  • Why is iTunes showing me the "Data DVD" option when I clearly want to make an mp3 CD

    Good day, I've been able to make mp3 cds without any hassle in the past with my iTunes, but after a recent update it makes Data dvds even when I clearly choose the "mp3 cd" option. All the songs are MPEG Audio files. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    What are you on about?
    When the OP states he has MP3 files and wants to make an MP3 CD, I'm taking a "wild guess" that is what he wants to do.
    He has done so in the past. Whatever he has done previously is not working the same way. He needs to clarify what is or is not happening.
    MPEG-1 (/2), layer 3 = MP3. MPEG is not synonymous with MP3
    But MPEG audio file, as noted by the OP is synonymous with MP3 when looking at Kind in iTunes.
    An MPEG-4 file attempted to be encoded to mp3
    He is not attempting to encode to MP3. He wants to burn an MP3 CD. Selecting to burn an MP3 disc does not re-encode any files.
    It simply burns only the MP3 files in a playlist to a standard data disc.
    If you select Audio CD, the files do get reencoded to LPCM (the standard which an audio CD uses).
    would produce the  problems he is referring to.
    He is attempting to burn an MP3 CD. If you select to burn MP3 CD and there are no MP3 files in the playlist, iTunes will simply tell you there are no MP3 files in the playlist. You won't get any errors.

    Either add a payment method that iTunes accept or contact iTunes about using the method that you think is valid.

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs?

    Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs? I have assigned specifit genres but they're constantly changed without me doing it. ITs annoying. Does anyone know how i can stop this?

    welcome to the discussions
    you may find that WMP is doing this for you.
    There is a setting is WMP that means that it checks the info held in the file (and shown by itunes) against that held at Gracenote and 'updates' the info where there is any disagreement. On my copy its under the 'media library' tab.
    Turn this off if its on.

  • Why is itunes only downloading the first, fifth and ninth songs from any CD?

    Why is itunes only downloading the first, fifth and ninth songs from any CD?

    Did you perhaps intentionally select just those three tracks to import from one CD a while back, and is iTunes now remembering that selection? Do you see checkboxes against the list of tracks on the CD? If not Go to Edit > Preferences > General, and check the box for Show list checkboxes. CTRL-Click an empty checkbox to check all of them in one go.
    If that isn't the issue are you getting any error messages during the import? Will other software (WMP/MediaMonkey/CDEX etc.) rip the CD instead?

  • Why doesnt iTunes recognize already purchased music from itunes?

    In Complete My Album, iTunes fails to identify already purchased portion of album. Example: When looking to purchase newly released songs from An artist or TV show such as Nashville, iTunes fails to identify those already purchased. When looking through store, why doesnt itunes notice songs, albums, videos already in my library. When will iTunes figure this out? It would be a huge benefit to be alerted, so I do not buy the same thing more than once.

    Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
    For redownloading apps, look here for instructions.  For songs, movies, and videos, if you don't have a backup of your purchased items and don't have them on another iOS device, you may be out of luck and will need to repurchase your content.
    If you have your content on an iOS device, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis.
    Regards.

  • Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

    Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.  This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes.  If I just hit play, this doesnt happen.  As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order.  Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it.  When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example).  But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason.  Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening.  Any thoughts?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

    How can I, or can I export my songs on my iPod back to my computer?
    The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!
