Downloading Music Into the Genre Fold

I have a Zen Sleek, and while I love it, I have a small problem with it. I listen to a lot of Opera and Broadway Musicals. And I would like to be able to download an Opera or Musical in the Genre area as a whole CD and not individual songs. As it stands now, when I download a CD it breaks it up in the genre folders by the artist who sang it. I don't want that. I want to be able to download an opera into the genre folder as a whole CD and not by artist. Is there a way to do that? Thanks.

If you have one CD/album featuring lots of artists, each artist will be listed separately in Genres for the tracks they have sung. It sounds like perhaps you should make sure each track on the CD has the same 'Album' tag and then browse by 'Album' not 'Genre', where you will then get a whole list of tracks on that album in order of track number.

  • Why isn't all my downloaded music in the Media Folder(Windows 7 iTunes 11)

    I recently purchased a new PC. When I installed iTunes back on my new PC, it pulled down all my music. I can go to any song and it will play with no problems. However, when I was needing to add some music to a project, I went to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music I only see a very few of my songs. Where are they? Do I have to pay for them again and download? I now wish that I had not installed the new version.
    Thanks to anyone that has an answer

    Had the media folder changed at some point?
    You can use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to bring in copies of the files that are outside of the media folder having checked you've got the right folder selected. You'll need to manually clean up the originals.
    Backup the library before you make changes, then update the backup once you're certain everything is as you want it. Refresh the backup regularly.

  • When I try to put the downloaded firefox into the application folder, it says a newrer version already exists, do you want to replace it. What should I do.

    I have several older versions of Firefox in my application folder. I downloaded 5.0 and when I went to put it into my application folder a pop up window said a NEWER version already is in the folder - do I want to replace it.
    It doesn't make sense. It won't just accept the new version as it previously did with other versions. I just want to know if I should go ahead and replace version.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”
    Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

  • How do I move my music folder it into the iTunes folder?

    Before I had an iPod all my music was in the My Music folder. When I started using an iPod and iTunes I left all my music in the My Music folder. I have been reading how to back up or move my music and I see my setup is not a good one.
    I want to correct my setup by getting all my music into the iTunes folder. How do I do this the right way? Once I do this will all my music, art, play lists, and ratings be together so they all get backed up and/or can be move to an external drive?
    My Music folder is about 60 gb and the free space on my hard drive is about 17 gb.

  • What do you do if all your music disappears into the Other folder......dreaded orange bar!

    Hope this will help someone as there is clearly not much help from Apple nor this forum.
    I am on vacation away from my home computer where my iTunes is.  I turned on my iPod and scrolled down to Music and it showed "No Music."  Went to "About" and saw that there were only 9GB of free space, so I felt for sure it was there because that's right at what I had when I last synced it, which was a couple days ago and it finished syncing with no problems.  Went to the next "About" screen where you can see how much Audio, Video etc. etc. you have and it showed 0 Audio and The "Other" category had all the data in it.  What happened to my music, and can I get it back on vacation without my iTunes on my computer at home?  I tried the holding down of the Select middle button and the Menu button until the Apple logo appeared but that did not restore any Audio.  Hope someone can help me out here.....Thanks
    Re: Ipod Classic 160GB having issues, need help please?
    Oct 25, 2011 5:06 AM (in response to Fishead)
    Solved my issue and thought I might do someone a favor by posting the answer.  If you wind up with NO MUSIC and find all your audio files have been synced into the OTHER folder on your iPod such as what happened to me, AND if you happen to be unlucky enough not to have access to your computer where your iTunes program would allow you to re-sync your iPod, here's what worked for me in a Windows7 OS.
    1.You will have to find a computer that has enough storage to hold the amount of information stored on your iPod.  In my case, 139GB!!!  Download iTunes if it is not already on the system, or if it is, update to the latest software.
    2.  Plug your iPod into one of the USB ports.
    3.  Open iTunes if it does not open itself.
    4.  Select your iPod from the menu on the left and you should get a message that iTunes cannot read the iPod. Simply close that box.  If you get a message that syncing your iPod will erase all content then decline the sync.
    5.  Open Computer and you should see your iPod as an external hard drive.
    6.  Open it and you will see some folders and a few files.  The folders will likely look like they are a washed-out yellow instead of a deep yellow like you're accustomed to seeing.  That threw me initially because as I was looking for the folder with @ 139GB, it was not there.  Right click each folder, go to Properties and check the "Show hidden files" in the View menu.  After that, the folders will appear dark yellow and as you hover over each one, you will see one that will have the full amount of data that was on your iPod before the mess started. Open that folder and you will see a bunch of other folders with strange names, like F00, F01 etc. etc. Do the Edit, Select All, right click and in Properties, View menu, check the Show Hidden Files again.  All the folders that were that light yellow color will now turn deep yellow.  Be sure to select show hidden files not only for the folder but all sub folders and files box that will come up....forgot to mention that earlier.  Now all your folders and the files in them will be readable by iTunes.
    7.  The folders will all still be selected.  If not, select them and then do either a copy/paste into iTunes Music Library or drag them over into that pane.  The process will begin and likely take quite a while.  In my case, several hours.  When it is done, you will see all your music in iTunes along with the album art if you had any.
    8.  Now you will need to sync your iPod to that library, but before you do, you will need to Restore it.  Simply select it from the left menu and click on the Restore iPod option.  That will only take a few minutes and it will wipe your iPod clean.  Before you do that, it is a good idea to MAKE SURE YOUR MUSIC IS ALL THERE!!!  I also went to about a half dozen of the albums and tried playing a few songs just to be double sure.  Proceed with the Restore, and when it is complete change the iPod name that will be in the small box on the same page as the Restore option and likely be something like"karens iPod" (whoever the computer belongs to will be the name there) to exactly what your iPod is called on your iTunes on your computer that it was originally synced to.  I found that before I did this, it would not sync.
    9.  When you hit Sync, be patient because it took a minute or so before it actually began to sync.  Then, it will be another few hours if you have as much music as I did for the sync to complete and depending on the speed of the computer you're using.
    That's how I got all my music back and I am now a happy camper/listener again.,
    I called Apple support and they were absolutely no help.  Just told me I would have to re-sync to my iTunes even though I kept telling them that was 1,650 miles away at my house and not going to be possible.  I even asked if the above process would work and they said they didn't know but "You could try it....." :-(  At that time, I didn't have access to a computer with enough hard disc space on it yet so I called the Apple store in Louisville, KY which was 65 miles from where I was hoping that they might be able to help.  After 2 calls and getting hung up in the same loop of menus that left me on hold for over 20 minutes long distance, I gave up and concluded that Apple and Support are two mutually exclusive terms and have no relationship to one another. This has been quite a nightmare, and if anything good has come of it aside from having my music back, it might be the learning process but I really feel that is a rather small reward for the time spent!
    Not likely to be an Apple fan when considering my next purchase of home computer, laptop, nor the phone I am preparing to buy.
    Hope this has helped someone.

    I never throw anything away up to a point when it has become silly and then I have a cull. (This applies to the loft, the garage and the hard disk)
    I always have (at least) two backups to external drives and by the end of a project also have a full backup to DVD.
    I am a hobby photographer, so this isn't necessarily a good professional workflow!
    I store work in progress within a folder structure that identifies just what it is, final folder being date stamped for the start date (eg D:\My Pictures\Photgraph Album Master\Family\Bob\20100715 Farnborough airshow)
    Photographs of value are then kept within the folder with a date stamp and version number if they change within a day (eg 20100823 Alexander in cockpit 2).
    Photographs I haven't touched remain with their camera-specified name.
    Lightroom, which I use, doesn't know about external drives or DVD backups. (Maybe it should, but it would become confusing)

  • I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itune's however all of my music has an "!" buy it and I get an error saying "original file can not be found". How do I get my music back?

    I have just downloaded all of my music into the new itues, however; all of my music has an "!" but it and I get an error that says " original file can not be found".
    How do I get my music back?

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • After downloading the new version, it says to drag the icon into the applications folder; there's no icon!

    I've been asked to update my Firefox two days in a row, and have downloaded the update, but no ICON appears for me to drag into the applications folder. Why is this?

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
    Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • I download the new version. No Firefox icon appears to be dragged into the Applications folder. I am on a new Mac with the latest software.

    I downloaded the most recent version of Firefox as requested. No Firefox icon appears
    to drag into the Applications folder. I tried twice with no luck. The old version remains.
    I am on a new Mac. I will, when this works, be updating my older Mac as well.

    The thing in your download folder is a "disk image." You have to double-click it and it will place a white "disk" on your desktop. It should also open a window with a Firefox icon and your applications folder. Then you can drag it to the applications folder. When you are done drag that disk to the trash.

  • How do I get 'all' my audio books into the Audiobook folder?

    Hi, I'm an iTunes newbie (new touch) and am trying to get to grips with some of the quirks of iTunes.
    I have some audio books I purchased from Audible.co.uk and when imported into iTunes these go into the Audiobooks folder in the iTunes Library.
    However, I also have several audio books I have converted from CD's into MP3. When I import these into iTunes, they always end up in the music folder of the Library. No amount of dragging and dropping or searching of the 'preferences' have allowed me to move these files into the Audiobook folder. Can this be done in iTunes?
    Any help greatly received.
    Regards,
    Glenn

    If you are going to do it this way, I would suggest a SmartPlaylist.
    Highlight all of your audiobooks, go to file, then get info. Now, pick a section to edit (Comments, grouping or genre are the best choices) and enter a tag such as "Audiobook".
    Now, create a SmartPlaylist to only show anything with that particular tag.
    For example, "Genre contains audiobook". Only files with Audiobook will show up.
    Forgive me if you knew how to do this, but I figured as a new user this might be helpful.

  • How to download music into itunes

    Hii,
    can anyone tell me how to download music into itunes, the present version?

    Buy the music from iTunes and it downloads automatically.
    There is no other way to download content into iTunes.
    Importing music into iTunes is different. Is that maybe what you intended to ask?
    If so, go to File > Add File/Folder to iTunes.

    You can't download music through anything other than the iTunes store or by syncing music that you have on your computer that is placed into iTunes. Once the music is in iTunes, you can sync it to the phone.
