Complicated Album Problem!!!

Hi there,I has=ve some albums that have more than one cd which is common especially those collection album but normally those cd is stated XXXX[cd1]or XXXX[cd2] my question is my album the cd they both have their own name eg in same album 1st cd is XXXX[my story] and the 2nd cd is XXXX[your song] when u import them to ur itune it wil become two album....using comlilation is useless as the album name is differnt but they actually is ONE album.

Hi
You can try to select all Music files and amend the album name using "get info" to the album name you want, and if all the album name is the same, Itune will treat it as 1 album
Hope the above helps!
=)
Cheers

  • Compilation album problem at iOS 7!!!  [HELP]

    (Sorry for inappropriate English, i'm not Native Speaker.)
    So i used to edit some albums within various artists as compilation albums when i used iOS 6 numbering versions.
    It was all good, the albums was all sorted and i could find which artists are participated, if i press A artist, the Music App showed me A's several songs in
    compilation album A artist participated.
    after i used iOS 7, when i press A artist, the Music App does not show me only A's songs, but all of songs in compilation album A artist participated,
    It making me seriously annoying, because, after iOS 7, The Music App doesn't show me what artists has made the song in the pannel of what songs in some Compilation album.
    As you see, the image shows you guys Songs pannel though, when i see inside of some Compilation album, i
    can see what artists has made the songs But IT WAS iOS 6
    I couldn't find any fitting image so i captured my iPhone, anyway, as you see, the image shows you guys inside of some Compilation album,
    and none of those songs shows me what artists has made!! How Could i find it when i want to what artists has made what songs?
    The Problem is not just it, sometimes, no, often when i Press A artist who participated, the Music App shows me only A's song at Compliation album,
    and then i press the Compliation album, still only A's song remain, but all of other artist's songs are gone!! and these songs can be search -.-
    all those problems were not exist when i used iOS 6, after i use iOS 7, technically when i changed the phone to 5s from 4, all those Copilation album problems came up, I need some help desperately!
    (Sorry for inappropriate English agian.)

    Thanks for all your help ...
    The playlist option is viable, but it doesn't show up on the "browse section" and it wouldn't appear as an album ...
    And copying songs again to another location is simply wasting space.
    Is there any other way ?
    What about creating a symbolic link ? Would that help ?

  • The "Cover Flow" / "Album Artist" duplicate albums problem on the iPod

    Hi Guys,
    I've made some research about this issue and got to some interesting conclusions.
    DISCLAIMER:
    1. I searched the web and found people describing this problem since 2006 till 2009 and the solution always revolved around not using the "Artist" and the "Album Artist" tags like they should be used.
    2. I did a lot of testing, including re-writing the ID3 tags in different versions and formats to rule out any issues around the tags themselves.
    3. If the stuff I'm going to describe is already well known than sorry about that, I just couldn't find it anywhere.
    PROBLEM:
    An album that has a single Album Artist and different Artists appears several times in the iPod Cover Flow although it looks just fine in iTunes.
    Tagging the tracks as "Part of a Compilation" only partially solves the issue since the album will appear in the iPod Cover Flow as a Compilation showing up in the end and not together with the "Album Artist" like in iTunes and like it should.
    It seems to be a simple issue around the way the iPod uses the "Album Artist" tag but it also seems to be around forever and it's strange Apple hasn't looked into it.
    RESEARCH:
    Since I just bought a new iPod Classic, I was again looking into this issue and now I was getting annoyed, strangely the behaviour wasn't the same for all the albums that were suffering from the problem. I found that when the Artist was a combination of, for example:
    Album - AlbumX
    Album Artist - ArtistX
    Track 1 - ArtistX
    Track 2 - ArtistX Feat. X
    Track 3 - ArtistX
    Track 4 - ArtistX Feat. Z
    Track 10 - ArtistX Feat. XYZ
    In the iPod Cover Flow I got ONLY TWO different albums, one with "ArtistX" and another one with "ArtistX Feat. X".
    Well, this was very different from the normal behaviour when the artists are all completely different, in which case you get X amount of albums according to the X amount of different artist names you have.
    CONCLUSION:
    It seems to have something to do with the dot ".", I reached the conclusion that for Artist interpretation in the iPod when the Artist tag has a dot "." then it stops interpreting. That means that if you had a "." after the main artist name than it will show only once, like in the above example:
    Album - AlbumX
    Album Artist - ArtistX
    Track 1 - ArtistX. <---- NOTICE THE DOT
    Track 2 - ArtistX. Feat. X
    Track 3 - ArtistX.
    Track 4 - ArtistX. Feat. Z
    Track 10 - ArtistX. Feat. XYZ
    Then in the iPod Cover Flow it will show up only once as AlbumX - ArtistX.
    I prefer to use the dots instead of just removing all the "Featurings and similar" since I can still see it normally if I play the track.
    So, in the end, a combination like this in your "Artist" tag: "Album Artist"."Artist" would solve the problem in the iPod.
    I would love for Apple to solve this issue and I hope this helps.
    Has someone else noticed this or am I going crazy?
    Thanks!

    sometimes the official title of a release does include the Feat. Guest info.
    Yes, but only in some (or many) cases. There seems to be no consistency here, as if Apple were paying no attention about where to put "feat. guest". And I guess most of the data in CDDB (Gracenote) still have "feat. guest" in Artist (correctly, in my opinion).
    I quite agree that your workaround is the best workaround. I'm just too self-willed (obstinate?, I don't know the correct English) and don't want to pollute my Library with "wrong" data. Most of the problems would simply be solved if, just if Apple make iPods sort/group artists as iTunes do. Sorry but this is how I feel. I guess you can't help people like me. Thank you for your patience.
    Anyway, we need a clear document from Apple describing what are the intended uses of various tags, and iTunes/iPods should obey this document. It seems for me that each Apple engineer is doing just what (s)he wants to do, without any guidelines.

  • Create Web Photo Album Problem

    Please help!!!!!! I have the Adobe Web Premium Suite CS3 so I
    have all the programs loaded on my computer.
    I have been working on this for 2 days and cannot get this
    command to work. I have 15 folders of pics that need to be put up
    and I want family to be able to click on the thumbnail and open up
    to a larger pic. There are over 100 pics in there. I loaded all the
    pics in their own folders; I have tried jpg, tiff, jpeg, psd and
    gif pics; (I separated them by file name so there are none mixed in
    the folders) I put the pic folders inside my web page folder, then
    I tried it on my desktop and I tried to use My Pictures folder.
    This is how I am doing this:
    I have the index.html page open on Dreamweaver CS3
    I hit Command > Create Web Photo Album >
    fill out "Photo album title:
    fill out "Subheading info:
    fill out "Other info:
    In the "Source images folder:" when I Browse I go to the
    folder and
    I click on it and when that opens there are no pics in there.
    Nothing shows up at all.
    I finish up the rest and an error message shows up "An error
    occurred".
    Anyone know what I am doing wrong????
    Thank you.... Linda

  • Nokia N86 8MP Photo Album problem

    Hi
    Recently, when I opened the gallery to look at my photos, I found that in the "Captured" section of the gallery it said I had 0 photos, when previously there were around 300. If I try to browse to the pictures using the "Months" feature I also find there are 0 photos. The photos all still exist under the "All" catergory, however they have lost all the album associations they had before, and also a lot of them, had become other photos, in the older photographs kept cropping up again and again in the list of pictures.
    When connected to the PC in mass storage mode the photos were all still there, and the ones which seemed to be duplicates of old photos when viewed on the phone were actually the photo they were supposed to be. Anyway, now when I take a new photo it it goes into the captured section of the gallery, BUT when I try to view the picture all I get is a thumbnail and picture of old pictures taken back in September. Again, on the PC they are the right photos, as they are meant to be.
    This is super annoying, as I cannot view pictures I have taken recently, and most of the old pictures are unviewable as well (since the phone thinks they are duplicates of other photos), and the organisation of the 300 or so previous pictures has been lost, they are not in albums any more. 
    I have found NO helpful support regarding this with some Goolgling, PLEASE can someone help me out here? I am sorry if the description is unclear, but this is an awkward problem to describe. ANY help at all would be appreciated, as I have only just got this phone, and i really like all the features of it but I mainly bought it for tyhe camera and if it won't work I will have to change it for something inferior in functionality, but more reliable in imaging.
    Thanks in advance
    Henry 

    Mine does that sometimes. It is a bug. Take the battery off and restart the phone. The pictures taken won't ever return to the gallery but new ones should go in properly. Yet another infuriating feature. There seems to be an issue with the phone if you close the camera slider with the main slider open. It causes some issue with saving new pictures. It also does it even if you are careful not to do this after so much use. Unless you check after every photo taken that it has gone into the gallery you have no idea it is doing this as the post picture preview appears as normal. I also wonder whether going into messaging with a photo while the camera slider is still open is leading to this bug too.
    It might be better to save all the pics onto the pc and delete every one of them off the phone and see if you can restore them back from the pc.
    Also see if a sd card is any more/less reliable for picture taking storage. 

  • IPhoto new albums problem

    Hi,
    I've noticed a weird problem with my iPhoto lately. I can create new albums just fine in iPhoto itself, but when I go to my Finder and hit Pictures>iPhoto Library>Albums, the new albums don't show up as new folders. Is there something wrong here, or am I just using an outdated version of iPhoto?

    As long as the albums are there when iPhoto is open, don't worry about it. You shouldn't be poking around in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder anyway — all you can do in there is corrupt iPhoto's database and make the app lose track of the rest of your stuff. There is no reason to go there at all — everything you need to do with your photos can and should be done from within iPhoto.

  • Photoshop Album: problema pié foto en envíos

    Tengo Adobe Photoshop Album SE 3.2.- Quiero enviar bastantes fotos a familiares pero no salen las anotaciones a pié de foto. ¿Cómo las pueden ver con mis notas, cuando las reciban? ¿Deben bajarse el programa?

    Mi cámara es marca "Nisupa" (O sea, ni su padre lo sabe) y marca las fotos como cámara "4MDSC".
    He visto una Rollei que es exactamente igual por fuera y en características, pero no se si será la misma.
    El problema que veo, tras investigar el tema, es que las fotos que el photoshop album reconoce la fecha aparece como: "sábado, 18 de junio de 2005 17:37:15", mientra que las de mi cámara aparece como "2005/09/03 19:50:52"
    Puede que sea un problema de configuración de formatos de fecha, pero no soy capaz de ver donde decirle al Album que use otro tipo de fecha... o a la cámara que le ponga la fecha en otro formato.
    Esperaré nuevas versiones...
    Gracias.

  • A single and Complete My Album problems

    A few days ago I bought a single and then today decided to buy the rest of the album.  When I would go into the iTunes songs list it showed that the single as a separate album.  I then updated the single to have the same album name and cover art as the other songs.  That seemed to have worked in the "Songs" view, but in the "Albums" view the songs are listed out of order and clicking "Play iTunes LP" skips the single that I bought before.  (I hope this makes sense).  Does anyone know of a way to officially make that single part of the album? 
    thanks,
    Charles

    I had this problem twice the first time I've tried to upgrade to iTunes Plus. In the first case it was because I forgot to set my Payment Mode... Oooops... No reason were provided for the second case and the third time it works...
    So make sure that your Payment Mode is set.
    You can also select the iTunes "Store->Check for Available downloads..." menu item, sometimes the items are available.
    You can also try to update one item at a time (if you haven't try it yet).
    If nothing works, I guess you'll have to send a mail to iTunes Support ([email protected])... Good luck!

  • Nokia n97 photo album problem.

    Ok I just notice that not all my pictures that I had taken is loaded in the photo album. But when i downloaded the photo viwer on ovi all the photos I had taken with the n97 is on there. But on the Nokia photo viewer its missing some pictures. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I just had this happen... I'd been playing about and then noticed none of my more recent shots had appeared.
    I tried telling it to save to c:, d: (mass) and my microSD on e:
    Still couldn't see anything except one I took earlier, and the 98 from the N95 in the downloads (they were on the microSD).
    After some digging, I found all the images using the file manager. They were where they should be \images\camera on all 3 drives (exactly where I had told them to be).
    I removed the microSD and cleared all the camera folders using the file manager, so in theory I had no pictures.
    The photos app still said 1... It couldn't show me a thumbnail anymore, and trying to delete it gave a general system error.
    Still couldn't view any new pictures.
    So using the file manager I went into d: (mass storage) and told it to format it.
    Once it had finished the photo app showed 0 images! Yay!
    I then took a photo, and it appeared!
    Success.
    As to the cause, well the only thing I did do earlier was turn on the GPS recording of images. I'm not sure if this is a red herring, but apart from that I hadn't done anything.
    I wish I knew where the image database was as that must be getting corrupted.

  • Ipod album problems: Several times the same album

    Hello, since 9 months I try to fix this problem with Ipod/Iphone:
    I have 50 Traks in a album folder Dance Tunes. All informations are same for each track exept artist, but album selection and album name is always Dance Tunes.
    In ITunes it's shown as 1 album with 50 tracks, after synchronisation i have 22 Albums with 2-50 tracks (always random)with the same name: Dance Tunes.
    I have this problems with more than 800 tracks in my playlist and even I delete and reimport, the get the same problems. Rename the album ends with the same 22 albums with random tracks in it.
    Anyone same problem and know how to fix my 180 doubled albums on my iphone?
    I have the problem with windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
    Thx
    Dan

    The information is there...
    Select all 50 tracks of your Dance Album. Use CTRL-I to Get Info. On the info tab enter *Various Artists* into the *Album Artist* field. On the Options tab set *Part of a compilation* to Yes. Sync the album to your iPhone. ALL artists will be listed in the Artist menu, but the album will be listed once in the Albums menu and once in the Cover Flow view.
    For iTunes I recommend you use the options *View > Column Browser > Group Compilations > On (ticked)* and *View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists > On*.

  • Complete My Album Problems

    I recently downloaded 2 songs from the Hives new CD, Black & White. I also download the Killers Shadowplay. I go to download the full albums from the Hives and Killers. I-tunes notices the past downloads and prompts me to go to "complete my album" to get CD's for a discounted price. But, BOTH the CD's don't show up in my "complete my album" section. Does anyone know what the problem is? Has this happenned to anyone else? Thanks

    I think it'd be best to email the iTunes team at this point:

  • Complete my album problem

    I want to complete a few of my albums, but when i go to it, it only shows that i purchased 3 songs from the albums, but i really purchased all but 4 or 5, how can i complete my album without repurchasing the same music i have already purchased?

    I am having a similar problem... I have bought 2 songs from a single album in the last 2 months, but it is not registering on the album page (it doesn't show that I have bought any). I know CMA doesn't work on albums with 10 songs for $9.90, but this is not the case with this album...

  • New Smart Album problems PSE9 Mac OSX

    I am running PSE9 on a Macbook Pro and an Imac, both using Mac OSX. Creating a new Smart Album on the Macbook works perfectly but on the Imac it is unworkable. When I try to create a new Smart Album I just get a spinning ball and everything stops. I have uninstalled PSE9 and the Organizer and also removed all traces of them in the Library. Installing them again and making sure that I import only a dozen images into Organizer makes things slightly better. This time the spinning ball only lasted for a minute and then I could create a Smart Album. I then tried to create another Smart Album and had the spinning ball for a couple of minutes. Creating the third Smart Album was worse still. There is no problem with normal albums.
    Has anybody got a way round this. I have about 9000 images, going back to 2001, and I want to put them into yearly albums so Smart Albums are a very useful tool.
    A similar query by another member some time ago received no feedback.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I have uninstalled pse9 and Organizer once again and removed all traces in "hard drive>library>application support>adobe". I have also removed the elements and organizer preferences and anything else I could see in my username/library. After doing all this I reinstalled PSE9 and Organizer and then searched for and installed the updates needed. I imported 12 images (jpg)  into Organizer and then tried to create three smart albums. In each case I got the spinning ball for about 40 seconds before I could enter the smart album name.
    I have just tried to add a fourth smart album and the spinning ball has remained for ten minutes - presumably it has crashed.
    Help!

  • 6th gen Nano with album problems

    6th generation Nano separates certain albums with multiple artists.  It treats them as individual tracks instead of an album.  This is not the case on my computer, iPhone, or iPod.  I have downloaded the latest software.  Any suggestions?

    I had a similar problem with an album "Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics Of All Time" by Santana with various artists. iTunes put each "Santana, featuring XXX" as a different album, but with the same album name. By editing the info for each song, I put Santana in the Album Artist line, and iTunes then put them all in one album.
    Since they were all the same album name, they were all listed one right under the other. After editing the info on the first one, I copied Santana from the first one, then clicked Next, pasted it into the next song, clicked Next, pasted, etc. until I went through each song. Didn't take but a couple of minutes to complete, and now they're all under one album heading.
