Modifying field info for songs -

Several old disks and some more obscure disks that i've ripped to my iTunes don't contain some info that automatically uploads, such as the date, track numbers and titles. Many of these fields allow you to single click the field to modify the info but the 'year' and the 'track number' won't allow this. Does anyone know how to access these properties, maybe directly at the file within my Explore?

found it!

Get info for songs after importing?

Is there any way I can get info for songs in my library after I import them? I have a data CD that I would like to import and have iTunes get all of the information for me. Is this possile? Also if not is there anyway to check to make sure it got every songs, or to see what songs it couldn't get info for? I am using Windows.

Are these MP3/AAC files?
They should have the info in the ID3 tags already.
If the songs were RIPped using iTunes, select the Album, then Advanced - Get CD track names.

Can't enter/change info for songs...

I can change the info for some of my songs but not for most of them. Why is this?

Check that the problem files are not read only.
If they are MP3s, there can sometime be problems with tag versions. Try selecting a track and right click on it. Select Convert ID3 tags. Try converting to none. It might be as well to experiment with a copy.
Otherwise check the permissions on your music folder, but if this was a problem I would expect everything to be affected.
Your account needs full control of any music folder.

Modify field description for IN9030/Subtype 04 (additional Details)

Hi,
The field description for IN9030/Subtype 04 (additional Details) need to be modified from "Role" to "Role Title".
Pls guide where the Field Text can be changed.
Tx

One doubt,
do you want to change the subtype text like for IT 0006 we have subtype 1 = Permanent address, 2 = office address etc
or do you want to change the description of the field that describes the subtype.
If it is the second case then you will either have to change the name at the structure level in PM01 or on the screen on your custom infotype using SE51.
Give your program name and screen number.
Go to layout
double click on the text field which you want to change
change the text and save and activate
hope this helps

Is there a fast way to find track info for songs in iTunes?

Hi:
The songs in my library don't have any info in the fields, and now I'm in the process of downloading artwork and adding album names and track numbers to all the songs in my library. I'm just wondering if there's an addon or plug-in available that will do this automatically for me? Or do I need to type in the track numbers one by one?
Thanks in advance!

Actually, I have nearly 1,000 CDs, which I ripped them from. Unfortunately, I got into the habit of deleting the tags when I added the files to my iTunes library ...

Modified start time for songs overlaps on to other songs

If I change the start time of a song in itunes, and I listen to the song on suffle with an ipod touch, other songs that I shuffle start with that same modified start time as the original song.
That is,
Say I have a song, "Great Song" by "Cool dudes"
and another song "Terrible Song" by "Get this off your iPod"
And I set the start time for Great Song to be 0m 42s. If I have my iPod touch on shuffle and this song is picked, it starts at 0:42. If I change the song before this song finishes and Terrible Song is picked, it will also start at 0m 42s, despite me never changing its start time.
How can I fix this?

Hi Alonzo,
In the UK, you currently should be in GMT with Daylight Saving on. You'll need to correct the time on the phone (by moving it back one hour in Settings > Time & date > Time) when you have done this.
After this you'll need go into iSync, select your phone and from the Devices menu select Reset Device to re-populate the phone with the correct data.

Modifying field lenght for an external table via OWB

Hi folks,
After, I would like to thanks everyone that helps to improve the level of quality of this forum with questions and answers!
I am having a problem with flat files and external tables:
I can't specify the field length in the ORACLE_LOADER parameters via OWB, so the driver consider that all my fields are CHAR(255). Concerning the online documentation for Oracle Utilities Part. no. A96652-01 on page 12-21, it's write that the lack of specification about the datatype or length of a field, the driver will assume the fields name and order of the fields defined on the external table fields and they will be CHAR(255). My problem is that we need to use a field bigger than CHAR(255), so I made this external table for example about our problem:
CREATE TABLE "TESTE"
"NOME" VARCHAR2(300),
"SOBRENOME" VARCHAR2(300))
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY TARGET_LOC_SRC_FILES_LOC
ACCESS PARAMETERS (
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
STRING SIZES ARE IN BYTES
NOBADFILE
NODISCARDFILE
NOLOGFILE
FIELDS
TERMINATED BY ';'
NOTRIM
"NOME" ,
"SOBRENOME"
) LOCATION (
TARGET_LOC_SRC_FILES_LOC:'Partners.txt'
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
NOPARALLEL
When we put by hand the field length in this script, it works fine!
Is there a way to put the length of the fields in the FIELDS clause of the SQL*Loader control file using OWB?

Carlos,
Have you tried the following:
- Update the data types in the sampled flat file (i.e. go into the field definitions and edit the length).
- Go into the mapping and inbound reconcile the table (right-mouse click the file operator and select inbound reconcile).
- Regenerate, and review the result.
Thanks,
Mark.

Edit info for songs

When I try to edit info on itunes 7.5, the info is "greyed" and doesn't let me make changes. Any suggestions?

You neeed to be logged in as an adminstrator.
Right click on your iTunes Music folder and slect properties, the the security tab.
You should see a list of users names. Is Your user name on it? If so select it and you should see your permissions. If not, you can add your username.
You need to have full control for your user name.
There is more on setting permissions on the following page, it is for XP, but Vista is similar:

Data base for song info?

Is there a data base or site that has info for song tags? In particular I want the date released for all my songs.
Thanks for any help?

I am in the UK and I have been searching for years for such a site, or for this particular information. Gracenote DB is no help at all for this I'm afraid. Unfortunately, record release dates - especially for older songs, is elusive. I have done the following research :
1. In the UK we are lucky enough to have the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles : this gives the chart entry date for all Top 75 hits going back decades. For 98% of releases this will give an approximate indication (I subtract two weeks to allow for radio play).
2. The music papers always used to list the single releases for the week, but this needs a lot of time and research to uncover.
3. For non-chart records, you could try Googling the record's catalogue number, then keep going forward & back one number at a time until you find a release that charted, then work it out from that.
I have nagged record companies to produce a book of release date information,but their response always is "who'd pay for it?"
I think this is one tag you are going to have to research on your own. Sorry

thanks for your attention,sorry for the bad english

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

7.6.2 stutters on some known good songs then Date Modified field is updated

Hi All,
I've just noticed some very peculiar behavior in my 7.6.2 iTunes library on my Leopard MacBook. While clicking around on some songs in my library (~51,000 songs) directly, iTunes will hesitate (ie stutter) at the beginning of the song and then resume playing it. This does not occur on every song in my library though, and appears to repeat itself say on 80% of my songs, now. Occurs in playlists, as well.
I remembered that by adding album art to an album (a manual cut and paste job) to a selection of files while one is playing...and when that particular file gets updated with the bitmap...that I would hear a similar stutter.
So, I opened a Finder window to view an actual file before I clicked it in iTunes. Sure enough, on a stuttering song, the Date Modified field in iTunes and date/time stamp of the file in Finder get updated with the Current Day time. I have no idea what would cause that file to be changed ! Plus, this does not happen with every song.
I do have numerous Smart Playlists and several AppleScripts, but when this occurs, I'm not actively running any of these.
Anyone have any ideas on this...and I thank you for your help and ideas....

itunes 7.6.2
I had the same annoying problem: iTunes would hesitate at the beginning of a song and then resume playing it. This affected ALL tracks in my 17,000+ library. No quarter.
My fix was to uncheck crossfade playback in preferences. I have never used sound check nor sound enhancer so those boxes remained unchecked.
Worked for me and ALL tracks play now with no stutter.
Hope this helps some.

I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows. This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10. Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

ITunes randomly loses the location info for my songs. How can I stop this and how can I get everything linked back to itunes easily?

ITunes ranodmly loses the location info for my songs. How can I stop this from happening? How can I get all of my song locations linked back to iTunes without individually pointing to the location of each one?

Hi Frantic503,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar.
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Have a great day,
Joe
