MP3 tags work in iTunes 11 but not in Windows 7 - Fixed

I tagged a bunch of MP3 downloads in iTunes 11, but the artist/track/album and other information did not show up in Windows 7 file information or in Windows Media Player.
The fix that worked for me was to convert to MP3 tags to ID3 tags to version 1.0.
Steps:
-Open iTunes
-Find the songs you want to convert in the Songs view
-Right click the songs
-Choose Convert ID3 Tags...
-Check the box for ID3tag version
-Choose v1.0
-Click OK
Your mileage may vary, of course, but this worked for me and all of the embedded info was properly updated. Note that I did not have album art and I don't know if rolling back the version will affect that. Good luck.

Thanks turingtest2.
I tried your None>2.3 path and it appears to be a superior method to my original suggestion.
I hadn't noticed, but the track #s did not come through to Windows using my original method. They come through when converting to None then to 2.3. Your method, as you note, also provides the advantage of longer field lenghts. I am sure there are other advantages to 2.3 over 1, if  nothing other than it's closest to the most up to date standard.
I tried converting to 2.4, but none of the data comes through to Windows.
Here is a revised set of steps. Note that this method will clear artwork.
-Open iTunes
-Find the songs you want to convert in the Songs view
-Right click the songs
-Choose Convert ID3 Tags...
-Check the box for ID3tag version
-Choose None
-Click OK
-Choose Convert ID3 Tags... again
-Check the box for ID3tag version
-Choose v2.3
-Click OK
Last comment: There may be better solutions using other software such as id3tagit, but the solution above works right from iTunes.

  • Gapless works in Itunes but not Ipod

    Hi guys
    I'm trying to get gapless working on my new Ipod (80 gig version) - it's fully up to date with the latest firmware, and the gapless works in Itunes but doesn't work on the Ipod. There is still a small gap between songs (though it's MUCH better than my old 20gig 4th gen Ipod). Is there something I'm not doing right?

    Have you marked the tracks as 'Gapless' in iTunes?
    You need to 'Get Info' on the tracks you want to play as gapless tracks and check off the "Gapless..." option.

  • Mp3 software worked for iBook but not MacBook

    My MP3 (MPIO FL100) player's software uploads onto my macbook, but does not show up in iTunes. I bought it in 2003 and it worked on my old iBook. Does anyone know how I can get a non-ipod mp3 player to work on my intel -mac?

    Hi All,
    We're in the process of moving from Unified Messaging to Cisco Unity. In the past, I had successfully applied the following Retention Policy Tag which worked with UM:
    New-RetentionPolicyTag "Voice Mail 60 Day Retention" -Type All -MessageClass voicemail -Comment "Untagged messages removed after 60 days." -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 60 -RetentionAction DeleteAndAllowRecovery
    Now, with Cisco Unity, I see that the voicemails show "Expires: Never."
    The Cisco voicemails differ from UM in that instead of being *.mp3 files, they are *.wav.
    I cannot figure out a way to create a Retention Policy tag that deletes a specific file type. Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    MrMister
    Those don't exist. The tags work on message class. The Cisco VMs are not the same forms as the Exchange UMs essentially.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen works on itunes but not show on windows do i need a driver?

    When first time i connect my ipod touch says that the driver for this hardware did not pass windows logo test so i did not installed, and now i need the driver so windows can use it as a storage device anybody knows where or how to get that driver back. helpppp. 

    iPod Touches do not have a disk mode.  However, you can se the iPod in Windows explorer in order to move photos from the iPod to your computer.  You probably need to reinstall iTunes and install the unsigned driver.

  • Airport Extreme working with iMac but not with Windows 7 Laptop!

    My iMac (OSX 10.5.8) has been working fine with my Airport Extreme, but a new member of our household cannot connect wirelessly with their Windown 7 Laptop. The PC can see the wireless name for our household and says it is connected to it, but there is a problem actually connecting to the internet. Has anyone experienced similar problems? We are at a loss as to what to do. Applecare were no help (despite forking out for the advanced applecare warranty) and both Mac and PC service providers blame each other. Any advice would be much appreicated. Surely the Airport Extreme can talk simultaneously to PC and Mac wireless computers?

    I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
    This worked for me.
    Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
    You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
    Then search services from start bar
    Open services and filter by manufacturer
    Stoop all macafee services
    Right click the start bar
    Open task manager
    Stop all macafee processes
    Try your airport utility you should now see your express
    If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
    This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
    Hope this helps

  • Java sound app works on Mac but not on Windows

    I am working on a program that needs to play a sound Clip and it doesn't work on XP but it does on OS/X.
    I've reduced the problem to this simple test program. On my PC, the sound I hear on the speakers is just a little burst of noise, whereas it's fine on my Mac. I used one of XP's system wav files, and verified that it does play normally on the PC via other means (iTunes, etc.). I'm using the latest JDK/JRE everywhere. Here's the sample code. Anything obviously wrong here?
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.sound.sampled.*;
    class ClipTest
        public static void main(String args[])
                try
                    Clip soundClip;
                    AudioInputStream soundStream;
                    File audioFile = new File("CHIMES.WAV");
                    soundStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(audioFile);
                    AudioFormat format = soundStream.getFormat();
                    DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, format);             
                    System.out.println(format.toString());
                    soundClip = (Clip)AudioSystem.getLine(info);
                    soundClip.open(soundStream);
                    soundClip.start();
                catch (Exception e)
                    e.printStackTrace();
    }

    Solved my own problem: adding a Thread.sleep(1000); after starting the Clip worked. Looks like the app was terminating before the sound could finish playing. Obviously something is different between the way the Mac and XP JRE handles the sound thread with respect to the rest of the app.

  • TS1369 ipod appears in iTunes, but not in windows explorer?

    So my iPod appears in iTunes just fine, i can sync it and everything, but when i want to move my photos over, my iPod never shows up in windows explorer anymore. All the support tutorials are for if your iPod shows up in windows explorer and not itunes (or not both) but none are vise versa. What can i do?

    Try:
    iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
    Next:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • USB FLASH DRIVE WORKS ON MAC BUT NOT ON WINDOWS... CAUSE I ERASED IT IN MAC

    I decided to take my work flash drive home to work on a file. At home I saw that some weird files were on the flash drive and wouldn't delete, so I decided to save my files on my Mac and erase the USB flash drive. I selected the flash drive (by the way it's a 2 GB flashdrive) and I used the SECURITY OPTION 35 PASS ERRASE. Format: MS-DOS (FAT).
    Everything was fine until I took my flash drive to work and plugged it on a Windows XP Computer and it appeared as Drive E I think and when I tried to open it it asked me to format it. I risked it and clicked OK and it said that I didn't have sufficient rights or something.
    SUMMERY:
    2 GB USB ERASED USING MAC DISSK UTILITY
    EVERYTHING FINE UNTIL I PLUG IN THE FLASH DRIVE IN A WINDOWS
    WINDOWS ASKS ME TO REFORMAT FILE
    I PLUG IT INTO A MAC COMPUTER AT WORK AND IT DOES WORK
    IF ANYBODY KNOWS HOW DO I FIX THIS THANKS?

    The drive is probably now formatted for a Mac only file system. To format for a PC:
    Insert the drive in the Mac and start Disk Utility (Utilities folder).
    Select the drive in the left column. Be sure to select the drive (all the way to the left) not a volume (indented below the drive name).
    Select the "Partition" tab.
    Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition" (not "Current" even if it's already one partition).
    Click the "Options" button".
    Select "Master Boot Record".
    Click the "OK" button.
    Enter a volume name (all uppercase).
    Set "Format" to "MS-DOS (FAT)".
    Click the "Apply" button.

  • IPod 160Gb works with Macintosh, but not with Windows

    Hi,
    My much treasured 160Gb iPod crashed and since then, I can restore it on a Macintosh machine and add music, etc. HOWEVER, as soon as I try it in a Windows PC it tells me I need to re-format it for Windows (expected) goes through the process OK, reboots and then drops into Disk Mode and sits there!
    I have tried restoring it on the Mac and choosing not to use the disk as a hard disk (can't remember the actual terminology), still no good. Unfortunately, I don't have a mac and am able to temporaily borrow one, but would ideally like this back to working in windows.
    Any ideas, please.
    Just to let you know I have done the 5 Rs to death and have de-installed the latest iTunes and rolled back to a 7.6 version.
    Hope you can help.

    You are running an OS that is 5 years old and you want to use the latest hardware. You need to check system requirements before you buy new gadgets whether they are Apple, Microsoft, IBM, or whatever. You can't use a Zune with 98 ME or 2000...you need XP or Vista. We could debate whether Apple chose not to support new iPods in 10.3 for technical reasons or for financial reasons. Since there are more folks using ipods with windows (I think) than with Macs, I have to assume there is a technical reason. Neither one of knows for sure, so please read the stuff on the box before you buy something new.
