Mixed in key…?

After just watching Ean’s tutorial…getting rather miffed at how easy he makes it (which i thought was going to be an easy process anyways), after analysing and in preferences checking that i want it to add the key before the artists name…nothing

I restart iTunes in the hope something has changed, again…nothing.

Is there a step im missing for Mixed in key to change the info in the artist column?

If been sorting music for nearly 6 hours, i may be going insane, so please forgive me if i’ve simply missed the huge button saying "press this to make it work’

p.s read the tutorial in Mixed in key…said nothing

When you play a song in itunes it will update the track.

There’s no way to bulk update stuff? 1307 tracks to listen too :eek::disappointed:

4

Click get info in iTunes and then hit next 1306 times :slight_smile:

5

Select a batch and get info on all of them. You may have to put a space in one of the fields.

Ive nailed nearly half by using the skip button.

Seriously tho, id be bald without this site :slight_smile:

This is one way of doing it. Just highlight a ton of them and get info on all of them. It will then update.

For MIK I usually just put in the key and comment field. I then highlight the entire batch in MIK and then drag it over to Itunes like I was importing a song and it updates them all that way also.

delete your tracks in itunes but not from the itunes library. Than just drag em all in again.

I would love to learn how to do this by ear. i have searched all over for a tutorial on how to do this and I’ve found bits and pieces but nothing that’s got a real complete answer. Anyone who knows would like to make one that would be awesome. I’m sure we could get the MODs to sticky it. I would also love you forever.

you want to get iTunes to update its track info… by ear?

that’s some bionic shit right there.

11

Would make my life easier tho :wink:

To be fair it’s entirely possible. Stick your ear on the trackpad and wiggle your head around until itunes has updated everything.

Would work fine according to the infinite monkey theorem.

for some reason the method others have mentioned of selecting multiple tracks and clicking “get info” has never worked for me in the past. If i need to, Im content with selecting and playing the first track in the playlist and holding the right arrow on the keyboard to skip through all the tracks lol works fine.
