title is not highlighted and the information
    cannot be changed, in one case this affected several songs in one album but not all, this album
    was purchased thru amazon. any ideas

    Just though of something else from the id3 tag, I decided to convert the song again in mp3, which it was already, the point being I converted the song, this new song was then edited and I was also able following this to edit the faulty one, then I went in show me in finder and delete the one I just converted. It is a long way to go at it I just hope there would be an easier way to get access to the song title. I have notice more and more song I get are like this.

  • ITunes changes songs during the last minute mark

    Anyone ever listening to a song all the way through and then iTunes will start playing a random song, but the player tells you it is still the same song playing?
    Example: I'm listening to Mr. Oizo Tweeter Trouble then at the 4:15 minute mark it starts playing Wu-Tang Clan for the remainder of the song.
    I tried deleteing the album from my iTunes and re-adding it to my library and it still does it.

    'Failed to do this'??? Good grief - i was hoping for HELPFUL guidance, not something/someone sounding like a 19th century school-master haha!!
    I made the deliberate choice NOT to transfer the contents of my previous computer to my present computer - for reasons i don't choose to get into here.
    If you can understand my question & IF you have some helpful solution to a problem which was in actuality caused by Apple - keeping in mind, MANY people have experienced this SAME problem when the uploaded the last update, not just ME! - i would very much appreciate it.
    'MAHALO'.

  • 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?

  • What is "Determining Song Volume?"

    And why does it take so long?
    I want to update a restored iPod on iTunes 7, but it's spending forever going through 4,000 some songes to "Determine Song Volume." I have not seen iTunes do that before.
    Is there a way to make it stop?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    iTunes "determins song volume" so that it can play back all songs with about the same volume. To do this is it has to go through all your music and determin the volume of each song.
    You probably never noticed this before since it is quite fast doing just a few songs at a time (the way most of us add music to our libraries). Unfortunately iTunes 7 aparently goes through all songs and determins the volume again (probably becuase there was a problem with this is some earlier versions of itunes)
    You can make it stop by turning off "soundcheck" in the playback preference pane.
