1 song, different albums, same artist.

Hello,
I have a question. I bought some albums on itunes (using my iPhone 5). Three of those albums have some songs that are exactly the same, artist and name. Two of those albums have one song that is exactly the same, no problem. but some of the songs on one of those 2 albums and another one are exactly the same too, however, these songs get deleted from one album and only show up on the other. I'd like to just have them duplicated on my phone since they are all from two different albums. Is there anyway to make my iPhone 5 let them show the songs because I paid for all my music so I think I have the right to have them all so I don't have to switch between albums.
(All this is only happening on my iPhone, all the songs show up duplicated in iTunes)
I hope someone can answer my question.
Thank you.

Filling in the album artist field doesn't help. It is the same artist. Anyway whatever I do to one song it automatically changes all the info to match in the other.

Sorting songs by 'Album by Artist/Year' bug in iTunes 9.0

As the title suggests, there is a massive bug in the new iTunes when sorting songs by 'Album by Artist/Year.'
Pretty much, it is not separating different discs from the same album. In a 2 disc CD, it goes like this:
Disc 1, Track 1
Disc 2, Track 1
Disc 1, Track 2
Disc 2, Track 2
It is extremely annoying, a major oversight from Apple.
I have attached a screenshot: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3134/itunesbug.jpg

Hello,
As far as I can see, you can't sort the order of music on the iPod Touch. It is always sorted alphabetically.
Maybe you can suggest that as a feature to Apple.

Why does iTunes play consecutive songs by the same artist so often?

Is there a way to stop or greatly reduce the issue in iTunes of playing consecutive songs by the same artist when playing in "shuffle" mode? There was a slide tool in preferences that allowed you to set that to "less likely" or "more likely" but that appears to be gone from iTunes now, or at least I can't find it. Not that it matters much, the problem was WORSE when they added that "tool" anyway. It was less likely before they added whatever that algorithm was. Now this happens constantly that my iPod plays 2 or 3 consecutive songs by the same artist when I am playing it in shuffle mode. I have over 3500 songs on my iPod but it will usually play only a small percentage of those before starting to repeat also. It seems to "stick" in a small area of the alphabet when in shuffle mode. Meaning, it will play artists whose names begin with say L through R and ONLY those artists, then repeat a bunch of them after playing only 20-30 songs. Everything else seems to be working fine on my iPod but this. I suspect it's the programming in iTunes but of course, I have no way to prove that and Apple being the quasi Communist gov't type that they are, I can get no answers from them on this or most questions I have. Maybe somebody here has encountered one of these issues and can offer some resolution?

I wish Apple would just remove the feature that supposedly addresses this issue. It worked better when there was no setting for this. I'm just tired of being pencil whipped by Big Brother.

Sorting, 1 artist, 2 different albums same name

I'm trying to make the albums "Einstein On the Beach" by Philip Glass separate. I have a 1979 recording, and a 1993 version, but they both go sort together, and I want to be able to separate them without changing their names. How can I do that?

If you want the photo with different names in different albums, you have to create a second version of the photo and then use different versions in your two albums. Albums do not actually store the photos, they just reference the version of the photo in the event. If you change the name of a version in one album, it will change the version in the event and all albums update to the new name.
To create a new version of your photo use the command "Duplicate" from the "Photos" menu. That will not actually duplicate the original image file, but just create a new edited version.

Songs listed under same artist in iTunes, but not on iPod!?

I have six songs with Marilyn Manson in iTunes; four of them are from the "Lest We Forget"-album. For the other two, I do not have any album-information.
In iTunes, all six songs are listed under Marilyn Manson. On my iPod, however, when I browse to Marilyn Manson, only the four songs from the "Lest We Forget"-album are listed. The other two songs are missing when I browse by artist. However, when I browse by song, the two songs are there all right. And when I play the songs, Marilyn Manson is listed as the artist.
Anyone experienced anything similar? I know this could be the case if the name of the artist is spelled differently for the different songs, but this is not the case here. No exstra spaces in the artistname, exactly the same spelling for all six songs. Still, my iPod is not able to list all songs correctly under the same artist... Any solutions?
cheers,
pj

nope, there is no "all albums". I do not actually get to choose any albums at all; the iPod just goes directly from Marilyn Manson to display all four songs in the "Lest We Forget"-album. Just like when you just have one album for an artist and iPod just skips the "choose album"-screen.
Anyway, seems like this is a bug and has been discussed before:

How do I shuffle the songs by the same artist in a playlist I made??

I hope this is the right forum, I have a 30GB. OK so I created a workout playlist which has about 200 songs in it and have it set on shuffle. but when I play it on my Ippd it groups all the same artist together. I don't want the same artist to play back to back but it does. I have toyed with the shuffle over and over and I can't seem to figure out how to make them play randomly. any help?

While a song is playing keep pressing the center wheel and you will get the shuffle menu that will allow you to change the shuffle type from "off", "song", "album".

I changed all songs to the same artist by mistake ...help!

I accidently changed all my 712 songs to have the same artist. Is there a way to fix them back without manually typing in each artist?
My son says i can use idump to put the songs from my ipod (which are correct) into a file, then load them into itunes.
Thanks.

Yes.
Were these songs RIP'd from CD using iTunes?
If so, select them, then menu Advanced -> Get CD track names.

Hello !!
Radical Face ( 3 from 3 from 1 )
Radical Face is a musical act consisting of Ben Cooper (born c.1982), a resident of Jacksonville, Florida, who also makes up one-half of Electric President and Iron Orchestra and one third of Mother's Basement. The name Radical Face was chosen after seeing it on a flyer. He later found out it was a plastic surgery flyer saying 'Radical Face-Lift' with the word 'lift' ripped off.
On November 16, 2010, Cooper released a six-track EP titled Touch The Sky, which serves as an appetizer for an announced trilogy of albums called Family Tree. Leading up to the release of The Roots, The Bastards: Volume One EP was released track by track. The first album, titled The Roots, was released on October 4, 2011. In August The Roots was accidentally released to users outside of the US on iTunes. The Roots will be followed by The Branches and The Leaves. ( Wikipedia )
Ghost was the first studio album released by Radical Face in March 2007 on Morr Music.
The family tree : The roots was released on October 4, 2011
The family tree : The branches was released on October 22, 2013

HT1473 I am online but it won't name my tracks as it says in step 2 If your computer is connected to the Internet, iTunes will automatically look up information for the CD such as song name, album and artist. This feature will work with most commercially

I Am adding CDs to put onto my iPod. It used to automatically name the tracks and now it doesn't. I am connected to the Internet and it comes up with this text. "User not registered for online use"
does anybody know what I need to do?
thanks

Believe it or not, that article helped me find a temporary solution. After reading it I realized that the problem did have to do with my DNS settings. I had taken the DNS settings that my ISP gives me when I dial up and plugged them into the configuration for my AirPort card. This apparently caused a problem because, although my wireless network is always on, it's not always connected to the internet. So those DNS settings were invalid most of the time.
I found that as long as I leave the area for DNS servers blank, the computer logs in normally. This further confirms my suspicion that something was trying to access the internet at login. I guess as long as I don't specify any DNS servers, the computer realizes it doesn't have an internet connection through my AirPort card.
So I just created two network locations: one for when my network is connected to the internet and one for when it isn't. In the first, I kept my original DNS settings because they work as long as I have an internet connection. In the second I did not specify any DNS servers. This seems to work fine, but I'd still like to know what is trying to access the internet at login. I've disabled the automatic update feature in all my programs that have it, but that doesn't seem to help the slowdown at login. Does anyone know how I could figure out what program is trying to access the internet?

Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

Hi,
a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
Here's an example:
I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
I discovered something else though:
When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please answer my question?

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.

ITunes duplicating artwork for same artist but different song.

iTunes is automatically adding artwork to another song of the same artist in my library. I import artwork for one track of an artist and iTunes applies that artwork to all tracks by the same artist. This is silly. They are all singles and I want each track to have the proper artwork.
I have tried deleting the duplicated artwork and adding its own but that doesnt help. I tried restarting iTunes as well.

Thanks for your help but its doesnt really apply to me.
Let me try to be more clear. I have 100 SINGLES that I have in an album that I named "1980 Top 100". I do this because I have 1981, 82, 83, 84..and so on.
Within this album I have a few artist with 2 or 3 singles. iTunes is automatically adding the artwork for "Air Supply - All Out Of Love" to "Air Supply - Lost In Love". I should be able to add a different artwork for each single an artist has within this album. However, I cannot seem to force iTunes to use the artwork I want for a track of the same artist.
THE REASON I BELIEVE THIS CAN BE FIXED:
From those 2 tracks by Air Supply, they each are showing different artwork in their info. Coverflow seems to be grouping the artists.
EDIT: In another album Im getting this:
CoverFlow is not grouping the artist but it is using the same artwork for both even though they each have their own separate artwork in the info...

How do I get iTunes to play all the songs and albums from the same artist?

Before the update, you used to be able to play all the songs from the same artist across all albums (ie: you have 2 albums from the same artist, you start one, it would play through both in order). Why did this change, and is there some way to get it to work?

Have you read the link that roaminggnome posted ? What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove them), and whether you've moved countries since buying/downloading them.

1 song, different albums, same artist.
