Albums listed in itunes

I don't know if this has been covered before but just wondering why itunes will always list an artists albums by alphabetical order instead of chronological order. Can this be done becausse i have tried to no avail.

It's there, but it's a little tricky.
* Activate the "Year" display in your iTunes listing (ctrl-j, checkmark next to year, maybe drag the column header to the left so you can see it easier)
* Click the "Year" column header to sort by year.
If you are in a playlist covering a specific artist, then it will now show their albums in chronological order, then in album track order.
If you're in the Library view or a playlist with multiple artists, turn on Browse (ctrl-b) and select an artist. You'll see just that artist's tracks in Chronological order.

Importing box sets of multiple cds under one album listing in iTunes?

I am trying to import a box set of music cds into my PC library and have them under one album listing. Currently, each disc is shown in library with its own album cover listing. I am trying disc 1, disc 2 & disc 3 contents listed under 1 library album.

See One cover for multi-disc album.

How can I print out my album list from ITunes?

When I open up Itunes, I have over 400 albums and I would like to print out just the names of all my albums but I cant seem to figure out how. When I try to export my song list, it gives out way too much like every song on each album and it goes to wordpad and I want MS word. What can I do?

You should have received emailed receipts for each item that you bought from the store. If you haven't got them then all that you can do is take screenshots of your purchase history.

Album listing on itunes

How do I make sure when I look for songs by album all songs in that album are listed.
Eg: Alica Keys 3 songs from 'Songs In A Minor' are under 2 different listings of the same album. 2 songs in one listing and 1 song in the other.
This makes things hard when I add album art etc
??????????????????????

Hello Kiwi Biddybird, and welcome to discussions.
Most likely the album info differs between the songs. Select all of the songs by pressing the command key while you click on each song. go to File > Get Info click yes if a pop up asks you if you want to edit info for multiple selections. You should end up at a Info pop up window where you can re-enter all info such as album name, artist, genre, etc. You can drag any album art into the artwork box here too. Click OK and the songs should consolidate into one album.
If there is a spelling mistake, or an extra space in the album info on individual songs then iTunes treats them as separate albums, the above process eliminates those differences.
Good luck with it

ITunes Store new Album list

Hi all,
I hope this is the correct section...
I remember that some times ago, when I had to search the new album list in iTunes Store, I had a screen divided in 4 sections (1 for each week) with all the new albums / singles... Now I'm not able anymore to find this list... Is there something changed ?!? Now I'm able to see a list of the most recent album...
Thanks
Max

You've fallen over a long-standing and intermittent bug in the Store where it claims to be showing the correct number of items but in fact either isn't showing any or isn't showing all of them, although all the episodes appear when subscribing. There isn't really anything you can do about this yourself as the problem lies with the Store, not your feed. It usually sorts itself out in a few days, but it's worth emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to re-index your podcast as this may speed things up.

Album does not appear in Albums list but is on iPod

Several albums I have loaded onto my iPod do not show up in the Albums list. The strange thing is, is that they are on the iPod because I can search for the tracks and they are available on the iPod.
At first I thought they might be compilation albums, but I checked and they're not. I'm not sure why this is happening.
I have the latest version of iTunes and my Ipod classic has the latest firmware.
Any help would be appreciated

Presumably you do have an album name entered for each of the tracks on these albums? When the track is playing, the song title is on the first line (of the iPod's display), the artist is on line two and the album name is on line three.
Is there anything special about the album names? Names beginning with a number digit will be placed after the letter z. Also, names in the Greek alphabet will be after z but before numbers! (I only happen to know as I have some Greek music on my iPod.) What about asterisks, question marks and so on? Perhaps there is a leading space _in front_ of the title, which might place the album out of alphabetical order.
What happens if you look at the album list in iTunes, in alphabetical order? Do they show up in the correct place?

Make Album List view default for playlists

I have my library broken up with playlists for each artist and I like to view the contents of each playlist in Album List view.
iTunes remembers when you switch to this view, but after upgrading to iTunes 10 all playlists are back to list view, and it's a pain in the *** to switch to album view (especially since they've changed the keyboard shortcut).
Does anyone know a way to set Album List as the default view? Or to switch all playlists to Album view in a group?

Same problem here. I like Artist List view the best. I cannot find a way to set the default view in iTunes 11 and it is making me NUTS!

HT1751 Hi I followed the istructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC, can see albums listed in Library, but SYNCH does not put any music on iPod. It took me three weeks to import my CDs into iTunes and i DON'T want to do it again! Can anyone help ?

Hi I followed instructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC. I can see albums listed in the library but SYNCH will not put any music on my new iPod.
It took three weeks to import my CDs on the old PC and I don't want to do it again!
Can anyone help ?

Take a look here; it should help:
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
Regards.

Is it possible in iTunes 11 to get the old album list view, with covers and track listings like in 10?

Is it possible in iTunes 11 to get the old album list view, with covers and track listings like in 10?
If not, then to me that is a huge retrograde step

No, the old album list view is not an option in iTunes 11...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

How do I get back album list view in iTunes 11?

I want it to look like this
http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2010/09/new-album-list-view-option-in- itunes-10.html
But I can't seem to find a way now

This is what I want it to look like in EvilGnome's post. Is there a way?
Ignatia: Putting it on Songs tab then clicking on "Album" doesnt work as theres no resulting window that appears with album art and tracks after clicking on the Songs tab....its just a long list of track titles.
Basically i want the songs in text format but seperated by the album art to the left. like in EvilGnome's picture - not just a long list making it hard to figure out. Why Apple would even remove this option god knows....
Don't fix something that ain't broke.
Currently it looks like this using the songs tab in iTunes 11....no album art anymore
I want it to look like the pic below (pic from evilgnome's post and how i was using itunes previously):

Album list for iPhone in iTunes is missing albums from iTunes library

There are albums which appear in my iTunes library but do not appear in the album list for my iPhone while it is connected to iTunes. The albums were recently added by being imported from a CD.
In iTunes, I click on my iPhone to open the menus and options related to syncing the iPhone. Then, I click the tab for music. There are four large boxes: Playlists, Artists, Genres, and Albums. The albums for the CD that I recently imported is not listed in that box. I cannot check the box to have it added to my iPhone.
To circumvent this, I went to my iTunes library, selected the albums, and dragged them over to my iPhone.
While the problem is solved, I don't understand why the album was not listed where it was "supposed" to be.
Thanks,

Hi,
Sorry to learn your music lost, but let me be suspicious here; iTunes does not delete music by itself.
Given say that, you have lost music. First thing to verify is does your music is deleted from the iTunes Music Folder or is it just removed from the iTunes library.
You should do some search on your hardisk to see if you can actually found the music files. Depending of your iTunes setup, these files could be store at different location. Usually, they should be found in /User/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Artist Names. But your could use spotlight to do some research; tell us you could find on your disk any of your lost music!
Beside, there is also a feature in iTunes 7 that let you backup your music to disc if you have a DVD burner, it will take you a few minutes.

Album purchased in iTunes does not stay listed in iTunes

I recently purchased and downloaded an entire album from the iTunes store. Every time I start iTunes, I find that the album is not listed, so I use the "Add folder to iTunes" option because the album does exist in the "My Music" folder. The next time I start iTunes it's not there anymore and I go through the same process to add it back to iTunes. Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

iPod sort order is Album by Artist irrespective of choices made in iTunes. You can create separate playlists with your selected ordering, but the Cover Flow & Artist menus will always sort albums alphabetically. However, since both Cover Flow and the Artist>Album menus only allow you to play one album at a time it's not necessarily going to make as much difference as you might suppose.

Album list order in iTunes

Awhile ago (circa 2007) there was an upgrade to iTunes that reordered the "Album" list from numeric/alpha listing to a alpha/numeric list. For examples, albums used to be listed starting with those titles with numbers - "1", "5150", "90125", etc. - and now those albums appear at the end of the list. What is the reason why Apple changed this file order in the listing?

Who knows. I guess someone, JOBS perhaps, liked his listings a different way and so they changed it.

Ipod touch question. Any way to keep my ipod from populating my album list with stuff I bought on itunes even if I don't manually put them on my ipod.

I have my ipod set to sync manually and even when I completely reboot my ipod it always puts on my albums list 20 or so albums I bought on itunes years ago that I don't want on there. It doesn't download them so they won't play unless I click to download them but it's annoying scrolling through your music and having stuff on there you don't listen to and can't get rid of.

Like I said I have my ipod set to sync manually and even with that setting it is still showing some "itunes purchased" albums on my ipod album list. They are not synced though because when you go to play them it shows them as not downloaded.
