View Movies by Artist / Album tag info

I recently converted several home movies to apple format and synced to my IPOD Classic 80GB. These videos work pefectly and play fine from the IPOD! (this is the good news)
The bad news is that I spent a lot of time editing tag information about these movies, and in iTunes it lets me navigate using this information, but on the iPod it does not. It lists all the videos in alphabetical order. I have one big list. I was hoping to be able to search by Artist/Album just like music is done.
I noticed Music Videos are sortable this way, anyone know what setting i can use to make these music videos? I do not want to do this, but will if that is my only option.
Thanks!

No, that's why I suggested the alternative of using TV Shows. I suppose you could change the artist to something like *Artist \[Vids]* so that all music videos end up in a separate menu for the artist

  • How to move all pictures, albums & tags from 1 computer to another.

    Bought a new computer and don't want to lose all the work I did cataloging etc in Elements.  Need to copy all pictures (17,000) over as well as all the tags & albums etc in Element to the new computer.  Also, I am going from Elements 5 (Vista) on my old Computer to Elements 8 (Win 7) on my new PC.  What are the steps needed to do this? 
    Should I first copy all the pictures over to the new computer in a folder.
    Then backup Elements 5 on the old computer.
    Then copy the elements 5 backup file to the new computer and restore that file into Elements 8?

    You need to use back-up and restore.

  • ITunes not writing tag info to file

    Recently iTunes hasn't been writing the tag info to the mp3 files when I import a new cd. I've never had a problem with this until recently.
    I'm using iTunes 6.0.5 on a Intel Mini 1.66 with OS 10.4.6. When I insert a new disc it shows the proper track, artist, album, etc info. It titles the tracks correctly and puts them in my iTunes library correctly. However, when I check the tag info in MediaRage it shows nothing! I don't think it's a problem with MediaRage because I tried to import the cds on my Powerbook and they import fine.
    I discovered this when I recently needed to reformat my music harddrive. When I copied the files back into iTunes a bunch of tracks came up as unknown artist and album. When I checked them furhter I found they were the last 6 or 7 cds I had imported. So they went into iTunes initially with the correct info, but the tag info hadn't been written, so when I reimported them iTunes organized them into the unknown folder.
    I've been able to work around this by using the convert id3 tags command immediately after importing a new cd. Then all the info shows up correctly in MediaRage. But I shouldn't have to do this extra step! I've updated to the latest version of iTunes in case the last version was corrupted somehow. That didn't help. I've looked for the iTunes preferences file but can't find it.
    So sorry for the long ramble but I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution or even anyone else mentioning this problem.
    HELP!

    It's difficult to say what's causing this problem, although at this moment in time there still seem to be a lot of bugs with various software when running on Intel-based Macs.
    Unfortunately, for some odd reason, iTunes writes ID3 v. 2.2 tags by default rather than the more acceptable v. 2.3 (or even 2.4). You might try ripping your CDs with Max using the provided (LAME) MP3 encoder. You should get more accurate rips to start with (using the paranoia ripper), and the highest qualtiy MP3s using the superior LAME encoder. Your files will have ID3 v. 2.4 tags written to them. You can also configure Max, in its preferences, to add files directly to your iTunes library upon encoding for perfect integration with iTunes. Hopefully this will work well for you and your files will retain their metadata.

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

    Three issues here.  The pre-pending is useless when selecting songs to play, plus it.takes up much of the admittedly limited space in my on-screen menu.  Since it doesn't help me select a song to play, it simply prevents more relevant info from being displayed in that area.  However, there is a second area on the menu that is designed to list title, artist and album but those fields are blank - despite I-tunes inclusion of the info in the xferred files.
    JCP,
    Regarding the tags, on an MP3 CD iTunes simply burns whatever is embedded in the MP3 file.  From your description, it sounds like the Onkyo is seeing the filenames but not the tags, which does seem strange.  You may want to try the question in an Onkyo forum.
    If you don't need the pre-pended serial number, and don't care about the sequence, you can burn from iTunes as a data CD instead of an MP3 CD.

  • Tagging Artists /// Album Artist

    Friends,
    happy new year everyone.
    I've never understood the difference between the tagging options artists and *album artists* which are listed in windows folder options.
    Apparently iTunes does not recognize any difference, since it uses the default option *artist album* when I import a Cd into iTunes and when it's me taggign the album, whether I tag the option artists or album artist, iTunes lists the albumm together with the right artists correctly, regardless of which option I chose.
    Can I anybody confirm whether tagging one thing or another (or both) is actually the same?
    Or, on the contrary, if I have done wrong so far and I should tag both boxes?
    Thanks in advance
    Beppe

    Check my previous post. If you treat Album Artist the way you've been looking at Artist this should sort things out. It's tragic bc it will take a long time to switch that over.
    Album Artist is usually labeled the same as Artist bc n artist is susually on 100% of their songs. This however changes on an album where that artist allows another artist to feature without them. The result is a Herbie Hancock song, without Herbie on it, instead his featured Christina Aguilera.
    Now.... If you were to search for Christina, you'd never get this one song as a result Your way. BUT if the Album artist remains Herbie, and the Artist is Christina, it'll sort better.

  • Petition : View by (artist/album/etc) option for playli

    the songs in my player are of two languages, so I have two playlists for songs of each language. Each of these playlists consists of thousands of songs. So selecting specific songs while playing any playlist becomes a big headache, since I cant search the playlist according to artist or album.
    I would love to have the 'view by' functionality for playlists also, something that can make big playlists look like libraries.
    So, if u ppl agree with me please sign!

    I am talking about the player not the software.
    Saving different libraries definitely comes handy if ur collection contains songs of multiple languages, and u want to organise them separately. By giving playlists the option of viewing by artist/album/genre, ur basically turning the playlists into libraries.

  • Is it possible to view ".mp3" files in Mavericks "Tags" windows by file name (rather than the info in the "name" field of it's ID3 tag)?

    Short version:
    When viewing ".mp3" files in a "Tags" window, the information in the "name" column next to the file defaults to the information in the "song" field in the file's ID3 tag.
    Is it possible to change have the "name" column display the actual FILE NAME instead?
    I did some research and found nothing.
    Long version
    Let's say I have a ".mp3" file named "Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me.mp3"
    When I open the folder this ".mp3" is in and find the file, the "name" column will read "Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me.mp3" (of course)
    Now, I tag the file "jams"
    Now I go to my "jams" tag view everything tagged "jams", the "name" column in that window DOES NOT say
    "Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me.mp3" , but instead just "Hello It's Me"
    The finder seems to be pulling this information from the "name" field of the ".mp3" ID3 tag metadata (aka, the information that would be written in the "name" column when viewing the file in iTunes.)
    Ok, that's fine Mavericks, but I want to see the ACTUAL FILE NAME of my ".mp3", (which "tags" windows seems to do for most other things [documents, folders])
    Q: Is it possible to display the filename of a ".mp3" file when viewing a "tag window?"
    Tags are super useful, but this inconsistency makes it inefficient, distracting, and confusing to move freely between the window for a given "tag", and a normal "finder" window.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I think you have to avoid editing inside the tags list with the 'metadata names'. Instead right click an item, select 'Open enclosing folder'.
    In 'real folders' you can enable the 'Title' in column via the 'Veiw Menu > show columns', that way you can see the file name & ID3/ EXIF titles.
    'Fake folders' (smart searches & the recent tags list) don't feel finished yet IMO.

  • In song view, order by artist then album year?

    Is there a way, in Songs View, to order the songs first alphebetically by artist and then chronologically by album year? The default for Songs View is alphabetically by artist and then alphabetically by album title. Can this be changed? I'm using 11 for Windows but would switch to any version that supported this. Thanks for any help!

    Clicking on the heading of the Album column cycles through three options:
    Album
    Album by Artist
    Album by Artist/Year
    The last of these should meet your needs,  I actually use a different approach which is to define the Sort Album value for every album to be "<sort artist name> yyyymmdd", where the latter part is the date of release (or, for some live albums, recording date).  This has the advantage of listing albums in "correct" chronological order even in cases where an artist has multiple releases in a single calendar year.

  • When viewing multiple item information, I was wondering what the checkboxes next to "Artist", "Album Artist", etc... are used for.

    When viewing multiple item information, I was wondering what the checkboxes next to "Artist", "Album Artist", etc... are used for.

    When checked, it means that you are going to apply whatever is in the box to all of the selected items.

  • Viewing Artists / Albums in a playlist

    This is really annoying me;
    When I create and then select a playlist in itunes I can view all the artists and album information as normal.
    But when I select that playlist on my ipod I am just presented with track names.
    Is there a way of changing this so that I can open a playlist and then select an album or artist?
    Cheers in advance.

    No.

  • Organize iTunes file list by Directory Structure instead of artist/album?

    Hello, I have searched for different audio players for os x which might have this feature but so far have had no luck. What I'm looking for is a feature similar to that of foobar2000 for win32 where I can organize my music by directory structure without the iTunes automatic organization by artist/album. Is there a way I can accomplish this in iTunes with some sort of xml config or hidden options? Thanks.

    You don't have to have iTunes move music around on your hard drive (Preferences>Advanced>General, uncheck Keep iTunes Music folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library) but I suspect that's not what you're asking. You can't automatically view music from within iTunes by directory structure. iTunes organizes by ID3 tags ("mp3 tags"). You could, I suppose, spend a lot of time replicating your directory structure by using folders and playlists within iTunes but you'd probably have to do it all by hand.

  • Search not finding artists in various artist albums

    Using "Search Library" in iTunes 11.0.1, if an artist is in an album of various artists, search will not find this artist even if the artist tag is filled out in the Get Info box.
    Same thing if you select the Artist tab at the top of the screen, artists that are in various artists albums will not show up in the list. This can't be right, right?

    Switch to the one without artwork - List - and make sure that the Grouping is visible. Now switch back to *Album List* view. I think you will find that search matches with items in the grouping field now.
    It seems that the problem goes back to introduction of the separate "List" & "Album List" views around iTunes 10.0.1 - see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2614427&start=0&tstart=0
    Essentially text in certain columns is meant to be excluded from search when those fields are hidden however in this case iTunes is reading visibility from one view while another view displays the column in question, on screen, in front of your eyes. It is very counter-intuitive.
    Note that after switching views and enabling/disabling columns you also need to edit any existing search term you have entered in order for the results to be updated.

  • MP3s not visible in Artist/Album

    I added an album from run-d.m.c. to my phone via the file manager.
    Did a refresh and it said added 19 new songs. I can see/play them in my genre list and in my content search and in file manager.
    However When I go to the usual Artist/Album view it does not show. These songs have full proper V1 and V2 id tags with covers just like all my other music.
    umm... confused?
    ps. what is the private folder people are deleting now a days to fix these problems?
    White 808 Pureview NAM
    Black N8 NAM
    Silver N95-3 NAM

    Are you sure the details are all correct on tracks' there should be a section in Artists something like 'Unknown' or Various. Just check the original folder properties on your computer and see if the Album tile and artist are correct. May be an idea to run it through Windows Media Player and 'find album info' just to check it's correct !
    Good Luck
