Artists "featuring" other artists

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible in itunes to specify when an artist features another artist. If i write "X ft. Z" in the "artist" gap it gets stored as a whole new file/group and therefore complicates searches. How is this done? thanks
  Windows 2000  

I take the featuring artist out of the Artist field and put it at the end of the song title.
Smooth - Santana Featuring Rob Thomas
becomes
Smooth featuring Rob Thomas - Santana
Also, if it's a Compilation album, tick Compilation and it will be filed under Artist -> Compilation.

  • Hi, dragging jpeg files into i-movie - the selection of jpegs is repeating certain photos and not featuring others, making the entire sequence impossible to view. PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, I have been dragging jpeg files into i-movie all week without issue. Now all of a sudden, the selection of jpegs I'm dragging is repeating certain photos and not featuring others, making the entire sequence impossible to view.
    Please help, this is urgent for a funeral tomorrow! It didnt happen with any of the other family tributes, they all worked fine.
    Many thanks,
    Ruth

    It worked! Thank you! I finally just finished about 20 minutes ago! It took over 26 hours to complete the process you described, but I stuck with it and it worked. I am glad I didn't give up or "forget it" as some might have suggested. That would have set me back until tomorrow!
    Ultimately, it turned out there were 45,910 jpgs created. No wonder it took so many hours to render/display them all. It ended up being about 10 hours before it seemed they were all rendered but the process between them displaying and being able to start really deleting them took a few hours because partly I was asleep and also partly it took forever to do anything. Any action as simple as selecting and right-clicking to Get Info, or emptying the trash, would take 20-30 minutes, a couple times longer. The clock stopped many times for 20-30 minutes at a time, a few times over 30 minutes, before catching back up. My cursor never froze which is what really kept me going, although it was a spinning beach ball for most of the time. I was never so relieved to see my regular cursor as opposed to seeing a spinning beach ball as I was early this morning after about 10 hours!
    Once I was able to open a Finder window and select all 45,900 files (I had already deleted 10 in the previous couple hours during experimenting of trying to figure out what would work best), then right-click and select to move all the files to the trash, the process of moving them to the trash took 4.5 hours. Then deleting them from the trash took a couple minutes. There were 21.4 GB!!! No wonder the whole process took 26 hours!
    mende1, thank you so much!

  • ICloud features other products offer

    Is there an option to have a folder in iCloud Drive I can share with my family similar to what can be done with Dropbox? We keep some family reference documents in a shared folder that we can each update and access from our devices or remotely and it is a very useful Dropbox feature.
    Another Q - I would like to keep my Macbook backed up to the cloud too. I realise Time Machine does not do this and iCloud has not been designed as a primary back-up medium but is there a way to achieve this as it also seems like a useful feature that other cloud storage providers offer.

    No to both questions, sorry.
    iCloud Drive is for syncing all your devices and to keep your documents synced across all your devices. It is not a separate cloud storage.

  • How do I fix my problem with Artist and Sort Artist?

    I have all my songs sorted by Artist and because I have songs that feature other artists I use the sort artist field.
    In itunes it all looks fine but when I sync it with my iPod Nano 5th Gen one of the artists names comes up as the artist for all songs.
    Eg. I have 5 B.o.B songs.The Artist field has B.o.B and the featured artist so it looks like -B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams-. The sort artist field along with album artist and sort album artist field are all only B.o.B.
    My problem is that when I sync them onto my iPod all the songs by B.o.B appear under B.o.B feat. Rivers Cumo when I sort by Artist despite this only being the artist for one and all listed with the same format as above. They all also come up with the Artist as B.o.B feat. River Cumo when I play one of the songs.
    Is there anyway to fix this so on my iPod they all appear under B.o.B when sorting by Artist but when I play the song it gives me the artist name? I'd prefer not to have to put the featured artist in the song title.

    This sometimes happens if your MacBook battery is swollen, and pushes on the underside of the trackpad.
    Some users forgot that an alternate input device, like a tablet, does not shut off when set aside -- it continues to provide input at the same time as the mouse you put your hand on.

  • Multiple artist for one album

    I hope I can explain this properly.  How can I organize my iTunes library so that songs by an artist FEATURING another artist is not listed as a seperate artist. For example, I have a CD by David Sanborn.  There are three songs on that CD where the artist is David Sanborn "featuring" another artist. In the iTunes library, this looks like seperate CDs by David Sanborn, but in actuality it's the same CD. If I want to play that David Sanborn CD on my iPod, it will not play the songs "featuring" other artists because it is organized as a seperate artist (David Sanborn featuring ..."  I like to find and play music by searching for the artist, not by CD title. Is there a way to search by artist, and have the entire CD play without excluding those songs that "feature" other artisits? Thanks.

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist" or check the "compilation" flag.

  • Sorting Artist Problem

    I have this problem about artists featuring other artists sorting problem
    For example, I have 2 Akon songs
    One the artist is Akon
    and the other one's artist is Akon featuring Eminem
    Now I have 2 artists
    ones Akon and the other one is Akon featuring Eminem
    Shouldn't it just be Akon for both of them?

    For albums with an artist and then some songs that are that artist featuring another artist the tracks (for the artist field) looks something like this...
    1. Artist
    2. Artist feat. Bad Rapper
    3. Artist feat. Bad Rapper
    4. Artist
    5. Artist
    6. Artist feat. Lame singer
    7. Artist
    etc.
    which to iTunes will seem like three (3) different albums by "Artist", "Artist feat. Bad Rapper", & "Artist feat. Lame singer"
    If that is the case, the fix is to use the "Album Artist" tag. So select all the songs from that Album at the same time. Do a Get Info on the bunch. In the Album Artist type in the "Artist" name only. Hit OK and now all the tracks will still have slightly different "Artist" fields but the entire album is tagged as just "Artist" and will group together properly.
    Alternatively, if you didn't care who the songs "feat." you could rename all the tracks (by selecting them all and Get Info) so that the Artist filed is just "Artist" and not use the "Album Artist" field at all. But if you like that extra info in the Artist field, that is why the Album Artist field is there, to allow you to group an album together even when the Artist field is different from song to song.
    Note, while this will fix it in iTunes, most of the iPods (not sure about the latest models) do not use or recognize the "Album Artist" tag and so on the iPod, the album will still break up into several different "artist" albums.
    Cheers,
    Patrick

  • Adobe Reader - Windows 8 - Read Out Loud Feature

    I have been trying to access the Read Out Loud feature in the most recent version of Adobe Reader for Windows.  Making it for Windows 8 has lost most of the useful things about Adobe Reader.  Is there a version of Adobe that in in a window with menus and features other than show page, navigate, and save? 
    Currently I have to email PDFs to an email associated with a Macbook that I have access to, and listen to the PDF on the Mac.

    Not so far as I know. Creating a voice for reading is not about
    recording samples, but about creating a kind of robotic voice,
    something which is an enormous amout of highly skilled work. (Though I
    don't work in the area and may have it wrong).

  • I get an 'Invalid Image Type' error when using the Locate Features. (Evaluatio​n version)

    I'm using the Evaluation Version of Vision Builder. I Simulate Acquisition using my own image (jpg), which loads fine. However, when I try to use any of the Inspection Steps features, other than Enhance Images, I get an "Invalid Image Type" error.

    Hello,
    Vision Builder functions usually work with a certain image type. For example, all the functions listed under Binary (in the menubar) will only work with binary images. Likewise, color functions will work for color images and grayscale will work for grayscale images.
    You can convert a color image into a grayscale by extracting a color plane and a grayscale image can be converted to binary using the threshold function.
    Hope this helps!

  • Alternatives to Entourage that have its Multiple Identity feature?

    I access all my mail through Microsoft Entourage. I use this mail client because of it's "Switch Identity" feature, meaning I can have entirely separate inboxes, folder lists, etc for each email address if necessary.
    I'll always want to access email through a dedicated client rather than a web browser, and would only ever change from Entourage to another client if it also had a multiple identity feature.
    Does anyone know of any Mac OS X email clients other than Entourage that have this feature and would run on my machine?
    There's a long list of clients listed here, but it isn't obvious (to me anyway) which if any have a multiple identity feature other than Entourage.
    Many thanks.

    BDAqua - thanks for your reply.
    Just so I'm clear - what I'm talking about isn't multiple accounts, but multiple identities - i.e. an entirely separate list of inboxes, folders, etc for each group of email accounts, with a *different default send address for each identity*, as per Entourage. With Entourage, to change Identity, you effectively have to log out of the program, select a different Identity, and then log back in, in order to switch. This is similar to logging in & out of the Mac OS itself.
    I've hardly ever used Apple's Mail. Given that I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11, my version of Mail is 2.1.3. Assuming that Mail does in fact have a Multiple Identity feature, does 2.1.3 have this feature, or would I have to use a newer version of Mail?
    This question also raises a few similar ones in my mind:
    Is 2.1.3 the latest version of Mail that will run on Tiger?
    What are the latest versions of Mail that will run on Leopard & Snow Leopard?
    Given that my Mac can't run Snow Leopard but can run Leopard, would I have to upgrade to Leopard in order to run a version of Mail that has the Multiple Identity feature?
    If there is a version of Mail that has a Multiple Identity feature and will run on my Mac, how do I access the feature? I've searched the Mail Help, but can only see references to setting up multiple accounts - there's no mention of multiple identities.
    As for Thunderbird - I'd heard the name at some point but had no idea what it was. It looks like it's the Mozilla project's mail client, and as such should be of as high a standard as Firefox. If I'm unable to get Apple's Mail to work in the way I'd like, I may give Thunderbird a try.
    My reason for wanting to switch to something other than Entourage is simply that it's far too big, complex & slow (on my machine at least) for my requirements. It's akin to me driving a Ferrari when all I need is a Ford Fiesta Mark IV (which is actually the car I drive!).
    Many thanks.

  • I purchased CDs and imported them into my iTunes and when the artists has other artists featured on the tracks it separates these tracks into a different album. How can I consolidate these back into one album?

    I have CDs that I've purchased from music stores (ie. Best Buy) and have imported them into my itunes library. The problem is that iTunes has separated all the tracks that feature another artist into a separate album. I want all the songs filed under the same album, so that when I play the whole album, I can hear all the songs. Also when the album work is not showing up on some of these CDs. How can I fix this?

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • How can I download an entire CD with all songs in order.  ITUNES chops up the CD and groups the songs into separate sections.  why??

    The new site is horrible.  I want to download a complete CD with all songs listed in their album order.  Instead, ITUNES creates multiple albums, each containing a few songs.  I want the entire album with all songs grouped together.  When I tried to creat a new album with all of these songs in order the site only lets me list 17 out of the 26 songs.  I am blocked from adding the rest of the songs.  The old site was so easy to use.  I want a list of all albums with the respective songs listed.  I can't get rid of the large album icons which are not helpful.

    Hi,
    Is the CD  a compilation? If so, make sure that all tracks are shown as part of a compilation. Also add "Various Artist" to album artist field.
    If the CD by a individual artist but has tracks that feature other artists, add main artists name to album artist field.

  • Plz Help - Issue with Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000

    Hey everyone..
    Lil story to begin this one. I am a mac user for 2 years, and I love it. I recently got a job doing digital artist/retouching working at a big photo studio in my locale - they use windows xp. After working there for a while, I realized that the mouse control/acceleration on windows is far superior to mac os x (in my opinion, and others as well).
    I went out and bought the Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000 on recomdendation because it uses the mouse drivers from windows (different acceleration curve). It works fine for movement, yet the software that allows me to assign expose features to the wheel button DOES NOT WORK. Nothing will make it work - it only shows the active windows. If I try to assign dashboard to that button and click ok, it doesnt' work. Even after restarting, it still doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?!?!? (i know it's MS, but this should be working right)

    Yes,
    installing the drivers was the first thing I did. Still does not work - I then uninstalled everything - went snooping on the microsoft site and actually found the intellipoint 6.2.1 drivers, installed those, and the mouse wheel button does still not work
    I can't make it use ANY other feature other than 'show all windows"
