Viewing name of album / songs iTunes

hi, I dont see where and how iTunes recognises the name of album and songs. When I import, the only thing thats mentionned is track1, track2 etc..
Can someone advice me how I can put the names, so that I can properly import them afterwards to my brand new iPod.
thanks much

and even when I go to advanced - get Cd track names :
the error msg =
"unable to connect to the CDDB server. the network connection was refused. make sure your internet connection is active and your network settings are correct."
so what to do ?

HT203163 Every time I try to load an CD into the library it just creates more repeat tracks to tracks 01 - 1? and when I click on the track to get the name or album artwork iTunes tells me to log into the store and I do but it doesn't seem to go anywhere

Anyone have an idea as to why when I try to Import one of my CDs tiTunes just makes a track out of each song and doesnt name the track or the album. This creates a problem when I want to load all of my albums/CDs into iTunes to transfer to my iPod Nano.

When a CD shows up in iTunes (before importing), iTunes should ask Gracenote for information about the album and fill all that in for you. It sounds as though that's not happening.
Check Edit/Preferences/General>when you import a CD: and make sure there is a tick-in-the-box named Automatically retrieve track names from the internet. If that is already selected, then you need to check that your iTunes can connect to the internet when you insert the CD into the drive.
You do not need to sign into the Store for this to happen. To get the artwork for your CDs, just search for the album online and copy-and-paste the picture into the album once it's in your iTunes Library.

Is there any possible way to set your itunes to just show the album name without the songs included in the album in artist view. and then be able to select the album to expand all the songs. this would be ideal as I have many albums under certain artists

I use to use windows media player. The layout was great. It would have icons (one of the album artwork inside the folder) for the artists. you could click on the artist and it would have the icons for all of the albums (similar to itunes) however it would not have all the songs included in that album listed underneath or within it. you had to click on the icon for the album to go into that particular album to view the songs. In my personal opinion this was much easier to search for a particular album especially if you had many albums under one artist as I do. I collect live concert recordings for several particular bands. It would be really nice if itunes would allow you to contract the songs names within each album under artist view and have some way to exand them or open a seperate album folder when clicking on the album name through artist view. is this even possible. does anyone know a way to allow this is happen. you would make a serious music collector very happy. I know this is a crazy request but for people who are serious music collectors like myself with over a TB of music it is much easier to consolidate each individual album under each individual artist for faster searching/viewing needs

You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

10.1 Grid View Album Song "Name" Column Gone?

In 10.1, Grid View, when an Album is selected and its individual tracks are shown, the "Name" column is no longer visible and there is no way to turn it back on, either in the contextual menu accessed by right-clicking in the column header or in View > View Options (Cmd-J). "Name" is not an option. The "Name" column is visible in the other view modes (Song List, Album List, Cover Flow), but not within an album in Grid View.
I've deleted the preferences and restarted iTunes, but no change.
Anyone else experiencing this or have any recommendations?

kentonkeeter,
This is the way I would approach it:
- Quit all applications
- Remove ~/Library/Caches and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
- Log out of your user account, and then log back in and test
- Additionally, you can quit all applications and remove both com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist, then log out and in to see if that has an effect, although I normally wouldn't expect them to.
If the same issue persists:
- Quit all applications
- Remove ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins (you can drag to the Desktop so as not to lose it; you can always put it back)
- Log out and in, and test
Normally, this will take care of the issue so long as you follow the steps in order. If not, normally the next step is to isolate ~/Library/Preferences entirely by quitting all applications, re-naming the Preferences folder (like to Preferences1), and log out and in and test. Keep in mind when logging back in, your account will change appearance. You can revert these changes by once again quitting all applications, renaming the current ~/Library/Preferences (like to Preferences2), then change the original folder's name back to Preferences. Then log out and in.
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

(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.

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs? When I view the music stored on my iMac, I get a choice to view by Songs, Artists, Albums, Composers, etc. But I don't get any choice with the music on my iPhone.
Its really hard to manage the music on my iPhone. I want to quickly remove albums and add new ones.
Is there a solution that I haven't seen?

Create a playlist, add/delete albums and sync this playlist.
You don't need to manually manage the iPhone music to do this.

What is your iTunes version?
If iTunes 11, have you checked the "Up Next" list? If it is not empty, try if clearing "UP Next" will help:

CHECK IT OUT - how to make album view name the song in the viewer

Album view shows the album for the highlighted song. If you put the title of the song in "album artist", the title appears in album view under the album name and cover photo. No...no...don't thank me.....
mac-book pro (2006) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

oops...yes, you are right. But the thing is, if album view isn't going to just show ONE album cover in the window for all the songs on the album, then each pic of the cover might as well have the actual title of the song being referenced on it.
The way to keep one photo as the designated album cover, for all songs, is to make that foto the FIRST in the series for each individual song's collection of artwork. When a song is playing, click "get info" from "file". Choose "album artwork" and drag-and-drop each piece of artwork into the window, then arrange so that the designated album cover is first in the group.
What I wanted from Album View was ONE foto of each album, and then by clicking on the foto, the album contents would appear in the playlist window. Too much to ask, I guess

Audioslave Album Song Names Different on iTunes?

When I import Audioslave's self-titled album to iTunes, the names of songs 11, 12 and 13 are changed from 'Bring Em Back Alive', 'Light My Way' and 'Getaway Car' to 'Intuition', 'Honey Honey' and 'How My Heart Behaves'. When I rip via Windows Media Player, the songs have the correct names. Why does this happen? Are they songs from a completely different band!?

Anyone?

Artist name shows under song name in itunes

in my itunes library, in the artist view, i go to the artist i want to listen to, then all of albums show up, some albums, have the artist name under the song, i look at the info of the entire album(songs on that album) and the artist and album artist are the same(copy and paste both sections) Songs that have artist name under song, also have the same artist on other songs that don't have the artist name under song, When i go to my music, i right click on songs that have artist name under song in itunes, and it also looks the same as the ones that don't, I ACTUALLY LIKE IT BETTER IF THE NAME OF THE ARTIST APPEARS UNDER THE SONG, it looks nicer

When you say adding your music again to your iTunes library, do you mean importing again from your cds, or have you used some other method to get the music from your iPod into iTunes?

I downloaded an album from iTunes and some of the songs downloaded but others didn't there was an error message 8003 Unknown error occurred. While I downloaded the album to my phone, it wouldn't download to my mac, what am I doing wrong???

I purchased an album on ITunes store, while the items downloaded to my phone, it didn't download to my mac. Some of the songs downloaded but not the majority, when I try to download the songs, it gives me an error 8003 Unknown error occured. What am I doing wrong? If I can't download this album, how do I get a credit??

Hello mercdw,
Once the music has been downloaded to your iPhone, you can transfer purchases from your device to iTunes.

Alternatively, the following article provides further information regarding this error and steps that can help resolve the issue.
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7:  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

Is there a way to view all music without albums on itunes 12.0.1.26?

Try the Songs option from the drop down list control near the top right. Use the same control to turn off Show Artwork if needed/desired.
