Track Titles on Burnt CD's??

I have been burning CD's for a period of time. Many of them play on other machines.. Windows based machines and pull the information on the track titles and many of them do not. Any assistance on how to avoid this problem. I would like to import these "mix" cd's but without information like track title, artist, etc... it is difficult to think I am going to rekey each and every mix CD.
Any Assistance??

Apart from burning as an MP3 CD (with which the track
names etc. are stored as meta-data inside the MP3
files), the other option would be to burn using the
CD-TEXT standard. Unfortunately iTunes does not
support burning with this information (and for that
matter, many players including WMP for Windows do not
support reading it).
I use Toast (in Mac OS X) to burn audio CDs using
CD-TEXT, I am sure there are plenty of equivalent
packages for Windows.
However, I would agree MP3 format CDs is going to be
the simplest and most compatible option (although not
of as good audio quality).
As of September 12th and the release of iTunes 7, iTunes
will now burn Audio CDs with CD-Text included (check in preferences). This applies to iTunes on both Mac and Windows.

  • Music album cover images and track titles show on iPhone 4s but music doesn't play - any ideas?

    I am a Young at Heart Senior, new to iPhone 4s, have an old creaking pc with Windows XP Home.....but plan to enter the real world any day soon by buying a new Mac!
    Here is my problem, I purchased an album on iTunes and mistakenly started to sync it to my phone, (although I don't have iCloud loaded on my pc). I stopped it mid download and later noticed that the total track numbers were showing as a red number above the "more" button as if they were waiting to complete the download. It stayed there while I thought about it for a few days, but when I click the Album button all the tracks are listed.
    Now to the funny part.....when I click on a track or indeed any of them, it doesn't play a sound...but the progress bar above moves as if "now playing".
    So, I thought.... no problem, I would connect the phone up to iTunes and delete the tracks....but when I do so, this album and none of it's track titles show in my music list for the phone......weird.
    So, I have a large album with titles only on my phone, no music behind the titles (which, incidentally, is rubbish anyway) and I can't get rid of it off my phone, any of you young whizzy iPhoners have any ideas how to clear it off???
    I did think I might just Restore my phone, but wondered whether downloading all my stuff from iCloud would still include the dreaded  "Now That's What I Call Christmas" album, which I only purchased in late 2011 to play at a seniors Xmas party...........you live and learn!
    You will guess from my ramblings that I am not at all techy, but consider myself willing to learn and apart from this hiccup........I luuuurve my iPhone!

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • Can I change track titles?

    A friend gave me an iPod as a gift and it was loaded with a bunch of songs from our high school grad year. Some of the songs he purchased from iTunes and when I tried to sync it on my computer it would never let me without erasing the iPod because of those purchased songs. I tried, several times, to add my computer (or whatever it was) like I was prompted but that never worked. So my friend burned the playlist onto an audio CD for me (actually it took 4 cd's) so I could just import them into iTunes. Well, that worked, but the title of all the songs turned into track 1, track 2, etc. for each disk. So now, when I sync them over to the iPod I won't have any idea which song is about to play. Is there a way to edit the track titles?

    Because iTunes songs cannot be transferred to another person. The song has the account info of whoever purchased it, embedded into the song file.

  • Rename Track Titles from Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, ... to 1a, 1b, 1b

    I have an audiobooks album let say 7 Disc.
    I want to rename the track titles (ID3) track names from Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, to 1a, 1b, 1c,...., Disc 2->2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, ..., Disc 3->3a, 3b, 3c, 3d...
    I am not interested in using Get Info to manually change the Track name. Is there some type of Itunes Add on for Itunes Windows or some alternative program to rename the Track names.
    I found program call reNamer and Magic File Renamer 6.12. They rename the file name not the track name.

    I forgot I had this tool -- it's something I wrote before I made the audiobook helper I already linked to you in my last message.
    This program reads the track number and disc number from the ID3 tag and renames the track name exactly as you want (1a, 1b, 1c ... 2a, 2b, 2c... etc.).
    So, select the tracks in iTunes you want to rename, then run the EXE. I've included the perl source code in the zip. If you have perl installed you can run it directly; otherwise view it in a text editor.
    I'm hosting this on my "old" google site because I've run out of space on my normal homepage:

  • Import CD Track Title to iTune

    Finally I fixed the problem of not able to import audio CD to iTune by changing the registry. There still remain the problem of not being able to import the track title. I used iTune in Windows XP. Can anybody help?

    Be careful when you reinstall the iTunes. Sometimes, you can't get the iTunes back. I mean, you can't reinstall it back and you will get some errors with the installation.

  • I have a printing cd cover problem the track titles overprint and I can't read the track titles, what can I do please

    I have a problem when printing cd covers, which has only just started happening, the track titles overprint so I can't resd them correctly, what can I do to fix this please.

    When I try and open my original catalog, I get the following error:
    Lightroom encountered an error when reading from the preview cache and needs to quit. 
    Lightroom will attempt to fix this error the next time it launches.
    But, when Lightroom opens, the error shows again and the program crashes. I created another catalog that does open, but occasionally the same error occurs and the program crashes.  This is happening many times per day.

  • Modified Track Titles Revert back to Original Titles

    Purchase Track in iTunes
    Modify the title to something else
    Observed Bug:
    Modified Track Titles revert back to the original Title after time. Playing the track or requesting track info will reset back to the modified title. but eventually the title will revert again to the original title that it was in the iTunes Store.
    I do not have iTunes Match on, this only happens to Tracks purchased in iTunes.
    Anybody have any suggestions to avoid this Apple BUG?

    People in other threads have speculated that any kind of communications with Apple's servers can be at fault, including the Cloud, Genius, automatic downloads, sharing info with Apple, and even making store purchases.
    It might very well be a combination of any of these (like maybe it could happen if you make a purchase but only if you have automatic downloads on). I don't know.
    I have not experienced the problem since I turned the Cloud option off. Here are my current settings:
    Show Cloud purchases: off (turned off when I started having play count and metadata issues)
    Genius: off (never liked it, and it caused long sync times)
    Automatic downloads: off (just annoyed me; I want control of what to sync where and when)
    Share info with Apple: on (never thought about this option, so I left it alone)
    And I have made quite a few purchases from the store with these settings and no ill effects.

  • Importing problem - Squares after track titles.

    Whenever I try importing my (rather extensive) music folder into iTunes, I get squares after all the track titles. It imports those onto my iPod as well. It's hard to explain, so here is a picture

    Not all SWF files will successfully import as movie files. How are you setting up your Flash project? Have you ever had this workflow be successful before? Did you try turning your SWF into a FLV file? If you can get your fine to work the first time (last bullet point) why not render it out with an alpha chanel so you don't have to mess with SWF files in the rest of your workflow. That's what I would do.

  • ITunes cutting of song/track titles at 30 characters

    So I updated to itunes 11.1 for Windows 7 64-Bit today. And I added a bunch of tracks right after I updated. However, when I go to right click -> get info on the tracks, it cuts the track titles down to 30 characters. And here's another thing, it doesn't do it on the tracks that were imported BEFORE the update. So, anybody have a clue as to what to do? Because it's around 40-50 tracks, and I don't feel like going through all 40-50 and redoing the titles.

    Wow, what a super-helpful forum. Guess I'll look elsewhere...

  • Missing CD Track Titles

    I composed some music with Garageband and I want to burn them to a music CD but when I do this the track titles are missing once the CD gets burned... is there something that I'm doing wrong? I burned it as a music CD should I change it to an MP3?
    Thanks!

    Tracknames are not part of CDDA definitions
    But what you can do to make your disk recognized by CDDB: After having burned your disk from iTunes Menu Advanced select "Submit CD Track Names".
    After that it will take some hour or a few days but after that CDDB will identify your disk.
    As iTunes under normal conditions keeps track of burned CDs, you can do that at any time on the machine where the CD has been created.

    Apple has said ( http://www.apple.com/iphone/preview-iphone-os/ ) that 3.0 will let read and compose email and text messages in landscape.
    We'll just have to wait and see what that means.

  • Tip: Track Titles listed twice

    I've noticed this sometimes when I open the track list for an album, iTunes will show duplicate titles as follows. The astrisks are the Ratings column.
    Example for album Foreigner - 4
    1. Night Life                              *****
    1. Night Life
    2. Juke Box Hero                      *****
    2. Juke Box Hero
    3. Break It Up                            *****
    3. Break It Up
    etcetera.
    This is good if you want iTunes to play every song twice. However the only way I know to remove the duplicate listings is one at a time.
    1. Right Click on the 2nd listing of the pair.
    2. From the menu, select "Delete".
    3. From the popup select "Delete Song".
    Here's the IMPORTANT part.
    4. From the next popup, select "KEEP SONG FILE".
    I went through this album making the MISTAKE of thinking there were also duplicate song files and selecting the 'move to recycle bin' option. The SONG FILES ARE NOT DUPLICATED! ONLY THE TITLES.
    Afterwards, I had one listing for each title, but iTunes could not locate the song files.
    Luckily I was able to quickly get to the Recycle Bin, Select those song files and RESTORE them! Whew!

    I am having the same problem also . I've been loading cd's on to i-tunes for about 8 hours today and just the last ten or so cd's will only display track 1 , 2 , 3 etc . I get no artist ,album , now song information . I hope someone can help us . Also these are not burnt cd's , these are baught from the store and should display correct info . Is it when my library got so full it stopped displaying the tracks or what?? i need to know what im playing when im dj'ing a set.This also was not during an update it had been up to date for a couple weeks atleast i believe .

  • My CD track titles no longer show up on Windows Media Player; just Track 1, Track 2, etc. Is there a setting to correct this?

    No matter which CD I play on my computer (using Windows Media Player), the title shows "Unknown Album", and each track is listed a s Track 1, 2, etc. instead of showing the song title. When I click on "Find album info", a message pops up saying "You must change your privacy settings in Tools, Options, to update information about the audio media you have selected". I don't see anything in the Privacy tab that has to do with audio media. All of this began when I changed to Firefox. I'm using Version 3.6.12

    The Tools|Options it is talking about are those listed in WMP not FF.

  • View track title in collapsed track in Premiere Pro CC

    Premiere Pro CC on a Mac.
    Is there a way to be able to view the title of a track when it's collapsed?  Right now the only thing i can figure out is to expand it enough to be able to see the title I've given it which kind of stinks when there are a bunch of tracks.  Thanks for any input!

    Click the wrench for the sequence and select Customize Video Header...
    Then just move the name up to the top line.

  • Motion tracking titles in Premiere Pro CC 2014?

    I love the addition of motion tracking to effects in Premiere CC 2014 — but does anyone have a way of using them to track a clip (in my case a title)? I've got a promotional mini-doc I'm working on for a client, and have nice little animated titles popping up next to interview subjects (no lower thirds because there will be subtitles). I think pinning those to a visual element in the background would look great.
    I tried putting a garbage matte as an effect on the title, then turning on the tracking feature, and creating a box around the item I wanted the title to track to. No dice.
    Anyone have any suggestions, or do I need to go through third party software for this to work?

    Hi misidunai,
    Use the 3D Camera Tracker in After Effects. Check out this video tutorial.
    Thanks,
