ITunes song info edit

When I add a song to my iTunes library, I am unable to adjust volume and song info. My music is stored on a portable hard drive that always remains connected to computer. I'm using Windows Vista.

Yes. Normally. There can be issues when tracks have multiple tags where only one gets updated.

ITunes Song Info

I don't want iTunes to display the song info when Visual Effects is on. Even if for a few seconds at the beginning of each song. Is it possible?

You can turn on the mini player (click the green button at the top left of the iTunes window.
Make sure iTunes prefs -> Advanced - *Keep mini player on top of all others windows* is ticked.

If I change iTunes song info, why does it not show up in my iPad?

I have several individual songs that I bought from iTunes that have preset Album names, but for my purposes, I have changed those names so the songs are grouped together but the album info is never updated on the ipad and it is throwing off my sorting.
This has only happened since I got iTunes Match on April 1.
Any ideas how to make the changes in iTunes show up on the iPad?

If the tracks are already downloaded to your iPad you'll need to delete them and download them again for the changes you made to show up.

Itunes song info in strange language

Following 10.4.5 installation, all itunes text including playlists and song titles are in what looks like a middle eastern language. No other apps affected.
Deleted all plist.itunes prefs and restarted = no change, ran Diskwarrior = no change. Has not happened on other emac and g4 powerbook in same office.

It could be Hebrew what you're seeing.
This can be caused by a copy of the (system) font Lucida Grande in ~/Users/YourUsername/Library/Fonts.
Remove the copy, if present, log out and in and see if it helps.
Hope this helps.

ITunes song info importer

I was wandering if anyone knows of a program that will import song information such as album, artist, genre etc... into the information for your songs in iTunes. Any help, advice, or links will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

these are all custom CD's and my friends tend to name
the songs really stupidly
Unfortunately, we cannot help you here as it is illegal to take your friend's songs and put them onto your computer.

Is there any way to search words that are in the comment section of iTunes song info?

Question is above. I have put some keywords in various comment sections but can't find a way to search for them

Note if you find search isn't working as expected it may help to switch to the List view (left-hand view icon) and enable the column, then go back to the view you were using.

I did not sync my device to itunes before it got ruined. How do I retrieve unsynced songs I purchased to add to my new iPhone4

I had over 80 songs I purchased through iTunes using my iTouch. My iTouch got ruined and now I have an iPhone4. I did not sync 50 of those songs to my iTouch. When I visit iTunes, only 32 songs are showing up. When I try to repurchase the lost songs, they say I have already purchased the songs. How can I get iTunes to retrieve these songs for me so I can redownload them again. And can I do this without purchasing the songs over again?
HELP!!!
Danita Hamel

Thank you for your advice. I did contact Apple and they referred me to this website only. I'm so mad at myself. And totally discouraged. Yes, I will be syncing regularly from now on.

I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it. How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store? when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again?

I updated my iPod and it erased everything i had on it. How do i retrieve the songs that i bought from the iTunes store? when i try to download/buy them again they tell me i have already purchased them do i want to buy them again? I have authorized my computer but none of them are in my music now.

You buy one and only one download.
It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.

Is there a way to overwrite the ORIGINAL songs with my iTunes library info?

Hi there,
I would like to know if there is a way to overwrite the original songs with my iTunes library info? What I mean is, I have MANY songs that I have transferred to iTunes (and were obviously not purchased from iTunes) and I always put the info (such as the album name, the album art, artist, composer, etc.) and it leaves the original song (like the songs that are in "My music" section that is in "My Documents") with the same info. For example : The song that I put into the library will be "chamiionaire feastureing flip"... and in the iTunes, I put it as "Chamillionaire ft. Lil Flip". How do I make it so that it replaces the "original" info (located in my documents) with the info I put in?

Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.

I've imported several CDs that are "collections", with songs by various artists. Only a PORTION of the song info appears in iTunes, and, when a song is "clicked-on" to play it, a message appears that the "song could not be found". Any ideas ?

The CDs are imported into the "iTunes Media" folder, under "Compilations". Each CD has a folder, with the name of the CD. However, EACH SONG in the folder is assigned a sequential number as a prefix before the song's name. For example "2-1 Sunshine of Your Love." This prefix, I believe, prevents the song from being imported into the iTunes library. The song's name appears in the iTunes library (with the number prefix), BUT no other song info (artist, CD name, time, etc.) shows in the iTunes library. I am NOT designating these CD's as "complilations", but somehow, iTunes is arbitrarily assigning them to this "Compilations" folder, and then assigning sequential numbers to each song. I am confused. (My only remedy is to MANUALLY remove the prefix number from each song in the CD folder, within the COMPILATIONS folder, then "re-import" it into iTunes. Cumbersome.) Thanks in advance for any opinion, tips or guidance.

The numeric prefixes in filenames are probably the optional disc number, followed by the track number. iTunes will pick up the Compilation flag from the Gracenote CDDB database if you ripped the tracks with iTunes, or the flag may have been set earlier if these are existing tracks you have imported into a new library. The iTunes naming convention is <Artist>\<Album>\[<D#>-]<T##> <Name>.<Ext> where Album Artist is used instead of Artist if not blank, and Compliations is used instead of Artist when Part of a compilation is true. Empty Artist or Album values are replaced with Unknown Artist or Unknown Album respectively. With Windows, file and folder names are limited to 40 characters. If more than one file is added with the same details subsequent tracks get suffixes to separate them.
If iTunes can't find a file that usually means that it has been moved after it was added to the library. Select a single broken track and press CTRL+I to Get Info. Look on the summary tab at the location that iTunes expects to find the file. Where is it really? Post back both paths and I might be able to figure out what has happened, and suggest a fix.

I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

Updated to ios5 cant edit song info via itunes anymore

Here's what's going on. I updated my OS on iPod Touch and when I did, all my content on it got deleted sans photos and contact info. Not too big of a deal but now when I drag songs from my music folder in windows and edit the song info in iTunes (i.e. changing Sade to Everything But The Girl) it does so in iTunes but the info isn't changed on my iPod. Any info would help and keep my hair in. Email [email protected]

Problem Solved:
#1) after you install iTunes and reboot as it tells you to you must start up the program then log out of the program
#2) reboot 1 more time (this is redundant but you must do it to get your equalizer working and the ability to edit your song information).
Everything is working correctly now.

I just downloaded itunes 10.6 and it will not allow me to edit song info! Why?

why won't itunes 10.6 allow me to edit song info?

Have you moved your iTunes library recently? Are you using a different profile?
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 of 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.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administer privileges.
Also in iTunes properties tap the read-only check box until it clears, then click OK. When prompted apply the change to the folder and all files and subfolders.
