Title: iTunes Question Post by: jtex316 on March 01, 2006, 09:11:20 am I got an iPod Nano this weekend. It's fantastic.
I want to know how to change song titles, artists, and add in the album name in the display screen of the iPod, from iTunes. 1. Is this even possible? Ok here's what I mean. Here's how stuff currently displays in iPod: Metallica - Enter Sandman Metallica But for some reason, some songs display like this: Enter Sandman Metallica These same songs, in the master play list, display like this (which I don't like): AC / DC - Hells Bells AC / DC - Highway To Hell Enter Sandman Metallica - One Metallica - Ride The Lightning Get the pattern there? I mean I can handle the master list not having the artist's names, but i defnitely want the song display screen to be in this format Metallica Fuel ReLoad Anyone? Title: Re: iTunes Question Post by: Brian Fein on March 01, 2006, 09:15:56 am I think it has to do with the existance of your ID3 tags on the files. If your ID3 tags are properly filled out, it will display that info. If they are not, it will display the file name.
I'm not sure, myself, that's how MY non-iPod MP3 player works. Title: Re: iTunes Question Post by: JVides on March 01, 2006, 09:17:50 am Jtex, do you mean the display when the song plays?
Mine reads: Enter Sandman Metallica Black Album It always reads: Song Title Band Album As for changing song titles, artists, and album names, it can be done through your i tunes software and then downloaded onto your i pod Title: Re: iTunes Question Post by: jtex316 on March 01, 2006, 09:29:23 am Quote As for changing song titles, artists, and album names, it can be done through your i tunes software and then downloaded onto your i pod Great. Now HOW do I do that? Right-Clicking and choosing "display info" doesn't help - everything is properly filled out there. Title: Re: iTunes Question Post by: MaineDolFan on March 01, 2006, 09:39:16 am Strange - 70% of the songs on my iPod show a little picture of the album cover that the song is from - I wonder if the Nano can't do that? Mine is the larger 30gig jukebox.

Â Right-Clicking and choosing "display info" doesn't help - everything is properly filled out there It's a bit of a pain in the ass, because you have to do it for each song, each album. Â I can't give you instructions until I get home, since that's where my software's at. Quote Strange - 70% of the songs on my iPod show a little picture of the album cover that the song is from - I wonder if the Nano can't do that? Mine is the larger 30gig jukebox When I download music from i tunes, I get the album cover. When I upload from a CD, I have to copy & paste an album cover into the i tunes info section...

I'm not sure how that interacts with iTunes, though.

I'm not sure how that interacts with iTunes, though. it puts them into itunes .. you can sometimes even get lyrics on there and pictures of the inserts Title: Re: iTunes Question Post by: TonyB0D on March 01, 2006, 12:21:38 pm you have to right-click on the track and select GET INFO.
then click on the INFO tab (the summary tab is the one thats open by default) and make sure the correct info's filled out THERE. you then have to completley delete the files from the iPod and reload them. if you just hit "SYNC" it just adds/deletes new songs, not necessarily changes the ID3 information for existing tracks. there's no options in the iPod itself as to how to properly format and display the song information - that's controlled in the INFO tab. |
