Album and artist title larger than other album titles?

When viewing my music through grid view and sorting by albums one of the titles for one of my albums have a larger font size than any of the other in my library. It's not the selected or the currently played album. It's the first of a few albums of the same artist, but its only with this particular artist that this occurs. I've compared the "get info" tags on this album do the other by the same artist and they all seem to be the same. I have no idea why this is happening. I've tried the usual, restart, changing thumbnail size, tried different viewing modes etc etc.
Anyone have any idea why this is?

Hi David and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Quit iTunes. This might be a corrupted iTunes preference file... locate this file: com.apple.iTunes.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to your Desktop. Launch iTunes, and look at that one album title and see if it's the correct font size. if it is, drag that .plist file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
Post back if you need more help.

  • ITunes refuses to group one video with others with the same album and artist

    This is absolutely ridiculous. They have the exact same album and artist name, yet my latest addition refuses to group with the others. I've tried so many things, yet it still won't group. Tried adding some random text to both the album and artist. Then tried removing the random text. Also tried completely removing all the text and manually typing them again. Still does the exact same thing. And believe me, there are no spaces or weird characters that differentiate them. They are exactly the same. The weird thing is, if I add the word "Nuke" before "Jizztage" in the title, it will then group. What the ****? I don't want the title of the video to be "Nuke Jizztage Volume 1." Just so frustrating for an app that has been around for donkey's years. And no, it's not a big deal. Just annoys me that I have to spend hours trying to figure out why this stupid piece of software won't do the simplest of things!

    A Little further clarification.....

  • No indexed list and alphabet bar in "albums" and "artists"

    Please help!!! No indexed list and alphabet bar in "albums" and "artists" suddenly, but only in "songs", firmware 2.2.1. Any idea???

    You only get the 'index' running down the right of the screen if you have enough items in that category. Somewhere over 20-30, I believe.

  • I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • When syncing Ipod to itunes some of the albums pull music from other albums and place the songs in an album that doesn't relate or of the same artist. I have reloaded the ipod twice with the same affect. Any ideas??

    I appreciate any help on this..very frustrating listening to Led Zep album and another groups song is listed in the album. If I look at the album in itunes all albums look perfectly correct.

    I feel your pain!  I have the same exact problem.  Have you gotten a solution yet?

  • Itunes erased all the album and artist info when reloading library!!!

    My problem is a big one. I've got 8600+ songs (800+ albums) on my hard drive. These are all from physical CDs; I ripped them in wav, then converted them to mp3. When I did this, I kept both the wav AND mp3 files in each respective album folder; about 400G of wav and 80G of mp3.
    OK, so a couple weeks ago I got hit with a virus. It messed up my XP OS to the point where I needed to do a reformat and reinstall. All of my music files are on an external hard drive, so no big deal there. I finish the reinstall, re-download itunes, and tell it where to find my music, and to import it into the library.
    This is where things go horribly wrong. Itunes imports all the mp3 files in as separate folders/albums, just like before, with all the track and artist info intact. However, for some reason, it took all the wav files and dumped them into one giant Unknown Artist/Unknown Album folder. In doing so, it appears to have stripped the artist AND album info from every single one of the 8600+ tracks! I don't know why it did this, as the wav files in the itunes folder all had the exact same track info as the mp3s.
    My question now is: is there any way I can get this info BACK, any program that can look at the individual tracks and figure out what artist and album they go with? Or is there something within itunes that can do it that I haven't found yet? There's no way I can go through and do this track by track; I can't even begin to calculate how long that'd take. My only OTHER option would be to re-rip all the CDs, but again, that took months the first time and I don't want to do it again. However, these files are pretty much useless as they are, in a giant pile that seems only to be organized by the songs' respective track numbers.
    I am screaming HELP in capital letters here. Even if I could find a program or solution that would find MOST of the tracks' info, I'd be happy. I'd also be interested in knowing why itunes did this in the first place, for future reference.
    And just to head off one solution I expect to be offered, no, I did not have the files backed up anywhere else; reimporting an un-reorganized version of the library isn't an option. I had just finished ripping them and hadn't picked up a second hard drive yet. I know, first thing I should have done.
    In any event, any help would be appreciated. Please feel free to email me. Thanks.

    I just remembered some older posts talking about some software from musicbrainz.org.
    It might be able to make some sense out of all those WAV files, if you decide to spend the time on it. Honestly I'd prefer to rip my CDs than go through something like that, because I'm a control freak and would not trust the program to really find the right info....but that's just me. It might be easy to set up and a snap to use, for all I know.

  • Album and artist showing in itunes, but not in manual sync

    I have a 8 gig ipod touch and my library is larger so I have to select to manually add artists on my ipod. The problem is the artist I want isn't appearing in the artist section in sync. the artist is in itunes library but will not appear and doesn't come up in the search bar.
    Can anybody please help me fix this issue, I need to listen to some Sublime.

    perhaps what turingtest2 suggested in another thread helps:
    To display all artists in the Artists menu on your iPod, even those who only appear on compilations, remove the ticks against both of the iPod Compilation menu items, i.e.
    Settings > Main Menu > Music > Compilations
    Settings > Music Menu > Compilations
    Cover flow should remain the same, with all compilations albums listed at the right-hand end.
    To display all artists in the Artists browser column in iTunes turn off the preference to Group compilations when browsing. Provided you have set the Album Artist field the albums should remain grouped together.

  • IPod Touch Duplicates Albums and Artists

    Hi, I recently got a 3rd Gen iPod Touch (64gb) and have had some trouble after syncing it to my iTunes library. My old iPod never had any problems, but after syncing the iPod Touch many of the albums and some of the artists in my library appear twice.
    I've checked for spaces after the names or different album artwork, but the real problem is that the albums or artists are listed twice in their entrety - every song appears twice. Is there any fix for this?

    I also recently got a 3rd gen iPod Touch (32GB) and saw the same feature.
    It appeared that if an album had different artists then the album was duplicated for each different artist name.
    A solution which seems to work is to set the compilation to 'yes' :-as follows
    Select all the tunes in the album
    Get info
    asks - do you want to edit information for multiple items - yes
    Select Options tab
    Part of compilation - set to yes
    Resync

  • Songs not showing up under album and artist after cd download only as artist.

    Downloaded music from cds show up on ipad and iphone under songs but not in albums or artist.

    Open iTunes on your computer and right click one of the problem songs and click "Get Info." Then make sure your song is not part of a "Compilation." (There should be a check box for that) Unchecking the box should fix the problem with showing under "Artist."

  • I was in Country Genre and after trying to update album names and artist iTunes changed A LOT of the albums and artist names in that genre to the same one! How Do I make everything go back to normal?

    Take My Nashille Album, Which had the right Album name and right artitsts is now "American Ride" By Tobey Keith!!! And there are many more like that!

    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.

  • An artist has more than one album.

    I have a Katy Perry album and it shows that she has 2 albums on my iTunes but there is really one. And also, I have a "Various Arist" selection that says that there are 6 albums when it really shows only 4. How do I fix this???

    Most issues are fixed by making sure the tagging is consistent. See Grouping tracks into albums for details,

  • How to shuffle on albums and not the individual tracks on albums

    This is breaking my head.
    I have ripped my CD's in iTunes and now i have a large number of songs.
    I have a playlist that is uploaded to my iPod Shuffle.
    But my Q is:
    How can i shuffle on my iPod shuffle between albums instead of the individual songs.
    I have seen the playback options in the advanced section saying shoffle by Album. But that options does not appear to have any effect on the shuffling on my iPod.
    Any ideas
    Thanks
    Jitse

    If you want to shuffle a single album go to Settings
    -> Shuffle and set to Songs.
    The go to Music -> Albums (or Music -> Artists->
    Albums), select an album then press Play.
    If you want to play albums at random, Settings ->
    Shuffle - Album.
    When you play anything, it will play a song at
    randiom, then play in order the songs on that album
    (if it start at song #3, it will play #3 thru end)
    then go to another random song in the selection and
    play the remainder of that album.
    All well and good... B U T the OP (and this thread) was talking about doing it on a Shuffle:
    "...I have a playlist that is uploaded to my iPod Shuffle.
    But my Q is:
    How can i shuffle on my iPod shuffle between albums instead of the individual songs..."
    Get it?

  • Is it  possible to change the name of a photo in one album without changing the name in other albums?

    I use the photos in events to create more than one album and I want to use a unique name in each album. When I change the name in one album, all instances of the photo also change.

    Correct. Albums just reference the photos in an Event - it's why a pic can be in 50 albums and use no extra disk space. So, change one and you change all. The alternative is to duplicate the pic in the Event.
