Albums vs. Playlists

I've imported various teaching CDs and created Playlists for them, but I'd really like them to be listed as albums. They don't have cover art and I doubt they can be found on iTunes. Is there a way to list such CDs as albums, or must they always be in Playlists?

You can input the same album name for all of the items that you like.

I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help.

I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help. I know there has to be a way to add and remove whole albums and playlists like on the music tab on the device, so please don't tell me to uncheck/delete everything from my iTunes that I don't want and re-sync. That is not helpful and not the issue. How do I get around it threatening to remove all my apps?

On the MacBook, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Advanced > Disable remote control

If I download a song, album or playlist from iCloud to an iTunes Match enable device, can I delete the download at a later date if I need to free up memory on the device?

I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
any suggestions on how to fix?

Previously downloaded albums and playlists wont play

Previously downloaded albums and playlists wont play. The only music that will play are those listed as "Recently Added". When I attempt to play any other music, I get the error message "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found." I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. Any suggestions?

It is very possible that you have transferred icons only. This is a mistake I know I have made.

Palying albums or playlists

when trying to play album or playlist only plays one song & goes back to list. Any thoughts?

Had already tried the big 5, doesn't do this on all artist but only some. Wondering if they need to be tagged somehow to group together better?
Thanks for answer

Album's playlist in a different order

This is really odd. Have 5gb of music on board - every track is in the same order as they were from the playlists on the Mac - as they were copied over. When I connect up the nano and click on that album, it shows the tracks in the correct order. But when I go to that album on the nano itself, the tracks are in a different order - in fact, their in the order that they appear in the main music library. Why should this be?

Interesting thought. Just to clarify. The playlist shows the correct track order on the ipod when I look at it on iTunes. It also shows the correct track order if I listen to the album from 'playlists' on the ipod. But, the tracks are in a different order if I choose the album from 'artists/albums' instead. The other 99% of my albums are unaffected.

The music app on my iPhone 5 plays the same song over and over again. It will not sequence through an album or playlist. What can I do?

The music app on my iPhone 5 will not sequence through albums or playlists. It plays either the first or selected song over and over again. What can I do?

Turn off repeat.
This is covered in the manual.
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)
Play the song, tap the screen, tap the repeat icon until it is white= off.

Shuffle with Album or playlist problem

Hello i can not seem to shuffle song within an album or playlist?
I set shuffle to song in the settings menu , then i go to the music, artist, album name and select the first song and the shuffle icon is there BUT my nano still plays them in the correct order???

In the settings menu, make sure that shuffle is set to "songs". Then select any playlist, then press play (not select). The songs within that playlist will be shuffled.
Same for albums/artists/genres etc.

ITunes 8 does not automatically advance to next track in album or playlist

iTunes 8 was recently installed for me by the company on my company laptop. This was done automatically by LANDesk. (We call this being LANDesked. I was forced by LANDesk to reboot my computer twice yesterday, but I digress.)
iTunes does not automatically advance to the next track in an album or playlist, either in list view or grid view.
List View: I can play any song in an album by double-clicking it or by selecting the track and pressing the play button. When it gets to the end of that track, it does not automatically advance to playing the next track. Pressing Ctrl-Right stops the current track and does not play the next track. The Next button is active and it, too, stops the current track and does not play the next track.
Grid View: Play Album button appears to be active but does nothing.
Is there some setting I'm missing that was set to do this in iTunes 7 but not in 8?

Thanks. That fixes the problem. I'm an idiot.
I thought the check boxes were for selecting which tracks get synced to my iPod or iPhone. I must have unchecked them all (before the installation of iTunes 8) when I was trying to figure out how to sync a 2nd computer (this one) to my iPhone.
I can't find anything in the iTunes help about this necessary fact for playing your albums and playlists. If you look on the Index tab of the help, neither check nor uncheck are found in the list. If you search for check, you eventually find, amongst all the pages, that you need to have tracks checked in order to burn them to a CD and to import them from a CD, but I find nothing about checking to play tracks. Also, the help is very confusing on the difference between selecting one or more songs and checking the check boxes of one or more song. These seem to be used interchangeably occasionally.

ITunes stops playing in between songs in an album or playlist

Since 'upgrading' to iTunes 7, when I'm playing an album or playlist the music will randomly stop completely after a few tracks.
It stops just at the end of a track and the status bar at the top has the diamond on the right hand side of the bar, indicating 0 seconds left to play.
Once this has happened when I double click on another song to play it, the play button will turn to pause, but nothing will happen. The diamond stays on 0 seconds and no music plays. Nor does it work if I drag the diamond to a later spot in the song.
So far I've been resolving this by reopening iTunes, which seems to be a temporary fix. Is there a way to completely remedy this problem?
thanks

i just downloaded and installed iTunes 7.0.1 (maybe another .0 in there?)and it happened again.
it seems that if youi don't touch anything and just tell it to pause then play it will start up again, but this is still really annoying if i'm doing something else. Can anyone help me?

How did the photos/albums get onto the phone ?
Only photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the phone - either via the trashcan icon at the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it top right in thumbnail view. Albums that you've created directly on the phone can be deleted via the Edit button at the top right of the album selection screen.
Photos/albums that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing

Spotify doesn't play last song of album or playlist

In the desktop Windows app, it's been a common occurance for a few Spotify adds to play after the second to last song on an album or playlist. Then after the adds are done, it doesn't play the last song on the album or playlist and performs as if you're done listening to your selection. It can be annoying to have to manually play a song you wanted to hear because it was the last song and didn't play for some arbitrary reason. Can you please check on this? Thanks!

Hello:
Which Spotify desktop app version, and which Windows version are you currently using that this is happening with?

Moving an album or playlist til a usb-device

Instead of burning an album or playlist I would like to move the songs to a usb-device such as a memory stick.

File do not copy in a specific order. The order is controlled by how you have them displayed. If you display them by file name then that is how they appear to be ordered. of course the file name is not always how you wish to have them play, but controlling that is specific to the device you use. Since you provided absolutely no information as to how you wanted to use this USB device I did not cover that. It may be sufficient to rename the files so they appear in the desired order.
