Song and Artist display differently in landscape mode (iPod on iPhone)

I have a CD Compilation *50 Best Songs Ever*. When I play any song from this Compilation on my iPhone, if I turn the phone to landscape mode the Artist defaults back to the Artist on the 1st track, but if I turn the phone back to upright mode the Artist shows correctly.
This is a CD Compilation of various artists, and the only one it seems to happen to.
Any thoughts?

No, the OP is correct, there is some sort of funky bug here. I have noticed it too. To the extent that it is almost comical. In portrait view the song/artist/album artist/album art are all correct; then switch to landscape view and you get a comical mix of songs from different artists, wrong album art (from first one in list) and the name of the song and artist are wrong, and inconsistent with what is playing. Rotate back to portrait view and all is good again.
It is at best a minor inconvenience, and I love my shuffle anyhow, so the randomness of it is sort of fun/funny.
But it is definitely a bug.

Song and Artist Name does not display in MiniPlayer

iTunes 11.0.0.163. In MiniPlayer, Song and Artist Name only appears when i play chinese songs, English names does not appear.

this will answer your question:

I've found no way to sort. For example, if I type the group "Rush" into the search bar, I get a list of songs recorded by rush and literally thousands of other songs and artists with the word rush in them. There is; however, no way to sort the results.

In the Search box click on the black Arrow and UNTICK the Search Entire Library.
Then the Search results in Songs view will be displayed in the main Grid and you can sort them by clicking on the column headers.
You can also turn on the column browser which can help with filtering

Is there a way to increase the font size for the "songs" and "artists" lists in the new music app for iPad 2 (iOS 5)? It is too small for me.

It would depend on your definition of "Fix"
Your iPod touch running OS 4.2 has a ZOOM feature which will enable you to see the screen more clearly.
To turn Zoom on or off got to:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.
_To Zoom in or out_:
Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
_Move around the screen_:
When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
_Large Text_:
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.
Set the text size: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, tap Large Text, then tap the text size you want.
I hope this has helped a little - other than this option I think it pretty much is what it is.
BTW - This information can be found on page 208 of the iPod Touch iOS 4.2 Users Guide.
Best wishes..

Bring back copying and pasting of SONG and ARTIST info (not just links)

Guys, I used to be able to copy and paste song and artist info into a Google document so I could have a record of my favourite tracks. I'm not talking about copying and pasting actual links within Spotify; rather just the absolute basics. If still not following, I would, for example copy a track from my Spotify playlist as such: Megadeth - Hanger 18 After which I would paste into a Google document and get this: Megadeth - Hanger 18 I've always found the ability to do this very handy. Any chance we can have this back, Spotify? And while we're at it, can we be able to hover over the Spotify icon in the Windows system tray and have currently playing track info displayed? Cheers.

Select the text in both cases, and look at the Character Style applied. My guess is that the grey text has the Hyperlink Character style, and it has been manually overridden to get to grey and not underlined. When the text is copied and pasted, the Style is re-asserting itself. Remove the Style from the grey text (or use Redefine Style to change it to match your formatting preferences).

How can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up but song and artist?

how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?

Renaming songs and artists on 10.5

So my friend burned me a mix cd and I was trying to rename songs and artists because the names and such did not come through when i imported the cd to itunes 10.5. In trying to do so it is no longer apparently as simple as just clicking and waiting for the box to allow me to pop up and change the title/artist. Is anyone else having this issue with 10.5 or have any resolutions to this?? Also I am no longer able to just simply click on the Music category on the left hand side bar nor am i able to click on my playlists..
What the heck iTunes???!!!!

hey there. all you have to do is right click on the song, and then click "get info". when that box pops up, you go up to the tabs and you click "info". by doing so, you can enter all the information you need to, just as you would before.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously. This is a big problem which means all my windows -> iphone pictures are half black or glitched on the iphone. Also my songs are completely glitched. I have tried resyncing and different USB-ports.

Same problem on Iphone 4s AND windows 7. Really annoying that I can't have any music on my brand NEW device.

I updated to the new version of Itunes and now I can't sync my ipod or iphone. It's not recognizing either in Itunes, but both are charging

The song and artist name on my itunes is different to what it is on my iphone.

Ever since I've updated to the new itunes, I've encountered an annoying problem. When I change the song name by right-clicking on the song and clicking 'get info' and changing it that way, the changes don't apply to my iphone. Why is this?

You have skype or anything? Easier to chat and explain lol. Ill try my best tho. Pretty much for the songs that are not working for you,remove(delete) from iphone-music. Make sure to then file add to libary select the songs, then go to the very top right "Library" below says music, click it, which then find the songs you just readded, right click get info, change the artist name, song name etc. What ever you need changed, then apply(ok), select the file(s) drag to the iphone/ipod - music. Should appear on iphone as it does on itunes.

Sideways and Vertical displays different for the same song

When I play music on my iPod touch 4th generation, the name of the song appears normally in the vertical position, but the first word is omitted in the sideways display. ("Awake And Alive" displays as "And Alive" when sideways.) How can I fix this?

Hello Beverly,
Thank you for the question. I would be concerned too if I received two emails for the same purchase.
I suggest checking your purchase history in the iTunes Store to see if there are two separate charges listed for this song. Use the steps in the following article to check your purchase history in the iTunes Store:
iTunes Store: See your purchase history and web order numbers
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
If you do in fact see two separate charges for the same song, you can report the issue to the iTunes Store using these steps:
To report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase, follow these steps:
Find the email receipt for your purchase.
Click Report a Problem under the app that is having the issue.
When prompted, enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the item, then click Report a Problem.
Click Report a Problem next to the item you are having an issue with.
From the Choose Problem dropdown menu, choose the appropriate issue.
Follow the onscreen instructions and—if prompted—type a description of the problem into the text field.
Click Submit to have your issue reviewed.

A response on this subject from another post:
It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

I had an earlier post on this subject with a similar problem. I tried what you suggested and it worked indeed. You can select the artists from your Ipod on Itunes and after highlighting the artists/albums affected, click NO on the compilation box and the issue is resolved: the artists appear on the list.
Thank you so much!!!!.

Lllustrator and Photoshop display different colors despite synchronized CS5 Color Settings

I've got some students who noticed that Illustrator and Photoshop display completely different colors on screen for eactly the same RGB values despite Color Settings being synchronized.
Settings are:
CSF: North American Web/Internet (RGB color space = sRGB),
Proof Set-up: Internet Standard sRGB
Proof Colors turned On.
RGB Values: R=0 G= 162 B=211
But colors displayed are not close between Ai and Ps.
With Proof Colors turned off, both apps display the colors reasonably closely.
I teach Photoshop and Print Color Management, so I admit my knowledge of how Illustrator handles screen proofing and proof set-ups for screen destinations is not comprehensive.
I expect I'm missing some difference in the two apps' behaviour.
Any info from anyone experienced in this corner of the field appreciated.
Cheers
Tom

Petition: Chinese Song and Artist Search Function in the Next ZM Firmw

Hi Everyone,
Right now I can search for english song or artist in my ZM, but I have no way of doing the same thing for my chinese songs. It would be great if Creative can implement this feature in future firmware (Non-unicode search ability), maybe using Microsoft IME for input.
Mutax2003

I investigated a little bit further the music app and found, that the issue is caused by the "Music Videos" in the Music Collection.
The MusicVideos are not shown in the list of the search results, but the sound from the MusicVideo is played, when the MusicVideo matches the search criteria.
I realized that the "out of order selection" for the song to be played, typically happended, when there is a large search selection, e.g. when you search for "love". In my search result for "love" in title, the first song in search results is "After Love (Blank&Jones)". When I select it, it plays correctly.
The second title in search results is shown as "Cant get enough of our love (Barry White)". When I select it, MusicApp plays "Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis)", which is a MusicVideo.
When I now select the third title in search results, the second (Barry White) is played. And we have this phenomenon that "some song before the selection" is played.
So it is a bug how Apple MusicApp performs searching when MusicVideos are part of the collection: In search results the matching MusicVideos are simply ignored and not shown. But when selecting a song from the search results, by clicking at position x in list, this position x is somehow calculated on a (not visible) list including the MusicVideos. With the result that a previous song in list is played.
Hope that we see a fix in the near future??!
