I know this doesn't belong here, but I need help. Please. It's kind of PJ related. I just dl the new iTunes version and for some reason every time I add a song to my iPod, the id tag is Binaural. Could be AIC, Soundgarden, Sabbath, whoever. Please help! Any ideas.

I can't stand iTunes. It sucks.

    I quit Itunes a few years ago. They can bite me.

    It's the album artwork.

    It's the album artwork.

    ...& the artist info & the album info & the track # info & the composer info & the genre info....etc.

    I don't really know anything about this, but I know you can edit this stuff by highlighting something and hitting ctrl- i. Not sure if that helps or not?

    right click on song>get info....manually changes what you have...if you want to get titles/artist automatically , right click on song>get track names...gracenote should fill in the blanks

    Try the customer support on Apple.com for answers. Other itunes users might have had the same problem.

    right-click the track or album and choose EDIT or GET INFO depending if you are Mac or PC. Pretty easy process. ANything you are importing not bought from the store you pretty much have to edit to the way you want.
    "All I Ever Knew" available now in print and digital formats at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iBooks.

    The OP can edit it by hand, but shouldn't have to. At least on a Mac, all the info should import properly. Macs are very "plug and play" that way. Another option is to try going to "Advanced" and selecting "get CD track names."

    Alright, I must not have been very clear, so I have no issue with iTunes. Everything there is what it should be. All the song names, bands, artwork etc. are good. It's when I send them to my iPod is where it's whack. It goes onto my iPod fine, and the band name and track names are fine, but the artwork comes up Binaural for everything. I guess I will just have to try and go through the iTunes help option, but even that is screwy. Thank you all for your help though.

    seems like its in the ID3 tag...if you've manually gone thru itunes & set each songs artwork, it should be there.

    The strange thing is, when I look at the songs on my iPod from my computer screen, and I click on that song (say I Believe in Miracles) to play it from my iPod but through the computer, it has the right artwork. But Binaural art is displayed on my iPod screen. I don't understand that.

    Thats odd the first thing I would do is delete the artwork on Binaural and than you can always load up another image. If not than just restore the Ipod back to factory settings and than resynch it.

    I go into "Get Info" click on artwork, which has the correct artwork on the computer screen, but not on the actual iPod, and delete that image and replace it with that same image and it always comes up Binaural. I will try to reset to factory settings and see if that does anything. Thanks.

    The reset is always the best option, that is very strange only thing else I could think of would be to just delete the album and find another copy maybe its corrupted in some way but the reset should do the trick.

    Haha. I am in the middle of restoring it. I hope that does the trick. Otherwise I will have to contact apple and see if anything can be done.

    I'm happy to report that the restore was a success, thank you, but for some reason all my music wasn't backed up. All my apps were. Oh well. Guess I have work to do.
