ABBA Gold Album split into 2 Albums since with 11.4(18) update

Strange things happen, with a click on the Album (ABBA Gold latest) it split up into 2 Albums one with only the 1. Song and one with the rest.
I tried to delete it locally and download from the cloud again, but when I choose to view the "music" in the cloud it is still split into 2 albums ... So it looks like the split is in the data on the cloud...
I read a ton of articles about split albums, but couldn't change anything...
Any Idea how to fix this?

Select the songs, do right-click->Get Info, and fill in the Album Artist field (eg, "Westide Story Cast"). This should override the "Artist" field and cause the songs to be grouped into one album.
The individual artists will display under the songs when viewing the album (although I've found I have to restart iTunes for that to occur).

In the itunes library, a single album appears to be split into two separate parts, how do i combine them?

my itunes library has several albums that are split into two parts. one contains half of the album's songs and the other the other half. how do i combine these so the album only appears once in it's entirety?

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things.

The Same Album is Split Into Two On My iPod

Okay this may be hard to explain but here it goes...
I bought a CD, and imported it onto my iTunes library. No big deal. It imported fine. Then I tried importing it onto my 4th Generation iPod Touch (32GB). The album has 10 tracks, and it was split into two on my iPod. One album has all tracks 1-10, while the other has tracks 2-10. But when I search up the song on my iPod (on the songs list), it only comes up as one. I tried deleted the album that has tracks 2-10, but when I do, the tracks 2-10 on the other album get deleted, so I'm only left with Track 1.
This is starting to get really confusing for me and I don't know what to do. In my iTunes library it comes up as one album, on iTunes when I look at my songs list it comes up as one album, and even on my actual iPod on the songs list, there's only 1 version of each song, but on the albums list, there's 2 versions of the same album.
Please help! Thanks so much !!

In iTunes on your computer right click on the songs and select Get Info and look at the sorting. From iTunes Help
Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.

1 album split into two

Hi
I have an album in iTunes 10.5.1 which is split into two, there does not appear to be an discernable diferences in the Get Info of the various tracks, so why does iTunes insist on splitting the album?
Is there any way to tell iTunes that all the tracks are from the same album?
Cheers.

Thanks again for the reply,
I've selected all the tracks then copied and pasted the name of the Artist in the Get Info- Sorting- Sort Artist, this seems to have done the trick. If this fails I'll play around with this option, but this is something that I would rather not do in the future so I appreciate your tip.
Cheers.

Tracks of album split into 2 albums

iTimes 11.1.3 -- some of my albums are split into sections that actually appear as if they are entirely separate albums. In all cases, these are albums that had been downloaded from iTunes Store (years ago). For example, I have 3 albums. For simplicity I'll call them album 1, 2 & 3. Album 1 is missing 3 tracks. Album 2 contains 2 of the tracks that belong to Album 1. Album 3 has the third track that belongs to Album 1.
Don't know how this happened (it was years ago). Am trying to combine so they all are in a single album.

Glad that helped.

Incorporating an album created with iweb into a website created with Dreamw

Hi, is it possible to create photo albums with iweb (I know, the answer to that is YES) and then incorporate them into my website created with Dreamweaver? If so, can anyone explain to me how to do this? I cannot find, on the 'puter, where the albums are stored! Sorry, I am NOT a computer expert:( Thanks in advance.

Thank you Wyodor :)) I now understand! Publishing to a folder on my computer and then using it in DW. I have tried that but iweb got "stuck" during the transfert, so I'll try again. I am NOT computer orientated but, strange as it may sound, I find it much easier to use DW than iweb!!!
On my pc I was fine using DW and Photoshop but since migrating to Mac I had problems creating my picture galleries - photoshop would only let me use 25 characters in my file names! (when creating the picture gallery). I am NOT good at explaining things but if you care to look at my site you will see what I mean (under cards - Drool cards 2009/10, for example) www.bassettissimmo.com So somebody suggested using iweb. I tried it out but found myself getting stuck - I have so many folders, sub folders and sub sub folders! But I found that the photo albums were far more attractive than those I could create in photoshop, hence my question to this forum.
Someone has already asked the question, and YES I do need very long file names!. There are about 10,000 (ten) photos on my website - it's a basset hound collectables museum! Thus, I like to give as much information as possible about each card or object. For example, in the cards section there will be the number of the card, type and if relevant artist, plus country of origin. Ex: 3452 greetings card, Pam Tanzey, USA.jpeg. So you see, 25 characters is not enough and I have not found a way in photoshop to solve this problem.
Thank you again for your help.

HT1473 Often times when I copy a CD into my library it breaks the CD into more than one Album, all with the same name but with only a few of the songs on each. This happens whenever the CD has music with more than one artists...like maybe duets.

Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?

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.

Can I transfer my hand made album sequence (sort order) defined in element when I turn a local album into a mobile album used with IPAD. Or do I have to change the dates artificially?

Can I transfer my hand made album sequence (sort order) defined in elemenst when I turn a local album into a mobile album used with IPAD. Or do I have to change the dates artificially?

Andrew, I know I am extremely late to the party but I too use Grid View. I had the same problem that you had but have found this to work for me. I used it and it is still holding as my default sorting even after switching between the Artist page and Grid View.
Once you are inside of the Artist page continue to click on the Album column until it shows Album by Artist/Year.
That will give you each album sorted by the year instead of it randomly sorting it for you each time you leave an Artist's page and then back again.
Hope this helps.

i purchased an album from itunes,2 of the tracks only partly downloaded.itunes have since sent me the tracks again but they wont sinc with my ipod,which still has the defective tracks on it.any help would be great.

First, I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod (although it sounds like it might be a problem with your iTunes or the files themselves).
For info on restoring and iPod, see this:

Does iTunes take album art with it from computer to computer?

I am going to transfer my entire iTunes library to a new computer in a few weeks. Will iTunes automatically take all my album art with it to the new computer, or will I have to have to find it all again?
I listen to mainly classical music, so iTunes has a hard time finding most of my album art. It was a painstaking process of searching amazon.com for hours to get most of the album covers...I'd hate to have to do it again.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has experience with this!

I'm resurrecting this old thread because the question wasn't answered and I face the same problem. I want to copy my music from my external HD to an internal HD and want the album artwork I've painstaking downloaded from Amazon and other sources (cduniverse, google image search, etc) to be preserved. By "album artwork", I mean that I've dragged the image into the album artwork box in the lower-left of the iTunes window - I haven't embedded it into each individual track's ID3 tag area.
Using "consolidate library" followed by an iTunes-initiated copy isn't what I want. Let me explain why.
Currently my large collection of MP3's is on an external H.D. but doesn't live in the iTunes folder. The top-level folders are -
\iTunes
\My Music\_A-D
\My Music\_E-J
\My Music\_M-R
\My Music\_S-Z
\My Music\CLASSICAL
\My Music\SOUNDTRACKS
\My Music\VARIOUS
... and under each top-level folder there are artist\album folders containing the actual music.
If I consolidate, everything will be merged into artist\album format under iTunes, which will me more of a pain to navigate outside of iTunes. Instead, I want to preserve the current \My Music structure.
Right now I keep the \iTunes folder and \My Music on the external HD which I mount as "T:" under Windows XP SP2 on my home PC, my laptop, or my office PC. That way iTunes works fine in all three places. But I'd like to copy the whole library onto the internal "E:" drive of my home machine or my office machine and have the library look like it does now, with artwork intact.
But I'm pretty sure if I just do the copy that I'll lose all the album artwork, since it must reference files on the external HD T:\[etc] explicitly, which won't exist when I copy the database to the internal HD E:\[etc] and eject the external HD.
Does anyone know how to do this? Are there 3rd-party tools which can re-reference the album artwork database before or after the copy?
- Jim
