Moving Tracks

I have recently burned loads of cds to itunes in readiness to transfer to ipod nano
When sorting by albums I find some tracks have not been associated with the correct album
How can I move tracks to the correct album>?
Thanks

Right click on a track you want to correct at choose Get Info then the Info tab. You can amend the track information to whatever you choose:

  • Moving tracks up and down...?

    So easy to do in PS AE etc, but a real mystery in PP...
    And is it possible to insert a track?
    Cheers!

    But that is ridiculous. Moving tracks or layers is standard practice in so much other software.
    I assume you're talking about software like After Effects or Photoshop, which contain "layers" and not "tracks" in the way that Premiere Pro, and any other editor for that matter, have them . Perhaps it's a semantic difference, but it's an important one: in Adobe software, a "layer" contains one and only one footage item or graphical element, whereas a "track" can contain one or more footage items or graphical elements. In After Effects, you HAVE to seperate footage items by both time (X-axis) and stacking order (Y-axis)--that's simply how it works. However, with Premiere, you only necessarily have to seperate footage items by time (X-axis)--if you can do everything on one track, so be it.
    If you were able to drag tracks up and down in the stacking order (Y-axis), you may be able to achieve the layering effect you want at a certain point in time in your sequence, but you would also change the stacking order for the entire duration of the sequence. This may be what you want, or what you don't want, but I would submit that most people would never need this kind of functionality. How often does one need to completely rearrange the stacking order of an entire sequence? I know that I never need this; it's only small portions of time where I need to rearrange items on the Y-axis. I just think this capability would be so rarely needed that there is no point adding it; it could potentially cause more trouble than good.
    I'm currently working on something that has (at its peak) five small windows with different clips with lots of edits running with their own effects. At times I've wanted to reprioritise a track (to put it above another) so just draggng a track up would have been a quick way of doing it.
    You might consider nesting each track (or track segment) in its own sequence, so at least you're only dragging one element up and down, instead of multiple small clips. Just add one empty track to serve as a temporary landing zone, that you can move an individual nest into, and then continue to reshuffle until you get the order you want. I realize this isn't what you really want, but it's the best workaround I can think of.
    How disappointing - and a shame the project is too long for AE!
    Why is it too long for AE? After Effects has something like a 3 or 4-hour limit to a comp, which I imagine would be pretty difficult for most people to exceed. It would be a bit of a pain to manage, I suppose, but you could do it.
    Alternately, if you've got the suite and therefore Dynamic Link, just select the clips in the section of timeline you're trying to work with, and select Replace with After Effects Composition. That chunk of timeline will be sent to AE and the clips will be stacked as individual layers in the same order they're in in the PPro sequence. From there, you can organize and reorganize things to your heart's content, and that will be reflected in your PPro sequence. You may want to consider creating nested sequences in PPro first, because those will be recreated in your AE comp as nested precomps. Might make layer management a bit more friendly.

  • Automate moving tracks through JDI's CMS

    I would like to automate moving tracks through the JDI CMS (Change Mangement Service Transport Studio.)  Does anyone know if there is any documentation available to set this up?

    Hi Tracey,
    yes there is a possibility and I will hopefully write a blog about it soon.
    But here is the short version:
    Try the cmstool which is a commandline tool for the CMS. It is found in the eclipse/tools directory of your SAP NW Studio IDE and it comes with a readme how to use it.
    With the tool you can import to any queue, assemble, approve etc. I use it in my nightly build scripts. (I use SP14 but it is still a bit buggy)

  • Moving tracks onto a new computer.

    I just purchased meself a new desktop computer to replace my laptop which is slowly dieing a death, but all my tracks are on my laptop and I'm unsure how to go about transferring them over, without having to reburn all my old cds.
    When I plug my ipod into my new pc obviously it brings up the track listings on the library, but is there anyway of being able to make the tracks permanantly move into the library on the new pc?
    any help would be much appreciated

    There are a few things you could do, from networking the two computers, using an external hard drive or even using your iPod to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
    If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
    You can also copy the songs directly from the iPod, though moving the iTunes folder is the best way to maintain all of your settings, ratings etc. There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Moving Tracks in GarageBand on Computer to iPad GarageBand

    I have been doing some chanting lately. One of my problems was breaking the music into tracks. I used GarageBand on the computer and accomplished what I wanted.
    Then I began to look at moving it to GarageBand in the iPad. I read a lot of discussions and they all seem to complicated for me or I didn't understand what they were doing.
    I had 2 issues one moving to iPad and that it was tracks not complete songs. All the tracks start in the same location 1.
    In case this helps anyone else this is what I did.
    I muted all but one track. Sent that track to iTunes as part of playlist with the appropiate name. I used the album name to id the track.
    After all the tracks have been sent to iTunes I used the command i for each track in iTunes to change the name to what I wanted.
    Using the control key I found where the tracks were located in the finder..
    In iTunes I went to the iPad apps found Garage Band and dragged each track into the app file list.
    Easy for me to do and not complicated.

  • Moving tracks around when loading 3rd gen shuffle

    Until very recently I've only used a first generation shuffle, but am now trying to figure out how to use the 3rd gen so that I get the same kind of enjoyment, but with more memory - which is the idea, right?! I have issues with the earphone remote set-up but what I really want to know is how I can move tracks around in the shuffle pane which lists the tracks I've put on there. This was really easy on my 1st gen shuffle, you could just drag and drop tracks into the order you wanted them after loading them. But this seems impossible on the 3rd gen. Say for example I load a playlist and a couple of albums, and then I want to change the order they appear in the list onscreen without having to delete them and reload the shuffle. How do I do that? I often like to keep the same content on the shuffle for long periods of time, but while charging it move some of the content around. This is how I was used to using my 1st gen shuffle and it seems particularly important now that I have to deal with the crappy remote - getting to particular tracks while actually listening is irritating because of all the stoopid clicking you have to do So what I really need is to know how I can reorganise the content that's already on there into a different order before I unplug and play. Very annoyingly, at the moment the only way to do this seems to be to delete all content every time I want to reorganise the order of tracks.
    Please help!! Thanks

    Linda,
    No I just use one earbud in my ear. I put the earbud in my right ear--away from the window side and it is also the one with the in-line controls, so that works great. I don't put it on very loud either.
    If I am not listening to a podcast and just want to hear music I sometimes will plug it into a line-in cable, but then I don't have a choice on what I am listening to. It's not a real problem because I like all the songs I have on it anyway. I can still adjust the volume on the car stereo, so that is the way I do it.
    I am watching closely for any accessories that might allow a headphone splitter to work, but nothing so far. I am sure we will see some useful additions in the near future. And by the way, the earbuds that came with it work great in my ears--never fall out and are comfortable to me.

  • Joining and moving tracks in Final Cut Express

    Hi,
    I have a project where I am using up to four videos/photo images on the screen at one time. Obviously much of the problem is in the alignment of images as they do differ in size.
    The biggest problem is that I have cut the main piece of the video into clips with gaps.
    When I use garageband for podcasting there is an option to join clips together to form one track. Even if there are gaps inbetween clips. Does anyone know if this is possible in Final Cut Express? Also as I have problems in aligning overlays. Does anyone know how you can move a track in its above another in terms of it’s priority on the screen. ie. move v5 above v4 become v3. If I could do the former then this would merely be a case of copying and pasting but all my clips are separated in the tracks so it would help to be able to move the tracks.
    This may be staring me in the face but I guess these things are always easy when you know them.

    Thankyou both for the reply. I’l be honest and say that I was an imovie user who has picked up FCE over the last fortnight to do this project. If I did it again I’d prepare it totally different. I have nine tracks and each of them contains clips, separated by gaps and linked to audio. As there are overlays the gaps are important as I have the canvas screen split into four (each showing a different video or image. It’s all a bit tricky now but I really thought I’d be able to join up the clips as you can in imovie and garageband. I also expected to be able to move a track above another track as you can rearrange tracks in garageband even though it solves no real purpose. As track v1 shows above track v2 in the canvas it means I have a lot of fine editing to align the footage. If I did it all again I would prioritise what tracks will be most important before starting the project.
    It’s been a fun but time consuming learning curve. If you know the limitations of software you can work around them whilst planning but now it would be a case of doing much of it again.

  • Moving Tracks Up Or Down?

    Is it possible to move a track up or down? I have a video with many tracks and I've been using the fact that the top-most track has precedence. Now I want to make a track lower on the list the top-most. Is it possible to move it to the top or does one have to create a new track and move all the clips up there?
    TIA,
    ---JC

    JC,
    Is there a way to see the 'real' track number along side the track -name-? I rename my tracks 'Narrator', 'Wideshot', etc. but then when adding new tracks, the tracks are referred to by their -number-. I wish I could see -both- side by side so when I add a track I know where it's going without having to count the track #s.
    Not that I am aware of. I also rename all of my Tracks, especially my Audio Tracks. You might want to rethink your naming convention, and say do "1 Camera 01," etc. That would get your number out front, so you do not have to expand the Track header to see it all. I do similar with my Audio Tracks, as I find them more difficult to keep a handle on. For me, it's AV Audio 01, SFX Mono 01, SFX Mono 02, SFX Stereo 01, Music Front 01, etc.
    Video Tracks are often left with just the PrPro Track numbers, until I get to Track Matte, or Lower Third 01 Titles.
    Just remember that the Track numbers in PrPro go up from the bottom for Video Tracks and down from the top for Audio Tracks. When you do go to Add Tracks, look at the drop-down menu for positions relative to the targeted Track.
    Good luck, and sorry that there's now a really easy way to do much of this.

  • Moving Tracks From One Session To Another

    I have a two DVD project that has one session for each. I wanted to know if there is a way to take a menu and track from one session to the other without having to build the track and menu buttons again. Somewhat like importing session data in pro tools if that helps. Thanks.

    You can export the descriptions of the items then import them into the project you would like to bring them into. May have to relink items, but alot of it will be bought it.

  • Garageband moving tracks problem

    I am trying to drag and drop my track to an earlier part of the song. Specifically, if I drag and drop an MP3 file, it transfers, but when I move the track to the first measure where I want it, it starts at the second measure. It continues to do this no matter where I drop it unless it is after the second measure.

    Make a copy of the project with the track and delete all tracks from the copy but the one you want to use in other project.
    Share this project with a media browser preview.   In GarageBand 10: from the main menu bar "Share > Media Browser". Then your track will appear in the GarageBand section of the Media Browser, so you can easily add it to new projects by dragging it from the Media Browser to a track.

  • Moving Track 1/16th of a bar?

    I split 1/16th off of a track and would like to merge it with another track. I can only move the track one full beat or 4/16ths. If I merge the two with the space in between the two tracks it keeps the 1/16th as dead space in the middle. Is there a way to move a track only 1/16th?

    Select a 16th grid in the upper right corner of the timeline, magnify your view so you see what you're doing, keep snap to grid turned on, and move your regions in 16th steps.

  • Help please - moving tracks within iTunes

    I've imported some audio books into my iTunes library but it's gone into the Music folder instead of Audio Books folder. Why can't I drag them from one folder to the other?
    Thanks

    The library categories (Music, TV Shows, Movies, Audiobooks) are governed by the tag or format of the files. All video is considered "movie" unless a different choice is made on the +Get Info > Video Kind+ tab. All audio is "music" unless the file format is MPEG-4 audiobook (.m4b). The good news is you can make any AAC file into an audiobook by changing the ".m4a" extension to ".m4b." You do this directly in Windows Explorer, the same way you would rename any file.
    If your files are MP3 format and you don't want to convert them to AAC, at least you can tick "Remember playback position" in the tags so your place in them will be remembered as they would for an audiobook. Then you might want to create a playlist for these books so you can find them easily on the iPod.

  • ITunes Fix for Manually Moving Music and other Media

    Intro
    Any iTunes 7.x user who manages their own music library outside of the "iTunes Music" folder might be able to tell you that iTunes DOES NOT respond well after manually moving tracks from one place to another on their computer systems. In fact, any file you move becomes immediately unplayable in iTunes. And, if you're anything like I am, losing several years worth of song rating metadata and playlists is not a good incentive for change. However, one thing others might not be able to tell you is that there's an easy workaround for the problem and you get to keep your playlists, ratings and other info. Read on to learn about the workaround.
    About the Workaround
    The workaround is a simple hack I devised after recently transferring a good portion of my music library between hard disks and running into problems with iTunes. The fix steps provided below are intended to circumvent the problems with iTunes and give users the freedom to move songs and other media files on their computers while maintaining the integrity of both the ratings and the playlists. Meaning you won't need to manually update the song locations in iTunes one-at-a-time, which, at version 7.02 is the only way to accomplish this task using the program.
    Please be aware that not all information is retained using this workaround. What will be lost are the following: the "Recently Added", "Recently Played" and "Top 25 Most Played" iTunes Smart Playlists; any media file play counts; last played information; and possibly some other data used only internally by iTunes.
    So, if you're comfortable parting with some metadata while keeping your cherished song ratings and playlists intact during file relocation, read on to learn how to use the workaround.
    Workaround Steps
    The following instructions walk step-by-step through the process of this workaround.
    Note: All backslashes used in file paths have been converted to forward slashes so that they will adhere with MySpace XSS security validation checks. These altered paths can still be copy/paste into Windows Vista's Explorer program once the Username is changed to the User Account where the iTunes files reside.
    Preparing for the Move
    Before you move your files, do the following:
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Create a backup copy of the following files:
    iTunes Library XML (iTunes Music Library.xml)
    Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl)
    Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    Moving Your Files
    This part should be self explanatory, but while you do it make sure to note the following two things:
    1. The path where the files were previously stored (e.g. D:/Music).
    2. The path where the files will end up (e.g. E:/Music).
    Execute the Fix
    After your files are moved, complete the following steps to implement the fix.
    Note: Do not open iTunes during this process.
    Hack the iTunes Library XML
    Once the files are moved the Library XML file locations will be out of sync. Follow the steps below to update them so that they now reference the correct file locations.
    1. Open the iTunes Library XML with a Text Editor with a Find/Replace function.
    Note: Vista users can find the Library XML at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    Tip: Do not try to do this with Dreamweaver if your Library XML is greater than 10MB.
    2. Perform a Find/Replace using the following inputs:
    Find: Path from Step 1 of Moving Your Files
    Replace: Path from Step 2 of Moving Your Files
    3. Confirm your results, and then save and close the Library XML.
    Delete the iTunes Music Database
    Hacking the iTunes Library isn't enough to fool iTunes. Like the Library XML, the Music Database also holds the file locations of all of the media stored within the program. And it's smart enough to wipe out the Library XML hack if iTunes is opened before completing this step.
    Ensure you have backed up the iTunes Music Database (iTunes Library.itl) and delete the file.
    Note: Vista users can find the Music Database at C:/Users/Username/Music/iTunes
    Back in iTunes
    Once the fix is in place you can now open iTunes again. You will notice that all of your playlists, music and other items have vanished. In order to recover them all (with the exception of the Smart Playlists mentioned in the About the Workaround section above) we'll need to import the hacked Library XML file back into iTunes.
    1. Open iTunes and press CtrlShiftO or go to File > Import…
    2. Navigate to and Open your modified Library XML (as pictured below).
    3. iTunes will then begin importing the contents of the XML file (as pictured below).
    Note: This process may take a while, depending on the size if your library.
    Wrapping Up
    Once the import process is complete iTunes will look almost exactly the way you left it, with the exception that some playlists have been duplicated and the number of songs may be a hair off. To fix this problem delete any duplicate playlists in the "Library" panel in iTunes. You can now test out the changes by selecting an item moved earlier and testing it out. All that's left from there is to let iTunes perform any automated analysis it needs to do and rock on.
      Other OS  

    Holy Smokes:
    I appreciate your detailed workaround post. My question is this: I use iTunes to keep everything organized (though I'm well aware of the shortcomings...) and can use the simple solution that Chris from CA posted, but I don't have room to consolidate everything. My read on consolidating is that you copy from wherever you have your music located (and right now my music is outside of the MyMusic/iTunes folder, as that backs up to my work server) and so you have to have enough room for all of your music to be copied (and then you delete it from its prior location). That's how Apple describes it in, e.g., http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748. I ain't go that kind of room. Is there any way to make the move to a completely different PC by following the simple option? From the posting I just linked it sounds like you MUST consolidate whether you use you iPod to move things or use an external drive.
    Of course, I can use your workaround, but I thought I'd ask first. Many thanks.

  • How to delete the tracks with exclamation marks?

    I have just moved about 10 gigabytes of music I don't listen to off my hard disk to an external hard drive. This was to declutter my hard drive and get me down to about 50% free. Itunes now has all the moved tracks still listed with exclamation marks next to them all now. I want rid of these songs from my Itunes view. How can I get rid of these moved tracks now without manually deleting the batches. Annoying that exclamation mark field is not sortable or would be easy to mass delete.
    Anyone got a neat solution out there?
    Thanks in advance.
    Lorne

    Yes, but now you have lost all your regular playlists, ratings, play counts, last played dates, non-embedded artwork etc.
    Hope you don't miss them. If you do it might be possible to restore an earlier version of your library file and then bring it up-to-date with the free scripts at Doug's site.
    An all iTunes, no loss of data approach would have been as follows:
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Command-A to select them and Option-Delete to remove them. You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.
    I normally recommend the scripts as being an easier way to do things that you may want to do again.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 (25) & ML 10.8.1--moving music in playlist stuttering

    Good Morning,
    I'm running Mountain Lion on 7 different machines. Our workhorses are our iMacs...2--2011 core i5 (2.7GHz/12GB RAM/1TB HDD) and 2--2010, I believe core i3 (3.2GHz/12GB RAM/1TB HDD). As well, we have 2 17" MBPs (2011 Core i7 2.5GHz/8GB RAM) and a 2012 15" Retina MBP.
    All of them, EVERY single one of them is stuttering while moving tracks within playlists.  If my playlist is longer than the actual 'Windowed' area of iTunes...and I attempt to move the track 'up' the list---it's not smooth any more (as it was in Lion, SL, Leopard, et al)....in the past OS'es...if you click, hold and move a track 'up' the playlist....got it near the top, it would start smoothly 'moving' the list up while you looked for your drop zone:)  Hope this makes sense, because it's really, REALLY annoying. We use these computers for our mobile entertainment business. We've done 112 weddings so far this summer with another couple dozen to go before the end of October.  We're very, very busy---and these iMacs are incredibly convenient for holding our entire 'audio' library.  With over 20,000 sound EFX, drops, beds, bumpers---well over 55,000 actual songs (plenty of redundancy with extra mixes for specific tracks, etc)....the ability (when I purchased them) to have a TB installed vs the choices on the laptops...as well as the size (for reading), wireless mice and keyboard...they look very professional and work well with Serato and Traktor, our sources of choice.
    However, playing background/cocktail/dinner music---nothing works better than iTunes. This issue has never been a problem before. Now it's nearly impossible to move a track within a playlist unless your playlist is only a 'window' long---depending on the resolution and size you've got your iTunes window, this can be anywhere from 30-50 songs (that are visible).  For now, as we've got plenty of playlists that are 100-300 songs in length. I'm now just moving a track 30 spots up, scrolling the playlist back up another 30/40 spots...moving the track to the top....scrolling up, moving track, yada yada. Or copy/paste has actually become my go to solution---for now. However, this, obviously...adds redundant tracks to the playlist (unless I delete tune after copying). It's truly a PITA...and it's bizarre I've not heard or read anyone else complaining of this issue.
    I probably shouldn't have upgraded all my machines to ML right off the bat---but I had NO problems with Lion. Loved it! The gestures are awesome...the Track Pad has become my best friend---and I didn't read any compatiblity issues with any of the hardware we use.  Still---to this point, I've had no other 'challenges' with Mountain Lion on any of my machines.
    I figure---since this behavior is evident on ALL my machines, which are relatively recent builds hardware-wise...ALL with plenty of RAM for these applications, it must be a system-wide behavior. I also kinda hoped it would be silently 'fixed' with today's maintenance update....Not a chance. Behavior is still exactly the same (after updating 3 of the iMacs and two of the MBPs)...so it hasn't been addressed. I've not yet filed a 'ticket' with Apple, haven't called the help desk---never have. In fact, I think this is the first challenge I've not been able to find myself a workaround for...so I've rarely a reason to visit a genius, call Apple, or utilize this board.
    Is anyone else in front of an iTunes library with playlists that may have more than 60 or 70 tracks in it that would be willing to give it a go? Again...simply moving a track up in the playlist from the bottom to the top (the playlist MUST be longer than what is visible in the screen).
    Second---I know this is getting WAY too long...but the BIG issue here is if you try to move a song that is currently playing 'up the playlist'...it actually freezes iTunes for several seconds---maybe even 8 or 10 seconds!!! It still continues to play the song, without any glitches....but it is absolutely impossible move a 'playing' track up or down the playlist without really F'ing up the computer for a brief period of time!!! This is a real pain and I'm not sure what the correct way to tell Apple about it would be. Do they monitor this board? Is there a specific place to address this on apple.com
    Thanks everyone for reading this diatribe!! I know it got a bit long--Sorry!
    Jeremy

    Is there anyone that can verify they're having this same issue? I called Apple to report the 'glitch' but I'm looking for any others with the same challenge and whether or not you've found a work around.
    Again--I rely heavily on iTunes for business. We use it constantly for live performances...both on it's own and it's integration with Traktor, Serato and DJay
    Thanks Everyone!
    Jeremy

Maybe you are looking for
