How to Fix Mp3 iTunes Tags

If you're looking for information on how to fix mp3 iTunes tags, you're about to find out in this short article. Lots of people have had problems importing their iTunes tags and can cause duplicates, confusion, and a mess of other problems for you.

The most common reason that this happens is when people import music from CD's or other media sources. iTunes will label and tag things on what it thinks is accurate, and, as you know machines, this isn't always accurate.

So how do you fix the tags and make them accurate?

There are 2 main methods that you can use to fix them.

1. You can manually go through, right-click the songs, and set the tags yourself. This would mean setting the artist, titles, genre, etc. It can be pretty tedious, but the main point here is that you can get it done quickly. If you have tons of songs it can be somewhat of a mission, though.

2. The second method to fix mp3 iTunes tags is to use an application that can do it for you. You basically will go through and set parameters that will automatically set the tags to whatever you chose. The songs will then be updated based on what you inputted.

These are the two main methods to fix mp3 iTunes tags.

More specifically, you right-click the songs:

Then, a menu should come up.

Then click "Get Info."

On this menu you should be able to fix everything and input whatever you want. That's it!

Another key problem that we can deal with is duplicate songs. If you have a set of songs that are already in your iTunes library, you can find that iTunes will make duplicates since it doesn't know that the songs already exist. This is primarily because the tags don't match and iTunes thinks that it's an entire new song.

Using a tag application can help with this too, as it will automatically fix the things for you. However, sometimes you need to be a bit more careful when using something like that, as deleting the wrong songs can leave you without any!

All in all iTunes is a great application, but there are some of the drawbacks like we've mentioned here.

Some reasons why this happens:

iTunes saves songs in a different format than normal. They save it in a very unique way, especially taking into account all the information that is stored in the songs (Such as Artist, Song, Genre, etc.) So as it comes from an MP3 or any other kind of file, it brings it in, edits it, and saves it in its own iTunes method. While this process is taking place a lot of the valid information is lost.
