How to import a album with multiple artists in the one album?

How do I import a album with multiple artists as the one album. Everytime I try to do this it does not collate it into one album, the other artists come up seperatley, also if this is possible can you set so that it works automatically everytime?
Hope someone can help.
Cheers,
Fuzzi G.

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Listing tracks from an album with multiple artists as part of one single album

When listing my music by album on my iphone 4, tracks from the same album with multiple artists appear as separate albums. How can I get the iphone to list these as part of one single album? For example, "Rock of Oldies" is a compilation with 50's music, but on my iphone it appears as a long list of distinct albums: Rock of Olides - Elvis Presley, Rock of Oldies - Beach Boys, and so on. I tried bulk-selecting these and flagging them as "part of a compilation" on itunes, but it doesn't seem to help on my iphone...

I just tried, but they still remain listed as separate albums on my iphone when i view by album...

Importing an album with multiple artists

When I import an album with multiple artists (ie Absolute Music x) all the songs are given a seperate album symbol. How do I get them all to be listed under the same album name in Cover Flow view?
PS I mostly have this problem with downloaded albums....

How can I get a Album with multiple artists to appear as a single album with all of the tracks?

How can I get a Album that contains multiple artists to appear as a single album with multiple tracks? Also when I sync iTunes with my iPhone or iPad the Album appears as multiple albums with each artist. The Album title is the same on each of the affected tracks.

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist" or check the "compilation" flag.
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

Sorting songs on an album with multiple artists

Im trying to sort an album with multiple artists so that in the artist view the song appears under that artist like this:
The song Young and Beautiful is from The Great Gatsby soundtrack but as its by Lana Del Rey and im in the Artist view I want it here with the rest of Lana Del Rey as opposed to Various Artists. I moved it here by clearing the "album artist" section in the info tab for the song.
However when I do this and change to Album view, the song doesnt get sorted with the rest of the Great Gatsby soundtrack, istead it is like this:
How can I have the songs from an album with various artists sorted by Artist in the artist tab and then properly sorted by Album in the Album tab. Ive been playing around with it for a while and I cant work it out.
Can anyone help me out?

have you tried to mark the album as a "Compilation" album? Then the songs should sta togeeether in the "Album" view.
Have you seen iTunes: Grouping Tracks Into Albums ?

Albums with different artists appear separately in Album view.

Hi,
As can be seen in the screen shot below, Album view displays songs separately if they are from different artists but from the same album.
this is also a problem in iPhone 3G album view. I see multiple copies of album name each with different set of songs. As, a result I can't choose an entire album and am forced to make playlists for albums.
please help me fix this…

HI AceNeerav,
I know this is a bit late... But maybe it will help someone else in the future!
I resolved this annoying problem on albums that were split out by "one album per song", even if they came from the same album (and they were purchased through the iTunes Store, BTW!).
Turns out all my albums with this problem where COMPILATIONS, and for some reason, the artist has to be unique for iTunes to see it as being part of the same album.
So here are the steps I took to resolve this:
In iTunes, select all the songs from the same album (which do not appear as being from the same album);
Right-click and select View Info (or CMD+i);
In the Album Artist field (not the Artist field), type a keyword. In my case, I chose "Various Artists".
Press OK.
Presto! Everything was sorted out!
Hope this helps anyone with the same frustration!

When copying (importing) a CD with multiple artists to itunes, how can I get all of the tracks to be on one album?

Albums with multiple artists do not show up as one album in my library. How can I make them do this WITHOUT having to put all such albums in a playlist so they actually play properly?

Basically, I just got the Matrix Reloaded album off a friend of mine.
The album itself is comprised of multiple contributing artists.
Now, in any other media player, it would happily declare the album to be the product of Various Artists and leave it at that.
iTunes, on the other hand, seems to think I need one album titled "Matrix Reloaded" for every single artist who contributed, which not only looks hideous (I have enough trouble navigating the "Albums" page as is since it's not in any kind of alphabetical order) but also makes it a pain if I just want to put the album on to play and do something else.
The same thing occurs with another album, one of the Red vs Blue soundtracks by Jeff Williams; two of the songs in it are from "Jeff Williams & Steve Goldshein" which iTunes seems to think merits a whole seperate album which is entirely redundant.
At the moment I'm getting by through somewhat-length creation of playlists so I can actually listen to albums with the tracks where they're meant to be, but this should not even be necessary in the first place.
All my music currently is from when I made the jump from WMP after buying an iPod Touch, none of it was actually bought through iTunes.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things. For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab.

Album with multiple artists shows as multiple albums in iTunes

I have several albums where there are guest artists on different tracks within the album. iTunes has broken the album up into multiples with the same name and cover art, just different artists (i.e. "2Pac & Nate Dogg" vs. "2Pac & Danny Boy") This wouldn't be that bad except that if I want to play songs by album, i can't because the album has been broken up into multiples. This was not a problem until I updated to the newest version of iTunes and iPod Touch software. Does anyone have a fix for this?

How to find photos tagged with "5 Star" in the current album

I have just migrated a large library from Aperture, I can see and use the star tags "5 Star", "4 Star", "3 Star", etc. However, I do not seem to be able to search for photos with these tags localised to the current album that I am viewing.
For example, I have an album iPhoto Events > 2015-04 where I have imported photos from this month. I have tagged all the photos as I normally do in Aperture including "5 Star" tag. Now I want to see all the photos with "5 Star" and share them onto iCloud Photo Sharing. If I type "5 Star" in the search box, it shows me all the thousands of photos with this tag!

I guess that since the search function is not as powerful as Aperture's this will have to do until they add back all the functions from the old programs. I will try to do a last 30 days + 5 Star album for the time being. Thank you for your suggestion

How to import csv file with multiple tables into sql server

I have multiple csv files that has one sheet but has 130 headers with each header having different data.
I'd like to import each one of these header rows with data into its own file in sql server.
I know very basic SSIS and am but am not familiar with the scripting in it though which what I assume I'd have to use.
Each header in the csv file is structured as such(also see example pic):
first header would be this:
ITEM = ORG_V
DATE = 2013-07-22 10:00 ~ 2013-07-22 10:15
column names
data
second header would be this:
ITEM = TER_V
DATE = 2013-07-22 10:00 ~ 2013-07-22 10:15
column names
data
The headers can be at any random row number as well as the data size in each excel file differs but they all start with "ITEM ="
and then in the next row "DATE ="
I could also convert these to excel files if it makes this process easier.

Why don't you put a filter on D3, filter out the blanks, copy/paste to a new CSV file, save it, and import it.
There's no way you're going to get SQL to do that kind of thing for you. The language is for set based operations, not for complex data manipulation tasks.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Refresh or Reload Issue with Multiple Blcoks in the One View

Hi All
We have one view which consists of multiple blocks say multiple UI container elements.
Each container contains different UI elements and business logics.
For example: Having Container 1 and Container 2. If we are doing any action in Container2, container 1 also getting refreshed. We donu2019t want container 1 to be refreshed or reload.
To achieve above requirement what are the UI Element to be used or other way in CE7.2?
Thanks in Advance , your help will be highly appreciated.

there's no problem using numbers in package names though there are some problems with object names in flash that start with a number.
there would be a problem in all package names before flash 9 because there were no package names. the class name reflected the path to the class.

When an album has multiple artist how can you make them show up on an iPod Touch 4G? I can find an artist using the search function but they don't show up in the artist view on my iPod. iTunes shows them OK when you sort by artist.

Tech support seemed to understand the question but had no answer. Why would an album with only one artist show the artist but an album with multiple artist not show any of them. The album art show various in iTunes. That makes sense but on my iPod I would expect to see all artists.

Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

How do I sort so that all the songs for a particular album show up under only one album? Example: Eminem 'Encore' has multiple artists on the entire track list.

Example: Eminem 'Encore' has multiple artists on the entire track list. Several songs will just list Eminem as the artist, but a lot will have Eminem, FEATURING...so and so. Each song that has "FEATURING" shows up as a different album, so if you are not paying attention, and pull all the songs from a particular album over to your ipod, for example, and you don't see that not all the songs are there, you won't get them all to transfer.
Is there anyway to correct this?

Each tune gets a file name - that is how iTunes works. iTunes is a data base manager.
In a PlayList a reference is created that will link to a specific tune.
You can take the tunes that you do not want listed under a particular album name and change the album name using 'Get Info' for that tune(s) from the iTunes window.
