Wrecking Ball iTunes LP breaks if you change the year metadata

I haven't ever had this problem before but ... the new Springsteen iTunes LP that comes with the album does not have the album year in the date. All of the songs correctly have 2012 in their metadata. When you sort songs in iTunes by Album by Artist/Year the album shows up incorrectly before all other albums because they have a date listed and the iTunes LP doesn't. Using the LP works fine at this point. I can play any of the songs through the LP interface. However, to clean up the data and have the album appear in sorted lists correctly, I edited the metadata by putting the year 2012 in the appropriate field. This then breaks the LP. I can no longer play any song except for track 4 "Jack of All Trades". No matter which song I choose, this is the one that plays. Very weird that it is the 4th track. If I re-edit the LP file and delete the year, leaving the field blank, all works fine. Anybody else have this behavior? This is happening both on my Mac and a PC.

  • Can you change the year of all songs in an album without changing the year of the album?

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if it is possible to change the year of all the songs within an album while keeping the year of the album. This is particularly relevant in 'Compliation' or 'Best of' albums, where all the years the songs were produced is different o the year the album was produced.
    Foe example, The Beatles' best of album '1' was created in 2000, but all of the songs were from 1963-70. In iTunes, the album is listed as being released in the year 2000, which is correct, but all of the songs are listed as being released in 2000, too, which is incorrect. However, when I change all of the individual songs to their correct year in which they were created, the year of the album also changes to that of the first song on that album. In short, either the album year is correct but all the song years are incorrect OR the album year is wrong but all the song years are right.
    Does anyone kinow if there is anyway to change this or get around this?
    Many thanks!

    None at all. If you'd like them to consider it you'll need to use the feedback link I gave above.
    A long standing bug bear for some is not being able to correctly sort two albums released in the same year by the same band. Having both copyright date and release date would (if implemented properly) give the option to sort, or filter tracks on either date as required.
    iTunes is a database of tracks. Albums don't really exist separately. There are a few collective properties. Year can have a separate value in each track but obviously only one value can (or at least should) be used when sorting as Album by Artist/Year. If you change the album rating of a single track in iTunes (which can be done with a script) iTunes automatically updates all the others to match.

  • How do you change the artwork in the new itunes? it won't let me delete it

    how do you change the album artwork in the new iTunes? it won't let me delete the old artwork even when I highlight it

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • HT1918 How do you change the country or origin in the iTunes store and zero out the remaining balance?

    As above.... how do you change the country of origin in the iTunes store when you already have a balance in another country, in my case the balance is $0.03. At the moment I can't change the country because of this balance and have attempted to zero it out, but no luck yet. Any suggestions?

    Contact iTS to have them cashout your account, and aid in changing the nationality.

  • When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

    When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
    When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999).    So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
    Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
    How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them?  This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

    Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
    Then exit iTunes and open it up again.  Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match).  If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

  • How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my iPad 2 keeps loosing connection with iTunes. I have tried changing the date, logging out then back in, iTunes is updated.....what's going on???? I can't update any apps nor can I download new ones.....

    What's going on with iOS6...... Since I updated to it, I have had nothing but hassles....

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

    iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes

  • How do you change the music for an export from a selection of pictures?

    I have iTunes and know how to change the music for a slideshow but if I select pictures from a folder and export to QuickTime how do I change the music?
    There is an option to "Add currently selected music to movie" but it always plays the same tune. How do I get an option to select an iTunes song like with the Slideshow? Where are the slideshow sample music files stored? There are 11 files in the sample folder but I can't find any of them on my drive.

    Maybe there is some confusion in what I'm telling you. There are two types of slideshows in iPhoto. One creates a special slideshow album that appears in the Source pane on the left side. This is not the one I'm talking about. (You create one of these slideshow albums when you select some photos and click the Slideshow icon (the one with a Plus sign on it) at the bottom of the iPhoto window.
    The other slideshow is done from the main library window or from a regular album (not a slideshow album). You either select some photos (or a roll) from the Library or select an album (with a folder icon). Then click the Play button which is on the bottom right hand side of the iPhoto window.
    If your Play button is on the left side, then you aren't using the correct one. The one that appears on the left side shows when you've selected a Slideshow Album from the source pane. This type of album has an icon that looks like a couple of slides (the kind you put in a projector).
    Does that make a difference?
