Which 1 Billionth Song Counter is Right??

This topic has me so confused. In the music store it has a counter for how many songs have been downloaded. If you click on it, it takes you to the itunes website where there is a different counter. If you look at each of the different counters they have about 100,000 songs downloaded difference. So which one shows the accurate number of songs downloaded so far. Please hurry to answer this.

They're actually both pretty much the same; the Music Store one is just immobile, and you have to constantly refresh it to keep seeing updates, but that wouldn't do any good. Basically, refreshing it helps. Well, it's over now. No more OCD for me. LOL. xD Do another one later, Apple! I had my eyes on that prize!!!

ITunes 11.1.1 SONG Count is WRONG!

Hi,
The title says it all.
However a bit more background detail.
I'm running 10.8.5 on 2.3ghz, iCore 7 with 8gb of DDR3 with Terabyte storage.
Yes the system has been updated, yes i am running the latest iTunes, and YES I have diligently applied all system patches.
That said...
What the frak is wrong with iTunes, aside from the bloated beast it's become ?
As you can see from the images below....the song counts are OFF from the same playlist folder.
The 1st image is from iTunes, the 2nd is from Swinsian. Regardless of Swinsian because it IS reading the exported XML file from iTunes, which is reporting the correct number of songs in a given folder of playlists, iTunes 11 on the other hand is NOT! Sadly. I have gone thru and checked each individaul playlist and done the math that each is reporting the correct number of songs in a playlist...and the number that I come up with is 569 just like Swinsian does and the XML file does. However, iTunes is NOT reporting that...as you can see, it reporting 247! Ummmm iTunes/Apple...your math is slightly WRONG!
Is anyone else seeing this ? Obviously there is a corruption somewhere...but I'll be damned if I can see it or figure out how the frak to fix it....

Song Count is Different between iTunes & iPod

I need to move my entire music library to a new Windows laptop that I just received, so I synced my entire iTunes (v10.3) library to my 80Gb Classic iPod. When it completed syncing the "entire music library" the info screen tells me that my iTunes music library contains 3,794 songs, but when I look on my iPod, it has 3,787 songs. Why would it have skipped 7 songs, and is there any way to determine what 7 songs are not included?

Update: after seing a number of posts about the same issue, i tried to do some other ideas. I looked through my list of songs, and found 2 songs un-checked. I also did a search for duplicate songs and deleted about 10 dupes. I then did a re-sync, and the song difference count is now at 5, with iTunes having 3,783 and the iPod at 3,778. So I'm closer, but I'd still like to know which 5 songs I'm missing.

Song Count Different in iTunes Library and iPod

I am perplexed now. iTunes says I have 6643 songs in the library, and it says it is fully synched with my iPod. Yet the iPod thinks it has only 6603 songs on it. I have gone carefully through the library, and every song thinks it is downloaded. When I mount the iPod, and highlight it in the Source column, the library also reports that the iPod has only 6603 songs on it, so it agrees with the iPod. So what are the 40 songs that the library has that won't download onto the iPod?

Solution found. I find this amazing, but the iTunes library and the iPod treat duplicates in different ways. In iTunes, if one accidentally ends up with a duplicate song (for example by ripping the same CD twice, not realizing it was ripped before) the iTunes library shows the song twice (and the underlying mp3 files exists twice in the store). And the number of songs showing in the library includes both copies of the song, the original and the duplicate. If you then synch up the iPod, however, iTunes only loads one copy of the song to the iPod. So in my case it transpired that there were 40 duplicates on my computer, none of which downloaded to the iPod, and that is why the song count was higher in the iTunes library, and why the volume of music in the library showed as 240 MB more than what was in the iPod. Very strange design that iTunes knows enough not to download duplicates, but still shows them in the library. Solution is to go to Edit / Show Duplicates in the iTunes library, but be careful as there will be many false positives.

ITunes and iPod show different song counts... not all songs sync

Hi,
I've been having this problem for many many years.
I have more than 18,000 songs now, and the song count in iTunes is always 5 higher than on the iPod. I have my iPod set to sync the entire library. All songs in the library are checked for sync as well. I get no error message during sync that something might be missing, incompatible, or corrupt When I look at iPod music in iTunes it has the wrong count as well.
Every time a new version of iTunes comes out, I send feedback to Apple regarding this issue. As expected, Apple ignores their feedback, and from what I can tell they ignore the community forums as well, and they have yet to address the issue in any way, or even contact me about it.
I'd like to find which songs are bad and remove/delete them from my library and collection or fix them. Is there a sync log hidden somewhere that I can check to see which songs will or won't sync? Why doesn't iTunes tell us whether or not it expects a song to sync or if it's iPod compatible? Why does it say less songs will sync without giving a reason why?
I've heard that iPods don't sync duplicate files, but I've looked at my duplicates.. At some point, Apple screwed that up too, it shows songs that are from different compilations as duplicates now, instead of looking at the data proper to determine if it's a duplicate, it seems to just look at the Artist and Song Title and even that doesn't seem to be correct because I have more duplicate song titles listed and in some cases it lists songs from two different artists as being duplicates. I have many more duplicates listed in itunes than the discrepancy in the song count would suggest... 3,835 more songs to be exact.
I've tried to select only checked songs and get the same results. I've tried to restore the iPod and I get the same results. I've tried clearing the library completely and reloading all songs and I still get the same results. I've scanned through the library and all songs appear to have compatible settings. All my songs are either mp3 or m4a(aac) formats. I don't use playlists at all.
If anyone knows of a solution, please let me know. I don't want to have to check every single file.
Thanks!

So that you know, for the future, Apple makes it very clear (specifically so, when you submit Feedback) that they do not respond to the feedback directly. They do however, read the feedback and consider suggestions for improvements to iPods. They also look for - and act upon - bug reports etc. That's what the Feedback is for.
They also make it clear that they do not monitor or respond to these discussions. (That said, Apple employees are free to - and do look at - some of the posts and have been known to contact posters directly when looking for further information regarding bugs.)
As you have now found, this community (as Apple now prefers to call it) can often help sort out your problems, espcecially when skilled users such as tt2 (aka Steve) are let loose!

ITunes Plus Upgrade, Two Song Counts, Price Does Not Add Up

When I click on the iTunes Plus Upgrade in the iTunes store, I see two song counts. One is called Total Songs, the other is called Songs. The Total Songs number is higher than the Songs number. It appears that the Song number is what can be upgraded, the actual list of songs shown below matches.
But I'm not sure what the Total Songs number represents. It is lower than the total number of Protected AAC songs I have in my library.
So, does anyone know what the Total Song count represents?
Another confusing issue is that if I multiple the Songs count by $0.30 (which is the cost per song) that number is less than what the iTunes store says it will cost. I only have one video that can be upgraded, so that should only add another $0.30 to the total cost. But the total cost iTunes is showing is calculates to about 50% more songs that what it shows I can upgrade to.

I've done some comparisons of the File Info between my DRM-Protected 'Dark Side' and 'Animals' songs and the DRM-Free versions. It turns out there are differences which might explain the trouble Upgrade My Library has in recognizing eligible albums.
On 'Animals':
Standard http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/travisschiller/Picture2.png
Plus http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/travisschiller/Picture1.png
Notice the difference in the album art and, notably, the Copyright information. This is not the same song with only quality affected. Apparently, there was some copyright changes that took place, which might critically affect the eligibility of an album or songs.
The same with 'Dark Side of the Moon':
Standard http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/travisschiller/Picture4.png
Plus http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/travisschiller/Picture3.png
Notice here, too, the running time of the song is different.
All that needs to be done by Apple is a configuration of Upgrade My Library so that it will recognize these previous versions of these albums for those of us who bought it before the revision took place.

Changing Song Count

Sometimes when I am using my 5th Generation ipod my song count in playlists and total songs will change. For example: I am listening to my 2006 playlist with 1100 songs but it only lists 774. After switching to another playlist I switch back to the 2006 playlist and it lists the correct number of songs 1100.
It tends to do this more when I go into settings and turn on the shuffle songs setting.
During the time that it is listing the incorrect number of songs it will also not shuffle some playlists properly. For example: In shuffle song mode I go to a playlist with 100 songs and press play. It shows a song from that playlist but lists the song as 1 of 1 not 1 of 100. It is showing the shuffle symbol while it is doing this. Then, for no reason, it starts working correctly.
Can anyone shed some light?

You have a bunch of songs marked as Skip when shuffling.
In iTunes, select the songs, right click - get info.
Under Options, set Skip when shuffling to No.
Resync the iPod.

How do I view total song count in iTunes 11? Previous versions listed total song counts at the bottom.

Does anyone know how I can view my total song count in my library in iTunes 11? All previous versions listed the total song count in my library at the bottom. Thanks for the help!

It sounds like the staus bar is turned off. Select view from the menu bar and enable the staus bar.

So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad. It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

Greetings,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

The "home" icon which appears in the upper right corner has disappeared and I can't get back and forth unless I bookmark my home page and reach it through a bookmark.

Hi Donnastall,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]? There is a lot of good information in there and it should help you resolve your issue!

Library total song count different than available "Entire music library" number for mobile devices?

If I go to my iTune library and display the song count I see I have 3094 separate songs. However when I connect my iPhone or iPad and I choose "Sync Music" with the option "Entire music library" it shows 2963 songs. I have 10GB+ of available space on both devices, so it's not a space issue. Concerned I had songs in my library that were not mapped to actual files on my drive I audited them. I highlighted all the songs, chose "Get Info" then changed the BPM to 999, once they processed I sorted by BPM and they all read 999, there were no gaps that would indicate a broken file association.
I can't seem to find any other possible explanation. If any one has any ideas, and an option to resolve the problem I'm definitely open to suggestion, thanks!
OS X: 10.9.5
iOS: 8.0.2
iTunes: 11.4

Possibilities are that unchecked songs are not being synced to the device, or that your library contains what I refer to as "logical" duplicates, two or more entries in the database that point to the same physical file on disc. If you have logical duplicates only one copy of the track is left on the device after syncing, but you may see the same set of tracks being added each time you sync even though nothing has been changed in your library.
