iTunes keeps telling me it can't find around 150 songs and I have to manually point it to each folder - it offers to use location to find other missing tracks but that only works for songs in the same album folder, not other artists/albums. Is there something I can do to find all songs at once?

My total Itunes library contains about 55 Gb according to Itunes. However when checking in the finder, my Itunes folder is about 74 Gb. is this normal? or did I not import everything properly? however, each song I randomly check is in my music folder as in Itunes. Where are those 19 gb's?
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently purchased the Beatles Box Set from iTunes and am rather disappointed that many of the original album art is missing or applied to the wrong songs. What I would like to do is change the album art. Tried dragging new art to the iTunes icon etc., but just not finding anything that works. I have an app called ID3 Editor but it doesn't handlem4a files.

I regularly receive songs in WAV format. In the past, I have always converted them to AIFF to overcome tagging limitations with WAV. Up until recently, I converted songs from WAV to AIFF by right-clicking them in iTunes, then choosing "make AIFF file" (that's not the exact wording, but similar). Just tried to do so today and found that this option is now missing! Was this removed in the latest version of iTunes [I'm running 9.1.1 (12)]? Could it perhaps be restored by some command-line entry in Terminal?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems with songs I've loaded into iTunes not appearing in my library, even though they're on the hard drive, and properly filed in the iTunes folder.Â
I ripped all of my Beatles CDs a couple years ago, and now that I'm looking at them again, certain tracks are missing when I search under album, title, or artist.Â
Strangely enough, they ARE on the hard-drive, properly organized in the iTunes folder.Â
Even more strangely, when I try to drag the file into iTunes again, it STILL won't appear, though it WILL play. However, even when it plays, the library still does not show that the song exists. Do I now have to somehow rebuild the library? It seems like that's what's called for.Â

I have a Macbook with about 5,000 songs on it, all of which are burned from actual hard copies of CDs that I own. Rather than re-burning each CD to my new Windows computer, I would like to see if there's a way to transfer all these songs from Mac to PC using an external hard drive.Â
The real question is how can I format my external hard drive to be recognized on both a Macbook running Snow Leopard and a PC running Windows 7?

When I import songs from a CD, the songs are not appearing under Music in iTunes.
The track info is properly displayed for the mounted CD itself and the songs are correctly imported (green checkboxes appear, the MP3 files are placed in the correct folder under "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music", and the MP3 files are playable in Quicktime).
Details:
iTunes 10.0.1
Import settings: MP3 encoder, high quality (160kbps), use error correction

I have an iPhone and 8000 songs in mp3 files. I had the iPhone perfectly syncronized with iTunes in a Windows XP PC but i decided to buy both a new PC and a Macbook, so i saved ALL the 8000 song in several DVDs to backup them.
Unfortunately I had to re-syncronize my iPhone with the new computer (this time i used the mac with Leopard, iTunes 8).
First I copied the music (all the 8000 songs) to the HD on my Macbook. Then I opened iTunes and added the whole directory but ONLY 5000 SONGS WERE ADDED! I tried to manually drag the songs missing...but iTunes doesn't add them either.
I believed this was a problem with the Mac, so I sincronized my iPhone with the PC (Windows Vista, itunes 8.0) and when I tried to add the same songs (previously copied to the HD) ITUNES ADDED JUST 5000 SONGS AGAIN!
Then I tought that the problem were the mp3 files (bad burned) so i tried adding them to Windows Media Player and MusikCube, and all the 8000 songs were added without a problem!!
More than half of my music isn't showing up in iTunes- but the files are all still there in the iTunes music folder. Says my total library size is 14.41 GB but I have over 55 GB in my iTunes music folder

itunes library will sometimes separate songs from a single cd into two separate files with the same cover art and the same cd title. It will then list the artist twice in the library. It will not let me combine the two. How can I put them in the same file? And yes, the artist name is the same on "info".

My purchased songs do not appear in my library. And, none of my playlists appear. I haven't used my iPod in a while and I want to update it with new songs. If I try to sync it, I think all of the songs will be deleted from my iPod.

when I was younger i used a bunch of different apple ID's (which was really dumb) and I'm trying to get that music onto my computer. I downloaded the stuff I needed from the first apple ID and that worked fine. But when I tried with the second one it gave me the usual warning of 90 days you can't download something from a different ID. I'm just wondering if I download from the second ID, will the songs from the first ID disappear after I had already downloaded them from my library?

I have a number of songs that have gone missing from my music library. It will be one or two songs from a CD, all the songs originally imported a long time ago, or something recently downloaded. Sometimes if I select locate, they can be found, but most the time the songs have vanished and won't turn up in searches, but are still listed in iTunes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have spent a whole week importing songs from my external hdd to Itunes (ordering, adding album art, deleting double songs etc.) Almost 230 GB on music! Since I have a 500 GB hdd, I decided to deselect 'copy files to Itunes media folder' under preferences. I have a backup on my external hdd and I didn't know for sure if I would get the songs double (one in Itunes library and one in Itunes music folder, so taking up more space. I assumed that I could do this, since I read in 'Itunes help' that I could also deselect this option if you have your files stored on an external hdd.
While I was doing that my external hdd was connected to my laptop all the time. Today I finally finish the job, deconnected the hdd and found out that Itunes can't find any of my songs back! Only when I connect the external hdd to my laptop I can play the music. Is there a way to solve this problem or do I need to do it all over again while making a copy from my files to Itunes media folder? Since Itunes couldn't find any of my songs, I assume that for examply a 100 mb album will take up 100 mb on my hdd on my laptop and not 200MB?
Then there's a second problem: I deleted one of the albums in Itunes and imported the album again, but this time I selected the checkbox 'copy to itunes mediafolder when adding to library'. But now my songs are showing up double! One has the extension mp3 and the other one 1.mp3 When I go to Itunes mediafolder they show up there twice, so they don't show up in two separate folders. If I need to import all the songs again and delete the doubles manually it will take me ages
All my music has covers in iTunes Library. But after i updated to iOS 5.1 they are missing on my devices.
It happens every time i check "convert higher bit rate songs to 192/256 kbps" on iTunes 10.6 (40) on my Mac.
On the screenshot (iPad 2010 running iOS 5.1) Bon Iver's album copied by default settings, and Coldplay's album converted to 192 kbps.BTW on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) all covers are OK even when convert feature is ON.
