I digitized from cassette tape, the Bible. I wanted to put them on my
ipod, so I converted the aif files to MP3 and added to the library. I
had originally saved each chapter with titles like gen01. I later
thought it would be a lot better to have the full name as long as it
is displayed in a cool scrolling text, so I tried to change the names
of each track to something like Genesis 01. I went through all 50
chapters of Genesis and each individual chapter of the next 8 books
and changed them.
I deleted the original ones and then added the newly renamed ones to
the library. They all appeared with the old names. I can't figure out
why this is happening. I deleted the itunes library file and the
itunes music library.xml file and tried it again. Still the track
names appeared as the old ones instead of what they are really
named.
I know I can go into get info and change the name but there are a lot
of chapters in the bible, and it takes long enough changing names
outside of itunes.
Is there another way?
AppleScript. But it's only viable if you've already got the names you
want stored someplace that you can associate with the file. (Like the
filenames themselves, but read further.)
What you're running into is that once the names are embedded in the
files (in the ID3 tags) iTunes prefers them over the file names. It
will, in fact, prefer to rename the files to match the embedded track
name.
