WMP may also be involved in magially restoring data that you've deleted. It may also have problems if file security settings are incorrect, in which case it will appear to make a change, but then reveal the original data next time it accesses the track in some way.
#Id3 tag editor mac itunes update#
Sometimes it seems it can update one copy of the tag, but then read back data from the other. iTunes has a problem updating files with multiple tags, e.g. There may be a number of things going on. I want a solution to where my changes in iTunes of removing the track/disc numbers, years, and comments from songs will be permanent and not come back.Īlso, this problem has remained through every new version of iTunes released up to the current version as of the time I am typing this. I also tried with that option of adding copies to the library checked and it still didn't work. I even tried adding something to all comment boxes in iTunes to sync the libraries.that didn't work either. I tried a third-party program, MP3tag, before and after converting, both with the same result. I tried the opposite, editing all the info after adding the songs to the library THEN converting.same problem. After a few plays, the track/disc numbers, years, and comments come back, but song title/artist info/album info don't change and the album artwork I added remains. Then I edit all the song info to what I mentioned before in the Get Info box. Then I select all songs and convert them to 128kbs mp3s with v2.3 ID3 tags. After I have an album with all songs I want from it, I add the folder to the iTunes library but I don't make any changes yet (I don't have the option checked for iTunes to add copies of the songs to the iTunes folder). To further my point, I'll explain how I go about what brings me to the problem. I get rid of everything else, like track/disc number, year, comments, and etc. What I keep: Song title, Artist info, album info and genre. Anytime I add a song to my collection, I am specific about what info I want to keep and what I want to get rid of. I am picky about what info I want for a song. My goal: change ID3 tag info with my song collection in iTunes so that my changes stick permanently. I've seen this question in several places, but I can't find a working answer, so I decided to give it a shot.
