iTunes won't let me edit artist information.

iTunes won't let me edit artist information.

Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't.

What I'm talking about is... I have a lot of music without artist names, so when I click the blank space to edit the artist information... it does nothing.

But that's only on SOME. The others will let me.

I'm just wondering why some files won't let me, or if there was another way to edit the file information (Artist, Title, Album, etc...)

Thanks,

The best way to edit information on a track is to right click on a track and select "Get Info".

If the inforamtion is greyed out and you can't edit it in Get Info, it may mean your song file is read only.

Oh, yeah, it's all greyed. 😟

Why is it read-only? Can that be changed?

Right click on a problem track and then select show in windows explorer. Now you should be able to see the song file, right click on it and select properties. If the track is read only, read only will be checked in attributes. If it isn't, maybe you have a problem with folder permissions so that you don't have write access to the file.
