iTunes not systematically renaming imported MP3 files

I am running iTunes 12.3.2 on multiple systems (all Windows 10, both 32 - and 64-bit).  I noticed some strange behavior when adding media mp3 Amazon-bought to my iTunes library.  Since I was the copy... Keep organized... options and enabled in Edit > preferences > advanced the expected result is that iTunes should rename files as they are copied, depending on the model:

  • .MP3 (single disc albums)
  • - (multi disc albums) .mp3

My standard practice is, if necessary, to update the metadata of files mp3 apart from iTunes using Foobar 2000 (since it gives a lot better in bulk tools than iTunes edition), generally I do changes such as:

  • correction of names of artist, Album and the track if they do not correspond to my standard conventions (or are simply not true)
  • adjusting artist award so that securities presenting artists invited in the value of the artist rather than added on behalf of the track
  • removing the irritants suffixes like '(Live)","(Remastered)","(version Album) "than Amazon / media companies add to their track provided metadata"
  • check and if necessary change the mp3 version to be marking ID3v2.3 and by removing all redundant tag versions

That's why I wait for iTunes to be constantly renaming of files during the import process correspond to the values of metadata.  However, I came to open a Windows Explorer window and look for the folder created by iTunes to a new import.  My library on an external drive, so for the folder names, the model is:

  • : \\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\-

What I see here is one of two conditions:

  • the names of files after the copy operation are the same as those downloaded on Amazon, i.e., was did not updated to reflect changes in metadata, or
  • are a mixture of original file names Amazon and good names generated by iTunes

A thorough inspection showed that further updates in iTunes (for example, modify the associated work) corrects then all file names to match the pattern expected as determined by the parameter "Keep." organized... ».

In some ways, I actually don't care about what I usually don't worry about how iTunes stores/names of media files as long as it preserves the integrity of my library.  However, this may be associated with other symptoms (especially the questions repeatedly reported with albums with not properly) which suggest that recent versions of iTunes have had problems with the assessment rules based on metadata.

Everyone looks the same?  I think that this should be reported as a bug, but I prefer to verify that this isn't an oddity associated with my library (even if I have several computers running iTunes they use all copies of the same library).

Clarification (since I can't change the original view)... when I talk about my use of Foobar 2000, the workflow that I use is:

  • Download purchased files using the Amazon Music app, which I configured to not automatically add new downloads for iTunes
  • load files in Foobar 2000 and update metadata
  • importing files into iTunes

Thus, changes to metadata are all made before that anything that is either added to iTunes.

    Hello, guenoun.

    I seem to have the same problem as tantoe but when I clicked on the link in your message, it took me to the page, but the person's recommendation was not good; It (don't remember the name) had two links to click & when I clicked on the two I was redirected to a page that says that the page could not be found.

    The song with that I have a problem is "I'm in love (with a killer)" by Jeffree Star &, as with all my other audio files that I did NOT have this problem with, is mp3 format. I have a video in mind with this song & pictures I saved star but Windows Movie Maker cannot import it.

    If there is anything you could do, advice you could give, I would really appreciate it. This is my favorite song by Jeffree Star & it drives me crazy not being able to import it into Movie Maker. :-/

  • I'm not able to import RAW files in my LR, HELP! Thank you!! :)

    For the wedding I'm actually now I hired a 2nd shooter and it's her I'm not able to download the RAW files. (previously I had another 2nd shooter and had no problem downloading the RAW files and I shoot in JPG, so do not treat RAW too) I don't know what is the question, but I get this error when importing:

    "The files are a camera which is not recognized by the RAW format support in Lightroom." (247)"and then it doesn't matter these images.

    I need to solve imports RAW question as soon as POSSIBLE and think about the upgrade (this can even be the cause?), is the creative cloud my only option? It is possible to buy just a licensed copy? Thank you very much!!!

    Devices supported by Camera Raw

    The link above lists camera makes and models supported by Lightroom and what version of Lightroom takes supported only the camera.

    You need not necessarily upgrade Lightroom - although this isn't a bad idea and the $9.99 / month, Plan of photography is a great value for a photographer wedding and guard you up to date with the latest version and features at any time.

    If you aren't ready to upgrade, then you can use the free Adobe's DNG Converter to create DNG files from Raw images, and then change the DNG in your version of Lightroom"

  • XP is not start properly, important data files on the hard drive, location unknown such as e-mail addresses, individual emails and favorite links on Internet Explorer. The system is damaged irreparably, what is the solution?

    I need ideas to solve this problem.

    You can retrieve the data without being able to get into Windows. The methods described require a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself best, and if a better course of action would be to take the machine to a local professional with a good reputation instead. If you choose to do, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

    2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

    * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it- http://www.pendrivelinux.com

    We are editing a film with the RED material and does much, but we can not inport QT files. We have installed all the codecs relavent (ProRes, DNX) and installed QT7. All other associated QT applications on the computer can open the QT files very well, but the first present the error 'we could open the file on the disk." Rebuilt the cache as well. No love.

  • Why iTunes version 12.3.2 not add to the library or read new .mp3 files?

    My iTunes does not open a new .mp3 file. I tried to drag and drop, tried the menu file > add to library..., then select files, tried a click with the right button of the mouse and 'open with... '. ' iTunes, but none worked. Files never start to play on iTunes. They are working on other software (QuickTime, VLC, etc) how to fix this bug? The version of iTunes is the most recent 12.3.2.

    Not all mp3s are encoded with a software which is compatible with iTunes.

  • Some MP3 files are not recognized by Fuze

    I have a 4 GB Fuze v1. I got this as a Christmas present and want to use it to listen to Audio and video podcasts. I updated the Firmware from V01.01.22A. My problem with him that some MP3 files will not be recognized. MP3 files are on the card of 2 GB external so I, MPT/MSC mode does not matter. For example, "NPR: CarTalk Podcast" in format mp3 will not play but "The Index Investing Show" podcast also in mp3 format will play very well. I first noticed it with downloaded mp3 files iTunes, I do not think it is an iTunes related issue because the same podcast downloaded directly from the NPR site will also fail. No idea what is the problem? Here is the link to the download of the podcast (use the button download MP3/4): http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=9911203

    I solved the problem first I used Any Audio Converter to convert MP3 to MP3 with the same audio features. The file is converted to the same sheet worked! I noticed converted file was not any ID3 tag information in the original file. After playing a bit with MP3Tag software and tags removal began, I found that the offending tag has been KIND on the value of 'Podcast '. Fuze does not recognize "Podcast" in the field of the kind so he simply ignored, rather than list it under "unknown". In my view, that it is a bug. Sansa must list the MP3 files under Tote 'Unknown' when 'Genre' tag is present, but the value does not match any of the existing tags.
