Track Info Issues

Is their a way that you can change the language when you import cd's into itunes? I try to import my anime soundtracks into itunes and some of the songs have the little squares that translates into that language. In my case, the tracks are in japanese. If anyone knows how to resolve this problem. Please let me know. Thanks for the help.

How to sync the album and track info that I entered into a CD using iTunes with the actual disc?

Hello,
I recently recorded some cover songs, and I imported them into iTunes. So, after entering the track info (track names and album art) into each track using "Get Info", I burned them to a CD. I was completely shocked that the track info and album artwork did not get inputted onto the CD. So, I entered the track info, but could not add the album artwork.
How to add the album artwork is not as important a question. But it's one of my 2.75 questions.
My other issue is that the info that I put on the CD using iTunes is only visible within iTunes. Therefore, I cannot get the track names elsewhere.
My 2.5 questions are:
1) How do I get the track and album info to display in Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player (and the touchscreen CD Player in the car)?
2) How do I add digital album artwork to the CD (so that it shows on the touchscreen CD Player in the car - if iPods have the artwork and it shows on the car's screen, a CD should be able to show the artwork on the car's screen, when talking about limitations of the car)
2.5) How do I make that artwork display across everywhere I plug that disc into?
2.75) How do I ensure that when others import my CD, my artwork, track names, and album name also import from the CD?
I have already burnt the CD, so I would prefer a way to tweak the properties of the already burnt CD rather than burning a whole new disc.
Thank you!

1) Metadata visibility in Windows Explorer and/or Windows Media Player depends on OS version and file type. The mp3 format has the widest support. As for the touchscreen CD Player in your car who can say? If it can play data discs the results will be better than with audio CD. If it can display CD text then this option should be selected when creating an audio CD.
2) Artwork cannot be attached to the tracks on an audio CD. If your car system supports it all then it will be with data discs. Check the specifications of the system for the media types it can support on a data disc.
2.5) Simply ensure the artwork is embedded in the tag.
I have two scripts that can help with this, CreateFolderArt and EmbedFolderArt.
The scripts have a slightly different purpose.
CreateFolderArt ensures that every album folder ends up with a Folder.jpg image which is the art that iTunes already knows about. Side effects are that if artwork has been updated in iTunes the folder art should be updated also, and if any track from the album doesn't have embedded artwork it gets embedded.
EmbedFolderArt was actually written for someone who already had various artwork images stored in the folders and wanted them added to their tracks, but not if iTunes had already downloaded a better quality image.
2.75) Again, use a data disc format. Note that you should not be giving away copies of copyrighted material.
Audio CDs are finalized, you cannot change any properties of them unless they are on rewritable media in which case you can erase the whole disc and start over.

I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows. This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10. Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

Can't edit track info on some tracks...

I've had this issue since iTunes 7.5, now I'm using 7.6.
Lately I've been having problems when trying to edit track info in iTunes. Some tracks info field is greyed out and I therefore I can't make any changes to these tracks. Often it's tracks from an album where the other tracks are fully editable. When I choose show info in Finder on these specific tracks, only "System" has read and write access to the file. If I try to add myself (admin) Finder crashes and restarts. I've tried to change ID3 tags in iTunes but I'm told that the file is protected. I've also tried to change ID3 tags in MP3 Rage but to no help, it doesn't change anything in iTunes.
I'm not really sure if this is a problem due to my OS 10.5 rather than iTunes, since I'm having the same issues with other kind of files e.g. pictures imported from my digi cam. When trying to rotate a picture in picture wiever and saving it, I'm told that I don't have the necessary permissions. And then again if I try to give myself read and write access Finder crashes.
I've tried to repair disk permissions but are told that no repairs are necessary.
All n all my Mac has been behaving strangely since upgrading to 10.5 (and now 10.5.1). Besides the issues described above, I'm experiencing "strange" things, such as volumes not being mounted, program and document icons changing, when trying to move a file (within folders on my internal drive) it's being copied instead of moved, and so on...
I'mreally desperate for a little help, as I haven't got a clue about what's going on.
TIA for any input.

Ok just randomly solved this problem.I checked the iPhone and found the manually manage the music was unchecked. Checking this fixes things, but everytime I plug my iPhone into the computer it unchecks it again. Yet another reason NOT to upgrade to iTunes 11.

Burned CD's display wrong track info and include profanity

My wife burned a cd for me about a week ago from her itunes library on a 2007 macbook. When I inserted it into my 2007 macbook pro the cd track info was completely different than what she burned. The music was write, just not the track info. We recently tried burning another cd to use at our church for pre-service music. When we imported that cd into the computer the track names and info included profanity in them. A bit embarrassing at that moment. Can someone help me figure out what would cause this issue?

When a CD is inserted into iTunes, the times of the tracks are analyzed and sent to a service called Gracenote, which attempts to match it with CDs in its database. You had the misfortune that your track pattern matched something different in Gracenote's DB. This is not common but it can occur, especially on CDs with only one or a small number of tracks.
To avoid the problem, play the CD in a boom-box instead of on your Macbook, so that nothing will display. If you prefer to use your Macbook, get the original files from your wife and play them directly in iTunes. Then you can be sure the correct titles will display.

Track order issues

I'm having this trouble with itunes and track orders:
Lately all cds that I've added to my collection got the wrong track order, the last song showing right after the first. I'm pretty sure all tracks share the same metadata for artist, album artist, album, etc.
So for this CD with 8 tracks the order itunes shows is 1-8-2-3-4-5-6-7. Same for two cds with 10 tracks (1-10-2-3..). I tried changing the artist/album info for the misplaced track but it always goes back to the wrong order when I fix it.
And oddly this only happens when I sort by album by artist. The order is correct when I sort by album only.
Any ideas?
Thanks

on the iPod: there's an album that appears 3 times on iPod with exactly the same songs while in itunes it's fine! what the **** is this? Can anyone help me?
Likely you just need to do a restore on the iPod, let it format and resync and it should be fine.

since i have a 8Gb iPod nano 3G and a 20Gb AND I would like to use the automatic Sync with the iPod i created a new library in iTunes where i'll have only 8Gb of stuff. Seems like a good idea to just plug the iPod and it syncs automatically with the stuff I've already chosen,
No that is a fairly inefficient way to do it. iTunes can tell your iPods apart, so all you have to do is sync them to the same library and for the Nano, set it up to sync a playlist of what you want.
Instead of creating a whole new library, just create a playlist in iTunes with that same set of music in it. Not only will you only have one library, but you can now easily add things or delete thing from that playlist out of your main library.
Then plug in the Nano and set it up to sync only that playlist. Simple!

Just another thing... can any of you advise me on a good auto-MP3 tagger application (for free!)?? I had a really good one for WinXP - Magic MP3 Tagger - but it's not available for Mac and i think it would resolve the track ordering issues!
iTunes is free and is a pretty good MP3 tagger.

Verizon rep told me that the tracking info doesnt matter until we get an email from fedex?

About 4 reps said the shipped/not shipped info doesnt mean anything but if it wasnt a pre order, when it would have shiped. And to not trust it until you get an email from fedex.
So everyone shouldnt worry if it says processing, you will still get it.
And for the ones that say shipped, dont get too excited until around the 7th lol.
I really wish verizon wireless in general would confirm this though.

Did you call CS 4 times to ask the same question? I don't recall ever getting an email from Fedex for ANYTHING I've ever ordered online from Verizon or anywhere...unless I've requested on the fedex website to be emailed when I did the tracking...but I had the tracking # from the company I ordered from first.
Also, you may want to leave CS alone with the "when will this ship" business...there are people having computer issues trying to place orders and they're getting inundated with "when will this ship?" when the confirmations clearly say 2/10/11. If your order says it's been shipped then AT LEAST give it 24 hours to see if you get a tracking # before you call.
I mean seriously, most of us have waited for years for the iphone...can we wait just 1 more week?
You get an email from Fedex? Or from the company? I don't think I've ever received an email from Fedex directly...I've gotten emails from the company I'm ordering from with a link to the fedex website and the tracking info, but never from fedex...

HELP!! Volume slider dimmed in track info--using Shure 8900W mic + iMic

After much back and forth at the Apple Retail store, I was talked into buying a Shure 8900W microphone plus a Griffin iMic for recording vocals in GB3. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Tiger (10.4.7).
I've done all the right stuff--in both system preferences and GB preferences the iMic is recognized and selected. I know GB recognizes and hears the mic because I see the feedback in the track, but the sound isn't coming out.
I've noticed that the volume slider in track info is dimmed, and I can't seem to do anything to change that. Is that the problem? Can I do anything short of buying a whole new mic?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is the monitor (in the Track Info) switched on or off? Have you checked what driver is being used for audio output (in the GB prefs)? If you can confirm that sound is being picked up/recorded by the mic (either by seeing the green/orange/red level monitor respond to input, or by seeing recorded regions with audio waveforms displayed), then it should be some relatively simple setting somewhere that's keeping you from hearing stuff.
Sound is definitely being picked up/recorded by the mic. I do see the monitor responding to input, and the waveforms are registering sound when I use the mic. I just can't find the relatively simple setting that is keeping me from hearing stuff.
Interestingly, after I posted this help message, I connected my mic and iMic to my PowerBook and was able to easily record and playback in GB. Does this issue have something to do with the Intel transition?
Thanks for all your feedback.

Not automatically accessing Gracenote for track info - but it WAS!

Hope that someone can help me. I have a new MB with Leopard 10.5.2
I have been ripping music and up to tonight it was automatically getting track names. I have not done anything or changed anything - I was in the middle of a ripping session and then for no reason, it was not accessing Gracenotes for the track info. Sure I can do it manually but that is a real pain - especially when it WAS working perfectly and no other app was in use, only iTunes.
Itunes prefs, says that it is checked to automatically get the track info, I have done restart, repair permissions, quit, restart - all to no avail.
Any suggestions please woul dbe most welcome!

Hi All,
I was also experiencing this problem so I emailed the Gracenotes support ([email protected]) and advised them that myself and multiple others were experiencing this problem. Here is the reply:
+Hi James,+
+Thank you so much for your letter. We've been working on this all day+
+and it looks like we've resolved the issue.+
+Please restart your application (and if that doesn't help, just restart+
+the computer) and try again. I'm hoping you'll see this has been+
+resolved. If it hasn't, please write me back and tell me who your ISP is+
+and anything else that you think might assist me (Windows or Mac, etc.)+
+Please feel free to post if it's now resolved for you with the notice+
+that others should likewise restart.+

As I am at work at the moment I haven't been able to check if it's working yet, but I will be checking as soon as I get home.

Song volume drops when I edit track info

Just ran into a strange hiccup.
I recorded a song, saved it as an AAC audio file, dragged it into iTunes.
The song plays just fine in iTunes but obviously the track info is incomplete -- the name is the name of the file I saved and there is no artist, no album, no artwork, bla bla bla. So I did the "Get Info" thing and made the needed edits.
But -- and now it gets weird -- when I play the song with more info the volume is much diminished.
I can increase the volume under Options in Get Info but something ain't right.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello Andy, You're not talking to Apple here, this is a user-to-user forum.
I don't really understand your issue....do you mean the track number in the column Track# disappears, the x of y thing?

Loosing track info when transferring music

I've suddenly started loosing track info when transferring music.
I can take a cd, copy it to My Collection (M4A, Mobile Optimised) and all the info is displayed ok. When I transfer it to my phone (N70) the track data is lost and all music is dumped into the Unknown Artist folder, yet it still shows ok in the phone folder on Music Manager on the PC. Bizarrely, previous tracks that have the correct Artist/Album etc on the phone do not show correctly in the phone folder in Music Manager.
Any clues as to what's going on? I've used Nokia Manager many times before without this problem.

HELP ! Audio won't load. itunes grabs (imports) cd track info only

re: an ipod mini on a winXP system. Used this mini just fine on a win2000 box. That box died, am now on an XP system. its an older computer (pentium I, 256 RAM)but is up to date with service pack 2 and all the critical updates. Installed itunes 7.
Now the mini won't work with itunes. Put cd in and itunes loads up the track info but wont take the audio part. ipod syncs up the playlist info as displayed in itunes with no audio. CD's add to the library as track info only without the audio. Had itunes v.4 on there before v7 and had the SAME PROBLEM so dont think its a version issue.
ANY SUGGESTIONS TO FIX THIS? HELP PLEASE - THANKS!

so if you don't mind, let's try doing some basic research.

My Garageband 09 track info pane is not refreshing

I've recently opened some imported projects on my Garageband '09 and for a little while my track info pane updates as expected, but shortly after starting to work on the project it stops displaying Real Instrument and Master Track adjustable settings and windows. I can hover over where they are supposed to be and click to get them to pop up, but I can't see what's there, if they are on or off, etc.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to get it to refresh normally? I have never had this issue in the past working with other files from the same batch.
Running a 09 macbook pro 13" with 10.8.2, using an M-Audio iControl. 8GB ram, at least 5 free during the run.

Problem finding track info

While visiting a friend, I burned a stack of cds on his computer from his itunes. All of the track info was displayed in his itunes. However, any cd that I burned with tracks from more than one album shows Track 01, Track 02, etc. and says the info could not be found online. Yet I know they're in the gracenote database.
The track info displays fine on the discs that contain only one album, but not if tracks came from more than one. I'd rather not have to enter the info manually, and he lives half way across the country. Any ideas? Thank you

Gracenotes determines that track information by looking at the table of contents of the CD which acts as a fingerprint of sorts to determine which album it MIGHT be. So in other words, you insert the CD and Gracenotes looks for an album with, for example, 10 tracks (that narrows it down a lot) with an over all length of 32 minutes and 58 seconds (that narrows it down considerably) with track one being 2:48, track two being 1:20, .... etc. As you can see, this usually narrows it down to which album it is, as there is unlikely to be multiple albums with the exact same table of contents lengths.
So when you were stealing music from your friend's computer, if you added or subtracted any tracks or changed the order of the track, then the TOC no longer matches and Gracenotes can not determine which albums you stole. So you will just have to manually enter in the information for the stolen music.
Now had you BOUGHT the CDs, you wouldn't have this issue.

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.
