Jonathan Mosen did one but it was for I Tunes 11 and while a few things may still apply a lot of it is also outdated by now. If you want to check it out it was a two-part series as part of the FS Casts from Freedom Scientific. Basically, if you want to edit using iTunes once you are on the song you want to do press Control+I, then tab until you get to the edit field for song name, artist, album etc. Just keep in mind that they don’t read that well right now, at first it may appear the field is empty, but if you press the home key to go to the start of the line and then do a say line with Jaws it will read what is there and you can delete it and type something else or edit it, when you are done tab to OK and activate.

Rather than asking you for more instructions, I would only ask if you know a good iTunes tutorial aimed particularly at people using screen readers. The reason is, I have no idea how to edit tags in iTunes, or delete anything from the stuff I imported. Some folders got imported that I want to get removed, and I don’t see any way of doing that either right now. So any good tutorial would probably cover that kind of thing, and other stuff that I would probably find useful. Thanks for any info.

Make sure you check it and then these kinds of albums show up as compellation albums in the artist column if you use the column browser, but if you select the artist of a particular song and you have, for example, also another album by that artist you still see all songs by that artist. I don’t know how much music you have, but even though it may take a lot of time to fix all of this it is in the end worth it.

I didn’t intend it, but I accidentally imported my entire music collection into iTunes. On the one hand, it is convenient in that, to transfer music to my iPad Mini, I just go through the list of albums and check off the items I want to transfer. Unfortunately, in the process of going through that long list, I’ve discovered that some of the albums are tagged incorrectly. And, as a consequence, the library is a mess. For example, for a Various Artists collection, if there’s nothing in the Album Artist tag, then iTunes lists the album under each individual artist that’s on the album. Which means that I can’t transfer the entire album, as an album, to my iPad as I would like to be able to do, but rather have to transfer each track separately, which I don’t want to do. So, if I retag these improperly tagged albums correctly, do I just add them to the iTunes library manually? Since they’re already imported, will it remove the other files, or do I have to do that manually? If I have to remove the wrongly tagged stuff manually, I don’t see any way of doing that at the moment, so I’d be grateful for any help with that. Thanks for any advice on this. Whatever the case, it looks like I’m in for quite a bit of work as it appears that a good many of these need fixing.
