Consolidating tracks under one album

How do you consolidate tracks under one album... i imported an album and now it has multiple album covers, separating the tracks.

Have you had a look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together

Consolidating songs under one Album Cover

When importing a CD Album into iTunes, iTunes will create several album covers then spread different songs under each cover. How do I consolidate these spread-out song under on album cover? Currently I have an album, under library, that show 5 album covers with 2-3 songs under each album cover. I am new to using an iPod so any help is appreciated.

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.

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.

How do i get all my songs of one album together under one album artwork

how do i get all my songs of one album together under one album artwork some are ok and some are all over the place

If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them (Choose File > Library > Consolidate Library). When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Consolidating your library - Windows

HT2905 I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well.

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.

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:

How do I recombine tracks from one album that have been split up in the iCloud

I have a number of soundtrack albums where each track is atributed to a different artist. When they go into iCloud they sort as multiple "albums", one for each artist. They show the same album name but each track is mixed amoung my other albums alphabetically by the artist. Is there any way I can get them all to show together under the one album title?

It's kind of tedious, but go into the "Info" for each song and check the "Compilation" box, one by one. Go back to your album list and they will be listed all together.

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.
For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
