Albums separate songs

When I take albums into ipad they show a sperate songs for complation albums where artists are different - how can i display all songs in the album grouped by album

This is a situation that bothers me too. I cannot find an options tab on iPad music or settings nor can I find it on PC. I think I have seen compilations before but I can't find It now. Can you help...thanks
The only way I can seem to get around this is to make a playlist but that is not always convenient either.

Is there a way of "merging" songs in iTunes. Several times, I have downloaded from the Internet, or recorded from CDs, then found the tracks broken up to appear as separate "Albums". I have a 5-movement symphony, which appears as 5 separate songs?

Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

When I download a cd it loads as separate songs and not a single album

When I download one particular CD to I Tunes on my Mac Book Pro it loads as separate songs and not a single a single album.

You may need to add the artwork manually. Google can help you find good quality album covers.
Are these compilation albums with multiple artists? If so and you have entered individual artists in the Artist field the albums will show up in the iTunes Browser as you describe. To fix it set the Album Artist to "Various Artists" (without the quotes) and this album should display properly; or, highlight the full album, do a Get Info and click the Options tab and make "part of a compilation" YES.

Hello pjmelli921,
You have to locate the album in itunes. Highlight each track, hold the ctrl button and left click each one.
Do a right-click on the highlighted blue, select get info, say yes to editing multiple tracks.
Hit the options tab, change "part of a compliation" to yes, select ok on the bottom right.
Resync ipod. This should fix it on your ipod after the resync.
Hope this helps.

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs. In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show. Is there any way to fix this? This is something I

I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

Cover flow albums show songs from multiple albums

I love my iPod classic. the only issue I'm having is that when reviewing some albums via the coverflow feature, about 5 albums shows songs from multiple albums. they play correctly. It appears just the listing is messed up. I've tried deleting, adding the albums back to the library and resyncing, but it's still happening. Anybody seen this?

Try *One cover, too many tracks* below:
*HowTo: Grouping Tracks Into Albums*
Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your iTunes library.
*Use an album friendly view*
iTunes will let you sort music on many columns, some of which are unlikely to group albums together or put the tracks in their normal order. The most useful order for editing the library is probably *Album by Artist*. If you're not already there, select the list view and click on the column heading for Artist until it reads Album by Artist.
*One cover, too many tracks*
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover or append different numbers of spaces for each different album. Somewhat oddly, setting different values for Sort Album doesn't work.
*Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist*
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
*One album, too many covers*
For true compilations, where each track is by a different artist, the answer is to set the compilation flag to true and enable the iTunes preference to *Group compilations when browsing*. If the album is not a compilation however, any tracks which list guest artists may be treated as separate items. Filling in the Album Artist field is enough to link things in iTunes. Sadly, however, the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums so this is only a partial solution. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate that this is information about the track as distinct from the song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
*One album, still too many covers*
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
*Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!*
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading articles (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
*One cover for multi-disc album*
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track (so that no two tracks ever have the same number) until I reach disc 1. BTW You can still give the individual discs different artwork should it be relevant so that the correct artwork will be displayed as the album progresses.
*One artist, many names*
With some artists, particularly classical composers, you should be aware of alternative representations of their names. E.g. 2Pac vs. Tupac. The menus will work best if for each artist you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. For classical music I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.

"Album Only" songs included?

I don't regularly buy entire albums, so I'm double checking before I purchase an album containing "Album Only" songs. These are included when I buy the entire album on iTunes, right?
Making sure "Album Only" doesn't mean iTunes doesn't have rights to sell them and they're only available on the album in a store.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

'Album only' songs are included. It just means you can't buy them separate.
That usually occurs with songs that have a long play time.
Hope this helps.

HT4915 When i did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs. I have gone into my library and deleted the duplicates, but they still show up on my iphone as duplicates. What can i do to get rid of them?

When I did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs in my library. I have gone back into my library from my computer, and deleted the duplicates. When I did so, itunes did not ask me if I wanted to delete them from the cloud. They are still showing up on my iphone as duplicates in the cloud. What can I do to get them from showing up in my iphone?

They are not on the iphone in the first place. It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone. If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

Why does iTunes transfer my entire library of music every time I transfer one album or song to my iPhone?

I've lately been having this issue with my iPhone. When I go to transfer a newly purchased album or song from my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro to my iPhone 5 my ENTIRE LIBRARY is transferred to my iPhone. I have it checked so I can manually manage my music and videos in the settings in iTunes when I plug in my iPhone but it still transfers everything. It's really frustrating and I would like for it to not do that. My iPhone doesn't have enough memory to save all 3,000 songs on my phone unless if I had no apps or texts or emails or anything. Is there anyway to get this to stop happening? I've read that if you uncheck all the songs you don't want it won't transfer them but is that the only solution? Its really frustrating having to redelete all the music I don't want off my phone every time it does this.

Go to the music tab, select sync music, select the music to sync and sync.
Have a look at the manual:

How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?

How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.

The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.

I reinstalled Itunes on my computer and it did not put all of my albums and songs on my library

I reinstalled I Tunes and it only put 3 albums of my many albums and songs in my library, can someone help please?

There are only the same 3 albums in the previous I tunes folder that are in the i tunes library, nothing else to copy and paste, everything else does not show up,
Your media should normally be in <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media\<Etc.> not <User's Music>\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries.
Was your library working properly on this computer before you reinstalled iTunes, or is there something you've left out of the picture?

Is there a way in iTunes to "stich" or combine songs? Example Journey's Anytime and Feeling That Way are always played together. Is there a way to combine them so they are not separate songs?

Is there a way in iTunes to "stich" or combine songs? Example Journey's Anytime and Feeling That Way are always played together on the radio. Or ZZ Tops Waitin' For the Bus and Jesus Just left Chicago are always played together. Is there a way to combine them so they are not separate songs?

Not in iTunes.
Are these ripped from a CD?
See hhgttg27s post here

If not, you will need to use another application to combine them such as this script...

I just installed iOS5 on my Ipod Touch and there is a gray bubble when I try to choose an album or song, how do I get by this to make my choice?

I just installed iOS5 on my Ipod Touch and there is a gray bubble when I try to choose an album or song, how do I get by this to make my choice or how do I use the bubble?

Thanks, Stedman, that is helpful (I seem to be able to get past the "bubble" somewhat) but it is still there....I have, in the past, stroked across the music of choice and that was it...now the "bubble" with the choice name comes up and if I go all the way across I get a delete choice? Can you help with this also or where would I go to research changes (I see there are 200!!!) in this upgrade?
