ITunes libaray sorting ablums... skips the "The" in albums titles...

Why in the latest version of iTunes 7 does it not sort the album titles with the word "The"??
Is there anyway to turn this back on other than changing the setting "Sort By" field and adding the "The" back in?
Ta!

I think iTunes is hard wired to set up sorting to avoid "the", so what you suggest is the only way of getting round it.

HT1473 How do I get iTunes to download an entire album in one file versus splitting it into multiple files with the same Album Title?

I have added several CDs to my iTunes files, several Albums were added in the form of multiple files of the same Album title with random songs listed, but not the entire album in one file.
I have tried to reassemble the Album into one file, but could not find a way to do so.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

After playing the song I selected in iTunes 11 it jumps to the another album rather than playing the next song on the original album I selected. ***? How do I fix this?!?!?

I found that clearing the "Up Next" list fixes the problem. But I have to clear that list everytime I just want to hear just that one album. Each time I select on song on the album, the "Up Next" list builds it's own list rather than just play through the album. I think this has something to do with the issue. How can I fix this?!?!

My itunes match has several songs under the wrong album title

My iTunes match on my laptop has several songs under the wrong album title. Is there anyway to correct this?

Hey rehartline,
Are you using any 3rd party applications to name or organize files in your iTunes library?
Try re-creating your iTunes Library, then sync the iPod again.

ITune has created several folders for the same album title. How do I consolidate those folders into 1?

iTune has created several folders for the same album title. How do I consolidate those folders into 1 without consolidating all albums?

I don't think you want to combine all of the HTML into one file. That doesn't make too much senese. If you wanted to, then just copy everything from all 3 files between <body></body> and paste into one html file between <body></body>. I think what you're trying to do is create seperate static pages. I would read/youtube how to setup a blogger website.

I have a major problem regarding Itunes mismatching sort-artists to the actual artist and reverting edits i make

this has been ongoing for about one and a half years, it started when one day i signed in and discovered that nearly everly. single. song was mismatched all over the place, it took me a while to understand why because i'm not tech savvy, but discovered that the sorting on each song had changed (for example, a piece by Beethoven would have the artist as Beethoven, but the Sort Artist under David Bowie etc...) I spent a year redoing everything, going through every single artist manually and changing it, hoping that would be the end of it. But now it's happening again, I do a thing where I change the Sort Artist and the Viewed Artist of an album to a certain classical composer so that it's all under his name in one place, however every week or so when i sign into itunes, it's all reverted back to the original artist name (IN NAME ONLY) by that i mean when i click on the piece of music, it immediately resets and jumps back down to where it should be (Händel for example) this is extremely frustrating as each time i sync my ipod it gets the mismatched artist info again, how in ** name do i stop this?
for clarification: with the pieces on which i click to revert back to normal, when i check their info, they have not only the correct artist, but also the correct sorting artist in place which i have put there, so it makes no sense why they would revert

Are making the changes in iTunes or using an external app? Do you use "update iTunes Match"?

Sorting songs in the same album!

so i keep having this same problem. I'll pre-order an album, and it downloads the single, then, when i get the rest of the album, despite all the info being the same, it doesn't play the tracks in the right order. It's as if iTunes sorts by Artist, then Date Added, not Artist, Album, Track #...
anyone else having this problem? it's driving me nuts!!

There is a way around that, when you go to iTunes click Command+J and the view options comes out. Check "Track Number" and the track number will show as a column. And you can rearrange the songs by tracks like that. Good luck. If this answers your question please give me credits, thanks.

TS3297 Are you kidding me? I'm trying to download "one song" from iTunes and have to do the whole album or send it to myself as a "gift." Don't understand and really don't like this new interface. Actually I hate it!!!! I just want one song from various a

This whole thing is very confusing and I'm not happy about having to input my password
FIVE count them . . . Five times.
I want to revert back to the last ITunes i had. How do I do that? I'm not happy with
the new interface. It's too confusing. Not sure how to make songs "shuffle" etc. . .
but that is the least of my problems.
What's going on with you guys?
Let's keep things simple please.

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Itunes didn't re-download the whole album?

I recently went to Check Download Files to put my albums back on my Ipod that I purchased a long time ago.
All of them worked, except for one, which was the album - "The Simpsons: Testify".
It is supposed to have around 30 tracks on it, but Itunes gave me only 19. when I downloaded the whole album (it even says that on my Download Authorization list).
But when I click on "Check for Available Downloads" it says "All purchases have been downloaded for this account, You can burn a CD, DVD or use Shared Folders on your local network to transfer files into another computer"
***?

delete the songs you have just purchased from itunes. Then, go to the store and in quick links click on "Purchased". Then find on the top right "Songs not on this computer" (or something similar) and you will find them for download. It's best to download them one at a time and wait for one to complete before moving on to the next one.

Sorting Songs From the Same Album but Different Artists

I have the Warped Tour 2014 Compilation CD. I want all of the songs on this album to be grouped into the same album. I know I could do this by giving them the same album artist, but here's my problem: When I do that, it separates songs by an artist from other songs by the same artist. One of the artists on the album is Less Than Jake. I have other music by Less Than Jake, and I want this song to be grouped with their other songs, which doesn't work if I change the album artist. I want the song to stay in the compilation album but also grouped with other songs by the same artist. How can I do this?

Stick with using the correct Album Artist for the album.
Visit the Songs > Column Browser view and untick View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists. This should allow all of the Less Than Jake songs to be listed under the artist.
See Grouping tracks into albums for more.

How can I sort content into a-z of album titles

Hi Everyone
Hope someone out there can help. I run two libraries on one pc at home, in library one I have the album icon view and I click on "Album" at the top and my albums are organised a to z by album title. However in library two, I cannot get itunes to do this, I have the same album icon view i click on "Album" on the top bar and it organises my albums a-z by artists name. I cannot see what I am doing wrong in library two. Any advise will be most welcome.
regards
Anniemaca

You're welcome, and you too.

Can't listen to an entire song in Itunes. Randomly just skips the song in different places while it's playing. Song file is not corrupted - even doing it on a new song I just bought from Itunes today. Help :(

I just bought a new laptop and transferred over all of the songs. But I checked the ones that skip in Itunes in another music player and they work fine there - the files are not corrupted - and like I said, even a brand new song I just bought skips. The priority for Itunes is set to High. This comptuer has very high specs (it's a Lenovo IdeaPad) and the processing performance never even goes above 10%. I am a Disc Jockey and this is a severe problem. Please help...
If downgrading to a previous version of Itunes is the answer, how do I go about doing that? I'm currently running 10.5

How do I print a list of albums with all Genres? Skips the classical albums. ?

How do I print a list of all albums and all genres? Itunes skipped Classical albums.

Well, this is not only a way to print a list with all genres but also a list with all type of genre used in your iTunes library.
I found a crazy way, but it works. Export a list of all you music sorted by genre (with genre included as one of the columns) and save all as a text file > File > Library > Export List > Tipe: text file
Open Excel - drag drop text file into excel. [FROM HERE YOU CAN PRINT ALL YOUR MUSIC LIST] - click once in the upper left square before column A and over line 1 and now click twice a little bit before the end of column A (the pointer changes like a cross) to adjust all cell width.
NOW TO MAKE A GENRE LIST
Find the genre column > select the column
copy it and in a new sheet paste only this column in A1 ... Annn cells.
Now select the first cell (A1) and go to Data > Remove Duplicated > (if you wish select "my data has a header")
click OK
Now what stays in the column is only one name for each genre.
That's it (sorry my english, but I'm brazilian)

This is a question about the iTunes Store. I have the correct artist, title, composer, and album name for a song popular in the 1970's. The store's Advanced Search feature can't find any of the information. How can I get Search to find the song I seek?

What can I try if the store's Advanced Search strikes out trying to find the song I want?

Perhaps the song is not available in MP3 format, or isn't available in the iTunes Store, or simply not available in your country. (A Norwegian band's first album from the 1980s became available in MP3 format only in April 2012; an example that not everything is automatically is available in MP3 as soon as possible.)
... and before any wag says, or even thinks "it", yes - the Norwegian band's album is very good! (Still waiting for their second album, from 1982, though!)
You may be surprised at how often a song or album is not available because of "contractual problems" - in other words, someone's being greedy, difficult, or both. (Another album I like, from a UK band of the 70's, was unavailable for a long time because - and I'm quoting the band's leader - "the copyright owner wanted too much money for the album to be on CD.")
You could try looking for the song in other stores. If it's not yet available anyhwere, you'll just have to be patient. You could try contacting the band via any websites they have, and asking them about it's availability. What's the song? Perhaps I (or soemoen else) might be able to confirm it's availability on MP3 from another source.
