Awesome! Took me ages to find this gem of information. I can’t belive that even in version 9.x Apple still hasnt figured out that people actually edit tags in other software.

Thanks! I was doing similar things to get that fixed. And YES, it doesn’t exist one single site that has this simple and great idea. BUT, it just didn’t work with me, and i cannot figure out why. See, i use the “comment” id3v2 field for determining the music that will be in my iPod. (I mean, if comment=ipod then it will be in the iPod.) BUT the files didn’t refresh. I removed all of them from the library, i copied all the folders into iTunes… i tried everything… i will keep trying this solution. Thanks again! (:

Simple. It works. Love the solution. Like most of the folks above, I was reading all kinds of disgusting hacks to do this.

Amazing! Believe it or not, this simple solution is no where else on the web, apple forums, or fanboy sites. You should see the incredibly convoluted suggested solutions out there. I was about to basically dump iTunes because it didn’t seem to have any viable way to do something so seemingly simple (and should either be automatic, or have a button on the GUI).

Good Work!

This was brilliant! I am embedding jpeg into my MP3s using MP3Tag, and after doing the above trick Itunes started showing the album covers I had recently embedded. Rock!

Brilliant. This is the only site I’ve found that actually answers this question. Thanks a million. This was on a PC too, for interest.
