so in anticipation of getting a itouch for christmas i downloaded itunes. well my music isnt formatted to have the correct title, song name, etc. i couldnt find how to do this. i assume it has to be done outside of itunes, but im not sure. I would also like to know how to get it to add the album pic once its edited corectly.

example, the song name has all of the info, and the artist and album are blank.

thanks

Right-click the song and select get info.

Once you are in there double click the album art (which will say ‘no album art’ or something) and it will let you browse for pics.

If you have to do songs in bulk download a free trial of Tag & Rename.

To get the image in there, you can either have iTunes try to locate it or simply google search it and then drag the image into the area that says album art or w/e.

I usually do one album at a time…The program takes a little tweaking but it’s works really well when it’s all said and done.

Sometimes it will see:

Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 1  
Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2

and tag them automatically as:

Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 1  
Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 1

so you have to manually change the second one to part 2. But like I said I changed a few settings around and have it setup to my liking, I breeze through tagging a lot faster then entering it all in by hand.

demonoid Might have it…I encourage you to purchase it.

The trial version: you can only tag 5 songs at once  
Paid Version: Tag unlimited amount

that’s the only difference. But for a large library like I have It was worth the $25
