Album Name Display
On my previous iPod Nano, when viewing albums, the name of the album would scroll if it was long to be able to see the full name. Now on my new iPod Touch, long album names are always displayed with an elipsis at the end. All of my album names are long so that I can sort my classical music in iTunes, but I can't tell which is which in normal album view if I have for example a dozen albums with the name: "Beethoven: Symphon...".
Is there a way around this?

A way around? Not really. In landscape mode, cover-flow view, album names are displayed in considerably greater length but this may not be what you want. Of course, the album names can be edited (shortened) in iTunes with the File menu item *Get Info* but this involves work.
Perhaps you should suggest this useful feature to Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

Changing ipod album name display
On itunes on my computer I can personalize how information is displayed. . If I'm clicked on a folder, I can click "View" and then "View Options" and display or hide any info that I want.
But I don't see these kinds of options for my ipod. . Specifically, I would like to see the album name before I begin playing a song and bring up the song playing screen. . I only see the album name on the current song playing screen. . If I Menu back to check out what I want to listen to next, I can never see the album name. . I can only see the song name and artist name.
Can I change how my ipod displays the information that it has so that it displays the album name within the playlist BEFORE I select a song to play ?If I Menu back to check out what I want to listen to next, I can never see the album name. . I can only see the song name and artist name.
It all depends how you got to the song playing.
Go to Music -> Albums and it will do what you want. -
How to edit music album names - too long to display in Ipod
How can I edit music/audio album names. I don't really care about music but I have a lot of audio files and they all have the same name, followed by "Disk 1," "Disk 2," etc. The problem is that the "Disk 1" doesn't get displayed because there's not enough room on the Ipod display. I would think I could edit this in Itunes but don't see how to do it. I would like to1 shorten the title so the "Disk 1" can be displayed. Hope that is clear.
Thanks for any help.You can edit album names in iTunes on your computer.
Select all of the songs in the album, Select Get Info from the File menu, edit the Album name in the Info tab of the Get Info window and select OK.
This will change the name of the album. Note that you must change the album name for all of the songs in the album or you will end up with two albums. -
How to display Album Name / Artwork if only one album is in Ipod
I have a 160GB Ipod, and after transferring the favorite CD's from my collection the thing is now full. Because there's so much on the thing I have many Artists on my Ipod with only one of their albums.
Anyway, if you only have ONE album from a given artist when you click on that artist's name under the "artists" category it will not display the album name to click on (and thus not display the artwork,) it just goes right into displaying the tracks from that artist's album. If you have two albums this problem obviously doesn't exist and it displays both album names for you to click on.
Is there any way for me to have it display the album name and album picture under an artist's name if I only have one of their albums? For example, if I had only Axis Bold as Love by Hendrix and no other album I want to be able to click on his name under artists, see "Axis Bold As Love" and subsequently its album art to lcik on RATHER than clicking on his name and seeing the track listing right away for Axis Bold As Love (that's how it is now.)
I don't like to use CoverFlow, I prefer to scroll by Artist name.
Thanks.For example, if I had only Axis Bold as Love by Hendrix and no other album I want to be able to click on his name under artists, see "Axis Bold As Love" and subsequently its album art to lcik on RATHER than clicking on his name and seeing the track listing right away for Axis Bold As Love
And?
Click on a song to play the album. Why do you want to click on the album cover? -
How do I get iTunes 11 to display full album names?
I miss the old iTunes already.
My main question is how do I get it to show me my full album names as in album view? It always shows thumbnails of the albums, seems you don't get another choice for how to view your albums...you're forced into what Apple thinks is great, and these thumbnails only have a max of 9 characters before the rest of the album name is not shown. Quite frustrating.
Secondly is there a way to get iTunes to show me my songs like before where the album cover could be seen along a list of all my songs?I have the same i liked the carousel thing showing my albums cant find a way to dsplay it either luckily its still on my i phopne

Folder and Album names onto CD
Please bear with me. I did this before and now I can't figure out how. Such are the ravages of aging brains.
I'm trying to copy the music from my old vinyls to CDs I can play in my car. I have software and a USB connection that let me get the music onto my computer in MP3 form. Plays back OK on the computer. I created a playlist in iTunes with a bunch of songs and used iTunes to burn the music onto a CD. Works fine.
Here's the problem: I have 116 songs on one CD that display a title when they play, but there is no other organization. I did this once before with a bunch of other albums and when I playback the display shows a folder name and an album name. That way I can skip an entire album or artist easily to get to what I want instead of advancing song by song through dozens and dozens.
The new CD I created doesn't have that info, just Unknown Folder or Unknown Album. Looking at the Properties of the mp3s I created, all the Details/Media are filled in, i.e., Artists, Album Artist, Album, even Year, #, Genre and Length.
What am I missing?Lucky Eddie,
You are remembering correctly. Before you burn the MP3 CD, sort the playlist by Album. That will cause iTunes to burn the MP3 CD with the songs in an Artist/Album structure.
For more information, see this document:
iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD
Look especially at the section "How to burn by album." -
I just installed iTunes 10.5 (latest version as of 11 Jan 2012), onto a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I loaded my music library into it, it compiled the list and separated them by album. But even though I'd assigned most of the albums artwork through my Zune management software (a Microsoft product), almost none of them populated into iTunes. So I went through and started asking the software to try to find album artwork where possible.
I did this a few times album by album, then I decided to select multiple albums and see what happened. No problems. Then I selected all of the albums I had--about 600 in all--and asked it to get artwork. It seemed to process for a bit, then came back with the error, "Artwork for [album name] could not be located. You do not have permission to access the requested resource." I tried this on several individual albums, only to receive that same error.
The very first time I did it, I was told I needed an account with the iTunes store to make it work, so I signed in using an old Apple ID (the account had been inactive for so long it had been locked for security, I unlocked it and that seemed to be that). Then I did what I described above.
The weird thing--to me--is that I can still add artwork to the albums manually if I want to, from imagery stored locally on my own computer. The only thing it seems to have a problem with is when I ask it to go find artwork from the iTunes store.
Do I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it? Did something go wrong with the process of authorizing the computer to work with the iTunes store? Do I need to de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer? Could this be something related to Windows permissions on the iTunes library?Right on about how to reset the warnings, it was exactly that.
I went through the steps to let iTunes through Windows Firewall, but still get the same problem when I access the iTunes store (and even though I followed the steps in the help file to the letter, I notice it still says iTunes is NOT enabled for it). And now, thanks to the re-enabled warnings, when I try to get it to download artwork for single albums, this is what I get:
"Artwork for [album name] could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

How do I print a list of only the album names I have in Itunes.
I am new to I Tunes.
I am using Windows 7 on a Dell laptop.
I would like to print a list of only the album titles I have loaded onto my Ipod Nano.

After you click "Album Listing," you will see a "Theme" pulldown menu that gives you the choice of "Songs by Album" or "List of Albums." Choose the latter. -
I can't see the titles of about 3/4 of my music because a lot of my albums have about 20 characters or more in their titles. The iPod can only seem to display about 15 charactes in its album title list, and when looking at the list the last (and usually *most significant*) part of the title is chopped off and replaced with an ellipsis. Is there (a) a way to reduce the font size on the list screens so that I can see the titles, or (b) make the scroll (like the track title does in the playing area)? Up until now I've had to resort to hours and hours spent renaming tracks and albums to be meaningful short names.
My G4 60G colour iPod now scrolls the album names when scrolling through the album list. Great. My G2 10G didn't - so I guess it's another little reason to upgrade.

For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist. However, if I search the album name, all the songs show. How do I get the songs to show under songs?
Hi Spam_Valley,
I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

Hi,
When I import music into the Zen Micro, it always seems to use the album name.
I deleted all ambum names from the MP3 tags
When exporting mp3 files to the zen I get
Bruce Springsteen
unknown
Born in the USA
Tunnel of love
The ri'ver
How do I get rid of the "unkown" so I get:
Bruce Springsteen
Born in the USA
Tunnel of love
The ri'ver
Hope you can help.....
Thanks
JPMessage Edited by JEPEDEWE on 2-27-2005 0:45 PMOK but can't I export the files form my computer onto the zen without the "album" data.
Now when I choose "Bruce Springsteen" I have to go pass the "unkown" display, click "enter" again before I see all songs from Bruce Springsteen...
All I want is bypassing the "unkown" display....
(strange this can't be done easily...)
Thanks again for your patience

7 good reasons, why artist=album name is not the solution for compilations
Hi,
in this forum everytime the compilations-problem is discussed, somebody comes up with the solution to fill the album-name into the artist name field and to set the song-title name to "Artist / Song-Title". This might help with the cover-flow issue but does have the following downsides:
7 good reasons, why artist=album name is no alternative for compilations
========================================================================
1) It messes up the artist search.
2) Unability to turn the display of artists on compilations on or off on demand without changing all the tags
3) The mp3 tags are not used in the standard way
4) "Artist / Song-Title" as song-title name is often too long to display
5) The album name appears twice in the song information display when the song is playing (as the artist name and as the album name)
6) This is not consistent with how it works in iTunes
7) People owning a lot of compilations are forced to do A LOT of manual changes only to "fix it" back when (hopefully soon) a new firmware fixing this issue arrives
I already posted this as an answer in another thread but I thought it might be helpful to discuss this in an own thread. What do you think about the reasons? Can you add additional reasons?
If Apple really left out the compilations-flag on purpose (see http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5401783#5401783) we might need some good arguments to bring it back in.
Best regards, JensYes, I agree with your list. I also think it is inconceivable that Apple simply forgot to add the compilations feature. There obviously has to be a good reason for this. However, I haven't got a clue what that reason might be.

Large Album Art Display Problem
I accidentally pressed into the option provided by iPod nano that allows you to view the album art in a large size that takes up the screen. In turn, the other information and the length of the song disappeared, only to be replaced by the outline of the album (I didn't insert album art for much of them) How do I change the setting back? So I can view the information of the song again in one screen? (smaller album art, song name, album name, length of the song, etc.)
Thanks. I would really appreciate your help. I realize that this is a very, very minor problem because other people WANT the large album art display image to pop out. But I just can't seem to get it to reverse to the normal display. Thanks again!

Itunes 12 album name too dim to read
I'm having the same problem now with iTunes 12 I have with iTunes on my iPhone. The song title is displayed quite prominently and underneath in "grayed out" fashion" is the artists name and album title. My problem is the grayed out info is too dim to read in well lit areas. For instance outside in the case of the iPhone. Since upgrading to iTunes 12.0.1, the same problem has been transported to my desktop. If I have the curtains open on a sunny day, or a strong light on my desktop area, the grayed out artist name and album name are just too dim to make out.
Am I missing a setting somewhere?Had exact same problem, driving me crazy and then I found solution:
iTunes Preferences: General and make sure that the "Use custom colors for open albums, movies, etc." checkbox is checked.
Give it a few and that will fix it.
