Hi guy's,

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with Itunes but it's driving me nuts

Ok, i have hundreds of songs on there and for some reason i can only play the last 3 songs that i downloaded?

I think the main reason is that i downloaded Itunes again on my PC and may have overwritten my previous files if that can happen.

My songs are still showing but i simply cannot play them and also the images of the albums and songs have gone.

I am using Windows 7 and if anyone can be of any help then i'll be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I mean.. what's it do when you click on the song to play it? Does it not even recognize that the song is there?

Do you have the most recent version? Also, where did you get your songs.. are they from the iTunes store or from sharing sites. (Frostwire/Limewire/etc.)

Yes it's the newest version and most of the songs are from Itunes and there are some i have loaded from CD's.

Try changing the id3tags on one of the songs and see if it will play.

Right click on a song --> "Convert ID3 Tags" ---> check mark "ID3 tag version:" and select v1.0.

See if that works. (Try all 4 versions actually)

Let me know if that works bud.

Edit: Well, that's how it is on a Mac.. maybe on W7 you have to go to Properties or something after you right click.. not sure how iTunes looks on W7

It doesn't give me the option to convert tags?

Hmm... Wish I could look at your iTunes.. idk how the Windows version looks! You have Skype? We could screen share if you want.

If i go into the Itunes folders and click on each of the songs then it automatically loads them to Itunes

One thing i can't get though is all my downloads from Itunes as when i open that folder there is nothing there???? How can i get them back?? They must be in Itunes somewhere???
