How to Change the Name of a Song on iTunes

When you import songs to iTunes from a CD, iTunes downloads information about each song from the Gracenote service. Sometimes the name of the song is incorrect. Other times, you may want to change the song name to something personally meaningful such as "Our wedding song" or "Joey's favorite."

This can be done very easily.

Things You'll Need

• Personal computer with iTunes installed

Instructions

Changing the Name of a Song on iTunes

1. Click on the song name to highlight it. From the iTunes main menu select "File>Get Info." A pop-up window will appear showing all the information that iTunes has about the song.

2. Click on the "Info" tab. Change the text in the Name field to whatever you want. You cannot leave the Name field blank or iTunes will not let you dismiss the pop-up window.

3. Click the "OK" button.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also access and edit song information by highlighting the song and bringing up the context-sensitive menu (PC: Right-click, Mac: Ctrl-Click). Select "Get Info" from the context-sensitive menu.

• Another way to edit the name of a song in iTunes is to click on the song title once, wait a second and then click on it again. The song name will become editable. Be sure to pause between clicks so that you don't double-click unintentionally.
