Edit Track Details

Hi,

What you want to do is edit the details of your tracks.
To do this you need to open the get info dialogue box, which can be done in three ways.
1. Highlight the track as if you are going to play it, and press CMD + I.
2. Highlight the track as if you are going to play it, navigate to the file menu, and choose get info from the list.
3. Highlight the track as if you are going to play it, and do a virtual right click using VO Keys + Shift + M.

The first option is the easiest, but it is whatever you are comfortable with.
Once the dialogue box is open, you can navigate through the tabs using CMD + Tab and change the desired information.

Tracks can be selected in batches to change album title, album artist and genre.
However, song titles must be changed individually.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Niall

Thanks. I've been wondering the same thing. I just went back into iTunes and attempted to name a track. Here's my issue though. I have several CD's that are compilations of songs, but whenever I try to add the track info and such they still end up as separate tracks within iTunes. Is there a way to make all these tracks be an album or albums? The track I just edited is off of a Christmas compilation from my brother.
