Combine different artists into one album

I just downloaded O Brother, Where Art Tho? into my library. Each song is by a different artist and I want to combine all into one album. Same with Eric Clapton. He did one song with Blind Faith, one with Cream, etc and I want them all under 'The Cream of Eric Clapton' not under each group. How can this be done?

Is this in iTunes?
There is a separate discussion group for iTunes.
In iTunes, select the album and Get Info.
Check the box that says, "Compilation".
The album will show under the artist heading "Compilations".

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location. They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

Make sure they all have the same Album Artist and Album Name.

HT4059 Can I use Consolidate Files to move several different tracks into one Album?

Can I use Consolidate Files to move different tracks into one Album?

No, that's not what the Consolidate command is for. That command for getting all your track files into a single folder. To get all the tracks in an album to appear together, just Get Info on the tracks and make the album name all the same for each track. See:

Combining several songs into one album

I have numerous songs from different artists that I want to combine into one album, so that when I browse using either Cover Flow or Album View, all those songs will be listed under one album. After over two hours of searching on the Internet I found this very useful site:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304389
The problem that I am encountering is the one illustrated under the heading "Albums with various artists." After following all the recommendations, I am still encountering the same problem - each song is listed under a separate album. Anyone have any idea what to do? For the record I have already tried these remedies:
-Selected all the songs and changed the album name so that they all have the exact same album name
-Selected all the songs and changed the album artist name so that they all have the exact same album artist name
-Selected all the songs and set "compilation" to "yes"
-In Preferences, under the General tab I checked "Group compilations when browsing"
Thank you in advance.

The albums will only show up under the same cover in Cover Flow if you are sorting by Album or Album by Artist.

When I import a commercial CD itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the other album by it self. How can I combine them all into one album and why is itunes doing this?

When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created. Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?

I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track. That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty). It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?

Merging Multiple Artists Into One Album

Ok so I donwloaded a CD called Buzz Cuts with alot of great artisits. Now my problem is there are 30 songs and Itunes is showing 30 different albums even though they are all from the same CD. Its messing up because of all the different artists. How can I merge them all into one album called Buzz Cuts. Or is there a way to sort them. Its a pain having 30 extra cds at the top screen. Please help.

All of this can be adjusted by simply right clicking a song and selecting "Get info." Under the info tab, you can customize things like crazy. For instance, you can insert into the "album" field the title of the compilation.

HT1451 I ripped a 2-cd album to iTunes on my PC. It downloaded as 5 separate albums. Is there a way to combine those back into one album?

I ripped a 2-CD album to iTunes on my PC. It downloaded as 5 separate albums. Is there a way to combine those back into the original one album?

Yes there is tho it may get pretty redundant if you have many 2-CD albums as i had once. Using the "control" key select all five albums. Right click the selected albums and select "Get Info". If this is your first time it may ask you if you are sure you want to edit multiple albums. Click "Yes". Fill in / affirm the correctness of the grid in fron of you. Check all of the boxes BUT THE TRACK # BOXES AND ARTWORK . This will tell iTunes that all of the albums are one and the same. click "ok". One album with the correct title should appear. Select all the tracks that were on the second disk and again right click and select get info. enter into the disk # space "2" of "2". If your version of iTunes is up-to-date this will make it a 2 disk album. If you would like you get select "Get Info" again just to make sure all is good.
Hope this helps.

Group Different Albums by the Same Artist under one Album Cover

I've read many posts regarding grouping tracks by different artists into one album, but none dealing with grouping tracks by one artist together from different album titles. An example of this would be classical pieces that are divided into different acts, or more recently, the new Green Day album "21st Century Breakdown," which also divides the album into "acts." Another example of this situation could be a box set by a particular artist, for instance an Eagles box set that contains 3 discs of differing titles (disc one: Eagles, disc two: Desperado, disc three: Live) in which case the three CDs are all essentially part of the same album.
I know the grouping field can be utilized to tag all the CDs within the same set to keep them together; however, I have not been able to use this feature to group albums such as those mentioned above together under one album art in the grid or in the coverflow view. It looks rather silly when there are 3 or 4 of the same album cover in a row in the grid or the coverflow.
The best way I could think to differentiate the different acts on an album or CDs in a set was to group the songs in their own folder and change the title of the album tag to reflect which act (or CD) those particular tracks covered. While this works in the list view to keep the tracks in order, it does not allow me to view the album as a “whole” using the coverflow view. It seems the only way to merge differently tagged tracks is if the ALBUM title is the same even if there are multiple artists. I’ve tried using the grouping, sorting, and “part of a compilation” options with no success. Is there any way to merge these tracks under one album art while retaining the different album names?

Adding slightly to the previous post I would suggest that you give each disc of the set an appropriate disc no., e.g. Discs 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 for Eagles, Desperado & Live respectively in your Eagles Box Set. Record the individual disc titles in the Comments or Grouping field, then change the Album title for all three discs to something appropriate like "Eagles Box Set". The three discs will collapse into one cover and play in sequence. If marking the transition from one disc to another matters you could, for example, simply add the album name in brackets to the first track of each album. You could use curly brackets to distinguish this from other types of track comment. For more organizational tips see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.
The alternative approach for box sets which simply repackage a number of original albums together is to find the original artwork for each album.

Combiining music tracks into one album

I recently recorded a few tracks from a CD album into my iPod Touch and each track shows up on my music screen as a separate album (all showing the same album cover art). How do I combine these tracks into one album/ help!

Welcome to AD!
Usually, they all need to have the same exact tags for Album & Album Artist.
Or maybe the "Part of a Compilation" checkbox is giving problems.
This article has some good examples

When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. For iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On.

Music combining into one album

I have loaded onto my MAC from cd's two albums one by one artist and another by a different artist. The albums are "Greatest Hits" collections and the albums are titled "Greatest Hits". Itunes combined the two albums into one.
How do I get them back to the original albums?

A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing. How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed. How can I combine them to make one album?

First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved. Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue! I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info". However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album. I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library. I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can. Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this. Thanks so much for your patience!

Songs in my Itunes show up as separate folders. How do I combine them into one album?

Songs in my Itunes show up as separate folders. How do I combine them into one album?

Is this one of those CDs where the main artist asks their friend to sing a song with them?
Such as, Slash's new album. Track 1 is "Slash Feat. Ian Astbury", track 2 is "Slash Feat. Ozzy Osbourne" and so on.
To fix this, select all the tracks on that album, right-click > Get Info, and say YES to changing multiple items.
Put "Slash" in the *Album Artist* field (for this example, of course).
Make sure it is the *Album Artist* field, not the plain Artist field.
