XBox Music - Changes my album tags, track names an...
I have a well organised music collection on my PC with correct album/artist tags. When I copy music over to the phone (Lumia 920) XBox Music ends up replacing some track tags with random artists, track names, album names and artwork. It also doesn't display some album artists despite correct tags. I never had any kind of problem like this on my previous phones (last being HTC Titan on WP 7.8. Has anyone else had this issue and what can be done to fix it?
Thanks

How do I manually change the genre or track name
I'm new here, so forgive me if this is easily done. I would like to know how to manually change a song's track name, or genre in iTunes. If i feel like a song is more appropriately labeled "pop" vs "rock" can I change the label? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, i'd like to be able to do the same with track names. Thanks.
Right click on the track you want to change. Choose Get Info and then the Info Tab. You can change the song name, artist, genre etc. in there.
You can also update multiple items, however beforehand you sort your tracks into the order you want, say for instance by Artist. Click on the first track you want to change, hold down the shift key and click on the last you want to change and all the tracks in between will be selected. After that it's right click etc as above.

BUG: repeated pause/play causes malformed audio name track name
itunes9:
I was listening to a language audio track. Therefore I was pausing and playing it repeatedly while I said out loud what they said on the track. I found the track listing and the now playing area started changing ever time I did this pause/play sequence.
The track called "12 12-Topic 11", started having a new 12 prepended to it, i.e.
"12 12-Topic 11"
"12 12 12-Topic 11"
"12 12 12 12-Topic 11"
etcI recently encountered exactly this bug *while importing WAV files I had created from a vinyl record* (using Final Vinyl).
Having dragged the files into iTunes from a Finder folder, I then went through each 'Get Info' menu to insert the track number (ie: 'N of M'). The spurious numbers then started appearing in front of the track name in the Title field spontaneously as I moved from one track to another.
There did not seem to be any pattern - some number appeared as soon as I had closed the 'Get Info' menu and moved on to other tracks; other appeared later; some never did - ie the track names were left alone.
I deleted the numbers from the track names manually, in the iTunes list display, and the problem seems to have gone away - but I'm not sure - I will reload that iTune library (from our family NAS) tonight, and check again.
I had never seen this problem before I upgraded to iTune 9 - despite having followed this process before in iTunes 7/8.
Incidentally, in answer to one of the comments above about Gracenotes; I have frequently imported WAV files from CDs, previously recorded from vinyl on an old Windows laptop (with no track names), and Gracenotes has correctly supplied the album and track names - presumably from the number and durations of the tracks in the album. In the case of this live album, I started with 4x20min WAV files - each one, a whole side of a vinyl record - before chopping it up into 23 tracks using Final Vinyl. When these were initially imported into iTunes, Gracenotes incorrectly identified it as some old YES prog-rock album I'd never heard of! -
How do I stop iTunes from automatically changing artist, album.....?
How do I stop iTunes from automatically changing artist, album, and genre names?
I keep my itunes library folder very organized. You wont find the same artist spelled two different ways in it. But itunes automatically changes the artists, album names, and genres for whatever reason, making it so I have to edit my library all over again.No, don't check it!
That is the only setting that would let itunes change file names. Read right underneath it - itunes will create files & folders based on artist & album name.
Something else must be changing your files, then - not iTunes.
Every PC comes with WIndows Media Player. Go into that and uncheck the options to retreive internet info for albums. It's in 2 places, on the Library tab and the Privacy tab.

(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.

Generic track names instead of the correct artist/album/song name
I've uploaded songs to my itunes library for the past year on my ibook G4, and the bought music CDs I imported always displayed their full information (artist, song title, album etc). I just replaced my malfunctioning 40 GB black and white ipod with the 60GB color display video ipod, and now every music cd I try to import shows up with generic track names and no artist or album title. Is this due to the fact that I started using a new ipod? Or did apple change itunes within the past few weeks so that every music cd now shows up only with this generic info? Is this a copyright security measure issue?
Thanks in advance.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) I am now using the 60 GB video ipod with itTo get the track names etc., when importing a CD, you have to be connected to the Internet.
This article explains why.
To get the info later, select all tracks (with the generic track names) of an album and choose 'Get CD Track Names' from the Advanced menu in the menubar.
Very often the correct information will show up.
Hope this helps.

Add file to library. Track names added to iTunes (10.5), but Album information missing
I moved my music folders on my PC, then deleted all the songs from iTunes. Before I did that my library was in perfect shape. When I "File>Add Folder to Library" all the tracks came in, however, for any tracks whose titles begin with track numbers, iTunes doesn't add album information. See tracks with pre-pended numbers in this screenshot. No album information!
The album folders in Windows are still intact, and Explorer listings of the folders show the album names as well. So windows knows the names of the albums. iTunes isn't finding them. See below.
Why isn't iTunes reading the album names. My library is now a mess! Now I've got thousands of tracks without album information. I can't do all of them manually. Any ideas?
Thanks so much!My script picks up the information in the path the file is stored at, which generally yields Album Artist, Album, Track Number & Track Name. My own personal file name convention sets the filename to ## <Name> - <Artist> when Artist != Album Artist and my script can read that data back again. In your case we really want to get down to the reason why iTunes isn't reading the tag that is there, and eveidently readable by Windows Explorer.
Here's a thought... Backup one of the files that includes something visibly different in the contributing artists field. Right click on the file in iTunes and select Convert ID3 Tags... > None. Now try playing the file in question. Does the extra data appear? If not give the same process at least one more go.
As I mentioned earlier the ID3 spec allows for multiple tags to be attached to a single file, e.g. both V2 and V1 for backwards compatability or even multiple tags of the same version but in different languages. What isn't obvious is what rules applications are supposed to use to give preference from one to the other. I'm struggling to find a tag editor that is aware of this issue though there are some that can display V1 & V2 tags and even copy data from one to the other. I don't offhand have a definite recommedation however.

New Beatles albums - track names and artwork not showing up in iTunes 9.0
Has anyone else bought the new Beatles remastered CDs and tried to import into iTunes 9.0?
All that shows up is Track 1, Track 2 etc and no album art.
Is this due to there being video on these albums too and how can one deal with this issue?It is because they have not yet been added to the database that is used to provide the track information.
When you insert a CD into your computer and it appears in iTunes, the iTunes software connects to a database and looks for the track names for the CD. If it finds the CD in the database the track names are downloaded and use to tag the music.
The album art on the other hand is provided by the iTunes Music Store, so if an album is not available in the iTunes Store than you cannot get the album art for it. As the Beatles are not yet available in the iTunes Store you will not get the album art. -
How to change tag track numbers en masse?
I have nearly 8,000 tracks on my iPod, many of which are for audiobooks stored as music files. In general, the tracks from these audiobooks have useful tag data, with the exception of the track number field that is stored as part of the tag data. I am trying to find a way that will enable me to renumber many tracks at once without having to do it one file at a time.
When I rip audiobook wav files to mp3 the track number data field is automatically inserted according to which track it was on the source CD. However, since many audiobooks have more than one CD, the end result is that I have more than one track that is number 1, number 2, and so on. For example, if an audiobook has 10 CDs each with 10 tracks I end up with 100 tracks in total, but instead of tracks numbered 1 through 100, I get 10 tracks with track number 1, ten with track number 2, and so forth.
This causes a problem in the way the iPod arranges tracks. My iPod puts them in the correct order when I access a book using "playlist," but if I want to access the book by "artist" or "album" it does not put them in the proper order. It orders them not by track name, but by track number. This is a problem because there are multiple files with the number "1" in the track number tag field. Whereas I need to be able to go from disc 1/track 1 to disc 1/track 2, instead the iPod goes from disc 1/track 1 to disc 2/track 1.
I could, of course, create a separate "album" for each CD in a multi-CD audiobook, but then I would have way more "albums" than I really need to have listed.
Does anyone know of a method (or an application) that I can use to renumber tracks easily and quickly? I would be ideal to find something as easy as this would be to do in an Excel spreadsheet. But to renumber them one file at a time is simply overwhelming.
Please advise.Whereas I need to be
able to go from disc 1/track 1 to disc 1/track 2,
instead the iPod goes from disc 1/track 1 to disc
2/track 1.
Right click on any of these files and do a Get Info. Notice that there is, in fact, a Disc number field. So you can make disc numbers 1/10, 2/10 and so on.
iTunes and the iPod are both smart enough to recognize that there are disc numbers there and act correctly. So it'll start with Disc 1, play all that disc, then go to Disc 2, and so forth. It's just a matter of having correct disc number tags.
You can tag disc numbers for a whole disc at once. Simply select all the songs in a single disc (hold SHIFT or CTRL while selecting the songs), right click, Get Info, and you get the mass tag editor screen. Add the disc number info for this disc, and it'll tag that info to all those songs. Repeat for each disc. -
If I change the Album Name, the Album Colum still sorts the song by the old name even though it shows the new changed name.
This happens for a song I bought from the iTunes Store. When I change the Album Name on songs read in from CDs, it sorts by
the Album Name which I edit.Changing file or folder names by hand makes iTunes loose contact with the files. You shouldn't do this. If the files are stored inside the iTunes Media folder and you have the option "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" enabled then files with move around as you edit their tags. If they are stored elsewhere, or that option isn't selected, then if you want to rename the files you need to remove and then reimport, or manually reconnect each track one by one.
Select all of the tracks of the album, press Ctrl+I to Get Info, select the Sorting tab, delete the contents of any of the Sort fields, click OK. This should resolve the sorting issue.

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

ITunes 10.6.1 upgrade changes track names to Chinese characters.....
This is very weird, after upgrading, the track names in iTunes, TV Shows, Music and others changed to Chinese characters and wingding characters...not all of them though, just the visible ones so when I scroll I still have regular English names....very strangely, these incorrect names are also visible on AppleTV, I guess it takes the names straigh of my Air....anybody any idea how to fix this...it happended after restarting iTunes after the upgrade....
May 24, 2012, further update.
I had my pst file copied from Outlook 2007 and installed on a test computer with iTunes 10.1.6 and the calendar sync occurred no problem
My techie, then basically said it was some registry files on the desktop that must be corrupted and he deleted them with a program.
He is back tomorrow for futher testing I will keep you informed -
TS1468 When I change the album artist name it changes the order of songs, how do I stop this?
The songs downloaded to my iTunes on my Macbook Pro by CD have divided into different albums. Now I have put them into the same album by changing the Album Artist in File- Get Info but the song order changes; this is a problem as a lot of these albums are from Musical Theatre shows and the songs need to be in chronological order to make sense! Please tell me how I can put them into the same album and also keep them in the same order as on the CD.
For a full run down see Grouping tracks into albums. Generally to control the order of tracks within an album you need to use appropriate disc and track numbers. You may also need to change the sort column for the view.

When I try to "Get Track Names" or "Get Album Art," the wrong info or no info is retrieved
I'm using the latest iTunes and Lion OS.
I have many songs from long ago (not downloaded from iTunes) which have incorrect album names, etc., and I want to clean them up, but when I enter the correct info and select "Get Album Art" or "Get Track Names," either nothing is found or the incorrect information is returned, respectively.
For example, I have a song:
Artist: James Taylor
Album: Greatest Hits
Name: Mexico
It does not have the associated Album Art, nor does it have the rest of the information like Track, Year, etc. It just has the Track Name, Album Name and Artist Name. I want to update this to show that it is from the original Album, "Gorilla," so I right-click and select Info, and I fill in the Album Name as "Gorilla." When I right-click and select "Get Album Art," it tells me: "Artwork for "James Taylor - Gorilla" could not be found - though it exists in iTunes. When I right-click and select "Get Track Names," the item is updatd, and now it reads:
Artist: America
Album: Mellow Rock Hits Of The 70s: Summer Breeze
Name: A Horse With No Name
When I rename everything to "James Taylor," "Mexico," and "Gorilla," and select either "Get Album Art" or "Get Track Names," I get the exact same thing: no album artwork found, and it renames it to America.
What is happening? What am I doing wrong? Do I have the wrong expectations of the two right-click options?I don't think CDDB and iTunes Store is the same. The CDDB gets information for CDs only (not collections of tracks made from a CD) and uses CD features such as track lengths (exact, which could be modified by a fraction of a second when you make a MP3) track count, etc. It doesn't use any information such as artist, track name. From what Mike Johnson12 was saying it seems that ITMS uses the base tag information to identify the track fully.
I have never used iTunes Store to label a track so I can't provide information there. I have no idea what criteria it uses, but for other id3 tag application and iTunes, by "exact" we mean exact. Letter case is important, and I have even found that sometimes font can make a difference.
For album artwork I do a Google search, then restrict the finds to images and select the best quality I can find. This is also the biggest in terms of file size so I only attach the image to one file in a track. When playing iTunes on the computer it displays that image for all tracks in that album. -
I`ve had the same problem as many of you seem to have with track names in music player appearing as a series of squares.After a lot of experimenting i`ve found that removing the ID3v2 tags(leave the IDv1 tags)solved my problem.I used a tag editor called tagscanner to edit my files.Hope this is of some help.

Unknown thing that came with the ipod
probably a dumb question. I just bought a ipod nano. In the box that contained everything there is a white thing with a rectangle slot in the bottom of a rounded trough. What is it? Any help would ease my feeble mind.
