ITunes match matched songs to wrong language

iTunes match has matched some of my Indian songs to wrong language. Many of the big budget movies these days are releasing their movies in several languages at the same time and making them all available to purchase from iTunes store. When I ripped a CD I already had, iTunes matched some of them into a wrong language. Name of the song is still showing original, but the actual track is in wrong language.
Is there any way I can force iTunes to re-match?

Songs that are ineligible because they are too low of a bit rate can be converted to a higher bit rate by right-clicking and creating either an AAC or MP3 version.  Mind you, the quality will NOT improve; in fact it could degrade a little, but the songs will indeed be re-encoded at a higher bit rate.  Once iTunes recognizes that they are encoded at a high enough bit rate, they will no longer be ineligible. And they greatest part is, if they are matched by iTunes, then not only will you have them in the iCloud, but you will be able to delete the original song files (do not select the option to delete them from iCloud) and re-download the matched songs from iTunes in far greater quality.

  • Garbage characters in iTunes when copying songs in chinese language

    I copied some English and Chinese songs from my external harddisk to iTunes. Instead of displaying the artists and song name in simplified/traditional chinese for the Chinese songs, it is showing garbage characters. The English songs are displaying correctly. What should I do?

    Tried to convert ID3 tag(all ID3 versions and reverse unicode) but still doesn't work.
    They may need to be converted to Unicode from a legacy chinese encoding. Try ConvertZ

  • ITunes saves dropped songs to wrong folder

    Because of the size of my MP3 ad WAV music collection, I store my song files onto a SAS RAID array instead in my user's Music folder.  The path to this folder ls "/Volumes/Audio Storage/Music".  This has worked fine for quite a while, but I've built a new Lion system for audio work and things have gotten odd.
    My starting settings in the Advanced section are both Keep iTunes folder organizaed and Copy files off.  I then drag and drop the folder into the Music panel of iTunes and after a few minutes, all 50K± songs are imported.  I then go into preferences and eable Copy Songs for any new music.  Last night I imported Fr/action's entire library and the import succeeded, but this morning I noticed that the songs had been imported int9o a new Music folder within my specified folder - "/Volumes/Audio Storage/Music/Music".  While doesn't present a problem with playback or logically managing the collection, I'm curious as to why iTunes added the new folder instead of just copying the new group / album / song hierarchy into the defined folder?
    Is this a bug, or am I missing some setting?

    Hi I am having similar problems.
    I recently bought an external hard drive that i wish to run my music and itunes library off of, i have an ipod and iphone 3gs. I am having problems with it not updating the apps in the folder i have a designated and sending all updates to a newly created folder (which i have deleted) in the c drive being music in an itunes folder, But i want it to go to the external hard drive. My itunes importing and all files have been moved to this external hard drive. itunes is being completely run off the external being installed on there as i thought that might be why its creating this folder on the c drive, with itunes library.itl, itunes extras and genius.itdb, and itunes music library.xml
    Can anyone help me would be greatly appreciated thanks

  • Why does iTunes Match download songs that I skip?

    I haven't seen this question posted yet, but feel free to direct me to any pertinent posts.
    I've been using iTunes Match for the last couple days, and all in all I really enjoy the service. There is one issue that I've yet to see addressed on these boards yet though; why is iTunes Match downloading songs that I skip? I listen to all my music in random, so occasionally there will be a song I just don't want to hear at the moment. I assumed that if I don't listen to a song completely that it would not be downloaded to my device. Not true apparently. I was able to use about half a gig of data in a few hours just by skipping songs. Every song that was skipped, even if I didn't hear a single second of it, was downloaded (at an average size of 5-8 MB). I sincerely hope this is just a bug and not a 'feature'.
    Any insight on this would be appreciated.

    I have noticed this too. I filled up my phone VERY fast yesterday.
    and deleting is not easy, lots of left swipe DELETE action, took a while.

  • HT4914 Will iTunes match match songs that have been downloaded using a different audible account?

    Will iTunes match match songs that have been downloaded using a different audible account?

    Hey there Chriskir,
    It sounds like you would like to delete all the songs from your iPad but still be able to access them in iTunes Match. You can delete all the songs from the Music section of your Usage in Settings by swiping your music left:
    Settings > General > Usage
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

  • ITunes Match deleted songs from my hard drive. I had to re-rip them. How can I stop this from happening?

    iTunes Match deleted songs from my hard drive. How can I prevent this from happening if I try it again?

    iTunes Match can in no way be considered a backup service, this is due to the inexact nature of the 'matching process' (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112, for more detail).
    Loss of files from a Disk is certainly possible through media failure.  However, the extent of iTunes Match capacity is solely to influence the content of the cloud.  Perhaps there was a coincident, or pre-existing, failure of the disk which was simply exposed by the iTunes Match interrogation of the disk content.
    There are certainly other services which depending upon your goal may work well.  For example, Google Play with gBeats IOS App works very well.  My use of Match is to synchronise across several computers and to drive Apple TV and an IOS device - other IOS devices still use sync for specific music and are complimented by gBeats for access to the full library when local mobile signal strength is high.
    The strong advice to always start with a secure backup remains but if your primary concern is iTunes Match interfering with physical disk content you can relax - it simply does not have this ability.  (Apology to Sherlock, further investigation required).

  • I synced my iTunes with my iPhone 5. Some of the titles don't match the songs. When I checked the iTunes database, yes it is the latest version, the titles and songs matched correctly. so how do I fix this on my phone?

    I synced my iTunes with my iPhone 5. some of the titles on't match the songs. I checked my iTunes database, it is the latest version, and the titles and songs all match. So how do I fix this on my iPhone?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • ITunes not playing songs from iCloud in Match

    I keep 50% of my music library on an external HD. I subscribed to iTunes Match to be able to access my entire library when my HD isn't available (traveling, HD in sleep mode, etc.). But iTunes won't play any songs that are stored on my external HD when the HD isn't available, even when the songs were purchased on iTunes, and even when iTunes has matched them and shows them as "purchased." When I try to play the song, iTunes says the external HD isn't available, and offers to allow me to locate the song (which is impossible because I'm not near the external HD). Why won't it use the copy that's stored in iCloud? Isn't this the whole point of iCloud, i.e., to allow me to stream my music library from anywhere?
    I have an active internet connection, and I've already updated Match and turned it off an on again. But iTunes won't play any of my songs from iCloud; only from my Macbook hard drive, which certainly isn't the point of Match.

    Sorry Michael, but while this may not be considered a bug technically, it's REALLY poor design.  I have the same issue - I have too much music to store on my computer, so I store it on an external drive.  How does Apple expect people to figure out how to adjust for this "design"??  I'm an experienced mac user of over 20 years, and I didn't understand what was going on (aside from my external drive not being connected).  New iTunes/iCloud users are definitely not going to understand.  Saying this is simply how it's supposed to work is not acceptable.  Frankly, Apple has totally messed up their iCloud implementation - it's SO convoluted, especially if you have any iDevices.
    For this issue, Apple really needs to change iTunes so that it's smart enough to stream music to a temp directory (and then have a setting in the Options in which you can empty it manually or according to a schedule, exiting iTunes, etc.), or at the very least, allow you to set up mulltiple libraries (which you can do manually, but iTunes doesn't track them at the same time).

  • HT1386 I am having trouble synching all 1700 songs that I just put into iTunes Music Match onto my iPod Classic device. It worked on my iTouch and iPad devices but not the Classic. How do I transfer the music successfully

    It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
    - Unsyncing all music and resysncing
    - Restoring the iPod

  • HT204406 iTunes Music Match Songs not loading to iOS devices

    I am using iTunes 10.6.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.4 with iTunes Music Match.  I have a few songs such as Guns N' Roses Coma which is uploaded to the cloud, however when I drop it into a playlist it will not download to my iPhone or iPad, when I attempt to download it states "This item cannot be downloaded.  The item you ahve requested is not available for download."
    When I go to my main music library I am able to play the song and have no issues, and it shows in the view option that the song is "Matched"
    In an attempt to remedy the situation I then deleted the song from my main computer library and moved the file to the trash.  At this point it gives you the option to re-download the song from the cloud.  I then receive the same error message, "this item cannot be downloaded.  The item you have requested is not available for download."
    I also receive a "stop sign" error message which states, "There was a problem downloading "Coma / Use Your Illusion I / Guns N' Roses. An Unknown error occurred (11111).  Please chedk that teh connection to the network is active and try again."
    Be assured I'm connected to the internet and have an active and authorized iTunes Match session going, i.e. the cloud icon is active.
    Can anyone assist me with what is going on, the whole reason I pay the fee to apple for this service is to be able to flawlessly download music from my library to my iOS devices so it doesn't make any sense that a "Matched" song wouldn't be availalbe for download?

    I haven't received any feedback but I tried to re-download the song I noted today and magically it worked and no errors.  I must believe that someone at Apple identified the problem and corrected it.  Thanks I guess...

  • After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".

    After using iTunes Match, 5 songs have a "was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPhone".
    I have deleted these songs and downloaded them from iTunes Match (they were "matched" and not "uploaded" files).  However, it still does not work.

    I have the same issue with 8 songs in my library. All are "Matched" and I've tried deleting them and redownloading them from iTunes Match, but they won't play in iTunes or transfer to any of my iDevices.

  • Itunes corrupting files--right title, wrong song

    I have Windows XP and I'm using iTunes 7.
    I've been putting together playlists, and suddenly something strange is happening frequently. I'm getting songs that are matched up with the wrong song names. All the songs are songs I have in my collection. Sometimes the original file is fine (i.e. only the playlist has the wrong song) and sometimes it is changed as well. I didn't resize the playlists (I did a search and found that can cause a similar problem). This is happening on itunes before I try to update my ipod.
    This is upsetting especially because I'm losing songs that I'll have to buy all over again.

    Open windows explorer.
    Rt Click on the c drive and then properties.
    Click on the tools tab
    hit the Check now button.
    If you have bad sectors then the drive is failing. Its my experience that if you see checkdisk repairing links when you are booting up then get your data off fast. Like I said two weeks ago all of a sudden my itunes stoppped working as I was importing cds. Then other stuff stopped working, so I rebooted the pc and saw the checkdisk startup. The very next day I backed up my data and bought a new drive. A while back when checkdisk would repair stuff it would do exactly what you describe, you play one artist but the music is someone else.
    Would the drive you are using be a Western Digital by chance?

  • How do I get a track from iTunes to match the master tempo of my project?

    I have a project open and I am adding a track from iTunes, but it does not line up with the tempo, making it impossible to play loops over it.  Is there a way to make the tempo of the track match the master tempo of the project?

    benfrommason wrote:
    so is there a way to mix songs together that aren't the same tempo?
    Yes. You have to decide which song is the "master" song that you match the other to. This song has to have the "follow tempo and pitch" option unchecked, the other song has it checked. Then you can use the tempo slider to match the songs to each other.
    (I even did it with "Sympathy for the Devil" which has an irregular beat - it gets faster as the song progresses, the folks didn't record with a metronome back then. Using a tempo curve, I was able to match it to a modern, steady-beat song.)

  • ITunes and Match not playing Apple Store purchases all the way through

    Hi!  I recently noticed that several (but not all) of the m4p songs on my computer will not play all the way through, with the music ending 30 seconds to 2 minutes before the end of the song.  I decided to try Match thinking this would solve the problem (since they were purchased from Apple, Match is supposed to provide a clean copy, right?), but the songs cut off at the exact same point through Match as well.  On my computer the song ends abruptly and switches to another.  On my phone, with Match, the song either stays blank as it counts down the rest of the track or switches to another one while the information on the first song stays on screen until the point where it should have ended.
    For a specific example: Ryuichi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence off the album 1996 is a classical m4p.  iTunes stops playing it 1:45 from the end. The stop and start times are listed correctly. It played correctly when I first purchased it from the Apple store in 2005.
    Any help fixing this problem would be appreciated. 

    I finally found some answers. I guess the problem is related to moving protected AACs to a new computer.  If anyone else is haivng this trouble, the solution can be found at:

  • All the album covers dont match the songs playing

    When I went to update my ipod, the album covers no longer match the song. HELP!!

    Since no one seems to have answered ...
    I get the impression that iTunes essentials are just lists of tracks.
    iTunes uses the Artist and album information to determine the artwork so it should pick up the appropriate artwork for each track if the album and artist are correct.
    Certainly this is the case for an album consisting of tracks from several albums - if the artist and album name are set to the original album.
