Apr 5, 2014 3:04 PM in response to William Novahby Barney-15E,Submit Feedback to Apple. It appears it only displays the song title from the metadata. I haven't seen anyone post a workaround.

Apple also needs to modify finder so it shows "all metadata" and not just a couple...
Control click the file icon and choose "Get Info".

... the filename for my songs are all "artist name - song name"
Are you sure? This sounds completely non-standard (for songs housed in iTunes).

Apr 5, 2014 3:23 PM in response to William Novahby William Novah,Here is a screen shot for a better understaning of my issuse. I did a seach for music containing "pop" The search modified the view of the actual filename and took out the artistname. The filename hasen't actually changed, just how I view it. It's missing the artist name. The info box to the left shows the actual file name... Changing the advanced setting did nothing. This is happening on my Mavricks Imac. If I do this on my macbook pro I get the full filename.... Might have to scrap mavricks and revert back to mt lion...

Apr 5, 2014 3:27 PM in response to sbermanby mr.slowhand,hello,
the fully name of a mp3 file also isnt shown in finder for example:
searching:
queen - we are the champions
just show:
we are the champions
if i search for:
we are the champions
it shows:
we are the champions
but not the full file name and in some cases a title is the same of different artists... you can gues wich one is the right one o:O
before mavericks everything was working right.
any suggestions -
Apr 5, 2014 3:29 PM in response to William Novahby Barney-15E,★HelpfulI understood you the first time. The ability to change it back is not available. It only displays the title from the metadata.

May 13, 2014 10:13 AM in response to William Novahby BigMackAttack,This is very fustrating. But on my macbook it only effects two folders, and these were the folders I was actively working on. So it has to be a program issue. Maybe has to deal with Itunes.

Jun 7, 2014 10:54 AM in response to Mcjack44by Barney-15E,I just noticed that it will show the actual file name in the Path bar, if you have that showing and select the file.

Jun 7, 2014 11:06 AM in response to Barney-15Eby Mcjack44,Yes i know but it always worked ok.
And if do a search for my iMac on a NAS database, it shows the complete file name.
If your searching for example something from The Beatles, i will have 100+ files and than
only song names and all my songs are taged with years etc.
Hopefully they will find a solution

There isn't a "solution," as there isn't a flaw. This is how they coded it. If you don't like it, send feedback to Apple:
