no name of songs

I'll bite...

why do some of my songs on my ipod and itunes library come up as a track#

...because they don't have a name.



Care to give us more information? Like how or where you obtained these songs. Maybe provide a screenshot of your problem.

The more you give "us", the more we can give you.
 
ok sorry...i have had these songs for a while....i lost them because ire installed my puter...but i was able to get them back from itunes.... but for some strange reason some of the songs went to a track instead of names..
i went to itunes for help and they said to.... select a song.( hold down shift key).. choose advanced> get cd track name.... i actually got maybe out of maybe 30 5 names but i cant get the rest of the songs...and most of these are songs i downloaded or i bought...its all legal songs if thats what your asking..... thanks for your help.. cleo
 
No, I'm not worried about them being legal and all, just what your history with them was.

So, at one time, all the songs had names?
And if so, you are saying something happened and wiped out all the names?
And if I have that much right, you were able to "get cd track name" for 5 of them?
But you still have 25 songs with no name?

Question: are these 25 songs from sources other than iTunes specifically (whether CD or internet)?
 
there form a cd that i have or someone gave me.. i guess i could re do them from the cd but i was hoping not to have to?...but i really did want to know why it happened?.. thanks for all your help....
 
store bought CD or friend burned CD? and did these songs that don't have names now EVER have names?
 
store bought cds.......yes they did have names... there just reg cds that you buy at any store....
 
and the "Get CD Track Names" did not pull these names down?

I would re-import these exact same CD's and hope that works.
Option two for me would be to use a program called ieatbrainz, does a decent job. A better job if your music is more mainstream.
Last resort would be to enter each field manually.

Do you ever back up your data? If not, this would be a great example of why it's a good idea.
 
Are the track names with normal Latin character set?
I once saw something like that happen - all the track names were gone when anything was pulled to the iPod, because the tracks in questions had the track information in Hebrew. iTunes showed if fine, but since iPod didn't ... it was all fine in iTunes, and everything was Artist 1 - Track 1 in iPod.
