• 'Unknown' artist/album? (from iTunes/Mac)

  I had a few problems by dragging & files.  First of all, I had a lot of files like ghosts. _abc.MP3, I managed to get rif of them to transfer files using KopyMac.

  Now, there's always this problem than a few titles, even if they are correctly tagged in iTunes that they get still classified as 'Unknown' Album or artist. I first thought that it was a problem of ID3 tagging, so I went from v2.2 to v2.3 to v2.4, but that did not resolve the isssue.  Currently I've got 493 songs on the Clip and 2 appear as unknown artist and 14 appear as Unknown Album.  Iniitally I thought I could just move to their correct folders on the Clip using the Mac Finder but as it turns out that they are already in place!

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Nope - tag edition is not available directly from the element.

• Windows Media Player displays only one album with the unknown artist.

  Original title: strange going ons

  When I go to my music using windows Explorer, it shows a folder named unknown artists with 7 subfolders.

  When I bring the windows media player, it displays only an album with an unknown artist.

  When I open one of these subfolders, writing the name of the artist, but all the tracks have been listed as track 1, track 2, track... in the library, that I went to this artist's album. He entered all the information correctly. When I clicked open the location of the file that shows the location of the albums as one of the subfolders under unknow artist and all tracks as track 1...

  so, how did we can list everything correctly in the library but point to incorrect information?

  Hello

  What are the file format of the files shown in the subfolders of the library?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: I suggest you follow these steps and check.

  You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Step 1

  a. exit Windows Media Player.

  b. for Windows Vista: click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player , and then click OK.

  c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  d. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Step 2

   If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  a. exit Windows Media Player.

  b. If you run Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.

  c. Select the folder Media Playerand then click delete on the file menu.

  d. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Also note before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.

  Method 2:

  If the steps above do not resolve the problem, you can try to disable Windows Media player and then enable the feature that is as good as the uninstall and put it back. Follow the steps below to do the same.

  To enable or disable the Window Media Player, follow these steps:

  a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click programsand then click Windows turn on or off features. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• Unknown genre, album with other titles

  On my 8 GB rocket, other titles on some albums are left with kind unknown, artist unknown, and/or unknown album.  This occurs if the tracks are on the internal memory or the card microSDHC.  In any case, it seems that the title contains special characters.  Other songs from the same album and even tags id3, without special characters are indexed properly.

  Albums of the example to one or several tracks appearing as unknown kind are Shivo-Ham of Angelika, Shepherd Moons Enya and The Memory of Trees and universal of DEWA CHE Dechen Shak - Dagsay power mantras of healing Tibetan albums.

  [Update: Angelika album can be a different issue.]  While the type appears as unknown (instead of singing), Angelika artist name is displayed.  It seem not to be special characters in question anywhere with this.]

  The titles are synchronized with media monkey running Windows XP SP3.  Firmware is the last - 01.01.15A.

  Is there no solution to workaround, other that the retitling the tracks?

  Would be nice if it could be repaired.

  You'll probably have to call. Are you sure that Media Monkey made tags ID2v2.3 ISO-8859-1? (ISO instead of UTF - etc.).

• How to customize the order of music files in the folder (no not with artist, album, #, genre or classification tabs)

  I'm trying to transfer a playlist from Itunes on a folder, but I can't understand how to keep the order of the songs as I had them in the Itunes playlist.  I can't get files .mp3 alphabetically for the artist, album or genre.  Or according to numerical order by track number # or rating.  Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

  Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show how to reset the display settings for the Windows File Explorer, disable Automatic folder Type Discovery (which is I think what you want)and increase the folder display the cache to make Vista do not forget the display settings, the folder type template, the size or the position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

  It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

  Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

  Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

  I hope this helps with your situation - it may take more than one item to come up with the solution - but I would start with paragraph 3.

  Good luck!

• Unknown artist - I have read the forums, but most of my problems have to do w /. WAV to CD ripped

  Windows XP

  FUZE 8 gig

  8 GB microsd.

  v02.01.17A

  WMP 11

  About 1/3 of my songs come as album artist unknown/unknown and other messages, but all those that I have problems with is torn from my own library of CD in. WAV format.  All the correct info is displayed in WMP.  When I look at the titles of song on my ROCKET, he seems to know the names of the songs, except that there are numbers in front of them.  I tried to rename them in WMP, but could not make it work.  I even tried a program to tag, but he wouldn't let me even choose wav format.

  When I hit 'play together' to the list of unknown songs, it toggles through them without playing one of them.  Once again, all the information is correct in WMP, but some of it is not just transfer them to the device.  Acutally, the vast majority of the issues are with the files on the sd card, but I don't think that it is the sd card.

  I really want to do this because my wife has a sansa e260 and she has no problem with him.  It would be nice to be able to share accessories, and. Al.

  I'd appreciate any help you could give.  It took me about 10 hours to rip/burn/SNYC all my stuff so far.

  I would re - pluck them out in .mp3 format. Then, you can use MP3Tag or a similar marking program dedicated to ensure tags are correct. This will avoid the "unknown" to cause you pain.

• Cannot delete WAV files listed under unknown artist

  original title: Media Library has its Windows of artist unknowen and wav files by default windows of half of my library

  music media player has Windows files WAV hundreds of them unknowen artist Icant get rid of them

  You can solve this problem without rerip the whole album.
  Just use Audacity. The program is free and have metadata editor. The new file will be without problems. I had the same problem - with winamp.  But in my case - the CD is dead and I can't rerip the content.

• How iTunes respect my custom artist/Album homework?

  Hello!  I am trying to transfer my iTunes music library (more 11 000 songs) from the hard drive of my old laptop (a Windows machine) to my MacBook Air (MacOS 10.10.5, iTunes 12.3.2) by copying the iTunes Media folder: Music on the old hard drive to the iTunes Media: automatically add to iTunes on my Mac folder.  In the process, I expected to "re-brand" many files to do things like making the composer the artist under which classical compositions are deposited, for example, Bach all in an artist called Bach folder (instead of have it all scattered on in different folders corresponding to the performers) and have all the tracks on the CD to several albums in a single title of the album folder (and not in separate folders for) each drive), etc.  I did already a lot of this work by hand and worked to do things in the Album artist file: unknown unknown, when I accidentally opened iTunes and it began to the add to iTunes process (which I now want to 'Cancel', if possible).  It was my pants up, but then I noticed that all the work I did for the files to "reposition" in the records of the artist and the Album of my choice is not met: in the iTunes Media folder: Music, records that I had deleted have been recreated and files I had put elsewhere were released in the old folder structure , which obviously I don't like, or I wouldn't go to so much trouble to change it.  So is there a way to achieve my goal, i.e., customize the artist and Album of the folder names and content, preferably before all be imported into iTunes, and iTunes will respect and preserve?  Thank you!

  You shouldn't do like that.  Instead, you need to take your entire iTunes folder (and not just your iTunes Media folder) on the Windows PC and put it on the MacBook Air to replace its existing iTunes folder.  iTunes on the new MacBook will look like in iTunes on the old Windows PC, with all songs and data, such as playlists, ratings, play count, date added, etc.  The existing "metadata" will be the same as before, and you can continue to work to better organise your songs in iTunes.

  If you do as you describe, your NEW iTunes library on the MacBook will be more disorganized, and you won't have your playlists (all the songs will be new songs in a new library).  This new iTunes library won't know anything about the old iTunes library.  iTunes doesn't care of the existing folder structure when you import the songs (iTunes considers new songs) to a new iTunes library.  By using the default settings, iTunes keeps the folder iTunes Media organized, based on what you see in the list of iTunes window name song music library (more Track #), Album name and artist name.

  The procedure to transfer your complete iTunes folder is described in this document

  Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external drive - Apple Support

  To sum up, the first step "consolidates" your iTunes media files (from where they are currently stored on your drive), in the designated folder iTunes Media (in your iTunes folder).  All your media files may already be store here.  Second copies of step ("backup") this folder full iTunes (which includes your iTunes library database file very important), on an external drive.  The third step "restores" that backs up the iTunes folder, in your case, for the new MacBook.  With iTunes not running, you replace the existing folder to iTunes of the MacBook with the old Windows PC.  When you run iTunes, it uses this iTunes folder; you see the same iTunes library.

• Unknown artist in music app for all m4as

  My music is on my Windows Home Server v1. This location is added to my music library.

  The music app in RTM of Windows 8 and Windows RT picks up all the music, but a good 30% of the titles are attributed to the artist unknown and unknown album.

  I did some research and here are all the files m4a, rather than mp3s.

  Windows Media Player takes these well and displays all metadata.

  If I copy locally they appear in music app Windows 8 ok.

  Why the music app Windows 8 do not remove the metadata from the network share.

  I understand that the Photos app captures not things from one share WHS (at all) because it is not indexed by Windows 7 or superior indexer.

  One of the team of music app would confirm if it is the same reason or if it is a bug?

  It's to do with indexing. You need a windows 7 or above an indexer for the m4as to be indexed correctly, music should be sitting on a windows share 7, 8 or windows server 2008 or 2012.

• 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?

  If you see unexpected songs groups when you browse an album - https://support.apple.com/HT204538 - 'songs from the same album may not be grouped as expected when you view them in display Albums in iTunes."

  For most people this solution seems to be one that works: August 2008 post by turingtest2 temporarily change labels - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7904806#7904806 or http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/merge.asp - add a letter at the end of the name of the artist, close the read information, then open it again and remove the letter. 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).

  Steve MacGuire alias turingtest2 - iTunes and iPod tips and tricks - grouping beaches in Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (old post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895#9910895)

  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.

  Another explanation of hhgttg27 August 2015 - https://discussions.apple.com/message/27784417#27784417

  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.

• Sort by year by the artist album

  In AppleTV, I can choose an artist and then display all of their albums. It only sorts alphabetically. I would like to than the other sort by year. How?

  My AppleTV gets all his music in the cloud to Match iTunes, if that makes a difference.

  It is not possible to change the order on Apple TV. You can use Apple TV Feedback.

  As the order on the Apple TV is an alphabetical sort on the sort Album value, you could potentially manipulate the value of this field, but doing so has knock on effects in other views of the library, so you should consider whether or not the exercise would be worth the effort.

• Update iTunes 12.0.4.119 does not sort by artist album?

  With the last iTunes update, all my compilations are now classified under V (for various artists), even though at least half of them are not compilations of real and I prefer that they are filed with the main artist.  For example, the last album tribute to George Harrison (George Fest), I have the compilation box checked and individual artists listed for each track.  However, in the artist field album, I put "Harrison, George (Various Artists)" while the album is ranked immediately after my albums of George Harrison.  Now she is mixed with because v that the iTunes update eliminated the ability to sort by album artist.  I'm missing something here, or should I wait for the next update and hope they add this back in?

  iTunes will sort albums separately if the indicator "the Album is a compilation...". "is checked.  Unless you use an iPod Classic or another older iDevice, you can clear this check box and simply use the Album artist tag as you describe.

• When I sort by artist in my music, I want to see individual artists for songs, NOT the artist album called various.  Is this possible?

  I have an album called Billboard Hits 1962.  It's a compilation with several artists on the album album.  I notice that I can import music from my iPhone, but when I want to watch my music by artist, he ONLY see me the ARTIST of the ALBUM, not the artist of the song.

  Is it possible to change this so that I see an album or various artists, but when I list by the artist see the list of individual artists not the different which he named everyone.

  I tried every setting in iTunes to set up and that you can find no way to see the artists of the real song.
