Wrong tags for some songs?

I have the 160 gig classic... I love the fact that it can hold so much but some songs have the wrong tag to the....for instance ...I choose Blondie one way or another and the song played will be a Johnny cash song.... You get the gist....
When I play that song song in iTunes on my pc it is correct as in the tag corresponds to the song.....
Any help would be appreciated.....

Restoring an iPod removes all the data from it, builds a fresh database on the device, then puts back on the content that your request. If the database on the device becomes corrupt then it may index the wrong file for playback and a restore would be the recommended fix. At the very least you should confirm the problem persists after a restore. If so then some more details are likely to be required to pinpoint what is going on, e.g. is the file that plays the next/previous in the song menu for example? Is the one song always replaced by a specific other one and what are the details of both tracks?
If you've selected an album to play, and have more than one album with the same title, then that is best explained by pointing you to http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
There are some tips in there about not using Sort fields to merge albums. It's quite some time now since I explored that behaviour in detail and I can't recall it actually being responsible for the wrong song being played in the way you originally described which is why I recommeded a restore first. If however, you have tried to use the sort fields in this way then perhaps all you need to do is correct the relevant tags in the ways I recommend in the article and re-sync the device.

ITunes tags are not the same as the actual mp3 tags for some songs

The other day I noticed that some of the names for songs in my iTunes library had changed from the correct names to the file name (which was Artist - Name) but the rest of the tags (album, genre, ect.) for those tracks remained unchanged in iTunes. I went back and checked the details of the messed up songs in windows explorer and noticed that all of the tag information for those songs is now gone. Only one out of 30 or so songs seems to have this problem, and it appears to have happened at random. I will have an entire albums that have no problem, except one random song that will have its tags removed, despite the fact that it was added to the computer and to iTunes in the exact same way as the rest of the tracks in the album.
When I update the title (or any field) in iTunes it updates it in the actual id3 tag, but the other tag info is still missing. So far, the only way I have found to fix all of the missing info would be to change all of the tag information for every single tag for every single messed up song (which is ~800) and then change them back. I tried selecting the file and using get info without changing the tags but it didn't apply them to the actual tags.
Is there any way to sync the tags that show up in iTunes to the actual files tags?

I find the best way to do this is to right click on the song in iTunes and convert then select convert ID3 tags to V1.1 this usually completes the tag and adds all the missing info, provided it is in iTunes corectly.
Were these songs you Dled or ripped form a cd directly?

ITunes points to the wrong location for some songs. I can't fix it...

Hello,
I have an iTunes library with 6,000+ songs, and I can't afford to lose them all. I tried to copied my entire iTunes folder to my external hard drive, and now most of my songs have the grey exclamation point next to them saying they can't be found. I checked the info of those missing songs, and it says the file path is "file://localhost/Volumes/MUSIC/Music/Artist/Album/Track Title.mp3". However, the actual path should be "/Volumes/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Artist/Album/Track Title.mp3" I think. How can I fix these songs? Some few random songs that still work are pointing to the internal hard drive on my mac in the original iTunes folder. How can I get all the locations set to the right place? Even if I can get it working from my internal hard drive again, that would be good.
I really need to keep all of the track information that is in the iTunes library file (Date added, play count, rating, etc.)
Please help me out, I cannot figure this out to save my life. If you need any other information, please just let me know.
Thank you,
Christian

I messed around with the XML file and the .itdb file and somehow I got it to point to my other hard drive and I didn't lose any of my dates added. I wish I payed more attention to what I did so I could help other people with this issue...

ITunes 11.1.5 is randomly changing genres for some songs

All of a sudden, when going through my song library, I'm seeing the genres of some songs changed to something other that what it is supposed to be (or what I have put in). For instance, all of my country songs are in "county" genre. However, some have changed to "country/folk", which I don't like and don't want to use. Some that were in "rock" have been changed to "r&b" or "soul". I use about seven or eight genres, and want to stick with those. I change any songs to the genre I want them under. But tonight about 100 of them were changed to some genre I don't use. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

I had similar problems that included multiple cover art versions. In my case there seemed to be more than one "tag" on the mp3 file. So I selected the track, and used the Control button and then chose the ID3 Tag editing option, changed the tag version to None, then closed it. Then I selected the same track and chose v2.4 (you could choose v2.2 or v2.3, the iTunes default). Then I did Command-I and re-filled in the genre, album artist and other fields. Then I used a free script from dougscripts.com to re-embed the artwork.
That eliminated the "dual identity" problems...(one picture/set of info on an iPod, another one on my Mac).
It also allowed me to erase lyrics that people had embedded in mp3s, which showed up over the cover art on an iPod.

IPhone does not show album artwork for some songs!

My iPhone recently stopped showing album artwork for newly added music....
I tried to add the album artwork thousand time but no use...
Restore didnt help as well...
Any solutions?

no, it shows only for some, the old ones...not the newly imported ones
I select all the songs from the album, I drag the picture -from folder or safari- then i drop it in the artwork box...
sometimes shows for the first song only, but always shows for the album little preview, and never for the rest of the songs...

My smart playlists in iTunes match are not interpreting "date added" property correctly for some songs.

I have many smart playlists that are dependent upon the "date added" property of my songs. I use iTunes match on a PC, my iPad (4th gen), and my iPhone 5, and my music is stored on my iMac. For some reason, (on my iPhone only) a handful of songs stubbornly continue to appear in smart playlists even though their "date added" is much earlier than the playlists dictate. And they are the same handful of songs on all playlists that have this problem.
Turning off Live Updating resolves the problem, but then what's the point of a smart playlist if I have to continually update it manually? Turning off iTunes Match on my iPhone, deleting music, and turning iTunes Match back on does not resolve the problem.

I think I have figured this out, so I'll share in case anyone else has this issue. I had automatic downloads enabled for my iPhone, so any iTunes music purchases were automatically downloaded to my phone. As a result, the "date added" attribute of a song is tied to when it was downloaded to the phone rather than when I originally purchased the song and added it to my iTunes library.
I disabled iTunes Match, deleted these songs from my phone, re-enabled iTunes Match, and that seems to have done the trick.

Why is iTunes play count not updating for SOME songs played on iPod Touch?

I have noticed that when I play some songs on my iPod the play count won't update. This only happens with some I bought recently. I was actually testing witha song I purchased 3 weeks ago and the play count will only update if I play it on the computer. However, when I played the song on my iPod Touch 4g running iOS 5, nothing happened. How can I fix this as I use the recently played playlist quite often. also, Im pretty sure most of the songs were downloaded from iTunes app in my iPod.

I've had this problem before with my 1G and still have it with my 2G. I can replicate it EVERY TIME.
If I listen to nothing but music on my iPod touch, and then go back home and sync, I have no problems with the playcount and smart playlists.
However, if I listen to a bunch of music, then play a few games, or browse Safari for a while, any record of my recently listened to music is wiped out. The Music application even loses my place in what song I was listening to and even which artist/album I was last listening to -- kicking me back to main music screen when I click the Music icon on the Home screen.
My hypothesis -- Apple is not using a dedicated/untouchable portion of memory to store playcounts. It is shared with all other memory access. So if an application or Safari uses a lot of memory during your session AFTER you've played your music, your playcounts gets wiped out in the process.
But that's just my take on the situation.

I paid for some songs on iTunes using the gift card I got but it also charged my credit card?

So I got a iTunes $20 gift card from a friend and I correctly redeemed the card an I started buying some songs which took away some of the credit of the iTunes account but then a couple days later my credit card was also charged for buying those songs. Is this normal?

None for payment
After establishing the Credit Card account (i.e. after you have made purchases), you can remove the credit card information by editing your payment info, choosing "None".

I was wrongly billed for two songs EIGHT times?

I just want to know why I was wrongly billed for something that occurred this morning whilst using iTunes Store to buy music. I was told that I owed them $3.58, which I then tried to pay, but was told that my Security Code Number was not valid, which is wrong because I put in the correct number, but when I checked my card balance I was billed a whopping $28.64! That means I was billed $3.58 on EIGHT separate occasions. That's not right.
What I want to know is a) why won't it let me pay for the songs (that I bought in July and was attempting to pay but wouldn't let me, and b) if I am ever going to get a response and my refund. Cause according to My Account, I still haven't payed the $3.58 and now I'm just plain furious at the Store for their blunder.

Welcome to AD!
This is a user-to-user forum, so the only help on billing I can give is to tell you that using the "Report A Problem" link in iTunes does not always work.
Try this page instead:

The "itunes store account and billing" section will let you send an email.

When i click get info, the artwork is there on itunes, and when i click the 'my music' tab when my phone is connected, but it doesn't show the artwork on my phone when the song is playing.. help?

See this...
btabz: My songs have artwork in iTunes, but it won't transfer to my iPod!
I haven't updated this for iTunes 7, so if you are using iTunes 7, the iPod preferences show up when you connect your iPod (there is no need to go to edit-->preferences and click the iPod tab as it says in the tip).

ITunes voucher for some songs but want to purchase an album

I have a voucher for 3 songs and now I want to purchase an album. Is the price of 3 songs (0.99*3) just deducted from the album or won't work that at all and I can only buy single songs when I've got 3 songs for free?
Any experiences with that?

Just found a possibility to do what I wanted:
Buy the 3 songs from the album via the free voucher and then use complete album-function and you do not have to pay for the 3 songs (whichs price get deducted from the album-price)

Suddenly my new itouch shows the incorect album artwork for some songs, but only on teh device - the itunes library on ym computer is correct. I did resync but non change. any ideas on how to get it to match again?

Got my new itouch and after some minor issue syncing, i was able to get everything set up. However I just noticed that soem of the album artwork is not matched up to the song that is currently playing. I also sometimes, after syncing, I get a message stating "iTunes unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." Any ideas on hwo to get the artwork realigned to the correct songs?

Try this, it has worked for me.
1. Make a new, empty iTune library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key.
2. Choose create new library; do NOT have iTunes scan for music.
3. Enable iTunes Match on the empty library.
4. Find the tracks with the wrong artwork, highlight them, Get Info and paste the correct artwork into the "artwork" field.
5. When finished update iTunes Match, then re-launch iTunes while holding down the Option key and chose select library to get back to the "master" library.

Album art not being displayed for some songs.

I've recently imported some MP3 files and used the "Get Album Artwork" option to get the cover art. I've noticed for all of these songs the album artwork will not display in Front Row on a remote machine using the sharing feature. Same in iTunes if I try to play these songs via sharing. If I add the cover art myself, I don't have this issue.
Anyone else running into this? Does anyone know a fix or workaround (other than removing the artwork and manually readding it)?
All my machines have the latest versions of all software.
Thanks
Curt

Thanks! You are right. There's an Album Artwork folder and I scp'd one of my "affected" mp3s to another machine and the artwork was absent. Seems like Apple should've just added the artwork to the mp3 file as if it was manually added. Perhaps they had a reason not to, though.
