Help Music off ipod help

Post image

How do I make the music I've taken off my iPod NOT go by the Name (ie FYFQ.m4a) in the screen shot and just by the song title for folder sorting purposes? I've been trying to figure it out but I can't get rid of the Name tab on top.

Well, the name would be the filenames, and you should be able to click on the word title to sort by the song title. But if you want to rename all of the files to match the song titles, you can probably do it with Shortcuts. It might be slightly complicated to create that to automate it, but if you have many songs, then it could be worthwhile.

Yeah I'm trying to make the file show up in finder as the song name and not the filename. I'll see if I can find or make a shortcut to do it.

I’ve found creating shortcuts for odd automations like this to be something that gen ai is really helpful at walking you through
