Loosing track info when transferring music

I've suddenly started loosing track info when transferring music.
I can take a cd, copy it to My Collection (M4A, Mobile Optimised) and all the info is displayed ok. When I transfer it to my phone (N70) the track data is lost and all music is dumped into the Unknown Artist folder, yet it still shows ok in the phone folder on Music Manager on the PC. Bizarrely, previous tracks that have the correct Artist/Album etc on the phone do not show correctly in the phone folder in Music Manager.
Any clues as to what's going on? I've used Nokia Manager many times before without this problem.

Hi,
Please read the help topics of Music Manager which may help to resolve your issues (Hope So )
To rip a CD to your phone
Connect your phone to the PC.
Open Nokia Music Manager.
Click Options > Settings... and in the Conversion tab, select the desired conversion format and bit rate. The conversion format to be used depends on the phone model you are using. Not all phone models support the M4A conversion format. If you are uncertain about which format is supported by your phone model, it is recommended that you select the AAC format.
Still in Settings, go to the phone tab, and click Browse... to select whether you want to rip the CD to the phone's memory or to a memory card if inserted. The folder can be located in the phone memory, hard disk or a memory card depending on the phone model you are using.
Click OK to close the Settings dialog.
Insert a CD into the CD or DVD drive of your PC.
Go to the CD view and click Options > Get CD Information if available to retrieve information about the CD from the music recognition service (hosted and owned by Gracenote). Using the service requires an Internet connection. If your phone model does not support the music recognition service, you can edit the CD information manually. For more information, see Editing track information.
Highlight one or more tracks you want to rip to your phone.
Click Copy to phone.
Nokia Music Manager converts the tracks according to the settings you defined above in Step 3 and copies the tracks to your phone.
Tip:
In addition to ripping tracks from a CD to your phone, you can copy the same tracks to the My Collection view. To do this, click Options > Settings... and in the General tab, select the When copying tracks to phone, also copy them to My Collection option.
You can set the CD view to open automatically whenever you insert a CD into the CD or DVD drive of the PC. To do this, click Options > Settings... and in the General tab, select the Automatically open disc view when a CD or DVD is inserted to CD/DVD drive option.
If your PC is running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you can open Nokia Music Manager from the Windows AutoPlay dialog when you insert an audio CD into the CD or DVD drive of your PC.

  • Keep track info when burning cd

    When I burn a playlist to a cd (disk format: audio cd) I loose all track info when I play on a different computer. How can I keep the info?

    Just to be clear, CD-TEXT is sort of considered to be part of the Red Book CD specification (an extension of the standard). From Wikipedia:
    CD-TEXT is an extension of the standard "Red Book" Compact Disc specification, which allows text to be associated with each track. On most disks, this space is used to store the track and album titles as well as the performing artist name. The P and Q subchannels are normally used to store the information. The specification was released in September 1996, and backed by Sony. Support for CD Text is common, but not universal. Utilities exist to automatically rip CD-TEXT data, and insert it into CDDB or freedb.
    I would have to think about this for a minute, but off the top of my head, I think iTunes is the only audio software I use that doesn't support CD-TEXT. Reading it is certainly not a difficult thing to implement, so it would be nice if Apple got around to this at some point, since CD-TEXT has been around for 10 years. Incidentally, I recently bought a new CD-RW drive for my PC, so I ripped all my CDs again with EAC. I was shocked to see how many pressed audio CDs I have with CD-TEXT information. Many of them are from the 90's.

  • When transfering music says library cannot be saved not enough access priverlages what do i do

    When transferring music fom one computer to another via cloud i soon get the message i tunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access priverlages for this operation      how can this be avoided

    Double check to see that your "itunes music
    library.itl" (or "iTunes Library.itl") file or the
    folder it resides in (the ‘iTunes’ folder) is not
    read-only.
    Using Windows Explorer, right-click on the file (or
    folder) name, go to Properties.
    If it is read-only, then close iTunes, change it, and
    reopen iTunes.
    i have done that......

    how weird is that?
    oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
    anyway, thank you for all the help.
    to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.

  • Annoying messages when transfering music

    Hello, I have a 512 MB first gen Shuffle. Soon getting an 8GB Nano for Xmas, YAY! Anyway, I have the latest version of iTunes and am running it on Vista Premium. When I plug my Shuffle in iTunes opens and I can put music on my Shuffle. When transfering, Vista pops up a message saying that I should scan my Shuffle with ScanDisk because it detects a problem. I hit "OK" and it says that the volume cannot be found. Then after that, I get an AutoPlay message asking what I want to do with "Shuffle" which I have it named as. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance!

    I hit yes and it finally scanned. That ones gone, now just the AutoPlay message. Any ideas?

  • Itunes 11.1.5.5 automatically updates all sorts of track info when I play tracks

    I have a massive library, and historically itunes has been shaky about the way it orders things when you have inconsistent info across albums (album artist, track number info. year of release). I keep my library to where they only have track name, artist name, album name, and track number, but with this version when I play any track or even right-click a track and hit "get info", it automatically fills in "album artist", album artwork, year of the release, and any other info they can find. I've looked all over the software to try to figure out why, but there doesn't seem to be any option to turn it off.
    So is there either a version that will NOT do this (I haven't tried installing the latest version yet but imagine it would have the same feature and I hate updating itunes), or otherwise is there a way to turn it off?
    Thanks all.

    Now it's actually changing the name of the artist and track names, so now if I'm playing music with the music sorted by the artist it will only play the one song, and then skip to whatever alphabetically comes next to whatever itunes decides the artists name should be. So unbelievably annoying, why in the world would this feature ever be incorporated into software, let alone without an easily available turn off option.

  • When transfering music into itunes, music not showing in itunes app, but songs are in music folder.

    when i transfered many songs from external hard drive into itunes library, the songs do not appear after transfer completes. it appears as if songs are being added to library. when i search through itunes app, songs are missing, when i go to the folder on computer that holds my itunes library songs are there. any help?
    latest version of itunes with windows 7.
    thanks

    Create a smart playlist that would match one of the albums. I suspect you'll find the tracks show up in it...
    My guess is that something has gone wrong with the internal index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should  fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes library folder, then start iTunes again. iTunes should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to clear up any anomalies.

  • ITunes freezing when transferring music

    I recently bought a new computer and tried to transfer my iPod to the new one. I wasn't sure how to move the music from the old computer to the new one, but I eventually did it anyway (I used a huge flashdrive {or whatever it's called} in the end). When I installed iTunes and moved the music into my library, then connected my iPod to the computer, it showed about 80 songs transferred (out of 300-400), then iTunes froze. I was eventually able to quit iTunes, the iPod woke up, and showed that nothing was on the iPod. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the iPod and iTunes, but I'm out of ideas.

    Hi,
    Try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes. Tell me if this works.

  • Junk files when transferring music to my W800i (only on Mac, not on Windws)

    Hi there,
    When ripping CDs using iTunes in Windows to .m4a, I'm able to transfer these .m4a files to my Sony Ericsson W800i phone with no problems, and when browsing the tunes on the Walkman software, the songs come up in order, with the correct titles and am able to play all the files.
    However, I've just bought a new Macbook, and have attempted to do the same thing, ie, rip CDs to .m4a format in iTunes, and then transfer the tunes to my W800i. The files transfer across ok, but when I view the tunes using the Walkman software on the phone, not only do the files themselves show up, but a bunch of non-playable junk files show up as well.
    EG:
    If I transferred U2's "All that you can't leave" album to my phone in Windows, on the Walkman software, the following would show up on the phone screen:
    Beautiful Day
    Stuck in A Moment
    Elevation
    Walk On
    Kite
    In A Little While
    Transferred across using the Macbook:
    Beautiful Day
    ._Beautiful Day.m4a
    Stuck in A Moment
    ._Stuck in A Moment.m4a
    Elevation
    ._Elevation.m4a
    When I enable "Show Hidden Files" using the terminal, these extra "._abc.m4a" files don't appear on either the harddrive of the mac, or the memory stick of the W800i.
    The "._abc.m4a" files don't play, and the Walkman software skips them when playing, however, when playing a 12 track album, the total number of songs shows as 24, and the software will skip from track 1 to 3 to 5, etc.
    When I check out these files using the File Manager on the W800i, the files show up here as well, but when I press the information dialogue, the filesize doesn't show up, nor a length (where for the playable files it would show up 1.8MB, 2:40minutes).
    Does anyone know why these junk files are created when the the files are transferred across using the Mac, and not when using Windows? Any help would be much appreciated.

    I've used Bluetooth in the past to transfer files, and the junk files are not created, only when using USB. And I'd rather put up with the junk files than wait for 2gigs worth of songs to transfer by Bluetooth.
    However, if there is a way of transferring these files without the junk via USB, then that would be extremely helpful.

    This phone is supposed to have 8Gb, how do I find out the available total memory and what is available, currently when I try to transfer a music file from my pc it says it doesn't have enough memory!!
    Can you help.?

    is there not a simpler way of transfering files without using the computer?
    feedback would be fab,
    thanks

  • Authorization error message in iTunes when transferring music to iPod

    This has been driving me nuts. I have a 30GB iPod w/ the color display and a brand new Intel MacBook with the latest version of iTunes (iPod's been updated as well). My previous computer, a Powerbook G4, fell off a counter and died on the spot, so my only back up for all the music I have is what's on my iPod.
    First, I couldn't transfer all of my music from my iPod to the MacBook because of an authorization problem with iTunes. So, I authorized my computer, which still didn't solve the problem. I resorted to using iPodRip which successfully got all the music off the iPod and onto the MacBook. No harm, no foul.
    The problem now is that I can't transfer music from the MacBook to the iPod for the exact same reason: I get the error message saying that some songs are not authorized to play.
    I have tried the following things:
    1) Deauthorizing and re-authorizing my computer on iTunes = No luck. iTunes informs me that I am now authorized and that I have 1 out of 5 authorizations in use, but the songs still won't transfer.
    2) Playing an "unauthorized" song in iTunes. Again, I get a message asking me to enter my account info and then thanking me for authorizing. However, the song won't play in iTunes, nor will it transfer to the iPod.
    3) Restoring my iPod to the factory settings. Not sure why I tried this, but it didn't work and is the reason why I no longer have all my songs on my iPod and am trying so desperately to get them back.
    4) Used iPodRip to try to reverse the process, but again, no dice.
    I have a feeling that the answer to this is stupidly simple and I'm somehow missing some crucial step somewhere. Can someone help me out?
    Intel MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Alright, I think I solved the problem on my own. For what it is worth, restarting the computer seemed to solve all of my issues. After restarting, iTunes accepted my authorization (alerting me that I now have 2 of 5 machines authorized) but my iPod kept disconnecting after syncing. So, I reset the iPod, downloaded iTunes 7 and reinstalled it, and whaddya know- It works! I have all of my music on both my computer and the iPod.
    It was stupidly simple, too.

  • HT4796 how do I keep the same user account and not make a new one when transferring music?

    How do I transfer files using the migration assistant and not create a new user profile? I am transferring from Win 7 to Mountain Lion and now the only way I see my music in Itunes is to flip to the new user account created. I am the only one using my mac and its a bit of a pain switching users to listen to music. Any thoughts?

    Drag the iTunes folder over manually instead of using the Migration Assistant, or drag the other account's home folder to the desktop, authenticate yourself, and move the music into your main account's iTunes library.

  • Computer restarts when transfering music

    Whenever I try to tranfer large amounts of music to my iPod (photo, 30 gig) my computer restarts. It's a new problem that started when I reinstalled my hard drive. Any advice?

    Thanks Trevor,
    I have tried every USB port I have, I also went and downloaded the new drivers as you suggested. Neither helped.
    On three of the USB ports the minute I plug in the Ipod it shuts off the computer and restarts. The computer does give alot of clicking noises (not beeps) from the back of the computer. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my power supply, since the Ipod gets power to charge and such though the computer, do you think that could be a problem.
    My next thing is I will try it on another computer, but that will have to be later today.
