ITunes puts track number in name field?

I recently updated iTunes to 10.5 and a new issue has arisen. I loaded a new album into my library and I proceeded to apply track numbers to the songs. Usually I would click "Get Info" on the first song, enter the number in the track field, hit alt+n to go to the next song, type the next track number, etcetera. However when I hit alt+n to go to the next track, the name field gets highlighted instead of the track number field, so I have to click again on the track number field before I enter the number. This is quite a hindrance as before I could easily apply many track numbers within a short time, but this makes things so much more tedious. Is there a setting to fix this, or is this just a temporary bug that will be fixed later?

It's supposed to be able to cope with slightly different file & folder structures, missing track numbers, all tracks in just an artist folder, everything in Unknown Artist\Unknown Album etc. Details here. Can you give me an idea of how things are set out? Maybe it needs a little tweak to cope with the way you've done things, or we could use something like MediaMonkey to reorganize what you have into something the script can work with.
I'm going to be out for much of the day but I'll look in on this thread later.

Importing CD to Artist folder\Album folder\file with track number and name:

I have a problem then importing my cd’s to my harddisk using iTunes.
On my previous pc I got what I want, Artist folder, Album folder and file with track number and name:
e.g.
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\01 Blues Boys Tune.mp3
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\02 Bad Case Of Love.mp3
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\03 I'll Survive.mp3
But now I get:
D:\My Music\Compilations\Blues On The Bayou\01 Blues Boys Tune.mp3
D:\My Music\ Compilations \02 Bad Case Of Love.mp3
D:\My Music\ Compilations \03 I'll Survive.mp3
In iTunes my settings are Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced: iTunes Music folder: D:\My Music and checkmark in both: “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library”.
My version of iTunes is 8.0.1.11
Thanks in advance
Peter

It will depend on the album. Gracenote considers anthologies, a collection of tracks by the same artist taken from different albums, as a compilation. In iTunes the compliation setting should really only be applied to a collection of tracks by different artists.

A response on this subject from another post:
It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

I had an earlier post on this subject with a similar problem. I tried what you suggested and it worked indeed. You can select the artists from your Ipod on Itunes and after highlighting the artists/albums affected, click NO on the compilation box and the issue is resolved: the artists appear on the list.
Thank you so much!!!!.

Can't create AppleId with a number in Name

I want to create a new apple id with developer account in my company name, which has a number in the name. Apple doesn't allow me to enter a number in name field. How can I do it? I see many company name with a number in their names but I can't do it. Any one who can help here?
Thanks!

Oh okay, we have to make a call. Being in India, there is no local number and need to make International call. Anyways, thanks a lot for the quick response. Looks like it's not simple and straight forward to work as a company.

How do I get rid of the Track number in a song's name?

So I just got a new windows computer and transferred all my songs from my old windows machine to this one. Unfortunately, a lot of the files have numbers in front of their name, in fact almost all of them do (I'm talking about the actual file in their respective folders). What puzzles me is some of the songs, once added to itunes, have the track number in front of their name in itunes, while others do not. I started to rename each song, but that is taking way too long. Do any of you know of a way to select a large group of songs and modify each name only a little with out changing each one to the same thing? I pretty much have to delete 3 spaces before each song. Any suggestions would be really helpful.
P.S. the sort cuts for play/pause/skip/reverse only work for windows media center, which really isn't great. When I try to use them they will literally launch windows media center. is there a way to change this so that they will work for itunes?

Do a hard reset by pressing the button on the face of your Ipad and the on off switch.

Feature Request: iTunes to merge the "Song Name" & "Artist" fields

This is a feature request that i would like to see in a future release of iTunes. The option to merge the "Song Name" & "Artist" fields together. This would be a very valuable option when surfing your iTunes Library thru your iPod, Front Row, or Apple TV.
Let me explain:
Not everyone knows at the top of their head who sings a particular song. This is especially true when someone other than the owner of the iTunes Library is browsing through it.
Let's say that I want to browse my ENTIRE music collection all at once. The easiest way to do this, is by browsing thru the "Songs" list because it creates 1 massive list displaying ALL the songs in the library, without having to jump into different fields. The current problem with this, is, it only lists the name of the song. There are 2 problems with this philosophy. #1 - You must know who sings the songs to have any chance of making this a useful option because the artist is not displayed. #2 - It puts them in alphabetical based on the song name. Once again, not a very useful way to make this option really functional because you will have the Artists all over the map! Keeping the Artist's songs together makes it a much more feasable option.
The solution, I feel, would be to have iTunes create an "Option" that would allow users like me to make iTunes merge the "Artist" & "Name" fields together. Make it an option so that users who do not see the benefit to this, would not have to use it. By doing this, I could now surf my ENTIRE collection via the "Songs" field in a very logical approach.
For an example, let's take a song: Artist - "Def Leppard" & Song Name - "Pour Some Sugar On Me". By clicking this option, when browsing thru the "Songs" field, it would now display as: Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me. This allows me to browse my ENTIRE library while at the same time, keeping "like" songs together, and making it very easy to distinguish whether or not it is a song I want to select. By knowing that Def Leppard is a Rock Artist, it helps to distinguish the song.
I work for a custom AV integration shop that has put hundreds of music servers into homes. We have been teaching our clients the benefits of this for some time now, with great feedback. The only problem presently, is it requires the users to have to re-edit every single file by putting the Artist's Name & the Song Title into the "Name" field of iTunes. Very time consuming! As well, because you also have the "Artists" name entered in the "Artist" field, you get Front Row displaying the "Artist" name twice, once in the song name, and once in the artist's field.
Any feedback would be welcomed.
Regards,
Trevor

You might be able to get where you want using Chaotic Software's MediaRage. It can automate and batch tag editing, including building a Title tag that combines Artist and Title and, to possibly address you other problem, blanking the Artist tag.
MediaRage is not expensive and it is very powerful, you can even define regexs for how to parse tags.

ITunes 9.0.1 - continuously adding the Track number to filenames?

Hi all,
So I recently added some MP3's I had into my iTunes 9.0.1 library (automatically added by iTunes; "Upgraded" Media Organization enabled), and all was well.
Until I noticed something very odd: When the files were first added, every single one had a "01" or "02" in the front of its file name, and I discovered this was corresponding to the track number - not all that big of a deal.
*But what's really driving me insane is the fact that _every time_ I play a song, the same number that was in front of the file name, "01" or "02," is automatically added in front of the file name. I.e., if I play an MP3 _fifteen times_, fifteen "01" or "02" will show up in front of the file name.*
Can anyone inform me of what's causing this and what a solution would be? (And how to restore the filenames of all the MP3's I added?)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks & regards,
banshonman

Nota bene: The MP3's I added are Korean songs, with titles and artists typed in Korean. My speculation is that there's some kind of parsing bug with regards to how iTunes 9.0.1 looks at titles when it comes to foreign character sets... But I want to see if anyone else has been having this extremely annoying problem.

Why does the new iTunes put a new track in an unsorted playlist in the

When I add a song to an unsorted playlist, I expect the track to be placed at the end of the tracks already there. iTunes puts it the added track in the #1 position. Or it does 9 times out of 10. It is not even predictable, which makes it worse.
iTunes 12.0.1.26
Windows 7, 64-bit, service pack 1
500 GB, 4 TB RAM
iTunes library stored on external 2 TB drive, more than 44,000 songs and over 270 GB.

Do the following two things:
In the left-hand pane, right-click the name of the playlist, choose Edit Smart Playlist, and make sure that "Live Updating" is checked.
In the list itself, click the column header for "Last Played" so that the list will sort according to when it was played, with most recent on top.

Can you change the track number of a song got from the iTunes store?

I am trying to change the track numbers of stuff I have purchased from iTunes store. I have found that even if you change them in the Info tab section it doesn't actually change. I purchased a load of Muse B-sides and stuff from the iTUNES store and wanted to make them all into an album of b-sides all numbered 1 to whatever, but even if I do change the number like I said, when I put it onto my ipod it still seems to keep the track number it had originally. Say I purchased track 2 of a single. But on the cd I burn I want it to be track 7. So I burn the cd with all the tracks in the order I want them with Itunes ( having changed their track numbers as well in the info section ) but when I rip the cd back into Itunes and put it onto my pod the track that was track 7 on the cd ( but was originally track 2 off a single i purchased ) becomes track 2 again when it on my ipod? Any way round this?

Make a playlist and put them in whatever order you like within that playlist.
Cheers!

Track Number Choice greyed out in iTunes v11

I am ripping a WHOLE BUNCH OF CD's (More than 1500) and when I go to put in the information into the Item Information box (Command , I), I can't correct the track number. I would like to find a way to eliminate the 1/18 - 2/18 - 3/18 so on and so fourth and just get put track numbers 1, 2, 3, ....ect The Track Number (Blank) of (Number of Tracks on CD) is not editable, it is greyed out. Is there a way of editing this before it is ripped so it doesn't appear in the tag information??? I am using the Lame Encoder Script! I have been doing my tag editing in Kid3 (Version 2.0.1). It is taking alot of extra time to elimate the "/(number of tracks on the cd)" .... Can anyone help??? Thank You in advance for your time!!

It's not possible to modify track numbers on an unripped CD. Never has been that I know of.

ITunes 7 changes the mp3 filenames introducing a track number.this is crazy

Hi everyone:
I have a small network at home where everyone hook up to my computer so we can all enjoy my music.
The problem is that I decided to step forward into iTunes 7.
I've discovered that for a unknown reason, it has changed all the names for my archives!!!!
How can I undo this.......
Thanks to Apple for this real good treat.

I seem to have found the problem. Some mp3 files that did not have a track number set had nonsense data for the track ID3 'TRCK'. Setting it solves the problem (you can even erase it later).

Tracking number field in the Default settings for items section

I need to add the tracking number field in the Default settings for items section in the shopping cart creation transaction.
Could you please tell me inw hich structure should I add the custom field ?
thanks,
Rita.

Hi Atul,
I added the code of tracking number in in the html template saplbbp_mon_sc 1200 with reference to the code of purchase org field.
This added a field in the shopping cart report selection screen but without any description.
I will further learn html code and try to bring in the description and then try to handle this field in the badi bbp_mon_sc after_selection_screen and after_selection method.
Is this approach ok?

Artist info, track number, album title won't show up in iTunes

When I view the songs in explorer, I am able to see the info, but not in iTunes. When I am in iTunes and click on "get info" the ID3 tags are showing as v2.3 and only the track title is showing. When I "add folder to library" and the little progress window appears, it never shows "converting ID3..."
The same files opened in WMP all have complete info including track title, track number, album title.
The same folder is doing this on 2 different computers. We are talking about a huge amount of songs to have to update manually (total of 2.6G from this artist).
How can I get iTunes to show this info?
Troubleshooting info...I deleted a different album from iTunes, then re-added it to my library with no problems, so I am reluctant to blame the program. I'm thinking it is the files/folder. I kind of eliminated that with the attempt on the other computer.

Bump.

On holidays we took pictures with two cameras and an iPad. I put everithing on my PC. Rearranged them by date, time and or subject putting a number in front of the picture name. I synchronised with my iPad and my pictures show in misselaneous order. Help

We took pictures during oue holidays with two cameras and an iPad. I put all the pictures on my PC and reorganized them by date, time and/or subject, By putting a number in front of the picture name. Then I synced with my iPad. All the pictures show in a misselaneous order. What went or did I wrong?

You did nothing wrong, but the photo app puts stuff in chronological order.
You can look for another app. Afraid I don't have one to suggest, but I do understand that other apps will sort photos differently.
