LG Cosmos 2 MP3 player describes certain MP3 artists or albums as "NONE"

I just upgraded to an LG Cosmos 2 mostly for its MP3 player capabilities, and now when I load a test directory of MP3s onto my 32gb microSDHC card, the artists or albums of certain mp3s are both displayed through the phone as "NONE."
In Windows 7 64, I selected all of the MP3s, selected properties, and under details, put in the artist's name, and they all appear fine in Windows, but some are still described as "NONE" in the phone. I also group selected them by album, manually entered the name, and some are fine, but some are still described as "NONE" in the phone. I've had to rename the main MP3 directory they're in to get the phone to re-load the files' information (MP3 to MP3x for example), but it's still no use.
Anyone experienced/solved this problem? I have about 5,000 MP3s I was expecting to simply load onto this phone, but if it's this big of a pain, I might as well just send this phone back.

There are a bunch of programs that will identify the tag version. But out of the tag programs that I have, I could identify just three that will identify tag version and also the encoding used (ISO-8859 or Unicode -- some tag programs use the terms ANSI or ASCII instead of ISO or ISO-8859).
Using any of these will also give you the opportunity to double-check for the presence of the album and artist info in those particular files giving you a hard time.

The second two are completely free, while dbpoweramp is free for the first thirty days; after the first thirty days, some of dbpoweramp's features are still free while certain features such as mp3 encoding and tag editing require purchasing it.
dbpoweramp -- In Windows when you hover the mouse pointer above a music file name or when you right click a file name to view the properties then dbpoweramp will give you the tag information and type of tag encoding
mp3infp -- In Windows when you right click a music file name to view the properties there will now be several additional tabs for tag information and type of tag encoding
Tagscanner -- While in Tagscanner after you click the name of a music file, move the sliding bar at the bottom of the screen to display a summary of information about that music file. To learn the type of tag encoding, at the top left corner of the screen click "TAG EDITOR" and then look at the information in the lower right corner of the screen in the far right column

Burning MP3 CD by 'Album by Year'

I can burn an MP3 CD with folders for each album. However, the album/folder order is alphabetical. I tried burning by 'Album by Year' a new feature in iTunes 7 however it does not create the folders necessary for easy navigation on a car MP3 player.
Any ideas?

Hi
All my tracks are MP3.
In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column. If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

How do I save to mixdown in mono, 0 db reduction in volume, in 64 bps mp3? Sounds simple, but none of the support staff has been able to do it.

How do I save to mixdown in mono, 0 db reduction in volume, (Same volume level as in the files-no -3db reduction) in 64 bps mp3? Sounds simple, but none of the support staff has been able to do it.

Several solutions to this problem. I believe we may have discussed this over the support e-mail, but I'll share it again here so that it can help others as well.
First, as I discussed in the e-mail, Audition defaults to support Pan Law which prevents content mixed to the center of a Stereo field from being louder than the same content panned far left or right. This provides a -3dB drop to center content by default, but you can disable this completely by entering Preferences > Multitrack and setting the Default Panning Mode to Left/Right Cut (Logarithmic)
Now, when you create a new Multitrack session, there is an option to specify the Master channelization. Here, you can select Mono, Stereo, or 5.1 and this will be the default channelization mode for a basic mixdown operation regardless of your clip content, though can be overridden when exporting a session mixdown.
Next, if you just choose the menu item Multitrack > Mixdown Session to New File... it will always default to the Master channelization. This command does not write to disk, it is a preview or pre-processing step. If you wish to export your multitrack session mixdown directly to disk, in your desired channelization and file format, please use the command File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Entire Session... You will then have the complete set of output options, including the option to output at any channelization you like and the format you prefer.
Here, I've disabled the default 5.1 output and selected a Mono mixdown instead.
I've now changed the file format settings as well to MP3, 64K.
With most of these configuration details, you should only need to set them once and these will remain the defaults for any subsequent projects, unless modified again. The Export Multitrack Mixdown dialog will reset the Mixdown options to match the default output, and the MP3 settings may update to reflect the kBps setting nearest your session sample rate.

Music player app - locking display orientation and album info

Is there anyway to lock the ipod touch music player app in a particular orientation? Alternately, can the music player be set to stay in album info mode when the ipod changes orientation?
I listen to my ipod touch when riding my bicycle. I use the DLO ActionWrap attached to my forearm, primarily in landscape orientation. However, I frequently want to see how long the current song is or how many songs are left to play on the album and, as I move my arm and change the orientation of the ipod, the ipod will exit info mode each time I change orientation. It would be nice to be able to lock the ipod music player app in landscape mode or lock it in a mode that it will stay in info mode as I change orientation of the ipod.
If you just can't do this, if anyone at Apple reads this, could you please make this a feature?

I have downloaded Audiograbber to my laptop. Converted all my music to Mp3 then transferred it all to my PlayBook via Wifi. You get the album, artists, selections etc. Works great for me. Then on the PlayBook you can select what you want to put on the Playlist.

LG Cosmos 2 - MP3 player artwork question

Does anyone know of a way to mass-export album artwork from iTunes into each album's respective directory? I figured out that when "the album's title.jpg" is placed in its corresponding directory, it will show up in the phone as the cover art, but I don't want to have to download and save each and every album cover.

If you have the time, could you share your impressions of the job it did ? I hadn't heard of it; when I spent a few minutes looking it up, I saw that it's an add-on to iTunes ? I didn't realize that iTunes supported add-ons -- does iTunes make it easy to install an add-on ?
A free tool that I used for album artwork was MediaMonkey, however I used it to download one album cover at a time so I can't speak about whether it supports embedding album artwork for a batch of albums. MediaMonkey has an arrangement with amazon -- so what I thought was neat is that after MediaMonkey detected the album from the music tags, it then showed me album artwork from the various international amazon.com sites for that particular album.

Flash Player disallows certain parts of games, videos, etc. to be clicked on.

My Flash Player, which is updated to date, has ran into some problems recently. Ever since I downloaded Windows 8: Consumer Preview, certain aspects of videos and games I play or watch are not responsive to my clicks. I have tried using the tab-and-enter method as well; this works with Gmail, but no other site. Many times, this prevents me from playing a video or a game. Any suggestions will be considered helpful, as I'm rather irritated that one of my most-used applications is malfunctioning.

Important: If you decide to go back to your previous operating system, you'll need to reinstall it from the recovery or installation media that came with your PC, which is typically DVD media. If you don’t have recovery media, you might be able to create it from a recovery partition on your PC using software provided by your PC manufacturer. Check the support section of your PC manufacturer’s website for more information. After you install Windows 8, you won’t be able to use the recovery partition on your PC to go back to your previous version of Windows.

Windows Media Player has somehow made itself the dealt video player for certain file types?

Title should say default
I have Windows 7 installed in a virtual machine but I didn't think Windows Media Player would barge it's way onto my Mac and start making itself the default player for files here too -.- I even right clicked on the file, click open with.. chose vlc and checked the change all box. This worked and now when I double click the file it will open with vlc, but when I right click it, it still says that Windows Media Player is still the default player for this file type.

Don't know much about WMPlayer, but if FCE has multiple audio tracks a "MIX Down Audio" should be done just prior to the export.

I can't delete certain photos in my album with the trash button.

I can't delete some photos in my album by using the trash button. How do I delete these pictures?

Sycned my iPad to iTunes and still unable to delete certain photos? Not sure why but trash button does not work on these photos and works fine on others.

When I open iTunes on my new computer using the .itl file, and using the same external drive holding the songs, all of the songs I added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links, while none of the songs have broken links on the old computer.

I want to open the iTunes library on my new laptop with all the playlists and stuff I built on the old computer. I have all my music on an external drive. I have copied the .itl file from the old computer and opened it on the laptop, and it has all the playlists, but all of the songs that were added to iTunes up to a certain date have broken links. What am I doing wrong?

Moving library files around while leaving the data in the same place usually presents no problems. Moving the data around independently from the library usually breaks things. With Windows machines all you should need to do is make sure that the same drive letter is being used on the new system as with the old. If that is not possible you need to get your library into a portable layout before moving it between systems.
Typical layout of iTunes folders:
When the media folder is inside the main iTunes folder as shown above then the library is portable. Typically with a split library the iTunes Music or iTunes Media folder (everything inside the red outline) is moved to a different drive by choosing a new locaton for it and then consolidating.
To make the library portable again you need to copy the library files and album artwork folder into the parent folder of the media folder so that the nested relationship is recreated. (BTW If your media isn't already inside your designated media folder then you will also need to consolidate the files that are outside of it, before you copy the library files.) You can then use the hold-down-shift-when-starting-iTunes method to open the library file in that parent folder. Once the library has been opened, tested and closed you are most of the way there.
The iTunes window inherits its title from the folder holding the library files so, unless you created a folder called iTunes to hold the media folder, iTunes may now have an unexpected title when you run it. The parent folder can be renamed as iTunes, and the library opened again. Alternatively, if the parent folder is at the root of the drive, or has other data which you wish to leave in place, you can create a new top level folder called iTunes and move the library files, album artwork and media folders into it before opening and testing the library again.
If the library doesn't work after any step simply reverse it by undoing a move or rename or opening the previous set iTunes Library.itl file.
If all has gone well then the library is now portable. Once you've migrated the data to a new system you can copy the library files back to their usual internal location if you find that having them on the external drive affects performance...

Can't drag certain images into other albums

Hi, forgive me if this has been covered here, but I couldn't find it in search.
I cannot copy certain image versions to other albums within the same project for some reason. I have a couple hundred shots in this project, and most drag/copy into the album fine, but there is at least one that does not, no matter what I do. I've tried unstacking it from it's stack, etc. -- still won't copy.
It does act as if it's copying though -- the green plus sign appears over the album - but it never appears in that album.
Suggestions?

Make sure you are not filtering what the browser is showing in that album. Check that the searching box doesn't have anything written on it. By default should say 'Unrated or better'. Also if those versions you are copying are marked as rejects you'll need to select in the searching box 'Show all"

Search does not find certain songs/artists

Hello everybody,
(iTunes 11.0.1 / 10.8.2).
When I search for certain artist, iTunes search will not show them. Yesterday I searched for "Whitney" and nothing was found. But I have 12 songs from Whitney Houston. There are many other artist that will not be found. A lot of the albums are compilations.

Spotlight does have this problem, intermittently. A potential fix is possible by going to Settings > General > Spotlight Search. Uncheck all options, and perform a hard reset on the device (holding down home and power buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo). Once it starts back up, go back to Spotlight Search, and turn everything (or the certain ones you want) back on. Then perform another hard reset.
If that doesn't work, try Reset All Settings in Settings > General > Reset.

Certain songs on purchased album will not authorise

I recently downloaded 2 albums, but on both albums there are certain tracks iTunes says I need to authorise before I can play, yet when I do this it says I have already done this (and other songs on the same albums play fine).
So far I have deleted the SC folder, and tried to de-authorise and then re-authorise the computer.
Anyone any idea on what else I can try to solve this?

Hello there, igaz.
The following Knowledge Base article goes over a few different reasons why iTunes would prompt for authorization:

How do i delete certain photos from an album on my ipad?

how do i delete photos from my ipad?

The only photos you can delete from the iPad directly are the photos in your Camera Roll. To do that, select the photo and tap Delete.
Other photos, for example in an album or in Photostream, cannot be deleted directly from the iPad. For photo albums, you have to delete the photos from your computer. For Photostream, you cannot delete photos individually... you have to delete the entire stream.
