I-Pdd - naming tracks

[andy-hughes]

I have recorded a mass of tracks onto my wife's I-pod from my collection. Because they are 'burned' CD's, they have just come up as Track One, Track Two and so on. Is there any way of re-naming them with their correct titles? I've right-clicked, but that option is not listed. Any advice appreciated.

In iTunes, right-click, get info. You can then rename.

Highlight several at once to mass-rename.

The best way to do this is to rip to the PC with a net connection, so that it'll do it automatically.

If you ripped the CDs using iTunes you should be able to look them up using the advanced option and the 'get CD names' option. If not the easiest way I know of to do this (apart from starting again) is to delete them in iTunes (leaving the files on the disk), downloading MP3Tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/) and using that to look up the CDs on the free cd database freedb, you just highlight a cd's worth of tracks and use the toolbar option to look them up. You then save the tags as they are called. Then use Ctrl+O in itunes to re-import the tracks and they should all have the names and artists on them. For all of these options you need an internet connection.

Thanks very much - I will try these options. A.

If none of that works, and you do have to do some re-naming, I would to to Amazon or HMV where the album has a track listing and Copy and Paste the names across, it is faster than typing them all out again.

I rename mine though and they dont go over as an album but individual songs, its soooooo annoying

That shouldn't happen.

Put them in a Playlist and export them to the iPod and they will right.
