iTunes 12 applies to 'manual' random Album Ratings

Hello

iTunes 12.3 (and previous iterations of iTunes 12) have been adding random and unwanted starry black 'manual' (as opposed to "supposed" Star gray) Notes of album for some time now. It is possible to remove the manual side on a per album basis - of-, it is a non-stop clear and lengthy process to keep my carefully organized library as it should. To say that this issue is infuriating is a statement under.

Has anyone found practical work around this? There may be a third script that can isolate the 'manual' sides to facilitate the management of this issue? (There is no way I can find to create a smart playlist based on the sides of the album that shows only the sides of "manual" Black Star). Someone understands the cause and Apple are working on a solution to this bug?

I'm under El Capitan 10.11.3 on a MBP of 2015. I am registered for the Apple's music but do not use iCloud music library.

Thanks for any advice.

I posted this same question here several weeks ago and received no response.  It is aggravating and disappointing that it was not resolved in the most recent update of iTunes.  It really becomes a problem when you have focused on the coast smart playlists that end up choosing songs that do not have ANY mark, other than a note of automatic calculation which came from a 'manual' (i.e. the Black Star) qualification "Album" that I've not defined.

I don't have a solution, but I can offer some clues as to when this happens to me.  If I change the rating to a song on my iPhone, and then re - sync to iTunes which is usually when the album solid-star side is applied.  So I set up a smart playlist for recent games, with it, showing the work out of the left side (which shows the Album of note in a place where you can easily change it to null so that it goes back to a "calculated" Grey Album of note).  It is always a concern, however, and I wish that apple could fix.  I submitted your comments before, time to do it again because it does not solve the recent update:

In my view, there are scripts that can reset Album of note, but I'm not too keen on trying them on my well managed library.

Oh and since you seem to be meticulous in your library, as I am, check your smart playlists to see if they are updated in iTunes.  Mine suddenly stopped update with 12.3.3, except if I'm going in and edit playlist and change it then went back to what it was.

  • Cannot manually add album art

    I just got a new computer and installed the latest version of iTunes for Windows. I added my music library without any problems and was pleased to see that album art has been updated automatically but on the few remaining albums who had not added automatically work I am unable to do it manually (click with the right button on album > info > work). Art seems to have been added but when I hit "ok" and return to iTunes there is no change, it still shows the grey double quaver.

    I've done several times before and had no problems.

    Thank you

  • ITunes is separating the artists and albums! ID3 are correct...

    I updated my Itunes to 12.3.2.35 this week on my Windows 10. A week before I organized my music library so I know perfectly how to treat the ID3 tags and how to fix it when Itunes is separating an album or artist. But since I updated the version that I have a lot of bugs, Itunes separates almost everything! When I add a new song (not on Itunes store but outside source) of an artist that I have in my library, it is not added to the artist was, but create a new section of aritst, with exactly the same artist name / sometimes it says "unknown aritst" instead, even if the the aritst ID3 tag is correct. I tried to play with the tags, but nothing helped. Another bug is when you edit the tags of some songs by the artist and manually write the tag Album name to get the songs separated by albums - in this case, Itunes is separating each song a new section of the artist, and all have the same aritst name & album!

    I'm crazy and I really need help to fix it somehow, I want my library will organize

  • iOS 10 iTunes Photo Sync does not display albums

    Before the iOS10 upgrade, I got a folder on my PC with about 25 subfolders - with pictures organized in a special way that makes sense to me.  When I connected to iTunes, it has been configured to synchronize the main folder and each subdirectory would sync as an album on my iPhone - in other words, 25 folders = 25 albums and photos in the subdirectories corresponding pictures on the album of the iPhone.  Add a new folder on the PC and a new album is added on the iPhone.  Delete a file on the PC and the iPhone, it will be deleted.  Now it does not work after upgrade to iOS 10.  Is it a 'new '?  I've lost this ability?

    I see a few more albums folder based on my iPhone. I suggest shooting synchronize photos off, sync, then back - light Sync photos and sync again to see if this changes what you see on the device. If this is not the case, use the feedback of the iPhone.

  • iTunes sets the random track and album artwork when I add files

    Hey! I have iTunes 12.3.2 for Macbook Pro and I have a problem with the work.

    Whenever I have add files to iTunes of new selections, I end up getting automatically added work. Often, iTunes adds the first pages of random PDF as work of tracks which is so weird? Like, I see it in the track list for this playlist, right next to the track title to his left.

    However, when I actually open "Get Info" to this song, there no real work there under the title "work"! It is confusing because I see these pages of the PDF popping work in the actual playlist, but I have no way to remove them (in order to have no work for this track) unless I physically have to add a new photo work for this track under 'Get Info '.

    What should I do?

    (PS - I tried to run an AppleScript script to remove the work for selected files - did not work.) I ran yet another which would have all the track list with no work off those I chose - all these tracks on pdf files as the work "apparent" appeared. It's 04:00 and I am so tired of this *.)

    With iTunes open, click file > library > get Album artwork.

    Doesn't seem like iTunes Gets the correct information, or one at all.

    Control iTunes > Preferences > Store > check "automatically download album artwork.

  • ITunes is of note to the whole Albums instead of individual songs

    When I evaluate an individual song album is classified.

    This issue seems to occur only when evaluating a song from a playlist.

    I can't repeat this behavior.  It seems to happen randomly.  I can do the same procedure 10 times, and it can occur only 1/10.

    This is not a recent problem.  I was aware for well over a year.  At no time I never rated an album, however I regularly have to wade through my appreciation according to playlists smart weeding nominal albums.

    Black Blue stars are manual sides. You can edit the ratings in most views where they can be seen, with the exception of the column Album of note in the view of songs where they are not active. Activate and expand the column work instead, when it is quite wide there is an active side that you can modify.

    Dark Gray stars are ratings auto generated in response to manual ratings. Manually securities on the side of an album will be automatically rate the album if it is not already evaluated. Notation manually an album will self evaluate any track not classified.

    You can remove the automatic ranking with my scripts ClearAlbumAutoRating or ClearTrackAutoRating , which sets the manual values of 1%. A score of zero allows the behavior of auto side where not classified titles are given a side-car, which corresponds to the side of the album, and an album not class boasts a rating that reflects the rounded average of no assigned manually track. Match scripts to make things if you want to restore the automatic categorization later.

    In recent months, it seems to be another issue where after titles were noted on a device synchronization can result in an album to get a full capacity in iTunes. I hope that Apple are aware of this problem and can be solved in a generation later... maybe.

    Use iTunes your comments if you want to make suggestions to Apple.

  • iTunes will not random on my iPhone6S after updating IOS

    My iTunes will not BE NOT random at all after I did this 10.0.2 software update!  I mean, if I hit random play on one of my playlists, does not choose a song randomly on the reading list and literally play it over and over and over again.  Basically, it does the OPPOSITE of brewing.  It is a major problem and my phone and my iTunes worked very well before this update! Suggestions?   Please?   Or, is the way to Apple, this to trick me into buying a whole new phone?

    Hello Vesper40,

    I understand that, despite trying to mix a playlist, your iPhone is just to play one song of this playlist repeatedly. In such a situation, you may need to disable the screen playing snooze in the music app.

    Control playback. Tap a song to play and show the MiniPlayer. Tap the MiniPlayer to display the now playing screen, where you can do the following:

    Repeat steps. Glisser slide upward, then press on to repeat an album or a playlist. Double click to repeat one piece.
