Organizing music for iTunes/ipod- help

Example, I have several Tom Petty songs. However, 3 songs are in one place, 1 song in another place, 7 songs in another place.
SO.. when I go to play all my Tom Petty, and I hit the Tom Petty song that is in a separate folder it will auto stop after that one song, even though there are 10 more Tom Petty songs.
How do I place all my singles by the same artist in the same folder so the music continually plays on my iPhone when I look up Tom Petty.

Make a smart playlist.
Artist contains Tom Petty.
Didn't you ask this same question in another post?

  • Organizing music btwn  iTunes & Touch 3g

    I have my music orginzed a certain way in iTunes and when it's synced with the Touch its not in the same order on the touch.
    Example: Newly added songs are in alphabetical order in iTunes on the Touch they are not in alphabetical order under newly added.
    Organizing music btwn iTunes & Touch 3g

    A known bug in the Touch's 3.1.x OS. The workaround is to edit the smart playlist and add the criteria "Playlist Is Music", where Music is the general folder in your iTunes library for music items. Do that and re-sync, then you'll have what you want.

    I uploaded music to my iPhone 4 (ios 6) from PC. Music files are tagged with genres, which i can se i.e. on winamp. When i want to open music on iPhone under specific genre, it shows me, that there is no music. Organizing music in iTunes is pretty hard and mysterious to me. Please help! Thx!

    select the playlist in iTunes.
    right-click the playlist name and select +copy to play order+. sync the Touch.

  • I downloaded some music for my ipod but it doesnt play!

    I downloaded some music for my iPod but it doesn't play. After I put it on my iPod it went gray and I couldnt play it, how do I get it to play/work?

    Did you purchase it form iTunes?
    Did you redownload it from iTunes using:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Did yu sync it to your iPod from your iTunes library on your computer? If yes, does it play OK in iTunes on the computer?
    Is it an iTunes purchase?

    My old Apple ID is still showing when i need to reset my security questions. And i am not able to buy music on iTunes. someone help?!

    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account/Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the Apple ID that was used to download the apps to install app updates.
    Apps downloaded with one Apple ID can't be transferred to another ID and accounts can't be merged.

  • ITunes deleted all the music on my ipod - help!

    I purchased a fourth generation black and white screen 20GB ipod that had some music on it.
    I've been listening to the music for about a week without bothering to connect up to my computer.
    Today I installed the software that came with the ipod and updated to the newest versions of iTunes and Quicktime.
    I connected my ipod when it told me to.
    No music appeared in iTunes and all the music has been deleted from the ipod, the ipod menus for music are empty.
    When I disconnect my ipod I now have no music to listen to.
    Where did it go and how can I get it back?
    Thank you.

    You might not bea ble to get it back. Invest $100 on itunes cards!

  • Importing all my music to iTunes(Please help me out)

    Hello,
    I just purchased a 20gb ipod today and am havintg some trouble importing all of my music. I have complete music library's in "RealPlayer" "Winamp" and "Windows Media Player", it doesnt matter which one of these i import from(whatevers easier i guess). I have tried the add folder option on "Documents and settings", "my documents" and "program files" and it has only imported around 600 of the 3600 songs in my music library.
    Also, i have read pages and pages on this board trying to find an answer. I saw one post which talked about this very issue but it was never resolved. It confronted importing from windows media to iTunes and the answer was to highlight all the music and drag it over to iTunes. This Does Not Work. I highlight all my song, hold down on the mouse and move it over to the iTunes box. However once i leave the Windows media box the arrow from my mouse turns into a circle w/a line acrosse, not allowing me to drag it.
    Please Give me an answer on how I can import all my music to iTunes. If you do I will kiss your feet and applaud your genious.
    Please help me out.
    Josh

    Hi,
    No. I never found a solution to the problem to import my music libary from Realplayer to itunes.
    I have exhausted everything that I know and have read as tips from this and other posts.
    Please come back to post an answer if you find a solution and I will do the same.
    I am going to go ahead and just synch to Realplayer to fill up my ipod. Then I will see if I can switch to itunes for all future synching and hope that I can find a way not to lose the music on my ipod that came from Realplayer. If this doesn't work, I will have to stick with Realplayer as my main music interface and synching for ipod.

  • Do I need to make a separate copy of my music for iTunes to find it?

    Can iTunes be set up to automatically update my music if I add new music or change the folder a certain album is in?  Or do I need to create a separate folder of my music for my iTunes library (I have over 30GB of music).  While I am asking, will my iTunes folder for video only display the videos that are in mp4 format (is it possible for iTunes to convert video files)?  I am a recent convert from the Zune player, and while I love my IPod Touch, I think the Zune software was better, as it always updated my music from my folder and converted video to play on my Zune......   

    iTunes doesn't monitor your media folders in the way Windows Media Player does. Use iTunes Folder Watch.
    iTunes won't convert other video formats, but again third party tools can help. Try DVDVideoSoft Free Studio.
    Since you're coming from a WMP perspective you might find my tips here and here for getting WMP and iTunes to play nicely together useful: (Hmm, those links don't seem to be landing properly at the right posts within the thread but I'm sure you can find the relevant sections.).
    iTunes also has some "interesting" organizational quirks which I cover in an article on Grouping tracks into albums.

  • No matter what I've tried, I can't add music to my iPod. help?

    The computer I usually use to add music to my iPod is broken, so I was trying to use a different computer in our household. When I plug in my iPod touch, it acknowledges that it is plugged in and everything. Then when I try to put music onto it, it goes through the motions of adding music, but when I look at the music section of my iPod, there is no music, and on the computer screen it says that it's on the iPod, but instead of having the names in black the song names are all in gray.
         I've also paid for the iTunes Match service, but when I enable it and look at the music section on my iPod, it never loads the music. It just comes up with an empty loading bar that never fills. I do have music in the Cloud, but it doesn't come up.
    I've tried backing up to the new computer and syncing to it, but it still doesn't add music.
         If anyone can help, I'll name my first born child after you.

    I had the same problem.  It was because I had maxed out my iPod's capacity.  Once I deleted some things off my iPod to free up space I was able to drag my songs onto my iPod without any problem.  Good luck.  Hope this solves your problem.

  • Network & iTunes & iPod Help Please

    Hi everyone, I have a 60 Gig video iPod, and my iTunes library is on my home computer. I have my iPod setup to manually update the songs. I like to plug my iPod into my work computer to charge it and also have iTunes play my music on my iPod. Now this works all fine with no problems until I log onto my work network. My network drives are mapped starting at Drive E, and when I am logged onto the network and then plug in my iPod, iTunes shows the iPod, but I can't access any of the music on it. Now, if I am not logged onto the network and plug in my iPod iTunes accesses my iPod just fine and I can use iTunes to play my iPod music.
    Does anyone know of a setting I can change in iTunes so that I can play my iPod music when I am logged into the network??
    Thanks in advance for any help you have to offer.

    OK, I just restarted my computer and hooked up my iPod before I logged onto the network. Itunes opened and showed my ipod and I can access the songs that are on my iPod and play them through iTunes. I opened up My Computer, and there isn't an extra drive. I double click the Network Drive and it is still labled as the network drive, and it opens and displays the folders that are on my ipod. Now when I log onto the network and then connect my iPod, iTunes opens up and shows the iPod with a "H:\" name, and i can't access anything on my iPod. I open up my computer, and it doesn't show another drive being connected to my computer. I check the hardware profile, and it has my iPod listed as being another drive connected to my computer and that it has no problems. I check the properties and it shows my iPod with the name and a drive letter of E:\.
    This is what is causing my problem. I don't know how to fix it. Other than changing the network mapping drive - which really isn't an option because of all the ini files I would have to change for the network programs I run on my machine.
