How to edit file 'Title' in 'Get Info' (More Info)

Hi, I hope this makes sense!

I have several MP3 Audio files saved to my music file in places. When I use the 'Get Info' function the files have a Title. Is there a way to edit this Title. I can see that the 'name & extension' can be edited but when I import into itunes it is the title that is shown.

Thanks

MacBook Pro 2GHz Intel Core Duo 1GB 667 MHz, Mac OS X (10.4.8), eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

you can't edit Title from finder. you need to do it from itunes or some other music player. VLC can do it for example also. in itunes select a track, enter command+i and click on info in the popup. in VLC also enter command+i and edit the title in the popup.

Thanks for the replies K T & V.K.

I can also drop the file into itunes and click on 'name' to change it. What I really want to do is as follows;

The music files all have the same 'title' but different 'name & extension'

When dropped into itunes this application uses it's title as it's name, therefore all files would have the same name in itunes!

Before putting the file into itunes if I can re-title these files it would save me loads of time.

Thanks again.
