Titles and artists repeated

I've been having this problem with artists being repeated twice on my playlist. I thought that everytime I uploaded a new song by an artist already on my playlist, the song will automatically be categorized under the existing artist. I checked to make sure that there was no mistake in spelling and there isn't. Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?
Also sometimes when I'm looking for a singer under artist playlist, I can't find it, but if I look for it under the title of the song, I can. It happens under other categories as well. Anyone else have this problem as well?

Hi Dean,
Is your favorite CD a compilation of your own stuff or a bought CD? iTunes should connect automatically to the internet to find your album and song names. You may not have this option checked. It is uner the 'general settings' in your preferences pane or maybe you are using a dialup connection in which case you will have to be connected to the internat when you download a CD. If it is a compilation CD iTunes may not recognise it and, yes, you will have to write the track names, artist and album in manually. It only takes ten minutes or so.

  • Why can't I read Japanese characters on song titles and artists on my itunes

    For some reason all of my Japanese songs titles and artists are in this random jumbled text, and I was wondering if anyone can help me fix it.

    Sorry. I think you misread me. I know you said the software upgrade messed me up and I agree. It was Kobo Support who said the ebook/library book that caused the problem. When I called Kobo Support to see if they had a fix they told me it was my library's problem. I kept going back to the software upgrade and all the trouble shooting I had done - including the paperclip in the back - but the tech just kept getting me to do the same things over and over. You were spot on that they would try to place the blame on something other than their upgrade but they didn't blame ADE. The tech didn't have any new suggestions . I eventually gave up on her and took the device back to its like new settings, unintalled and reinstalled all the software on both my device and pc. It is working now but unfortunately I lost a couple of books.  Thanks for your input.

  • ITunes is changing song titles and artists

    iTunes appears to be infrequently and randomly changing the artist and song title tags of music in my library.  I usually just put my music on random shuffle, so it can take me a long time to actually identify errors -- like when I listen to music from a particular artist, or when I happen to glance at iTunes when a song iTunes has mis-re-named is playing.  So far, the errors seem to confined within single albums at a time, but that might just be because of the circumstances of me identifying the errors.
    In the first case I noticed a while back, an album with six songs had their titles all jumbled up.  Each song was titled with an incorrect song title from the same album.  The artist, album, and genre tags all remained correct.  In the most recent case, two songs from a compilation album had their artist and song title tags overwritten with the info from a third track on the same album (so I ended up with three songs with the same title and artist).
    Any idea what might be causing this apart from a crappy coding?

    If iTunes and WMP are referencing the same copy of the MP3, then a tag change in one will be reflected in the other. If that is not what you want, you will need separate copies of the song.
    Being picky, iTunes will write it's changes to the tag immediately (unless the file is locked as read-only) whereas WMP may choose to do it at some later point in time unless you use an option to "Apply media information changes". WMP will generally notice automatically that another appliation has modified the tag and updates it's library accordingly whereas iTunes only spots the change if it accesses the tag for some reason.
    If you want WMP & iTunes to play nicely together you are best off disabling the WMP options for "Rearrange music in the rip folder..." and "Automatic media information update..." (you can still do so manually). I also find it best to change the WMP rip folder to the same as the iTunes Music folder. Letting iTunes "Keep the music folder organised" is a matter of choice (I choose not) but at least WMP can cope if your files get shuffled around by iTunes whereas the reverse is not the case.

  • Hebrew Song titles and Artists appear as blank

    I want my iPod to show my Hebrew song titles and artists, as opposed to the blank (which makes it very hard to pick songs, as you might imagine).
    I understand that it comes out of the box without the capability to do so, but there was a fix for the old ipods on idigital.co.il. This fix however, does not work with 5th generation (I tried and the website says it doesn't). Why doesn't Apple just come out with an official fix? I figure it's something relatively easy to put out, no?
    (have latest itunes and ipod updates)

    sorry to say, but there isn't any third-party app that can fix that. you'll have to rename songs or live with it. you can send a request to apple to fix this in future software updates. here's the link:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodnano.html
    the iPod software list doesn't include the 4th Gen. but just click the most recent iPod 3rd Gen. software.

  • Can I Enlarge Title and Artist Text when Playing Music?

    Hello.  This question pertains to the 5th generation 32 GB iPod Touch.
    When playing music, I'd like to know if I can enlarge the text that displays the title and artist of the track now playing. 
    (I listen to my iPod in bed, but I wear contacts, and take them out at night.  I am unable to read the text clearly.)
    If there is a way to enlarge the text, what is the procedure?  Is a separate app required, or can I do it some other way?
    Thank you!   Jd

    After doing more research and playing with the iPod, I figured out what to do.  There's a trick to it.
    You double-tap the screen with three fingers.  On the second tap, you spread your three fingers out.  That enlarges the screen to almost any size you want.  Then, you use your three fingers to move the screen around.  The Zoom feature will memorize the customization, and will remain that size unless or until you change it.
    It's just a little bit tricky, but that's how I got it to do what I want.  Jd

  • Why can I not edit song titles and artists as I could in the past?

    Why can I not edit song titles and artists as I have in the past?

    Do you mean by using the 'get info' function and editing the data there? What is happening instead of what used to happen?

  • How do I copy playlist song titles and artists names to place in an e-mail

    There is an "export song list" option under "file" that I tried to use. It gives you an option of saving the text in "plain text," "unicode," or "XML" formats. I've tried all 3 and when I bring up the text in Word, its not organized in columns, its just one word after the next, with information I don't need like track numbers, date modified, etc. I don't want to have to go in and manually delete all the extraneous information. Is there a way to format the list in columns so that I could delete all but the song title and artist name for a 200 song list?

    Never mind, I figured it out. I went to "view options" under "edit." I deselected everything but artist, song, and album. I went to the playlist and opt-Aed the list, copy, and then pasted into the e-mail.

  • I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  Since then I can no longer burn MP3 Discs with Title and Artist Info.  Sometimes it only burns every 3rd song.  No Audio CD it seems to function OK.  The version has the "cloud" but I don't know if that matters or

    I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  I can no longer burn MP3 Disk with Song/Artist info onto disc.  It comes up as No Artist/No Title on car CD unit.  Old MP3 Disk previously recorded still show all info.  Sometimes only every 3rd song is on the MP3 CD.  On Audio Disc there is no change and all info still shows up.  The new I-Tunes version has the "cloud" on it if that could make a difference.  In the select Burn CD mode I can select testing and add song info for Audio Disk but it shows shadowed out for MP3/Data.  I added and removed ID tagging from my list to see if that made a difference but it didn't.
    Any Thoughts?

    This may help.  Audio files are actaully in the DATA folder.  These can be editted with Soundbooth then they must be imported intot the specific slide in the Powerpoint presentation.  Publish the presentation (as you'll read below) and *should* work This reply came from robva65 [email protected]
    Let's try this: *Publish* the PPT deck you have.  What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the *data folder* that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive)  Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
    Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3  As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck.  And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck.  I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
    So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier.  Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.
    Hope this helps ~rich

  • When i import a music cd it only does each track separately. why doesnt it recognize the title and artist anymore how do I fix this problem

    Im not sure what Im doing.  When I import a cd into my library it has not been recognizing the cd, artist or song name.  I have to go and enter songs for each track. I originally was able to import no problem.  What am I not doing now?

  • Having trouble editing song titles, album titles and artists names.

    does anyone know how this can be changed WITHOUT uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes? i was able to edit before but i'm not able to now....

    i have the same problem but i cannot change the permissions of the folder.
    it allows me to unlike the read only box and apply to all sub folders and files and click ok.
    But reopen it and check the permissions and its back to read only again.

  • After fixing all of the names and artists in iTunes their still the same on my iPhone?

    I just finished renaming song titles and artist names on my iTunes but they're still messed up on my iPhone. Only a few that I changed are correct. I autofilled the songs and they should have all synced into my iPhone but the songs on my phone still have incorrect artist names and song titles. I have no idea what's wrong. I've been at this for almost 3 hours.

    If your tags are correct in iTunes, but incorrect on your phone, you could try removing and resyncing your music library to your phone.  Open iTunes on your computer and verify that you have selected "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" in iTunes>Preferences>Advanced.  Connect your phone to iTunes, uncheck syncing music on the Music tab in your iTunes sync settings on your computer, sync (which will remove your music from your phone), recheck syncing music on the Music tab, sync again (to restore the music to your phone).  Hopefully you will get the correct tags on your phone now.

  • Album and artist title larger than other album titles?

    When viewing my music through grid view and sorting by albums one of the titles for one of my albums have a larger font size than any of the other in my library. It's not the selected or the currently played album. It's the first of a few albums of the same artist, but its only with this particular artist that this occurs. I've compared the "get info" tags on this album do the other by the same artist and they all seem to be the same. I have no idea why this is happening. I've tried the usual, restart, changing thumbnail size, tried different viewing modes etc etc.
    Anyone have any idea why this is?

    Hi David and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    Quit iTunes. This might be a corrupted iTunes preference file... locate this file: com.apple.iTunes.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to your Desktop. Launch iTunes, and look at that one album title and see if it's the correct font size. if it is, drag that .plist file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
    Post back if you need more help.

  • Can I edit artist, title, and description after accpeted to ITunes Store?

    If anyone could help, THANKS...
    I got accepted to ITunes Store for my new Podcast. But, i would like to change a few things before I start to advertise.
    I would love to trim the title, the artist is something that needs some adjusting, and so does the description. How do i log in to change any existing info?
    Thanks so much!
    b.quain

    If you're using iWeb to publish your podcast to iTunes, simply go to the webpage that you have the feed as, go to the inspector panel and click on the RSS tab, then podcast. There, you should be able to edit podcast author and several other info tags through your podcast.
    Publish after you make the changes and then use this link, just insert your podcast ID number as provided by iTunes:
    https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=INSERT YOUR PODCAST ID
    Clicking that link will update your feed with the store. You should see the changes immediately if not within the next couple hours.
    Hope that helps!

  • How do I remove all traces of  'album'? I do not want artwork, blank place holders, titles or artists sorted by album? I just want my music listed by title, artist or genre.

    How do I remove all traces of  'album'? I do not want artwork, blank place holders, titles or artists sorted by album? I just want my music listed by title, artist or genre.

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad
