Album Only Tracks

Is there any way to get an album only track for an album if I've purchased all songs from that album at different times from itunes? I'm specifically asking in reference to the Deftones' album "Saturday Night Wrist" for the bonus track "Drive". I originally bought one track when it came out as a single ("Hole in the Earth") and then bought the rest of the album at a later date individually. So now I'm missing out on the bonus track even though I've paid the dues . . .

From what I've found they don't have DRM, but just the wrong file extension. Rename them to .m4a and they should work (if you're seeing the same issue I am, which it sounds like you are). Re-encoding from losssy to lossy is not a good idea as the tracks won't sound very good (AAC to MP3 conversion is a lossy to lossy conversion).

how do i get tracks back that i deleted that are album only tracks, i downloaded it and it would not play now i cant re download it please help

About a minute and a half into some tracks it skips to the next. Not on all the tracks but on most of them.
Try again, just redownloading the tracks which are skipping. (The servers for the Store seem to have been a bit extra-cranky with this over the past day or so in particular ... some folks have had to try redownloading again a couple of times.)

HT1711 I bought an album and the "album only" is malfunctioning. Is it possible to just get that track fixed?

I bought the Mutemath Armistice (Live) album and the only song that messed up, is Burden, which is an album only track. I was wondering if there was some way to fix the track so I can be a happy customer. Thanks.

If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...

TS1389 Re-Downloading Album Only Songs

I had trouble playing certain songs I downloaded when I downloaded a complete album because iTunes repeatedly said that my computer was not authorized. So, I redownloaded all the tracks that wouldn't play for free but am unable to for the album only tracks. Is there a way to do this?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not redownloading. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Album Only songs when using song credits

I received as a gift a 50 song credit to the iTunes store. I would like to be able to buy complete albums with this credit, including the "album only" songs. When I try to buy albums, it says that my song credits do not apply to album purchases, and when I then buy each song from an album individually, I can't buy the rest of the "album only" songs.
Is there a solution to this problem? If I buy 10 individual songs off an album, can I use "complete my album" to get the rest of the "album only" songs? It would not seem to make sense for this to not work. Especially since I have, in effect, spent more on 12 individual songs from an album than I would have on the $10 cost of the entire album on the first place. It seems like I should therefore be entitled to the complete album.

Sorry but no, there's no solution when there are "album only" tracks other than to pay cash. Song credits can indeed only be used for individual tracks; they cannot be applied to album purchases.

Song purchasing issue: Album only songs

Hi, hopefully somebody can shed some light on this problem i'm having. I have a CD of 'Hit The Lights - This is a stick up... don't make it murder' and it doesn't include track 14 'Stick Up' which is on the itunes store. I want to purchase this song but i can't because it is an 'album only' song. Does this mean that if i want this song, i have to by the whole album even though i already have the CD? Because that is kind of annoying!
Much appreciated if anybody can help me, thanks.

Yes, you would have to buy the whole album. And despite what the other poster said, it isn't an enticement to past customers. And it isn't something controlled by Apple. These types of decisions are made by the record companies.
They may not want a popular, or extra long song to be sold for only $0.99. They try to entice the buyer to purchase the whole album (if it was a CD, you'd have to buy the whole thing). However, in the case of popular songs, you might see it go on sale by itself once after it is no longer a top song. If it's a long song (something you see in the classical music a lot), it may never be sold except as part of an album only track.

Complete My Album + Album Only

Lets say I buy a few songs on different occassions and then choose to "Complete My Album".
Will I get the "Album Only" tracks as well?

Well I just wanted to check. To be certain. I dont wanna miss out on any goodies.
Thanks for a fast answer. Just like to get it confirmed so that I'm certain that its the case.

After seeing the production of Matilda in London I purchased the whole sound track and it did not completely load. I've never had this problem before so I just forgot about it. Today I am downloading an album only to find out it's missing the voacals. Do I have to start just settling for these kinds things. I'm feeling taken.

TS1424 Who do I contact in regards to a faulty album download? Specifically, a duplicate track and a missing one that is available as "album only"

Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to try 'redownloading' it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

They'll probably need to know the exact track names. You can right-click on tracks in ITS, "Copy iTunes store URL", and paste them into your message.

From Cover Flow repeat / play album only?

Is there a way to have iTunes play/repeat just an album when selected via Cover Flow?
(It's probably just me not seeing the option.)
When one selects an album via 'Grid View -> Albums' only that album and its songs get selected. That's exactly what I'd like to have when selecting the album via Cover Flow.
However if that an album is selected via Cover Flow, this album and all songs following are listed.
Playing the album ends up playing everything... Yet I'd only like to repeat-play that album.
Checking/Unchecking all songs individually (even via shift-cmd) to select just the album songs for play is not my idea of a good solution.

There are two ways I know, but one is clunky and the other could be very time-consuming to set up.
1) Make sure all the tracks in your library are unchecked. Then, check only the tracks in the album you want to play. You can use Uncheck All to do the first part, and then select the album tracks, right-click on one of them and click Check Selected. Or you can click the checkmarks on individually. Then, if you select the first album track and click Play iTunes will play through all the tracks that are checked and then stop. I haven't tried doing this with repeat, but it should repeatedly play the album tracks in sequence.
2) You could build a playlist for every album you want to play through. Then, to play the album play the playlist.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not provide a "play album" control. Perhaps Apple sees playing albums through in this manner like CDs or (worse) vinyl LPs as hopelessly 20th Century and something to be discouraged?

Cannot download Album Only Songs

Hi, can you help. I paid to download an album but now when I try to individually download songs I cannot download ones that are album only songs. What should I do?

I've just purchaces an album and having the same problem. Emailed support but received no reply. My previous album I managed to download with no problem, however if I try and download a track from this same album I now get the above error.

ITunes store and the "Album Only" stuff

Come on iTunes. Why do you have these ridiculous "album only" offerings.
THE WHOLE point of iTunes is to be able to pick one song from an album if that is all you want. Why should I be forced to buy a whole album for ONE song?
Who do I complain to??

You do not waste your time complaining to anyone. You check out other online music download stores. I have on occasion found that tracks sold as "Album Only" at the iTunes Store are available as individual tracks at Amazon.com. You might get lucky.

What's up with "album-only" songs in the iStore???

Just out of curiosity and general frustration--whats the reason behind some songs only being available in the iTunes store when you buy the whole album? Is it some kind of copyright thing?

I've noticed that a lot of tracks over about 7 minutes show up as 'album only' - other than that I guess it is indeed some sort of copyright/label restriction.
Shame, as in the early days of online music I managed to get the whole of Tubular Bells from a Microsoft-based store for 99p per 'side' - I imagine it's this issue they're trying to address.
