How to modify song names on itunes 11?

right click > informations > enter everything you want

all you have to do is right click on the song>get info> and you'll be able to cahnge the name, the artist, and the album

Is there an exclamation point next to the song title? If so iTunes has lost track of where the song is. You need to delete the title from iTunes. Don't let it move the song to the recycle bin, just remove it from iTunes.

Search for the song so that iTunes can add it back to your library.

If this is happening to all your songs you might re-download and reinstall iTunes. Right clicking on the song title and clicking on Get Info (Like mattOmattic says) should bring up the information box for the song where you can edit all the fields on the song title line and set it up how you want.

I have read numerous posts on this that all seem to fail. So I was determined to fix it myself. Here's what you do:

1- right click on the folder containing all of your music

2- go to properties

3- click the security tab in the properties window

4- Scroll down and highlight the user or user group you want to allow permision

5- in the bottom box check "Full Control"

6- click Apply

You're done. Now you're entire music library will be modifiable. Names , genre etc.

Thank You gtreent! After much poking around, this method finally worked.

Help! I tried that, I already have full access and I still can't edit song names 😟 any other advice?

Right click on the master folder (the folder which contains all your music) and select properties. Under general - attributes, unclick read only and apply.

thank you soooo much....i was trying for days an this finally worked for me

Ok...weeks later...just wanted to give you a HUGE THANK YOU!!! I consider myself a guru on computers...and FOR YEARS...I never could figure out that simple thing! lol But...YOU FINALLY FIXED IT FOR ME!!! Only a few albums do that...BUT NO LONGER!!!

So thank you sheds141

Wow, your solution actually worked for me. Thank you so much!

I have copied original music from a CD, and it always shows up as "track 01, track 02", etc. I just tried right clicking on the "track 01", go to "get info", and I was able to type in the name of the song and the artist. When I synced to my iPhone, it worked! The new name is in my song list and the artist is listed, too. Hope this helps.

Here is the way I did it without changing the properties on all my music:

Right-click on individual song > choose Get Info

In the Get Info window > choose the Info Tab. This will show you the name, artist, etc

Type in the information you want.

An easy way to get to the Info is also just to enter CMD-i (on a Mac or CNTL-i on a PC) on a song

Thanks for your reply. This works perfectly!!

In case anyone is wondering how to do this in Mavericks. In Itunes click on the song to highlight it (rightclick doesn't work).Then go to File at the top-left of the screen, click on Get Info and in the popup window chose the info tab. There you can edit the song title or anything else you want.
