what's really cool about this is that this still seems to work exactly the same, even though I am following this video tutorial 3 years later. thank you MacMost!

4 years later and this still helped alot. thanks macmost

This answers a long time issue I have been having in my iTunes music library. Thanks so much for explain this for us.

Cheers, I watched about 3 other shorter videos that were similar to yours, but only yours was in-depth enough to allow me to correct multiple tracks together as an album, rather than a compilation.

I remember doing this about 15 years ago with my ancient iPod putting my MP3s on it. I hated having dozens and dozens of genres so I made everything fit into just a handful. Good to know this applies to Apple Music nowadays. I haven’t hooked an iPhone to a computer in a long time lol. Here we go!

Thanks for an excellent tutorial! This was exactly what I was looking for!

look,Gary I don’t know who you are but you saved my life. I WILL FOREVER PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS ❤❤

Thanks, Gary! I've now got all of the music I want on my MacBook, my iPhone, and my iPad, all with the correct tags. All except one track which is determined to be difficult. It's in the correct album on my iPad and iPhone but thinks it's in its own album on the Mac. All of the tags are the same for all tracks except for the artist, title, and track number, and they're all checked as part of a compilation. I guess I'll have to live with this as it's the only one. Anyway, yet another great video from you!

Imagins if the whole album would be a featuring. Is it posiible have the two artist at diferent artis, but in the album artist and the artis will be the both name? something like: Album: Macmost album Album Artit: Macmost & Clevermedia Artist: Macmost & Clevermedia And then, on the artist view, you can see both artist separated with the same songs and the same album. I mean tht if it's possible tags a few artits in a same song and haven't an artist of called Macmost & Clevermedia. Pd: Sorry about my english dude, i'm form Spain (the "s" is silent :P )

See kzread.info/dash/bejne/paFr1JKpp7Oec9o.html but note that "having to sync the entire library again" isn't an issue. If you have 99 albums on your device, and you re-sync with the same 99 albums and 1 new one, it doesn't copy everything. It just compares the two, figures out all it needs to do is add 1 album for it to be "in sync" and then it is done.

Does anyone else find the UI of the app that doesn’t fit in the Mac styled apps ? I mean those big buttons doesn’t comply with the original system Mac buttons. Do you think we will see a redesign ?

The Music app is brand new for Catalina, but it looks a lot like iTunes. As a media app it is going to look different than the creative apps or business apps.

macmostvideo So you think that those big buttons fit along with the whole Mac design? Don’t you find this app as well Apple TV app over iOS-like ?

@@stergiosbampakis That's subjective, as is all design, really. I don't much care if a design is Mac-like or iOS-like or whatever. I care if it is useful or intuitive or consistent or, in some cases, attractive. You can debate design all day long, but in the end it is using it that matters.

You need to do it through iTunes. That’s the only way. Your phone needs to be connected to iTunes to do that.

ok so one question, how do u do this but out of iTunes... like straight thru the music file??

@@nero-one Not sure what you mean. This is about changing the song info in your Music App Library (iTunes is long gone). You need to use the Music app to change what you see in the Music app. Not sure why you would want to change what you see in the Music app without using the Music app.

Anyone know how to fix this issue? Lets say I have 5 Beatles songs - Ex. Abby Road, Come Together, Rubber Soul, Help and Hey Jude. When I import them from MP3 files from a digital album I downloaded I have to manually fix the artist and song name on iTunes, no big deal. The REAL issue is that when I upload album artwork for one of the songs, all or most of the songs with the same artist name keep that same artwork. Manually changing doesn't fix it, as it reverts back in less than 10 seconds. Manually adding artwork then sliding over and deleting old artwork yields the same 10 second fix. Manually deleting artwork for the song does work, but when you add the correct artwork it will STILL default to artwork that is on a completely different song. Is there any fix to this at all? It's so annoying having 20 Rolling Stones songs or 30 AD/DC songs that ALL have the exact same picture. Note - Yes iTunes is updated, yes iPhone is linked over WiFi but Ive shut it down to test this, so it has to do with iTunes on the PC, and yes, I have browsed all of the forums and found people having similar issues but naturally there is no listed solution.

Are you setting the Album name with each of these songs? I think the artwork would come from that.

Why for some Artists there is no picture? In your case there is Juliana Hatfield without picture in your Artists list. I have the same situation on my iPhone, where one famous musical group doesn't have picture. And what's interesting: this group has picture on my iPad, but it's missing picture on iPhone in "Music" app. As far as I understand, users can't add their own images for Artists. So it doesn't look very good.

Very hard to say why. Could just need time to load it. Or, it could be that it hasn't matched to anything in Apple's list of album artwork.

Hey Gary , do you know how i can delete songs from my ipod ? I am using Apple music and iMazing but neither will allow me to delete individual songs from my ipod. I havent done it in awhile and i really miss Itunes.

If you are syncing your iPod with your Mac, you would use the Music app to control that as you did iTunes before.

@@Sjrick I can't tell what you have going on, but back in the days before Apple Music you would Sync your iPod to your Mac. So you didn't add or remove songs, you simply selected what you want to sync, and then re-sync. So if you say chose 10 playlists to sync, or 15 albums, or whatever, you would instead choose 9 playlists or 14 albums and then re-sync. See support.apple.com/en-ae/guide/mac-help/mchlbf6a1fab/mac

In order for me to add any music, i have to wipe out everything already on the ipod. And i dont want to do that obviously. So currently i am looking for alternatives to apple music. iMazing hasnt been very good either. So i am still looking. You are the ONLY Mac expert i know of on KZread that actually answers people. So i thought i would give it a shot. Its ok if you cant, I just thought i would ask.

Copy and paste artist and album to be sure, then check compilation and other fields too.

Have to say Apple Music sucks for finding the correct artwork when ripping CDs via Apple SuperDrive and sometimes doesn’t even come up with any. Really gone downhill big time since the days of the iPod. Gets the genres wrong frequently too.

the fact that I have to find a video to learn how to edit the metadata on an mp3 on my iphone is reason number 14343554646 that android is better than ios
