Creating a Folder or Album For Miscellaneous Songs In iTunes

Hi! I'm not even sure how to search for the question that I have, but maybe someone here can help me. I want to keep all of my hundreds of single songs (mostly purchased from iTunes) in one spot, so that they don't clutter up my album catalogue when I search by Album in iTunes (ie I only want full albums to show in my album catalogue). I used to change the album name of all of my single songs to "miscellaneous music," but iTunes isn't letting me do that anymore, for some reason. It keeps changing the album names back to their original names. Is there a folder that I can place them in? A way to create a huge compilation album? I have a pretty sizable music collection and any ideas for how to keep my iTunes organized in this way would be so helpful! Thanks!

What you suggested is better for my immediate needs and would have been easier than what I did which was put a note in an unused IPTC field.
What you suggest creates a new album, but it's static. In other words if I change the rating to 0, the photo is still in the album. I was looking for a dynamic (smart) album which would change (the contents of the album would change) if I starred or removed stars from photos.
Thanks for the hint though. I might use it in the future if I don't think I'll need the dynamic album.

  • How do I get Itunes to properly import a cd without making a different album for each song..

    I try to import my cds, and everytime it features another artist it creates a new album for that song... how do I get it to imort the album and show as just the album name...

    Hi
    All my tracks are MP3.
    In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column.  If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
    If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

  • I have created a folder and album where I've renamed the images, yet when I export them, the default to their original numbering. How can I block that so I can keep the newly renamed images as I've renamed them?

  • I have multiple views of every album for every song

    I have multiple views of every album for every song

    It should be possible to do this in Multicam - as long as the soloist's voices can be clearly distinguished - but it's a bit complicated to explain it step by step!
    I strongly recommend you watch the Ripple Training Tutorial on Multicam Editing in Final Cut Pro X to get the best out of it. (Costs $29.99).

  • I bought a full album of 4 songs on Itunes sotre, when I play only hear 30 seconds ... why?

    I bought a full album of 4 songs on Itunes sotre, when I play only hear 30 seconds ... why?
    I can do, how I can get my money? or how I can re-download them without buying them? 

    Why? Seems to be an intermittent issue at present.
    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

    Hi FCAtrains,
    Firefox can open SVG graphics straight away - no plugins needed at all. Give it a try!
    It's best not to install plugins which are no longer supported. They can be a threat to your employer's network security.
    Have a go at opening some SVG graphics in Firefox and let us know if ypu need further help. :)

    Hi jayelbe,
    thanks for your idea but the environment I'm working in is designed to support IE and is optimized for the use of the Adobe feature. By using the IE the SVG graphics can be saved as *.svg in a dedicated folder but not so by using Firefox. The graphic window area shows no content. The file can not be downloaded.
    An additional issue is - may be - that I'm working on my home device with LINUX instead of Windows (where everything works).

  • Some Albums on iTunes separate into one album for each song on iPod

    Some of my albums, imported from CD's, show up properly on iTunes. After the sync, each song in the album shows up on the iPod Touch as a separate album with the one song. All the songs on the album are "ticked" in the iTunes list before the sync.

  • Audio CD burning error- I opted for importing songs into iTunes as MP3

    Hi,
    Before I started importing songs into iTunes, I chose int eh iTunes preferences to import all songs as MP3, as I wanted the option of being able to burn CDs to play on my car MP3 player.
    When I tried to burn a CD, I got an error message that these songs could not be burnt onto the CD. This had the option where I could see all the errors and the list was of all the songs that I was trying to burn.
    BTW, I created a new playlist, dragged the required songs to this playlist from the library and pressed the burn disc option.
    What am I doing wrong? Could it be that the drive is faulty?

    First of all, how long is the total time of all songs? If it is more than 80 minutes, you can't record to the CD as an audio CD. If that is the case, and you say you have an MP3 cd player in your car... you might want to try burning to the disc as an MP3 CD. Go to iTunes preferences, then click "Advanced," then "Burning" and you'll see an option for "MP3 CD." Click that, and then when you burn the disc, you can put as many songs as will fit onto the disc.
    Also, rewritable CDs aren't any better... as a matter of fact, a lot of audio CD players can't read them. A regular CD-R should be fine, even one rated at 40x speed.

  • Can I change the settings for ALL songs in iTunes with 1 command?

    I'd like to set the volume for all songs to +100. Can I just select all songs and then change it to +100?

    Highlight all the songs in your library (ctrl+a, edit-->select all, etc.)
    Now right click one of the songs, making sure that all remain highlighted, and go to get info. Click Yes to the message that pops up. You should be able to adjust the volume in that window. Click OK when you are done. The volume should now be adjusted for all songs.

  • HT1399 I downloaded and was charged for a song on ITunes store but it isn't on my playlist.

    I downloaded a song from the I-tunes store and was charged for it.  It isn't on my playlist now.  Something about the playtime ran out or something like that.  Can I just cancel the song purchase and get reimbursed for the .99 cents that I was charged for the song?

    You may want to contact Apple directly by phone to report the issue.

  • Why can't I set a stop time for a song in itunes?

    I would like to shorten a song that I purchased on itunes.  When I set the stop time in options it continues to play to the end of the song and will not accept the shortened time I have set.  Why can I not shorten the stop time on a song?

    I had a similar problem, with strange times appearing in the stop time field after I entered it.
    I eventually realised that the song must not be playing, or even selected for playing, when you attempt the stop time edit. This is counter-intuitive; both of us wanted to edit the stop time for a song we were playing.
    What worked for me was to first select another song and start it playing. Then select the song whose stop time you want to edit, and make the edit.
    I hope that solves your problem.
    However, a warning: Start and stop times do not seem to propagate to the home shared library, e.g., accessed by an iPad, or Apple TV; they only work when playing music directly from iTunes.
