Nokia6230i music track names
I`ve had the same problem as many of you seem to have with track names in music player appearing as a series of squares.After a lot of experimenting i`ve found that removing the ID3v2 tags(leave the IDv1 tags)solved my problem.I used a tag editor called tagscanner to edit my files.Hope this is of some help.

You're the umpteenth person to mention this; it's a trait of the 6280 and 6131 (that I've read about) and no one seems to have the answer as yet.

I'm getting this error message: "User not registered for online use" when i'm trying to download music/ track names from a CD into ITunes on my Windows 8 PC. I'm registered and my itunes account/ appleID are all correct and working.
The ""not recognized for on-line use". error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs. Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12. A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected. Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this doesn't work:
In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.
If this one didn't work:
Exit iTunes
Check the following folders:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete any copies of the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure. If you're still not able to retrieve CD info:
Exit iTunes
In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
When this process has finished, restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself. If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes. -

XBox Music - Changes my album tags, track names an...
I have a well organised music collection on my PC with correct album/artist tags. When I copy music over to the phone (Lumia 920) XBox Music ends up replacing some track tags with random artists, track names, album names and artwork. It also doesn't display some album artists despite correct tags. I never had any kind of problem like this on my previous phones (last being HTC Titan on WP 7.8. Has anyone else had this issue and what can be done to fix it?

How do I get iTunes to provide track names on home recorded music?
How do I get iTunes to provide track names when I burn a CD of home recorded music?
Audio CDs do not contain track information. For commercial CDs this information is supplied by the Gracenote service (see below). Each computer gets this information for a particular CD from this service, it isn't on the CD. You would have to register your CD with Gracenote. In my opinion this is a bit much for a personal CD that only a few computers in the world will ever see, but I guess unless they block it then you can do it.

Mysteriously Shortening Tracks Names for new music
I am on the latest version of iTunes.
Whenenver I add new music into my iTunes library (not imported from cd's) and then eith play them or edit track info, the track names always get shortened to 36 characters. How can I stop this, it is very annoying and now i've lost some titles of music because I can't remember them.
Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.The operating system has a limit of (I think) 255
characters for file names.
255 characters for "file names" yes.
But if iTunes used proper UNC paths internally (like all good Windows apps are supposed to do), then the max path name is actually 32767 characters, with any given file name or folder name being limited to 255 characters. This is on NTFS volumes, of course.
On FAT32 volumes, you are more correct, the max path name is 260 characters.
So in short, it's possible for them to bypass this "limitation" in iTunes, they just haven't done so. -
My ITunes is acting odd. I have to click on the tabs (ie Music) on the left a bunch of times in order to get to the screen. Also, I can't edit track names by double clicking on them. I downloaded the new ITunes as well. Any solutions? Thanks.

Burn Purchased Music CD No Track Names
I'm upgrading a few purchased songs to iTunes + and want to copy them to a second authorized PC. The track names show up on the CD when I burn them on the first PC but when I insert the CD into the second PC, I get the msg "Could not find track names, do you still want to import them?" Looks like GraceNote trys to name but cannot. I have the Audio CD and Text boxes checked when I burn. How can I get the track names, etc without manually typing them. TIA
I will not be able to play the Data CD on any other cd player?
No, a data CD, since it's just computer data, cannot be played on any normal CD player. CD players with some exceptions can only play Redbook-standard audio CDs, which is what iTunes burns when you select the Audio CD option.
basically the Data burning is used for transferring songs from one itunes library to another.
Burning as a data CD is for transfer and for making backups.
The audio is used for having a cd to play outside of itunes.
For playing on any player that can only handle standard CDs. This could include a home or car CD player, a DVD player (many if not all of which can play audio CDs), or some other computer that doesn't have a player that can handle the format of the tracks (particularly the copy protection on some tracks from the iTunes Store). -
Generic track names instead of the correct artist/album/song name
I've uploaded songs to my itunes library for the past year on my ibook G4, and the bought music CDs I imported always displayed their full information (artist, song title, album etc). I just replaced my malfunctioning 40 GB black and white ipod with the 60GB color display video ipod, and now every music cd I try to import shows up with generic track names and no artist or album title. Is this due to the fact that I started using a new ipod? Or did apple change itunes within the past few weeks so that every music cd now shows up only with this generic info? Is this a copyright security measure issue?
Thanks in advance.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) I am now using the 60 GB video ipod with itTo get the track names etc., when importing a CD, you have to be connected to the Internet.
This article explains why.
To get the info later, select all tracks (with the generic track names) of an album and choose 'Get CD Track Names' from the Advanced menu in the menubar.
Very often the correct information will show up.
Hope this helps.

Im trying to import cds i got for xmas onto my itunes and they arecoming up with no artist/album cover or track names, when i click get track info it says i have not internet connection, but im on my windows laptop and can get on the internet, is there something i need to so in itunes tmake it rcognise the album details?
Hey there lollypops21,
It sounds like you are connected to the internet otherwise, but iTunes is giving you this error message when trying to get info from the Gracenote database to retrieve your album info. I had a couple of articles I wanted to recommend you try. First this one named:
iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1490
You can always enter in the album information manually with this article if needed:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
Customize song and CD info
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track Number fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. For more information, visit the Gracenote website.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

ITunes 10.6.1 upgrade changes track names to Chinese characters.....
This is very weird, after upgrading, the track names in iTunes, TV Shows, Music and others changed to Chinese characters and wingding characters...not all of them though, just the visible ones so when I scroll I still have regular English names....very strangely, these incorrect names are also visible on AppleTV, I guess it takes the names straigh of my Air....anybody any idea how to fix this...it happended after restarting iTunes after the upgrade....
May 24, 2012, further update.
I had my pst file copied from Outlook 2007 and installed on a test computer with iTunes 10.1.6 and the calendar sync occurred no problem
My techie, then basically said it was some registry files on the desktop that must be corrupted and he deleted them with a program.
He is back tomorrow for futher testing I will keep you informed -
Alphabetical sorting of Music Artists [Name of Artist] All Songs?
When I go to Music>Artists>[Name of Artist]>All Songs, it sorts the songs by album, is there a way to have this sorted alphabetically instead, without regard to album? Basically I want a way to view an alphabetical list of songs by a certain artist without making a million playlists. This would only apply to Music>Artists>[Artist]>All Songs, I want everything else to stay as is. This is for a current gen Ipod Classic. Also, would doing this (if it's even possible) mess up the sorting of artists who I only have one album for (I would want these to stay sorted by track number)?
Regarding the playlists, just click on the NAME column within each playlist to sort the list by name. Make sure the shuffle icon is not selected before you do this. Your playlists will be in Track Name order now. (You must do this for EACH playlist)
I believe when choosing an individual artist, then choosing all albums by that artist, the tracks will be sorted by album name then track number per album, so the ALBUMS will be played in alphabetical order, but the songs will play in the track order of each album. There is no way to chage this, as far as I know.
There may be a workaround for this by removing all the track numbers from all of your files. However, this will mess up your album order if you ever wish to listen to individual albums.
To each his own, I know, but hearing all songs in alphabetical order drives me insane. -
Add file to library. Track names added to iTunes (10.5), but Album information missing
I moved my music folders on my PC, then deleted all the songs from iTunes. Before I did that my library was in perfect shape. When I "File>Add Folder to Library" all the tracks came in, however, for any tracks whose titles begin with track numbers, iTunes doesn't add album information. See tracks with pre-pended numbers in this screenshot. No album information!
The album folders in Windows are still intact, and Explorer listings of the folders show the album names as well. So windows knows the names of the albums. iTunes isn't finding them. See below.
Why isn't iTunes reading the album names. My library is now a mess! Now I've got thousands of tracks without album information. I can't do all of them manually. Any ideas?
Thanks so much!My script picks up the information in the path the file is stored at, which generally yields Album Artist, Album, Track Number & Track Name. My own personal file name convention sets the filename to ## <Name> - <Artist> when Artist != Album Artist and my script can read that data back again. In your case we really want to get down to the reason why iTunes isn't reading the tag that is there, and eveidently readable by Windows Explorer.
Here's a thought... Backup one of the files that includes something visibly different in the contributing artists field. Right click on the file in iTunes and select Convert ID3 Tags... > None. Now try playing the file in question. Does the extra data appear? If not give the same process at least one more go.
As I mentioned earlier the ID3 spec allows for multiple tags to be attached to a single file, e.g. both V2 and V1 for backwards compatability or even multiple tags of the same version but in different languages. What isn't obvious is what rules applications are supposed to use to give preference from one to the other. I'm struggling to find a tag editor that is aware of this issue though there are some that can display V1 & V2 tags and even copy data from one to the other. I don't offhand have a definite recommedation however.

"Automatically retrieve CD track names from internet" not working
I'm about to begin re-ripping all my CDs (400+) which I haven't done since at least 14yrs ago in order to take advantage on newer/better formats. I was excited to see that iTunes can automate a lot of this process with the following two options:
- When you insert a CD: (Import CD and Eject)
- [ ] Automatically retrieve CD track names from internet
Found in the "Playback" settings of iTunes 10.1.1
However after inserting my first CD, I noticed it started to import without downloading the track names first. Obtaining track names manually is working for me because if I choose "Advanced -> Get track names" it accesses Gracenote DB and works fine.
It's just the automatic operation after inserting a CD that is not working. This causes me to have to:
1) Insert CD
2) Choose "Advanced -> Get track names"
3) Click "Import CD"
4) Eject
as opposed to the one supposedly promised step of "Insert CD" and have the other 3 things happen automatically.
I've tried deleting my iTunes plists in my ~/Library/Preferences/ folder but it still works the same.
Any suggestions?You can seach the Gracenote site directly. I don't know if that would help you decide which option you needed to use.

New Beatles albums - track names and artwork not showing up in iTunes 9.0
Has anyone else bought the new Beatles remastered CDs and tried to import into iTunes 9.0?
All that shows up is Track 1, Track 2 etc and no album art.
Is this due to there being video on these albums too and how can one deal with this issue?It is because they have not yet been added to the database that is used to provide the track information.
When you insert a CD into your computer and it appears in iTunes, the iTunes software connects to a database and looks for the track names for the CD. If it finds the CD in the database the track names are downloaded and use to tag the music.
The album art on the other hand is provided by the iTunes Music Store, so if an album is not available in the iTunes Store than you cannot get the album art for it. As the Beatles are not yet available in the iTunes Store you will not get the album art.
