ITunes sometimes changes ID3 Tags/Deletes Art

Hi
I currently keep all my MP3's ID3 tags as 2.2, as that version is what seems to allow the artist/album information to show up in the actual file info in my My Music folder.
Sometimes, when scrolling through on iTunes, an album's art will suddenly turn blank, and all of the songs in that album have turned to 2.3, and occasionally added things like composer and album artist, which I prefer to keep blank. I have to then select them all, change the ID3 tags back to 2.2, then paste the album back.
Why is iTunes doing this? Is 2.2 not the ideal ID3 tag for files?
Oh, and extra details if it helps. I'm running the most current version of iTunes, and all of my music is from CD's (so nothing from the iTunes store)

I agree with polydorus. It's WMP making hte changes. Esp since itunes by default uses ID3 v2.2, not v2.3 tags.
Also, it doesn't matter if you never use WMP - its default settings allow webpages to open WMP in the background without you even knowing.
You need to turn this auto-update "feature" off in WMP in 4 places.
Player tab: everything unchecked so WMP won't touch your files
Library tab: everything unchecked, esp the box to retrieve info from the internet
Privacy tab: everything unchecked, esp the box to update files
Security tab: everything unchecked so web pages can't launch WMP in the background
You also need to check these 4 settings after every windows update that includes a WMP update, because it has reset them back to some of the defaults, I have noticed.

  • ITunes 11 Changing ID3 Tags

    Ok, I've been using iTunes for years and like many I've found the new version, 11, to be frustrating.
    The main thing is ID3 Tags.
    These have always been customiseable. For someone OCD like me, being able to edit and customise ID3 tags is very important in keeping my iTunes "tidy". I don't want one album saying "Florence + The Machine" and another saying "Florence & The Machine". I want them both the same.
    But what I really want, more than anything else, is 100% control over what the ID3 tags say. On all the old versions of iTunes, I had this. Now, I don't.
    I've just listened to two albums by Dead Prez. They're stylised thus: 'dead prez'. So, it is that version which I've always had on my iTunes. However, after listening to one of the albums, iTunes decided to change the name back to 'Dead Prez'. This was nothing to do with me. Why has it changed?
    Worse, I've just listened to a song by David Gray, and I've now found it stored under U - for Unknown. It's not 'Unknown', because I've known for all the years that I've owned that file that the song was by David Gray. I haven't had to edit the information for years.
    Is this a bug?
    Is this a new feature of iTunes? Can I turn it off? If not, can Apple/ someone provide me with an explanation as to WHY this has changed?
    Cheers,
    Guy

    In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Store and turn off
    Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
    Share details about your library with Apple
    On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
    Show All Music
    Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data.

  • Preventing iTunes from changing ID3 tags

    When you highlight a song's name in iTunes and then click it again you can rename it. That's something that bothers me because I often misclick and accidentally rename songs I don't want to from the first place – I suppose I'm kind of careless – and I'm looking for a way to prevent me from further editing a song's ID3 tag even when click again its tag. Now I guess, what could help me is pretty much something like the lock that you can find on System Preferences so I can lock the iTunes interface and then unlock it when I actually want to rename a song's ID3 tag – something generally preventing changes also works with me as long as I can still use "Get Info" (cmd-I).
    I don't know if there's a simple setting which gets toggled on and off that simply, but if there isn't I guess someone could recommend a reliable plug-in which can help me in what I'm looking for. I googled it but couldn't find anything related to this subject.
    I'm using 10.5.8 and 10.7 iTunes.
    Thank you.

    I know it's not there in my older iTunes version and I've not heard mention of it in any other version.
    If you find you have accidentally edited a field and you haven't left it yet, press the escape key to undo it.
    Make sure your file names contain the basics.  I format mine to: Artist - Album - TrackNumber TrackName.[extension]  If I lose a tag I can at least get the basic information from the file name and the rest off a web site (and some tags cannot be so easily edited).
    It sounds like a lot of trouble but I imagine if you did as you mention and actually lock the file in Finder that would stop it from being edited.

  • How To Permanently Change ID3 Tags With iTunes

    Okay, so here's the deal. I've seen this question in several places, but I can't find a working answer, so I decided to give it a shot.
    My goal: change ID3 tag info with my song collection in iTunes so that my changes stick permanently.
    Now let me explain. I am picky about what info I want for a song. Anytime I add a song to my collection, I am specific about what info I want to keep and what I want to get rid of. What I keep: Song title, Artist info, album info and genre. I get rid of everything else, like track/disc number, year, comments, and etc.
    To further my point, I'll explain how I go about what brings me to the problem. After I have an album with all songs I want from it, I add the folder to the iTunes library but I don't make any changes yet (I don't have the option checked for iTunes to add copies of the songs to the iTunes folder). Then I select all songs and convert them to 128kbs mp3s with v2.3 ID3 tags. Then I edit all the song info to what I mentioned before in the Get Info box. After a few plays, the track/disc numbers, years, and comments come back, but song title/artist info/album info don't change and the album artwork I added remains. I tried the opposite, editing all the info after adding the songs to the library THEN converting...same problem. I tried a third-party program, MP3tag, before and after converting, both with the same result. I even tried adding something to all comment boxes in iTunes to sync the libraries...that didn't work either. I also tried with that option of adding copies to the library checked and it still didn't work.
    I want a solution to where my changes in iTunes of removing the track/disc numbers, years, and comments from songs will be permanent and not come back.
    Also, this problem has remained through every new version of iTunes released up to the current version as of the time I am typing this.

    There may be a number of things going on. iTunes has a problem updating files with multiple tags, e.g. both id3v1 and id3v2.x. Sometimes it seems it can update one copy of the tag, but then read back data from the other. It may also have problems if file security settings are incorrect, in which case it will appear to make a change, but then reveal the original data next time it accesses the track in some way. WMP may also be involved in magially restoring data that you've deleted. Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.
    As to the issue with comments, are these general things or strings of digits like this?  00000000 00000210 00000770 0000000000103000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000. I've a feeling that patterns of digits such as these are in some way connected to gapless playback and are supposed to be hidden from view, but that may be wild speculation. Again it is even possible that WMP rather than iTunes creates them.
    One way that might work is, having edited tracks to the values you want, use the option Convert id3 tags > None a few times, then Convert id3 tags > v2.3.
    While I'm all for people having things the way they want them I really can't see how your library could be improved by not having track, disc, or year values. Without disc and track numbers albums will play out of sequence. Why not just turn off the columns that hold no interest for you?

  • Change Id3 Tags in itunes match

    How can I change ID3 Tags on my songs in the cloud?
    I changed them on my ITunes (Windows) but they are not synced in the Cloud.

    I just did some tests on my setup: iPhone/iMac (Master iTunes library)/MacBook
    the tags will only sync well from MacBook to iMac!
    if I change a tag on the iMac (which I did change before on my MacBook) then the change goes back to the MacBook, but not if it's a first time edit!
    That process usually takes between 5 and 30 seconds.
    on the iPhone I can't really change much (besides the rating) which seems to get synced properly in both ways...
    Lyrics I couldn't yet get to work to be synced...
    I do have Lyrics on my MacBook (so they seem to be in the cloud) but I cannot get them to be updated/changed on the other device (the other Mac). on my iPhone I don't have lyrics at all

  • ITunes overwriting my ID3 tags

    Hi all,
    iTunes has been playing up lately. Somehow, when I open iTunes, it seems to overwrite cover art (deletes cover art), disk # information (again deletes it), and track info (even if I have X of Y, it deletes the 'Y' data).
    What on earth is going on? It seems like somekind of auto-retrieve ID3 info messing about in the background - if so, how do I turn this off?

    iTunes should not alter your iD3 tags by itself, but whenever you select or play a track, iTunes rereads the tags. This can produce the appearance that iTunes is changing the tags when it is merely reflecting a change that has already happened.
    Do you have any other software on your PC that can automatically change tags?
    For example, Windows Media Player can be set to automatically retrieve information form the internet, that can cause trouble if it is selected in Options.

  • How can I stop iTunes from changing my tags?

    I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, and iTunes 12. When I play a track, iTunes often changes the tags automatically, but not for every track. It's particularly difficult with compilations, where it will take a song and change the album to something I don't even own.
    Now, I have had the computer for a while, and have had iTunes addons before, so it may be a legacy, but I've had the computer so long, I don't remember all of the apps I've had and uninstalled over the years.
    I have followed the directions for cleaning out plugins and extensions from the library folders, but it's still happening.
    Does anyone know of an app that has this functionality, so I can check their forums, or, if there's no there a way to do a clean install of iTunes on a Mac?
    Thanks.

    I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
    Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.

  • ITunes re-writing id3 tags with deleted / edited information

    Help I think I'm going insane. I keep my iTunes music folder on a LaCie 160 gig Rugged drive. iTunes keeps on re-writing id3 tags on certain files with information I have previously deleted or changed. This info auto fills as soon as I play the file again. I'm not using any other application to change tags.
    Also if I reset the music library location and then put it back to the external drive it finds loads of new files without me adding.
    Any idea what is going on here? Totally confused. Ghost in the system! Is it cofusing 2 databases? There's only 1 iTunes library file in the folder.

    There is a setting in iTunes.
    'Automatically download missing album artwork'. In the past that interfered with anything not being complete. Is it switched on?
    The second reason is when you get MP3 files from a PC and the details were added through XP itself, updating it in Winamp would give all kinds of problems, perhaps a similar thing is happening here.
    There is no real solution. The only solution that worked in my past was to clean out the details and enter them again, but NOT through the file manager of XP.

  • Can't change ID3 tags in iTunes 10?

    Ever since the update to 9.2, iTunes seems to have lost the ability to convert ID3 tags.
    Prior to 9.2 (and obviously, 10.x) I would be able to add mp3s to my library, select all of the newly added tracks, then Control click and change all of my ID3 tags to NONE to strip it of any extraneous info, wait for iTunes to rescan everything, and then I'd re-convert my ID3 tags to 2.3.
    Since the update(s), it'll allow you to go through the motions, but the tracks don't actually rescan. I'll try to convert to NONE and nothing happens.
    This is an important function for me because I use iTunes in conjunction with Serato for DJing and sometimes Serato has trouble reading a track if the ID3 tag is an older version.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this merely an oversight by Apple's iTunes team or is there a known reason why this function was removed?
    p.s. -- I have always been under the impression that you cannot change an ID3 tag from say, 2.1 to 2.3, without first converting the ID3 tag to NONE first. If this is no longer the case, can someone please enlighten me?

    A rare but maddening problem, probably limited to older MP3 files,
    Mac/Windows MP3 files that do not play in iTunes but play in QuickTime
    There is a problem with some mp3 files not playing in iTunes
    because of the ID3 tag headers in the files. For Mac OS you
    can fix these files by processing them with XLD (X Lossless Decoder),
    a free download.
    1. Select the Input MP3 files
    2. Set the output format to MP3 Lame in the XLD preferences.
    3. Unless you select a directory for output different from input,
    the output file names will have a number added to the name.
    The selected files are processed on my machine at about 30x or
    about 2 minutes per hour of play time. I was unable to fix these
    files using right click->Get Info in iTunes.
    On my MacBook Pro , trying to run on of these problem MP3
    files, locked up iTunes. Force Quit on iTunes was not enough
    to get iTunes 10.1 to run again. I had to restart the machine.
    I think this is the first time I have ever had to restart my
    machine for a problem with an App. From my reading on the web,
    I can see this problem has existed at least since iTunes 7.x
    On Windows, you may be able to fix this problem using
    MP3TagValidator.
    No need to throw away those bad MP3 files!

  • Upgraded to iTunes 10 and recently changed ID3 Tags reverted...

    Last week I began a process to completely organize my iTunes collection. I was fixing genres, correcting capitalization on song/artist/album titles and deleting unwanted songs and completely wiping them from my hard drive. I had been working on it 3-4 hours a day for at least 6 days. When I did the update, I just now noticed that all that hard work has now just reverted back to the older ID3 tags. Also some of the songs that I know for a fact were completely removed from my iTunes library and hard drive somehow found their way back onto my Mac and into my iTunes library. I'm having to start the process all over again and am extremely annoyed by this. Am I the only one who has experienced this?
    *Note: I know the difference between "Keep File" and "Move to Trash" when removing a song from my library.

    It looks like iTunes 10 has lost the ability to manage/convert ID3 tags. It's no longer on the Advanced menu, despite what the Help menu suggests.

  • Changing id3 tags from iTunes to original file

    Hi! I have been changing a lot of id3 tags to the files through iTunes but it doesn't change it for the original file. Is there anyway to make that work? Thanks!

    If by original you mean another copy of the file left outside the iTunes media folder while iTunes is working with a copy made during import then iTunes has no further interest in the originals.
    If you mean that changes made to metadata in iTunes don't appear to be reflected when the same file is viewed in Windows Explorer or if the file is imported into a new library then the most likely cause of this is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best when there is a single id3v2.3 tag. Select a couple of test files, right-click and use Convert ID3 Tags > None, repeat two or three times, then Convert ID3 Tags > ID3v2.3. Now see if updates are properly carried through. You'll have to reapply any embedded artwork. If it works repeat with other problem files.
    For the future backup your library regularly with this User Tip.

  • ID3 Tags/Album Art

    I'm currently in the process of updating ID3 Tags and Album Art of my library. I plan to remove the iTunes database and import all songs again, hopefully this should pick up all my changes.
    My question is how can I replicate this to my iPod? Do I have to delete from the iPod then add again? Or is there a simpler method?
    Thanks.

    Hiya, my advice is to uncheck the box for syncing album art.
    Sync the iPod.
    Then re-check that box, and sync again.
    This method is also useful if your iPod artwork acts funny from track to track on the same album. It rebuilds the iPod's artwork cache.

  • Can iTunes write corrected ID3 tags to the main files?

    I'm sure this has been posted somewhere already, but I can't find it, so here goes.
    I have changed several hundred ID3 tags by editing the files in iTunes. Titles, artists, album, etc. The problem is, the main files aren't updating. SO if I change an entire album's ID3 info in iTunes, then delete it from iTunbes, then import it again, it's not updated. Is there a way iTunes can transfer whatever information I have changed within the application to the main files? I tried using the "Convert ID3 Tags" inside of iTunes and it didn't work.

    It does for most fields, but it won't change the song title.
    I still don't understand what you mean by "main files" or why you are deleting and re-importing. Sorry, but without more information, I don't have any suggestions. iTunes writes tags just fine for me but I allow iTunes to organize all my music. My iTunes files are my only music files.

  • MP3 song information not retained after iTunes 7.0 - ID3 tags at fault?

    I'm having some strange problems with track information in iTunes. I first noticed it when I tried to copy some mp3's from my Mac to my mobile phone: certain tracks did not retain the song information, like artist, album etc., while others did.
    A similar problem has been discussed in this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3698498
    However, my problem seems to be a little bit more specific.
    If I look at the music in my library in iTunes, all the track information is there. However, for MP3's encoded after 16th October last year, the "Imported With" field, using Get Info, is shown as "Unknown". Before this date, it is shown as "iTunes v7.0". For all MP3's the ID3 version is v2.2.
    I believe that I must have upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1 around this time, since I have a number of Apple Lossless audio files which have also been imported and don't show this problem.
    The main problem is with the file ID3 tag information (I think). If I select one of the problem tracks, find the original file, open it up in Quicktime and "Get Info", no track/album/artist/composer information is displayed. This is NOT true for 1) MP3's encoded before 16th October 2006 and 2) Apple Lossless files encoded at any time.
    In other words, the track information for songs encoded with iTunes 7.0.1 and later is either encoded in a way that no other application can read, OR is only being stored in the iTunes playlist, NOT the file itself. I can see all the track information for these problem files on my iPod, but NOT my mobile phone (where I have to manually copy them over), even if I drag and drop them directly from iTunes.
    I have this problem with Quicktime, my mobile phone music player and RealPlayer, so I'm assuming it's "system wide". It even occurs if I copy a problem file out of my music folder and onto the the Desktop, then manually add the track to iTunes: all the song information has disappeared.
    I have all my music stored on an external hard disk - 160GB Freecom ToughDrive formatted as HFS+. Previously it was stored on an external disk formatted as FAT32, but copying the files over to the new disk didn't change the problem.
    I considered using the "convert ID3 tags" option to see if it would make a difference, but both the good and bad files are listed as using v2.2. I also don't understand enough about them to feel confident converting them to something different - perhaps to v2.3 or v2.4 - just to see if it makes a difference.
    Any information on how to "recover" the missing information (for anything other than iTunes) would be greatly appreciated!
    MacBook Pro 17" 2.16 GHz 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   iTunes 7.1.1

    Okay, some more information as I try and track down the source of the problem.
    By using an id3 tag editing program - ID3 Editor - I was able to view the song information for each track, even though all the other music players I had tried would not show it. If I then chose to modify and update the ID3 information, this would somehow modify the tags in such a way that they become readable in all other programs.
    I tried using the "Convert ID3" tags option in iTunes, just on a whim, but without any success. Saving the song information in ID3 Editor doesn't change the version of the ID3 tag - it's still listed as v2.2 in iTunes - but it DOES make it readable in other programs. I also tried the various text conversion options, again without any success.
    This looks to me like a bug in iTunes. While its possible for me to get around it, in an extremely long winded way, I still can't understand why iTunes would be writing ID3 information that other Apple programs cannot read.
    Any suggestions? Should I be posting this question in a different forum perhaps?
