Songs just AREN'T tagged

Some of my songs in iTunes just aren't tagged with id3v2.3 tages, even though I have tried many times to force it through editing the "Comments" section of the files and converting the id3 tags, but nothing seems to stick. The track names/artist names are displayed perfectly in iTunes, but I just cannot write them to the track itself. I like the way I have tagged everything in iTunes, so do not really want any sort of 3rd party software that will mess up those tags.
Can anyone think of any other way to force it?

It is normal for folders to be read only, that is not the problem. You need to check permissions, see these links:

  • How To Remove All Songs That AREN'T In Playlists

    I have all the music i listen to sorted into playlists but i have a lot of other music in my library that i don't want
    Any idea's?
    Thannks in advance

    You should first update to 10.8.5 (or update your signature from 10.8.3).
    It's possible.
    How many playlists do you have?
    Also, this app will do it -> http://dougscripts.com/apps/tracksiftapp.php

  • Songs that aren't in Spotify yet

    Hello guys,
    Just wanna ask can we request songs to Spotify? Well I like some songs that aren't in Spotify and I really want them to be there. Or if we can't request what can we do? Is there any alternative?
    Appreciate some solutions

    Spotify wants all the world's music, and they're working hard on making this happen for you. However sometimes agreements can’t be reached with the artist or label or a change may happen in music ownership.
    Spotify adds thousands of albums and artists are added every day. If you can’t find an artist you’re looking for, they may appear (or reappear) soon. In the meantime, feel free to contact the artist or their label to ask when they plan to be on Spotify

  • How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

    My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
    Thank you

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • IPhone 4s - iTunes sync includes 1000 extra songs that aren't on my phone or iTunes

    iPhone 4s 32GB
    MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    1 TB hard drive (recently installed)
    IOS: 7.1.2
    OS: 10.6.8
    iTunes 11.4 (18)
    When my iphone 4s syncs with itunes the audio portion of the capacity graph says I have 2900 songs, or 18.22 GB of music.  However, my phone only has 1949 songs on it ("1949" visible both in the Music app under the Songs tab, and in Settings/General/About), which amounts to around 16.41 GB.
    The amount of available space listed fluctuates among different applications (iTunes, Settings, and iStat) but is always between 500 MB and 1 GB. If this takes into account that I only have 1949 songs then I should have at least 1 GB more free than I have.  Instead, this seems to mean that there is space being taken up on my phone for almost 1000 songs that aren't anywhere to be found.
    I have my phone synced to only one playlist, which has exactly 1949 songs.  I have no music videos or movies synced.
    This has been going on for quite some time now, and I have tried restoring my phone in the past but it did not help get rid of these 1000 nonexistent songs.  My only thought is that it has something to do with purchased music on iTunes that I have deleted from my phone, yet somehow is still on my phone by some error.  I have found no music on my phone that is not in my synced playlist, so I am truly at a loss as to what could be causing this.
    I would love to have the extra space, and have been frustrated by this for a long time!  Could anybody possibly help me out?  I will be happy to provide more information if needed.
    Thanks!

    Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
    A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

  • Ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."

    ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."
    reformatted ipod, resynced, same problem.
    help!

    I have also had the same problem...
    The songs appear to be random, and when I plug my iPod into the computer it is fixed. Sure enough, a monthish later, it happens again.
    When my songs get cut off, they are stopped exactly half-way through. Apparently, the iPod thinks that is how long they are, because it plays the time that it shows (the total time only goes to helf of what it normally is).
    This does not seem to be a matter of old software, as I am always up-to-date on iPod software, and this has been happening to me with version 1.4.1
    I have not Restored my iPod, but apparently that will not help (according to the other posts).
    I hope somebody can answer this (although I've posted it twice before with no luck, so...)

  • Custom playlist folder showing songs that aren't in any of the playlists

    I'm running iTunes 7 and I've created a folder to store all of the playlists that I use for DJing. Right now I've got about 90 - 100 playlists in that folder. When I highlight the folder to show all of the songs in that folder, I notice that it also shows songs that aren't in any of the playlists in that folder. The songs are in playlists in another folder (which isn't highlighted). I've gone through and checked to make sure that I didn't accidentally dump songs into a playlist that weren't supposed to be there. Any ideas on how to remedy this?

    Try this -
    select one of the 'phantom' songs, and right-click. Look at the 'Show in playlist' item to see which playlists iTunes thinks the song is in. Maybe it will help you narrow down the search for a solution.

  • I have my songs set to shuffle, but the same song just keeps repeating.

    I have my songs set to shuffle, but the same song just keeps repeating itself and I have to manually advance.

    Are you simply shuffling a list containing one song?  When the song plays and you see the album art, do you see "1 of 1" on top?

    With iPhoto open click Help from the iPhoto menu bar top of your screen. From the drop down menu click iPhoto Help.
    Type slideshow music  in the search field top right corner of that window.

  • I just installed an update on my iPhone and since then the choice to repeat music, or not, has disappeared and it automatically plays songs and albums on a loop. Anyone know how to make it play an album or song just once?

    I just installed an update on my iPhone and since then the choice to repeat music, or not, has disappeared and it automatically plays songs and albums on a loop. Anyone know how to make it play an album or song just once?

    Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
    Have you tried each of these?

    Update!
    This is what I did to fix both the skipping songs problem and the iPod verifying forever & not able to restore problem (because of iTunes 9):
    a) I used Disk Utility to reformat my iPod while in Disk Mode using the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
    and here:
    http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml#backup
    b) Do not unplug your iPod after reformatting (mine showed up as a firewire disk) - simply launch iTunes ( I went back to 8.2) and follow the Restore instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    iPod is recognized, syncs and doesn't skip songs anymore after that miserable experience with iTunes 9!!!

  • Song just slowed down and died - can't reboot, can't charge...

    Ipod is dead - while playing, the song just slowed down completely, warped like a dying cassette tape player, and then froze. Nothing on screen. Tried to recharge - pc doesnt' recognize, no icon on ipod, rebooting many times doesn't work.
    Is there any hope? Is this symptomatic of a dead-in-the-water battery or a shot disk drive? I'm traveling in India for another month so can't send in for service until I return to US...any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Have you tryed Charging the device for atleast 20min since this problem?
    If yes,
    Try to Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds.
    If the device still does not respond. You should try to restore the phone.
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force device into recovery mode.

  • It appears that my iTunes Library of song just suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Did I lose it or is someway I don't know?

    It appears that my iTunes Library of song just suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Did I lose it or is someway I don't know?

    To double check it wasn't misplaced do a Spotlight search for a few tracks you know exist.  Spotlight will usually find them even if the files have obscure names.
    If you really, really can't find any of this anywhere then it is possible it is all gone.  Normally an update or doing anything with iTunes should not do this, but once or twice a week out of millions of iTunes users we see somebody who has lost a library.  In that case you have to restore it from your computer's backup.  If you don't have one (why not?) you have to rebuild the library from the sources.  You can re-download most media you have purchased from Apple from the Store (not all though).
