Song title scroll
Does anyone know of a way or a hack, to slow down the speed at which the song titles scroll accross the screen? They move so fast, it's hard to read the titles of longer songs or book titles.
me too
I went to show off to a neighbor how cool it is and it was broken
no scroll bar ?
I re-installed 7.2 with no resolve

Pre-Sales: Do the Song Titles Scroll like in the 3rd Generation?
Hello. I have a 3rd Generation 4GB Nano that I am completely happy with, but I'm considering getting a new 16 GB model.
I'd like to know if the song titles scroll in the Now Playing screen. The titles scroll in the 3rdG Nano.
Thank you! JdI just upgraded from a 8mb 3rd generation to a 4th gen 16mb nano and the song title scroll up and down vs the 3rd gen goes left and right. The other things I notice is that songs play clearer than the 3rd gen and the albums display clearer.
The only drawback I noticed is sometimes there is a delay on displaying albums from one song to another. This only happened once but it should be cleared up in the next update.
Other than that, I'm glad I made the upgrade -
How to turn off song title scrolling
When I play my ipod through my car stereo arrangement, I can hear the scrolling of the song title (digital beeps). is there a way to turn the scrolling off? I have the newest generation 30gig ipod.
Hi,
In my case i need to display more no of columns and tabs in the page.So users need to scroll horizontally to the right side if they want to see all the values which is not user friendly.
Is there any way we can fix horizontal scrolling?

ITunes causes 90% CPU usage when the info window scrolls the song title
What's up with that little info window under the iTunes title? When the song title exceeds the width of the window iTunes does a little right to left banner scroll of the text. Whenever this happens the CPU jumps to 90% and stays there. This is especially bad for radio stations that have long text message strings in their titles. I have to keep iTunes minimized to avoid this GUI bug.
This just started happening with iTunes 7 and 7.0.1
Windows XPiTunes on MBP in miniplayer mode and streaming to airport express. Wife changes songs through iPad remote and the CPU spikes to 90% and stays there. If I then select regular window mode, the CPU drops back to 7-8% (where it was before song change). It doesn't happen if I change songs through the MBP iTunes, only through the iPad remote. It's like it starts a process and doesn't close it out.
There's a couple of different things that can be going on here. Let's check on the one that involves the Mini Player first.
It seems to happen when the main iTunes player is set to Cover Flow rather than List view.
If you set iTunes to List view prior to switching to the Mini Player, does that stop the excessive CPU use while in Mini Player? -
Strange song titles after transfering backup music to iPod through iTunes
Hi, i recently lost my iPod classic(80GB) which i have been using soly as a music player. Luckily i had made a backup before i lost it. I then baught a new iPod classic(160GB) and *transfered my backup to my new iPod through iTunes*. This workded fine, except that *alot of the songs titles have been changed to something like: AYFV, GGVE, YVOB etc* ( i transfered my backed up music directly to my connected iPod, not putting them in the iTunes Library first )
I have about 9000 songs on it, and i dont know how to find many of the songs i like and love. I remember most of my songs by its Tittle rather than Artist or Album. I have a Samsung Galaxy with SoundHound downloaded... but scrolling through 9000 songs to find the 'corrupted' titles and changing them kinda throws me off
Why has this happened? What can i do about it? How can i prevent this from happening in the future? Can i back up my playlists as well?Most media files contain some form of tag which records details such as the title, track number, artist. etc. If you import such a file into iTunes then iTunes will read the tag data from it and list the data that it has found. For files which don't have a tag, typically those in .wav format but .mp3 files don't have to have tags, the only information iTunes has when it imports will be the filename.
Although the tag can record much of the metadata (data about data) of the file, certain information such as ratings, playcounts and playlist membership is stored in a database. There is a database for your local iTunes library and a database on the iPod. Putting the media files onto the iPod in their XXXX.<ext> format *is not enough* for them installed into the iPod's database. Despite your description above, if you were able to restore your iPod backup to a new device, then you must have backed up and then restored the whole drive, not just the Music folder. If you still have the whole image and a compatible device then you can do this again.
When iTunes places media on an iPod it uses the F00-FXX folders and XXXX.<ext> filenames in a scheme called a hash table. The details aren't important, but it is a way of efficiently relabelling files with much shorter filenames that won't clash with each other. As a by-product it also discourages casual piracy from the iPod's drive since you don't know which file is which.
If you only have the media files then, as you have seen, the best you can do is import them into iTunes. Those which have tags will be correctly reorganised. Those without will be given their current filenames as their track names and placed in the Unknown Artist\Unknown Album folder. I would suspect that most of these files will be in .wav format in which case you will have to listen to and rename them one at a time. If however there are files in .mp3 or .acc format then you may be able to build tags for them using MusicBrainz Picard Tagger. iTunes won't detect any updates you make with third party tools, but I have a script for that called UpdateTagInfo.
Given how easy it is for an iPod to be lost, stolen or damaged it should not be relied upon as the only place for your media. It makes much more sense to to maintain your library in iTunes on your computer, then sync that library to the device. Instead of backing up the device, which takes ages each time and limits you to replacing it with an identical device, back up the library.
*Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.

ITunes adding artist to song title
Library of about 10,000 songs tagged satisfactorily.
For some reason, iTunes likes to add the artist before the song title. For instance in iTunes:
B.B. King - The Thrill is Gone | B.B. King | Capitol Gold Blues Legends
and when I add library to my iPod, the artist name is in the scrolling song title.
Highly annoying. All I want iTunes to do is what I tell it, not what it wants to do. User friendly software? Hardly.
Anyone have any ideas how to stop iTunes from doing this?FSeven wrote:
Yes, the song title is just the song title, album = album, etc.
I do not use Windows Media player at all. I use Easy CDDA extractor for ripping CDs which uses CDDB database with a custom format to name songs.
I use the following format: song - artist - album
It would appear your problem is with Easy CDDA then. Take a look at the one of the albums in Windows Explorer, goto the Details view and turn on the Title column. I'm predicting the titles actually read *Artist - Title*. If so you'll need to get a tag editing tool to fix these before you import into iTunes.

Alphabetize Song Title Sort Order Under Genre on iPod
Here is the general idea of what I am trying to do on the iPod. When viewing songs on the iPod, if I select Genre from the main menu, I cannot find a way to display all the song titles in a selected genre in alphabetical order. This can be done easily with the songs in iTunes on the laptop or desktop but seemingly not in the iPod. There is no big problem if you have only a handful of songs in any one genre but if you have several hundred songs in a particular genre and titles do not display in alphabetical order, then finding a desired song is very time consuming and necessitates scrolling through the entire list. Is there a way to alphabetize the song title sort order within Genre on the iPod?
Get external hard drive. Backup all your music files and wipeout iTunes from computer. The. Reinstall and update version if necessary. The. Connect external hard drive and set hard drive folder at default in iTunes preferences. Transfer music to library and when prompted hit automatic organizing z
. Should take care of your problem -
Does anybody know if the new ipod nano displays the full song title if its really long?
i'm looking to buy one. I have an old zune hd and it doesn't allow you to view full song titles. It's a huge problem if you have a lot of classical music (which i do), because you see stuff like "Symphony No. 4 in" and then nothing else, no way to get more
The title should scroll, but I"m not positive if it does that on all models.

Languages: Some song titles do not show up on iPod menus
Hi,
I have a few Thai CDs that I have uploaded to my iPod. Unfortunately, the song titles that are using Thai script do not show up in the iPod lists (they show as blank). Is there any way to correct this problem short of translating the names to English in iTunes (the Thai names display correctly in iTunes)?
Thanks,
RobertThe iPod does not yet support Thai (look at the tech specs). However some people have put together a hack, check here for info:

My songs are in my iTunes library but the song titles do not show up on the songs list.
I have an older generation iPod nano, do I need to go back to an older version of iTunes so I can see the song titles on the song list? If so, does anyone have a link to the oder verson?
Does anyone know of an audio CD burner that will consistently label the original information?
Audio CDs do NOT have info except for CD-TEXT, no matter which program you use.
The Redbook audio CD standard does not allow for anything except CD-TEXT.
iTunes will write CD-TEXT but it will not read CD-TEXT.
You can burn data CDs and all the info will be retained and can be played in iTunes. -
I recently burned a CD with iTunes using the "include CD text" option. However, the only iTunes where the song titles show is the computer the CD was created on. Can anyone tell me why this is the case? If this is a quirk with iTunes, I will have to create my CDs using another program.

iTunes can write CD Text, but cannot read it. You can find a list of ripping tools that will read CD Text here.
If you don't have time to read the list, here is a summary: almost all ripping tools can read CD Text except iTunes. -
Song titles, artitist names, etc., do not show up on burned CD
Can someone please tell me why when I burn a playlist onto a CD the song information does not transfer? It doesn't have song titles, artist names, etc.
Thanks!Original CDs from the store do not have track titles either.
iTunes looks them up on the Gracenote CD Database.
Burn the CD and make sure the info is there.
Select the CD, then menu Advanced -> Submit CD track names.
Ont he next computer, use iTUnes (or whatever program) to look up CD track names and it should retrieve them. -
When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?
The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
PLEASE HELP!
