Browsing a playlist by album instead of song

When going to a playlist the default in portrait mode is to list the songs in the playlist. When flipping to landscape it shows the album covers, but for ALL playlists. Is there any way to go to a playlist and then browse the albums in that list?
thx
dave

I am having the same issue with my iPod too. (Purchased iPod Touch 32 GB 5-15-08)
Everything is okay when the touch is in Portrait mode. However when I turn it to Landscape mode, instead of showing album covers in the particular playlist the song is from, its shows my entire library.
*Is there a way to only show album covers in the playlist, I'm playing from??*
Also, when in Landscape mode and playing from a playlist, the cover art does not flow, until the iPod is placed in portrait mode.
Thanks is advance for any advice.

  • In iOS 7 is there any way to browse other playlists in order to add songs when making a playlist?

    I have approximately 1000 albums and 14000+ songs available on iTunes Match.  In iOS 6 I could browse other playlists when creating a new playlist.  This was important because when I bought new music I would find it quickly by going to my "purchased" or "recently added" playlist and incorporate it into a playlist.  Now, iOS 7 appears to no longer allow this because the playlist tab is not available to browse when you go to add songs to a playlist. This may seem like a small problem but in reality it is a huge hassle for me and I assume any other users of iTunes Match or people with large music libraries.  I have not made a playlist on my phone or updated an existing playlist since upgrading to iOS 7.  Am I missing some way to add songs from other playlists?

    Above the left side of the preview area it says Advanced mode. Click that and you can use everything in the graphics panel.

  • ITunes opens to "ALBUMS" instead of "SONGS".

    I want iTunes to open to "SONGS" when I open it and sometimes it does but often it opens to "ALBUMS" instead. Is there a setting for this? Thanks.

  • View Playlist by Album NOT by Song

    Hi
    Sorry if this is a stupid question, I've done a lot of searching but can't find the answer.
    On an iPod can I view, for example, my Recently Added playlist by album? At the moment when I go to this playlist I just get a list of songs, albeit sorted in album order - so if I want to listen to a particular album I recently added, I have to remember the name of the first track on that album and scroll down to it.
    This isn't practical, or always possible. Surely the playlist can also by viewed by album? Or will it only list each individual track on every album in the playlist?
    Thanks for any light you can shed...

    I'm trying to keep my wife's music in a somewhat seperate location so she doesn't have to scroll past all of my stuff (which she doesn't like). I thought if I had her albums in a playlist, she could go right to that. Viewing the album menu shows too much that she doesn't need to see.

  • I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives?

    I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives? Specifically the album is Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes and the song is DMT Song (feat. Thundercat). I purchased the entire album and it even played fine the first listen through.

    Hi,
    If you are in a country that permits redownloads, delete track and go to iTunes Store > purchased and redownload. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • HT1660 How do i get all the songs from 1 album to appear as 1 album instead of 3 albums because they feature guest artists

    How do i get all the songs from 1 album to appear as 1 album instead of 3 albums because 2 of the songs feature guest artists in my itunes library?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • Mistakenly bought the album instead of a song off the album with a itunes card.

    my son mistakenly bought an album instead of a song off the album, can you credit his itunes card.

    We are all itunes users just like you.
    We can refund nothing.
    All sales are final.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an axception, but I wouldn't expect it.

  • ITunes on iPhone so many issues: Album Art, Missing songs, Empty playlists, International Account,

    When i got my iPhone 6 all my music on the phone got messed up... and I think it's all iTunes Match fault.  I have an iTunes Match account, but I don't really use it.  My library is so big it's never been able to upload all my songs.
    • On the iPhone 6 I have ITuens Match Turned off
    • I have "Show all music" turned off so  only music downloaded to the device SHOULD be shown.
    • Even though I have the settings above, all my playlists show up on the device... but they are empty.  Making very hard to find the music that is ACTUALLY on the device.
    • None of the items I purchased from the iTunes Store have artwork.
    • I used to live in the UK and have an iTuens account and music from that store.  Those songs play fine on my computer and they always loaded to my phone before, but now NONE of those songs will sync to the phone.  If a playlist contains the internationally purchased songs, it just leaves them out.  GRRRR!
    • Finally... it never finishes syncing.  It just hangs on the last step "waiting for changes to be applied."
    Any teas to fix any of these issues would be appreciated. Thank you! The items in RED are giving me the most frustration, and I'd like solutions to those the most.
    FYI:
    iPhone 6 running iOS 8.0.2
    my home machine is an iMac running latest iTunes and latest OSX.

    Thanks to kirbyfromtrenton, I have tracked down at least a partial fix for this problem:
    1 - Turn off iTunes match in iTunes.
    2 - Turn off iTunes match on the iPhone.
    3 - Close iTunes and reopen.
    4 - Connect your iPhone.
    5 - Go into your music folder for the iPhone and delete all the songs.
    6 - Turn back on iTunes match in iTunes
    7 - Turn back on iTunes match on the iPhone
    All of my music is available once again, although I'm still not seeing my playlists or artwork. That could be because I'm overseas right now with a slow wi-fi connection though.

  • Playlist to Album

    I made a mistake when burning CDs to iTunes and created Playlists for the albums instead of just importing the albums. How can I convert these to actual albums without reburning the CDs?

    when burning CDs to iTunes
    To burn is to create a CD (as in burn with the laser).
    To rip is to get a CD into iTunes.
    How can I convert these to actual albums without reburning the CDs?
    I don't understand.
    Go to menu View -> Show browser.
    No albums show up?
    If they do, you can simply delete the playlist(s).
    If not, selct al teh songs on one album playlist, right click - get info.
    Add the Album name, then you can delete the playlist.

  • How do I get Itunes to properly import a cd without making a different album for each song..

    I try to import my cds, and everytime it features another artist it creates a new album for that song... how do I get it to imort the album and show as just the album name...

    Hi
    All my tracks are MP3.
    In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column.  If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
    If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

  • How to view one playlist by albums?  (Not entire music library)

    Albums are importatnt to me.  I listen to the Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album for instance.  I have no desire to have those songs shuffled etc.  However, I also like the Genius Mixes.  They take songs from my list of singles and intelligently order them like a radio dj would.
    Let's say I put my 5 favorite albums in a playlist called "Favorite Albums:.  I sync this to my Ipod touch.  I can now turn my ipod horizontally and see my albums and easily pick the one I want.
    Now let's unsync that playlist and sync one of my Genius Mix
    Now I can play the Genius Mix and here songs by Singers/Songwriters (for instance) that are intelligently chosen and ordered.  I've tried this on Itunes on my desktop and I like how it works.
    Here's the problem:
    Let's try to sync my "Favortie Albums" playlist AND my Genius Mix
    I now go to my Ipod Touch and find my "Favorite Albums" playlist.  It shows a list of songs.  ( don't see an option for album view anywhere).  Now I turn my Ipod trouch horizontally expecting to see the albums in that playlist.  Instead I see dozens and dozens of albums.  My albums are in there somewhere but my Ipod touch is showing me every song on my Ipod in album view.  The other albums are there because the Genius mix needs thosee songs. 
    At first I thought my Ipod touch was mixing all of my playlists and Genius Mix togethor.  No matter what playlist I opened I saw dozens and dozens of albums from other plalyslists.
    It took me hours on the phone with Itunes to figure out that there was not real problem witht playlists.  The problem is that I was assuming if you are looking at a playlist and turn the ipod horizontally you would see that playlists.
    Ok, so that is the way it operates and I didn't know it.  But.  I can't find any way to view a playlist by albums on my ipod touch. 
    Yes, I can look at artists, songs, albums, playlists.  But looking at albums doesn;t help.  It shows ALL of the albums and in list view.
    The agent was very friendly but had no idea what a Genius Mix was.  I had to carefully explain to him that a Genius mix is not a Genius Playlist etc etc. 
    In the end his suggestion was that I don't use Genius Mixes and only sync the albums I want.  My answer to that is that someone at itunes came up with this Genius Mix thing and the tout how wonderful it is.  It's pretty bad to then say "Why don't you just use shuffle?" 
    Can anyone help me figure out a way to have Genius Mixes on my Ipod Touch and be able to look through my plalist by albums?

    You can burn that playlist as data CD/DVD (backup). Go to the preferences menu and make sure that data CD/DVD is selected. If the playlist is too large you could split it by moving a part of the files to a second playlist.

  • Working with entire albums, not individual songs

    ... is this possible?
    I've installed iTunes 7 before deciding whether to buy an iPOD nano.
    I have a couple of hundred albums, too many to put all of them on a nano.
    I want to be able to select a whole album with one click, so with six clicks I can select six albums for syncronisation with the iPOD. I don't want to have to select each track (possibly 100+ clicks). Can I do this?
    A work around to this might be if the coverflow "mode" displayed only the songs in the selected album, or if a playlist was created for each album automatically, neither of which I can find options for. Am I missing something?
    As it stands at the moment I don't think I would get an iPOD. I want to take a different selection of albums with me every day but that doesn't seem to be what it's designed for...
    I'm sure I can't be the only person that wants to use it like this? Any help gratefully received.

    Well, I'm not sure that's the best way to go about adding songs to your iPod, but you can do it that way. Make a new playlist. It may help to double-click on that new playlist so that the playlist opens in a separate window.
    In the main iTunes window, select the main library and then put iTunes in browser mode (View..Show Browser). Select the albums you want by control-clicking in the list. Drag the selection to a playlist (or playlist window). All the songs for those albums will be added to the playlist.
    Then sync that playlist to your iPod. You can clear that playlist (or make another new playlist) and make new selections if that's what you want to do.

  • How to sort songs by Album artist and song number?

    System: +OS X 10.5 updated to 10.5.2 . iTunes 7.6+
    I have a CD "+Cafe Del Mar - Volume 01+". Added songs to Library. Every track has different Artist. So, I have 12 songs with individual Name and Artist. Then have put value "+Volume 01+" as Album in File Info and Album Artist as "+Cafe Del Mar+". This way songs are automatically grouped together whenever I sort my library by Album or Album Artist.
    Unfortunately in latter case (sorting by Album Artist) iTunes uses Artist field instead of Song Number within the Album to sort tracks. Here are links to screenshots I made to show what we are talking about here:
    Sorting by Album: http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/7783/picture1qj6.jpg
    Sorting by Album Artist: http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/4199/picture2uo9.jpg
    How can I fix it and make iTunes to sort by Track Number within the same album even if I sort things by Album Artist?
    Thanks.

    How to use iTunes 7 new Album Artist field
    Mon, Sep 18 '06 at 7:30AM PDT • Submitted by stevebr
    iTunes 7 thinks of an album by a performer (call the performer XYZ), where one or more tracks are by "XYZ featuring ABC" or "XYZ and ABC," as separate albums. In the past, the only workaround was to set the album as a compilation to avoid this, but this is an incomplete solution, and it had the side effect of the album not being classified or filed properly.
    Enter the "Album Artist" tag in iTunes 7. Set this tag (via Get Info with all all tracks of the album selected) to the main artist's name, and the album will be unified.

  • Album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download.  Submitting is not working

    album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download.  Submitting is not working

    Hello!
    I own a small company and we are having the same problems.
    IE9 is not working with the latest flash update infact the update has messed up flash complety for all sites once installed.  I went to YouTube eariler and it warned that I needed to install to the new Flash Player upon instaling and returning to YouTube it had the same message. This led us to download both the x86 and x64 versions and useing the uninstaller went through each one and tried the updates. None of the downloadable updates from Adobes site works. I have also loaded up Windows XP in a virtual machine and trying IE 8 with the latest updates and it as well does not work and does the same thing upon updateing it just keeps saying to install the latest update allthough it has allready been done!
    Now on the other hand I loaded FireFox and it had the same update and upon restarting the browser after applying the update and it works just fine!
    Im on a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate box and ran the WindowsXP in the VM. FireFox was loaded on the main OS and worked fine after said update.
    Of Course I have allready double checked the running addons in IE 9 and the files within the /system32/ and all the flash files go there (x86 and x64 were differnt named files)
    Im guessing there is something conflicting betwen IE (IE 8 and 9 tested)
    Now this is not just happining on this machine but all of our desktops and laptops no one has any trouble with FireFox working
    Also this will break all flash objects in IE even localy as now no flash works it acts like it is not installed.
    Guess will see how long this takes to get fixed or aknowledged...  lol
