Can you change the year of all songs in an album without changing the year of the album?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible to change the year of all the songs within an album while keeping the year of the album. This is particularly relevant in 'Compliation' or 'Best of' albums, where all the years the songs were produced is different o the year the album was produced.
Foe example, The Beatles' best of album '1' was created in 2000, but all of the songs were from 1963-70. In iTunes, the album is listed as being released in the year 2000, which is correct, but all of the songs are listed as being released in 2000, too, which is incorrect. However, when I change all of the individual songs to their correct year in which they were created, the year of the album also changes to that of the first song on that album. In short, either the album year is correct but all the song years are incorrect OR the album year is wrong but all the song years are right.
Does anyone kinow if there is anyway to change this or get around this?
Many thanks!

None at all. If you'd like them to consider it you'll need to use the feedback link I gave above.
A long standing bug bear for some is not being able to correctly sort two albums released in the same year by the same band. Having both copyright date and release date would (if implemented properly) give the option to sort, or filter tracks on either date as required.
iTunes is a database of tracks. Albums don't really exist separately. There are a few collective properties. Year can have a separate value in each track but obviously only one value can (or at least should) be used when sorting as Album by Artist/Year. If you change the album rating of a single track in iTunes (which can be done with a script) iTunes automatically updates all the others to match.

  • Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?

    Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?
    I'm updating an old site where the extensions for the pages were all.htm. This means that when I upload the site index.htm is not being over written by index.html.

    Hi,
    It is not possible to change the extension in Muse at the moment. You can export the site as HTML and change the extensions outside the Muse.

  • How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

    How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?  I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail.  Changing the screen density is not a good option.
    Thanks

    I downloaded Tinkertool.  Found the font section and increased the size of most selections.  The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label.  The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4.  Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either.  I'll keep working.  Restarted all apps after changes as well.

  • Can you change the ruler color of grey to be an actual color?

    So in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, can you change the rulers to be something other then the boring grey. I mean can you change it to actual be a color? If yes, how? If no, Adobe really needs to implement this. I think to have the rulers be in a color would help greatly for visibility.
    Thanks for any help. Thought perhaps there may be an easter egg or trick possibly to do this.

    In my pages the shapes are green with a black line. Yo can change it by clicking on the format bar. See image. You can also change it in the Inspector palette > Graphic tab > Fill
    You could create a document with all the shapes int the right colour and save as a document or template. Then you can use it by "copy and paste" the shapes into a new document

  • Can you change the UseNames to a different field? e.g. FirstName+Lastname rather than displayname?

    Can you change the UseNames to a difference field? e.g. FirstName+Lastname rather than displayname?
    I have the problem that all our display names are lastname, firstname so when you join if your name is Fred Bloggs it will announce "Bloggs, Fred is joining the confernce" I'd rather it say "Fred Bloggs is joining the conference"
    I cannot change the display name used in the AD as lastname, firstname is the corporate standard.

  • Can you adjust the pitch of a track in the middle of a song in Logic Express?

    Can you adjust the pitch of a track in the middle of a song in Logic Express? So have the first  40 bars in C minor and the last 16 in D major for example?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    the question is what you want to achieve by doing so. Obviously, transposing is easy. Split the track into two regions. The first region is original pitch, the second is to be transposed. Select the second region. Enter the desired transposition value in the region inspector. Make sure the checkbox "no transpose" is UNchecked in the track inspector.
    HOWEVER: You cannot "transpose" minor key into major key. This is because the intervals of full steps / half steps is different for minor and major. The 3rd and the 6th step is a half step in minor, while it is a full step in major. Therefor you must adjust the MIDI events in the piano roll editor to change minor to major and vice versa.

  • TS4036 Can you change the iCloud backup date to a previous backup date?

    Can you change the iCloud backup date? My iPhones processor went out and erased all of my information and saved that as my last iCloud backup, is there a way to restore my phone for the day before this happened to get all of my information back?

    Long story short, I had to make a clean install of OS X (mountain lion) when I was outside my country, and if I can't show the guy at the customs back home that I purchased the macpro before making the trip, I'll have to pay taxes for it.
    I could have filled the papers for that but I almost miss the plane and there was a long queue.

  • Can you change the date sort direction in Photos?

    In iPhoto I had my events sorted by date such that the most recent events came first (at the top) and within the events ordered the other way round, i.e. earlier photos at the top of an event. Can you control the sort order of events in the new Photos app to this degree?
    At the moment when I look at the events album that has been imported I can only seem to have the events sorted by name or in date order with the older events at the top.
    NB - Does anyone else think "Photos" is a really dumb name for the app when you consider trying to use any search engine to find information about it?

    when i changed the date forward.... like 20 years forward, it locked and i have to activate it but i cant :S

    Yes, you can update the primary email address on an account (as long as the address that you want to change to isn't currently a primary email address on another account) by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on an iOS device and logging into it

    Turn on iTunes Sound Check, which you can do by going to Edit > Preferences > Playback and checking the box.
    Let us know if that does the trick.  If by any chance it does not, use the 3rd party program iVolume.
