Can not sort by album title in cover flow. I'm going crazy!

I own a LOT of trance music compilations that come in packs of 3 cds. Coverflow only seems to sort by Artist name, and in my music collection each cd from the came compilation might start with a different artist, resulting in the 3 parts of the same album being scattered all over cover flow because of the varying artists.
Is there ANY way possible to make cover flow sort by album title only? PLEASE! I want to use this feature, but its pretty annoying for my type of music collection.

Well I have learned a little bit that helps. I discovered that I can highlight all of say Disc 1 in a compilation, and then right click on the selections and select Get Info. From here, I can flag all the songs as part of a compilation. Then I would do the same for Disc 2, and so on. This resulted in each CD component of an album getting grouped together in Coverflow, though albums that are not compilations ruin the alphabetical flow.
At least now my Disc 1, Disc 2 and Disc 3 of the compilations are next to each other, and not scattered all over, even if there is still no alphabetical order by album.

  • Why can't I view album covers in cover flow?

    When I click on the cover flow view setting, itunes says "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer" but I can see the album covers in iTunes in different views. How do I change this?

  • Album View and Cover Flow View are not available in iTunes 7

    Hi,
    When I connect my iPod, in the iTunes 7, the options for Album view and Cover Flow View are disabled for the song list on my iPod. I only have a list view for them. However, at the same time, the songs on the library can be viewed in any of the three (3) views.
    What might be the possible reason and is there any options to view your iPod songs in Cover Flow View in iTunes (while it is connected)?
    Please solve this query of mine.

    It just simply not a feature. You might think about requesting it here:

  • How can you sort an album that was released in 2007 but has 80s music on

    I have v8 of iTunes, almost completed all my tagging how I want it in iTunes for all my music
    I have a query though, I have a 80s, 90s smart playlist.
    I have recently got an album that was released in 2007, so the year in my library is 2007, however all the music on that album is from the 80s.
    So can you tag with 2 years, ie Album release date and song release (original date) or can you sort the album to show its songs from the 80s.
    Someone must have the same issue, especially from compilation albums
    please help
    cheers

    ahh, was hoping it may have had a "overall" year or album year release date.
    Man that means I gotta tag a lot of my music with the correct year now then, as the compilation albums I got all tagged form web with year released
    Whats the best way to get the year of the songs then please? is there an easy way? Ive got a lot of songs to do now
    cheers

  • I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label.

    I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label. when I click on the filter drop down, color label is not one of the options.  how do I get both ratings and color lables as an option to sort with.

    You can Filter (not sort) on both color label and rating if you want, open the Filter Bar with the backslash key, then click on Attribute, and then select the stars and color label of interest. If you really meant "sort" and not filter, then you can't do this in Lightroom.

  • HT4236 when i try deleting pictures on my ipod touch i can not choose "selected albums" i can only choose all my albums

    when i try deleting pictures on my ipod touch i can not choose "selected albums" i can only choose all my albums

    Yes, that's the way it works with pictures synced from a comptuer to an iOS device.
    If you want to remove specific picstures/albums, do so via iTunes on the computer.

  • I can not see my albums artwork only on my iPad

    I can not see my albums artwork only on my iPad! What should I do?

    Hello JChalups,
    It sounds like your phone has calendars that your iPad no longer shows. First verify that the same calendars that are on your phone are stored in iCloud by checking the calendar at http://www.icloud.com. I would use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article on your iPad. If not, then use it on your iPhone instead:

    10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
    Any help would be appreciated
    BTW
    Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.

  • How can I get column sorting to work again when column sort is stuck on release date in the different views (list, album list, and cover flow) in my PC?

    I can't sort using other columns because the sorting is stuck/ locked on release date. This is only true for my iTunes U Library. My other libraries and playlists for Music, Movies and TV Shows, Books can be sorted.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

  • How do I get my iPad 3rd Gen to sort Music album titles under an artist's name alphabetically instead of chronologically?

    Hey all,
    I've been trying to sort my iPad Music app. Under an Artist, albums are sorted chronologically, not alphabetically. As a result, albums without a year attached to them are shuffled to the top, and the rest are put at the end of my music library. Half of the albums under one artists do not have a year with them so my whole library is out of order. How do I get my albums to sort alphabetically by title?

    The large text size makes your post almost impossible to read.
    Excessive use of bold or capitals (also) makes posts difficult to read.
    You can drag most of the column headings left or right, or right-click on the header to turn columns on or off.
    Once you've used File > Display Duplicates or Shift > File > Display Exact Duplicates you can use File > Display All or the Display All button at the bottom of the list to restore the display.
    For general advice on organising your library see this article on Grouping tracks into albums.

  • Sorting by Album Title _only_

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to iTunes 10.0.0.68. I am trying to arrange my library by album title only; not by artist or album artist. iTunes doesn't seem to like my organization plans, because on some albums it subdivides the album by artist. These albums are generally soundtracks. Some of them are organized the way I want, and others are not.
    Here's what I've tried in vain so far:
    1. Copy-and-paste the same album name to all tracks.
    2. For a couple tracks, I went to "get info," "Sorting" and deleted all the info on this tab except for the album title.
    3. In the main library pane, I right clicked on "Album" and selected "Sort ... Album by Title."
    None of these three things have worked. I googled my problem and all I found were suggestions on how to sort by album artist.
    So, can any of you kind people help me out?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jason

    No, in fact, I deselected "part of a compilation" because I thought it was screwing up my organization scheme. Maybe I acted hastily -- I'll give it a try.
    Thanks!

  • Iphoto 11 not sorting events by titles.

    I'm using Iphoto 11.  I have grouped photos (different souces iphone and 2 digital cameras) by events that are all named with the following template:
    YYYY.MM.JJ - Title of the event
    For some other events that I wanted to always be "on top" of all the others were names differently:
    00 - Title event
    * Title of the event *
    Regardless of the way I name the event it is not sorting correctly.  For instance I have 2 events called:
    00 - Cat
    00 - Dog
    Logically they should be next to each other is sorted by title... Why it is not sorting.  Can anyone help? Thanks

    I used Sort Events > By Title (or By Date)
    But I try to avoid Manually sorting, beacause i read so many posts by other users with issues of sorting being lost and have to to do it again.  therefor thats why I choose a sorting option that shoulds always work with automatic sorting (date or title) evan if someone "accidentaly" switch it to manual.
    *** The only way to have it work and sort again correctly (i just found this) is to add an other photo to the event and then it sort again... What is wrong with my Iphoto??

  • Not all Albums show in Cover Flow

    When I use Coverflow not all my albums appear on my iPod. They do appear in the Albums selection area in music on my iPod though and also appear in Coverflow in iTunes.
    Any ideas?

    Does the problem persist if you reset the iPod? Cover flow order is affected by the fields Sort Artist, Artist, Sort Album, Album with any leading "The" gerneally ignored. Maybe a combination of these values makes the albums you are looking for appear somewhere else in the Cover Flow.

  • Can't Read Long Album Title

    Hello,
    Is there some trick I need to know to read long album titles in itunes on my iphone? I tried rotating the display, double tapping, hitting it against a hard surface, nothing works! Just a bunch of dots! Why would I drop $24.99 on a Genesis album if I can't figure out if I'm buying the Tour Edition or not? Help please? I have the same issue in the ipod player too. Shouldn't be this hard.

    I have the same problem when browsing podcasts. How can I discover the topic before I start downloading?
