CD imported to wrong folder organization Album/Artist instead of Artist/Alb
I imported (ripped) a CD and the folder convention iTunes created in my music library was like this:
AlbumName/ArtistName
instead of
ArtistName/AlbumName
How could this happen. I have ripped hundreds of CD's and this is the first time it has happened. I am letting iTuned organize my files.
Any clues?
Thanks!
Actually I know exactlty what bae77345 is referring to, because I am running into the same problem. Thus my search in the forums.
Usually Ive had no problem in importing a song into iTunes, and changing the song IN iTunes to read as follows.
Name of Song: DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`
Artist: Anime
Album : Eureka seveN OST 1
Album artist: FLOW
And the Windown path would look like this
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Anime\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Notice It goes Artist>Album>Song Title
Album Artist would not even be part of the path, which is exactly what I want.
but now it shows
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\FLOW\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Which goes AlbumArtist>Album>Song Title. it doesn't even include the artist as part of the path. How annoying.
It makes a HUGE difference to me because I need everything in "iTunes Music" library in windows to be pathed as Artist>Album: Song Title. I use a different MP3 Player so, it's almost impossible to have half one way (those that have albumartist) and half another (those that don't) BTW, Sorry apple. . .no Offense. I've had and loved an iPod. . . but it died and I got this as a gift.
I never changed any settings, and quite honestly it's been about a month since I had to update my MP3 player music (thus noticing the problem). So, there HAS to be a reason for it to change. And more importantly, a way to change it back.

For example, I am putting Kanye West's album "808's & Heartbreak" on my ipod. The track "Amazing" features Young Jeezy. So in iTunes, I list the track name as "Amazing", the artist as "Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy", the album artist as "Kanye West", and the album as "808's & Heartbreak". What I want is for my iPod to have a list of album artists instead of artists, so that I can find the song "Amazing" under "Kanye West" instead of "Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy" or "808's & Heartbreak".
And when the song plays, it should say:
Amazing
Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy
808's & Heartbreak
Is there a way I can do that? I tried using the "album artist" field thinking it would do what I wanted to do, but it didnt. I also tried using the "sort artist" field and typed "Kanye West" in there, but that didnt work either. I wish iTunes was simpler and easier or atleast CAME WITH A MANUAL. Any help would be greatly appreciated THanksHave you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones? You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack. Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage. You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

Remote app shows 'album artist' instead of 'artist'...
for a normal cd, i have stored the 'artist' name in the 'artist' field and also in the 'album-artist' field.
for a compilation cd, i have stored the 'artist' of a song in the 'artist field'. the 'album-artist' field contains the information 'various artists'.
having done this, remote app 3 shows
the 'album artist' field in the normal list of songs, this means i see 'various artists' instead of the name of the artist (see 1)
in the 'next up' list the information for the same song is shown correctly (see 2)
it seems to me that there is something wrong.
or i misunderstand the meaning of the 'artist album' field.
i do hope, somebody can explain it to me, or apple sees the error and fixes it.
greez.i found the solution in the german macuser forum.
obviously i had tagged my mp3 not to the recommended standard.
if you have a compilation, the albumartist field MUST be blank, instead you can mark it as a compilation.
this solved my problem. -
I have been importing to folders on drive I. It is now full. I am trying to import to drive H which has plenty of room. Every time I try to import to H LR tells me that drive I is full, which of course I already bloody well know. So I am unable to import at this point because LR only wants to go to my full folder. Help please. I do have full permissions on the I drive
The message in the screenshot says your catalog drive is out of space, not your import-photos-to-drive is out of space. How big is your catalog?
I’ve had LR complain about my catalog drive being out of space during a backup operation when the problem was my boot drive which contains my Users folder that LR temporarily puts a copy of my catalog when it is checking for integrity. Even though this drive is never referred to in the error message. I was unable to make backups until I cleared about 2.5 times the size of my catalog’s space from my boot drive, even though my catalog and backups are on my P drive and C was never referred to in any error message.
The one strange thing in the message is that it says you need at least 20MB free, which you have 7GB free.
The “forever bug” referred to is where the number of bits being used to represent free space can be too small and so only the remainder after dividing by 2GB is what is seen. For 7.2 GB this remainder would be 1.2GB. If this bug is in effect and LR thinks you only have 1.2GB free on whatever drive it is checking so maybe your catalog is large enough that catalog-size times whatever multiplier of your catalog size LR thinks it needs in reserve is larger than 1.2GB. -
Photos imported into wrong folder
When running an import and setting destination to import into subfolder organised by date (2011/2011-04-29) the ophotos taken late in the day do not go into the correct folder, they import into the next days folder. It appears the calculation used for the import does not take into acct regional settings.
Using lightroom 3.4 (also seen with 3.2 and 3.3)
Any ideas other than manually sorting all photos?
I notice that the Canon import software correctly sorts the photos, just have to use that then synchronise in lightroom, not good but at least till adobe fix the bug it will have to do.Can you find out exactly how many hours difference there is ?
Do you have some AM/PM problem?
Are you shure your computer is in the right time-zone?

HT1382 how do I organize iTunes in Album folders, rather than artist/album.
The way iTunes organizes my music is not very organized for me. I would like to organize all songs from an album into a single folder, rather than having the album folders present with artists folder. Is there any way I can change the way iTunes organizes the songs in my media library?
I tried to see if I can export a playlilst that is organized by Albums rathre than artists, but there seems to be no options.iTunes has exactly one way to organize, and that is by artist/album.
If that is not what you prefer, then go into Preferences > Advanced, and make sure that "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both not checked. Then, for any new songs you plan to add to iTunes, put them in whatever folder you want them to be, and iTunes will be reference their current location, and will not move or change anything.
BTW, changing those settings will give you the correct handling of new additions, but will not change anything that is already in the library. Also, it does not affect any future items purchased from the iTunes Store. -
Importing CD / adding folder goes to wrong folder
iTunes 9.0.1.8
Under preferences my iTunes media folder is set to "C:\iTunes" and up until recently all imported CD's and files went into that folder under the relevant artist name.
Now, however, when importing they go to a new folder called "C:\iTunes\Music" - I didn't create this folder - how do i stop this and get it back to my original preference?
Any help appreciated
Regards
IanSame problem, installed latest iTunes yesterday to Vista.
Import folder is defined as default iTunes-folder (C:\<user>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library) but it still creates a folder "Music" under this and then <artist>\<record> under this one. If I modify the default folder, it creates the import under that one, but not ever into correct iTunes Library-folder.
What gives? -
Lightroom imports photos to wrong folder
I've been importing lots of photos from my hard drive into lightroom and been moving/renaming them in the process. I only got lightroom a few weeks ago.
This has worked fine but i've recently imported a few hundred photos off my iphone and doing the same thing - move and rename. The trouble is, these photos keep going into the 2009 folder, instead of the 2012 or 2013 folders that they should be. When i look at the photos, they have the correct name, and the capture date seems to be correct, its just lightroom keeps wanting to put them in the wrong folder by year. Does anyone understand why this might be happening?
naturally I want all my photos sorted into the right date folders as this is the way ive decided to organise my photos...hmm so still not making sense. it keeps wanting to import my photos into the wrong destination. have removed all the photo from lightroom. how do i change it so it automatically puts the photos into the corresponding year/month they were taken..
I understand its something in the import settings/destination but cant seem to change this. not sure what parts of the import box your wanting to see Dj.
the structure now is my pictures/2009/21-7-09 then its creating new year folders and sorting them within this 21-7-9 folder..
can't see to change this? -
When importing songs of a same album but different artist iTunes will separate the artists. How can I bring all together in the same album?
Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

I am using PS Elements 13 with Apple Yosemite. When I open the Organizer, import and select folder, it locks up.
I Did what you said. But when I click on Folders and try to open a sub folder it still locks up. All of the media I have opened is not divided into folder. Is there any way to remove all of them and start over? I have been using Bridge with PSE13 and it work great. With Organizer I get missing files. My organizer PSE12 works ok on my laptop.

Did you buy the Editor only version? Here's the product comparison - Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 - Buying guide.

When I import cds to itunes, the albums do not contain all songs. If there is a duet, each duet is listed as a separate album.
As an example," Genius Loves Company" or "Tuskegee" each are listed as many albums---each album has a separate song.
I spoke to Apple Help and they were of some help, but did not answer the question.Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library. -
ITunes Music Folder Organization Inproperly
After I imported music of the album "Wings Of Song", by James Galway, from my removable hard disk to "iTunes Music Folder" and had iTunes organized it, I discovered something that's a little bit wierd. All the music I just imported is put under the folder Compilation\Wings of Song. This means that when iTunes organizing the music folder, it unexpectedly "thought" all these music are by the artist Compilation. What is the reason? Could anyone tell me why? Thank you!
The Compilation directory is how iTunes organizes albums that Gracenote (CDDB) considers works of various artists or collections of songs from the same artist, but differing albums (like "Best Of's" or "Greatest Hits").
The CDDB is not always consistent, as some Greatest Hits are marked as compilations and others are not. This really irked me in the beginning as I was wondering why some of my albums went missing. At first I tried to manually reorganize and move the files, but it was cumbersome. I stumbled on the "Compilations" function and it made things much easier.
For instance, if you have a Greatest Hits album of U2 sitting in the Compilations directory and would rather have it under the U2 directory (where I feel it better belongs), you would perform the process outlined below and the album and songs would move to its "improved" location.
That's why you have folders in your Compilations directory. Some you may wish to keep there, some you may want to move to a more appropriate place. This is how. Try moving some of them to their Artist's folder (if you have any that would qualify).
First check your Preferences:
-- Advanced/General: Keep iTunes Music folder organized (on)
-- Advanced/General: Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library (off) - change it back to 'on' after the song switch, if you want
To move an Album from the Compilations folder after it was imported from a CD (or otherwheres):
-- Highlight the collection of songs on that CD within the main Library
-- Right-click, 'Get Info'
-- Remove the 'Part of Compilation' check-mark - turn it to 'no'
-- Click 'OK'
iTunes will reorganize your PC folder structure, moving the songs from the Compilation folder to their Artist folder.
To defeat a Compilation designation prior to ripping the tracks from a CD, go to 'Get Info' on the CD and make sure that the 'Part of Compilation' box is not checked. This will keep the album under its designated Artist folder.
This is how I keep my music organized. I only want 'true' compilations under the Compilations folder, not some of the Artist's 'Greatest Hits'. You may have other desires. -
Itunes 7.2 folder organization messed up
After installing itunes 7.2 for windows, I noticed that my songs are being sorted not by Artist\Album, but by Album Artist\Album. Why is this? I never had this problem before.
example.
Song: Hora Staccato
Artist: Heifetz
Album: 1936 Recordings
Album Artist: Emmanuel Bay
This should always be stored as \itunes music\Heifetz\1936 Recordings.
But now, with itunes 7.2 it is stored as itunes music\Emmanuel Bay\1936 Recordings\
This is really counterintuitive. It should organize as it used to, by Main Artist, not Album artist. My folders are all messed up now.
Anyway to fix this? Or is this the way itunes 7.2 is just going to be? The last release of itunes also had problems with folder organization.Actually I know exactlty what stradvcl is referring to, because I am running into the same problem. Thus my search in the forums.

"it's just new" is not going to cut it. iTunes is special for its efficiency for sorting music and organizing it. There has to either be an option, or a fix. Anybody know what it is?
