Stupid itune problem

I'm having this issue with my itune where it will not let me change the album picture or any other info abou that song. I try deleting the song and import it in again but it still wouldn't work. What am i doing wrong?

You're not using the correct menu option, that's what.

Right-click the song and select Get Info at the top of the menu. Voila, you can now edit the song's metadata. To change the album art, select the Artwork tab.

If you wish to edit many songs at once, just select all of the songs in your iTunes list, rlght-click, and select Get Info. You shouldn't edit song-specific information (like song titles) in this mode, but rather just use it to add information like how many discs are in the album, or to add album art to a group of songs.

I been doing that, its not working. It works for most of the songs but about 2-3 it doesn't.

^^ beat me to it

i doubt thats the case, as he said he's "trying" to edit it so i'll take a guess that he knows what he's doing.

Yea, i had a problem like that too. The metadata was unaccessible.

The songs in question may be corrupt in some way, then. If you can, re-rip or re-download them.

But it plays, I can still listen to it but just not able to change picture

Whether or not it plays doesn't mean there isn't corruption on the part of its metadata.

Have you tried editing its information in another player, like Winamp?

Well, I used this thing this morning call "Magic MP3 Tagger." It was suppose to fill in all the information or something.

Make sure the mp3 isn't read-only

Vale46, may have the answer. I've run into snags ripping CDs (I just imported 27 CDs with Podcast sound...), and the metadata was being finicky.

I've suffered from the black album art problem. And I've got one right now I can't seem to change metadata.

See if it's "read-only."
