ITunes metadata

• 2 questions about the game

  I am looking for a subscription game to more easily keep our music which is currently distributed on 2 computers and a 3rd external hard drive which has some as well.  In any case, in reading information on match seems to be what to synchronize all this.  However, I couldn't quite find the answers on these...

  1. If I have a song to a rate of 128 bit and iTunes has a 256 flow game, when I re-download the 256 bit rate to the computer does it come with all standard iTunes metadata as well?

  2. If I have a song which, at a rate of 320, reduces iTunes game quality 256?

  Thanks for any help and information.

  Hello

  iTunes game changes the traces on your computer. When you get a corresponding track / purchased, you must select Remove download of the song with some rare down then redownload the 256 Kbps version. If the original version is 320 Kbps, you must keep the original, but these tracks will be 256 Kbps on other devices. Metadata should not be changed.

• Why don't the addition of metadata to be added manually in the iTunes library song change metadata in Windows Explorer and anywhere else?

  Adding metadata to a song in the iTunes library has no effect anywhere else (as in Windows Explorer or the Groove music).

  I would like to know if I have disabled this in error or if it is not guaranteed to all visitors.

  Where it is not provided to customers, I would like to know how iTunes stores this metadata and whether it can be automatically sent to the library of Windows.

  Thank you.

  A reason of changes committed to iTunes cannot be is covered in the tip of the user, fix the iTunes for Windows security permissions but iTunes usually returns to the original data if you probably don't see this particular problem. The other possibility is of several tags.

  Several tags (Mp3 files only)

  The ID3 specification allows files to have several tags in different versions and languages, but iTunes does not work properly with simple tags. When multiple tags are present it can sometimes do not apply updates to the tag that reads back (probably update one of the others in the file) and it is also possible that the iPod and iTunes may have different rules for the tag that they give priority to. This could lead to situations where everything is properly organized in iTunes, but then inexplicably collapses on an iPod, or tracks that display different information in Windows Explorer or another media player. There are tags 3rd party editors that allow to manipulate several tags, but I don't have a casual recommendation. A workaround in iTunes is to use the context menu convert the ID3 Tags... > None a few times to remove all the labels, then convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3 to build a cool tag with information still held in the iTunes database. I've read in the past that iTunes is not completely compatible with the specification v2.4, although this may be the case, support is more however for v2.3 is widespread, then I would say using v2.3 to v2.4. All embedded work will be deleted so it must be replaced if wanted. For Windows users running a script named CreateFolderArt before and after the cleaning process tag should handle this.

  Note that some data, for example the sides and the counties of game, is only stored in the database internal iTunes and not surrounded by tags.

• Eliminate duplicate entries iTunes but keep metadata

  So I accidentally deleted my iTunes media, but no biggie, because it's all backed up.  I dragged the backup directory (that is, just the files music and video) in iTunes.  Now I have two entries for each song in my library - one who has specific metadata (playcount, date added, etc.), but is a broken link and another entry that works, but doesn't have the metadata I want to keep.

  I want to have is an application or a script that's going to associate the file linked in the new topic with the old entry and then remove the new entry.  Is there something like this?

  I DON'T want to go and do it manually.  Nor do I want one of the many applications that will just delete the entries of dead link.

  Is that maybe I could make an Applescript script for?  (I have some experience of programming, but have never messed with AppleScript).

  Since you have a good backup, forget the library mess you created and just restore the whole iTunes folder. This will give you the files and metadata.

• Metadata only show in iTunes (not the music folder)

  There are a handful of songs in my music folder that appear to have no metadata, but present artists, albums, etc. when played in iTunes. How can I fix this problem so that the metadata are presented in two iTunes, in my music folder? Thank you

  Edit: I have the latest version of iTunes and Windows 7.

  What format are the tracks?

• The songs that have had their metadata changed in iTunes have disappeared from my iPhone

  I'm a music Apple and iTunes game iCloud user of the music library. Suffice it to say that aloud, it occurs to me that this stuff is a mess and may expect that this works correctly are just wishful thinking.

  I use Apple's music since the day wherever she launched. Recently, as in the last two weeks, I noticed that some albums on my iPhone was missing songs. In any case, I think that the missing songs are the ones where I edited the title of the song and possibly other metadata in iTunes. It is difficult for me to check if ALL the Apple music songs where I edited the title are messed up now, but it goes back far enough, certainly before I began to experience songs that disappears.

  To give you a concrete example, some time ago, I added the 2pac album "2pacalypse Now." In the Apple's music, this album lacks all the features of the song of songs, so I added back in. For a while things were fine, but recently the songs where I added the functionality for the title of the song disappeared from my iPhone. Now, all I see are five titles that do not have features and a link to "Show full Album" down.

  I spoke with @applemusichelp on Twitter last night and they asked me to turn off music Apple and iCloud music library on my iPhone, reboot the phone, identify new in music Apple and reactivate iCloud music library. Did not work. Their recommendation then was, "Don't change the metadata for the Apple music titles in iTunes." To which my answer was: "so why iTunes allows you to edit metadata for pieces of Apple's music in the first place?"

  Anyone else having this problem? Someone at - it a solution?

  As I said in my recently published issue, the songs have not disappeared. They are still there, but they appear as "Unknown artist" and "Unknown Album" (you can search for them browse by 'Songs' rather than the 'artists' or 'Albums'). This is an extremely annoying bug that I wish that they difficulty - I loved the Apple music was the fact that I could edit the tags...

• 12.3.1.23 iTunes won't download album despite the correct metadata artwork

  For some albums, iTunes 12.3.1.23 will not download album despite the correct metadata artwork.

  It will download other graphic works (sometimes even when metadata is not correctly match).

  Is it possible to determine the metadata that should be used to force iTunes to actually download the art for a specific album of the store?

  Or is it possible to download the work of the store to an album without metadata change?

  If iTunes works the same as it has for a while, I don't want to download the work manually and then manually associate the iTunes tracks, because that adds a copy of the work of each of the files.  (if iTunes has been changed to not insert a copy of the work in all track files when you manually add work instead of download from the store in iTunes, please let me know)

  It seems to be a problem in the interaction between iTunes and the store which results in the failure to return the work even when metadata are matched.  Drawn from here and elsewhere, it started with the release of iTunes 12.2 and the launch of Apple's music and many receive some press releases, pending a fix (which could be an iTunes update or correction for the operation of the store), there is no alternative other than the addition of work from other sources.

• iTunes will not regroup under the name of artist albums

  I noticed at the bar on the left with the artists, sometimes there are twice, the same artist, with each having only some of the albums and I can't group all albums under the name of an artist to the bar.for some artists can't do, but I did it because some others.anyone know what to do?

This works often but I had cases where securities combined when a letter has been added but divorced when he was kidnapped again.

  The following sections provide additional solutions:

  Often a solution: select all the tracks on the album, file > info (or right-click > news > Details) and give them all a single "album artist", or check the indicator of "compilation" (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085#17670085).

  If they are several CD sets, you will also need to enter the appropriate information in the fields of number of disk.  If they are not a set of multiple CDs that you must always make sure any vacuum or disc number fields are properly defined.

  If they are mp3 files are trying to change the version of the ID3 tag, which can cause iTunes to re - write the tags and clarify inconsistencies.  I use iTunes 7.5 (Yes, from 2007) so I can't tell you where it is in later versions.

  I had a case of grouping stubborn reality.  The tracks will be re-group in a way that has no meaning when I changed metadata.  Without going into details, I deleted tracks iTunes completely, then add the files and they are all grouped together correctly.

• Video metadata date is incorrect: the value and not of creation date sharing

  10 iOS, iPhone 6 +, Windows 10. Photos and videos are shared through iCloud, but NOT stored in iCloud.

  Once synced on my PC, the photos and videos have a truncated name (for example, "016a1f2e11dfcc680e1009cb96346b67678fb2c6bc.jpg"). Of course, this is not acceptable at all to me when I organize them on my NAS: I prefer a significant, sortable name, as "2016-09-16 18-15-20259 (Apple iPhone 6 more) .jpg.

  To do this, I simply read the EXIF information directly from the image, and I rename the image accordingly. No problem for the photos.

  But for videos... I do the same, in the world, but with less information. I can extract only creation date/time from metadata of the videos, not the unit that captured video. Sad, but I have not found anything else, and at least it's automatic.

  Recently, I found that the date in the video file is NOT correct: this is the timecode of SHARING via iCloud, not the timecode CAPTURE. I have therefore some videos with a delta of two weeks between the true creation as well as the "official" date

  I checked this on my phone: date is correct (once the video is no longer in full screen, the date is displayed at the top of the screen, and it is 'the' date I'm looking).

  So, question: How can I get the date of the 'real' creation of all these videos on my PC? It exists: it appears on the iPhone that took the video (a woman) AND mine. Information is 'lost' only on the PC, but I think it's a problem of reading of 'bad' metadata (I use FFMPEG to get currently), or the wrong file for reading (perhaps within an iTunes/database file, but didn't find, not found in the registry or the other).

  Best solution is to find something operate locally, through the command line, to do it in batch mode. A solution of GUI PEUT agree if I can automate with AutoIt (i.e. should not be a native Win32 application, not Java, .NET, GTK, QT and so on, OR must have an export feature). A solution based on the web is not suitable, but can be less boring to review each video one after another to manually check the date.

  Thanks in advance.

  In my opinion, the only way to fix this is with third-party software like this one.

• iTunes deleted 12.5.1.21 options of reading audio books

  Just updated iTunes to version 12.4.3.1 on Windows 10 PC 12.5.1.21

  Before the update, there are two options for reading audio books: remember the playback position and jump when brewing.  (to find these, select Get info on the audio book and choose the tab options).

  In the new update, these two check boxes have been removed. I hope that the answer is because there is little (or not) users who wouldn't never want these options, and the developers of iTunes just hardcoded these options in the metadata file.

  So what is the reason for their removal? If the options are always available at the place where have they been moved?

  I see these options, but cannot change them and the media type is set to Audiobook. Setting Media type for music and applying, then find the article, options and change the type of media to Audiobook works but is a bit lengthy. Use iTunes Feedback or Apple Bug Reporter to Apple let know.

• iTunes "splits" a purchase

  Having recently purchased an iTunes compilation he was "divided" into 2 albums.

  Is there a way to "Merge" these titles in one of the albums?

  Hi Alan, VianAlky,.

  I understand that you have recently purchased a compilation on the iTunes Store album, but the album does not correctly appear in your library.  The resources below will explain why this happens and how to edit metadata in iTunes.

• Downloading movies iTunes transfer between computers

  I downloaded a movie from iTunes on my Macbook Pro and want to transfer this file on my Mac Mini, which is connected to the TV. I tried to copy the file, but when I opened the file m4v on Mac Mini video open like a video at home instead of a movie. I was able to change the file type in the settings, but still the video does not appear as a purchase of iTunes with a link to iTunes Extras and other metadata.

  I know that technically I could download the movie directly from the internet to the Mac Mini, but given that I have a quota of strict data where I live (and the internet is not very fast), I would rather avoid this option if possible. I wouldn't be able to just copy the file rather than download it again on a new device?

  I would appreciate any advice.

  P.S. Something I may have stumbled, but have not yet tried: loading film on an iPad since the MacBook Pro and then by downloading it from the iPad to the Mac Mini via iTunes. Sounds ridiculous, but may not be too much work, so I'll probably give it a try.

  P.P.S. I use iTunes version 12.5.1.21

• iTunes will not save work of film

  I use the latest version of iTunes 12.4.2.4 and I can't seem to save the work of film. I add to the tab work getinfo and it display.  Once I click OK it won't save the metadata.  I'm so frustrated.  I want to just junk from apple to work as advertised.  This has always worked, UNTIL I updated to iTunes 12.

  Any thoughts?

• 12.4.2.4 iTunes messes up Album and artists views

  Since I installed version12.4.2.4, iTunes seems to mess up the metadata of my music files and/or albums not correctly appear in the views of artist and Album. In the last 24 hours I have torn/imported 2 albums.

  The first album I tore guard split into 2 artists, both with exactly the same name than the other artist. Other tracks on the album are about an artist, and the rest of the tracks are on the other artist. To the track, I see that the tracks belong to an album, but for the Album I see 2 albums and to the artist, I see 2 artists.

  The second album I ripped gets combined with another album - already - in the Album an artists views. Still, in the view of the track I can see the newly imported album clearly as a separate album, but two Album reviews and artist, I see it combined with another album as an album.

  I checked so to double all the metadata for these tracks and that everything seems OK. How can I stop this wrong behavior?

  You need to 'force' iTunes to re - write metadata.

  Follow these instructions. Method #2 is probably the one you need.
