Consolidate tracks into one album

I have the latest version of itunes and I ripped one of my cd's last night. It's a 2 disc album and it ripped disc 2 fine as one album, but disc one is all separate tracks.
I have selected all the tracks and clicked "get into", changed all the info to the same and it used to combine all the tracks into one album, but now for some reason it won't work. I have tried the "consolidate" option and that doesn't work either.
I don't particularly like the new itunes interface to be honest, it looks very cold and uninviting
Apologies if i'm on the US site of Apple, I keep changing the page to UK and it keeps reverting me back to US again!

Hi there.
Thanks for your reply. I was trying to do this last night, I updated to itunes 11 a few days ago. I turned on my laptop this morning and found there was another update, so I updated and now it works!
The album in question is a various artists one, so I change the album artist to various artists, so it preserves the artist name on each individual track.
I don't know about you, but when an album has more than one disc, I always re-number the tracks and combine them all into one complete album, it looks tidier that way, instead of having disc 1, disc 2 etc.
I guess I'll have to get used to the new interface of itunes, as long as it works properly that's all that matters I suppose.

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:

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

Hello Jr45,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Instead of having me try to explain this one, check out this wonderfully written article by another forum member turingtest2 on organizing content in iTunes. It should be able to assist you with this situation.

How do I put a group of tracks into one album

How do I put a group of songs into one album? They copied separately into iTunes.

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. On iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

When i import a compilation cd how do i get all the tracks into one album in the music library. They are currently listed as individual tracks or albums.

When I import a compilation CD the tracks list as individual albums. How can I get them consolidated into one album?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For a compilation use Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab of Get Info.

Combining tracks into one album

Combining tracks into one album, choosing track order

Hi, I've searched this forum and haven't been able to solve this yet.
I have a bunch of b-sides that I want to add to an album proper. Say the album has 12 tracks. I am able to add an additional song to the album, which increases the track count to 13 tracks. Only problem is, track number 13 is at the top of the list (album view), so the play order is 13,1,2,3 etc....
I have experimented with the "track number 13 of 13" option, and although the info tells me it is indeed the last track of the album, iTunes refuses to show it numerically in order.
How do I make it so these additional tracks play at the END of the album, and not the beginning, with the ultimate goal transferring the entire thing to my iPhone?
Thanks!

Ryan:
First off, in the Get info>Info pane, make sure that they all say disk 1 of 1, OR that there's nothing there at all. Also make sure that Artist and Album Artist match up.
Second, go to the sorting pane, and make sure that anything you've added matches what was there in the first 12 songs.
See what those do for you--
Best of luck,
Doc

How do you merge multiple songs into one album?

When I added a downloaded album to iTunes, it created one album for each track. How do I merge all of these albums/tracks into one album?

Some albums will fracture into a million pieces if you have different artist names. How the columns are sorted can effect this.
If it is a multiple artists on one album select 'Compilation' in the options section for all of the songs on the album.
NOTE: You need to have multiple items selected to set this flag!

How to i get all the tracks into one album as they were meant to be?

Make sure all tracks have the same album name and same artist name (look under Get Info) in order for them to group together. If the album is a compilation with different artists, under Get Info, mark it as a compilation.

Putting songs(tracks) into an album

I have loaded a CD into itunes but many of the tracks have appear in seperate albums(with the same album title). How do I arrange the tracks into one album. I have tried "get information" but all the relavant headings etc appear to be the same. Nor do appear to be able to "drag" the tracks into an album. Please can anyone help.

Check to make sure that the album title is exactly the same for all the tracks (copy and paste the album name from one track to make sure). Any variation, even an extra space, will cause iTunes to treat the track as belonging to a different album.
Hope this helps.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
