Editing albums in Itunes

Hi
With Windows Media you can currently edit double CD's ( like live albums ) so that you can have both CD's listed as 1 by changing the track numbers to be consecretive and then album title to just 1 name (does not include disc 1 and disc 2 in the title)
Can this be done on ITUNES and if so how

See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.

Difficult to edit album info in new iTunes.

Every since the new iTunes 11 I get frustrated every day.
I can't seem to organize my files like I used to. I used to be able to click control i = edit album info..I'd be able to hit "next" and organize info for every track in the album. I can no longer do that. I have to click on every single song seperately and edit it..no more next next next. Anyways..this is just one way the new iTunes is driving me nuts.
Why did they change it???
It was fine the way it has been for years.
If anyone knows how to easily edit album info, please let me know.
I mostly have problems when importing new music from downloaded mp3 files..unheard of things, like homeschooling history lessons audiobooks. Then I import it and sometimes it shuffles it up into 2 albums instead of one and I have to go back and highlight things, erase things, rename things, to get it to realize that this is one album, with many tracks.
Sigh.
Any help appreciated.
Also, if iTunes people read this: If it's not broken, don't fix it. No idea why they changed the way iTunes looks. It's so much more difficult to use now.

I have always managed my music manually, just tried the way you do it, cleaned up my libary synced with my phone and all is OK. Made edits and resynced all OK.
Will manage all my music via the libary which I suppose is the best way to do it anyway.
Thanks alot for your help.

ITunes won't let me edit album/ track info

Just added some albums to iTunes library but some tracks are missing and have been
Put into another album, can't change the track info iTunes won't let me, what am I doing wrong?

Song files can sometimes have their Read Only status activated when moving from disk to disk. In iTunes, select one song giving your trouble, and press Ctrl-R. Right-click the file, and choose Properties. Read Only is probably checkmarked.
You don't need to uncheck each file individually. You can right-click on your My Music folder and opt to remove the checkmark on all items it contains with one click.

Can't download a purchased album in iTunes (Some Kind of Trouble)

Hello Community,
I'm not able to download a purchased album in the iTunes Store, on the album page there are some titles where it says that I have purchased it before, but i can't download those titles. An then there are some titles on wich only the price is mentioned. The weird thing is that on my iPhone I'm able to load the album out of the iCloud, but when I do this some titles are in the normal version of the album, and some others in the Deluxe Edition - album, wich looks really dumb, like in the picture below.
Hopefully someone of you unterstands my problem, an can help me.

Hi Kiesel10,
If you are having issues redownloading a previously purchased album or track, you may find the following article helpful:

HT1451 I ripped a 2-cd album to iTunes on my PC. It downloaded as 5 separate albums. Is there a way to combine those back into one album?

I ripped a 2-CD album to iTunes on my PC. It downloaded as 5 separate albums. Is there a way to combine those back into the original one album?

Yes there is tho it may get pretty redundant if you have many 2-CD albums as i had once. Using the "control" key select all five albums. Right click the selected albums and select "Get Info". If this is your first time it may ask you if you are sure you want to edit multiple albums. Click "Yes". Fill in / affirm the correctness of the grid in fron of you. Check all of the boxes BUT THE TRACK # BOXES AND ARTWORK . This will tell iTunes that all of the albums are one and the same. click "ok". One album with the correct title should appear. Select all the tracks that were on the second disk and again right click and select get info. enter into the disk # space "2" of "2". If your version of iTunes is up-to-date this will make it a 2 disk album. If you would like you get select "Get Info" again just to make sure all is good.
Hope this helps.

Can't edit descriptions in iTunes

For some reason I can edit anything in iTunes, meaning song titles, album, etc. It almost acts like it is locked or something.

Make sure you have Read/Write permissions the folder and all fines in it.

I should have said in my previous message that the iphoto program I am using is for an ipad 2. I simply want to know how to delete an edited album which contains one photo that I do not want taking up space.

OK....I'm stumped. The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account. Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

This is a bug? I can't delete photos from "Edited" album

When you apply a caption to a photo and didn't edited this photo, it will remain as "Edited" even after clearing the caption. In this case there is no option to revert the photograph and you may continue to see the "Edited" album until either deleting the iPhoto app and reinstalling to reset the data or till Apple updates the app and possibly fixes this bug. I use the latest version of the iphoto from https://itunes.apple.com/app/iphoto/id497786065

but you said it's not in iPhoto. Where is it?
Sorry, my post got corrupted when posted
You have to do the reverert to original in the edited album, not in iPhoto.
I meant to write:
You have to do the revert to original in the "edited" album, not in in any other iPhoto album.
Click the "Edit" button in the "Edited" album.
Then The cogwheel should appear. If not, add some adjustments to force the "revert" option to be show, Press it. The button may appear to be unresponsive - never mind.
Now add again a default caption. Go to the "Add Caption" field, add again a caption, click done.
Go to the "Add Caption" field once again, click the "x" beside the caption field, click done.
In "Edit" mode you should be able to see the toolbar with the cogwheel to the left and the "Revert to Original" button.
At the top of the window you should be able to enter a dummy caption, to bring up the "x" to clear it again.
If the photo does not vanish from the edited album, it may still have a tag - chrck the icons overlayed on the photos, if you see a baggage label.

Can't delete Edited Album to regain storage

I have read posts that direct you to revert edited photos to original but only some disappear and only some are revertable. there are 350 photos in this Edited Album on an ipad 3 which I want to export/move/delete to free up 2 gb of storage.

To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
Does the app/iPod meet this?

Editing Tags in itunes - does tag info stay with file?

I have a question about editing tags in itunes, hopefully I can explain myself clearly enough here...
I have a very large music collection...almost 10,000 files now, and have spent alot of time editing the tags, renaming mispelled artists and song names etc...my question is, when that tag is edited, will all that tag info remain intact when I copy the actual mp3's to another computer? I want to back all the music up to my laptop, which is running same version of itunes, but I don't want to have to start over again with editing the tags. When I initially put the files on my computer the tags were really messed.
Thanks for any info.

Here is the last list I've had of attributes and were they reside:
For M4A and MP3 files... (WAV files do not have tags)
These are only in the iTunes Library files (ITL & XML):
-- Playlists
-- Ratings
-- Play Count
-- Last Played
-- Date Added
-- Date Modified
-- Equalizer
-- Volume Adjustment
These are stored in the music file itself:
-- Artist
-- Album
-- Song Title
-- Year
-- Comments
-- Compilation tag
-- Lyrics
-- Genre
-- Grouping
-- Volume Adjustment (a special iTunes only tag in the file - non-standard)
-- Composer
-- Bit Rate (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- BPM
-- Kind (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- Album Art (only stored in the file - not copied to the iTunes Library ITL or XML files)
Best of Luck

While playing my albums in iTunes it has just started playing the first song but will not progress through the other songs on the album. Did I accidentally change setting or are other people having the same trouble? thanks

Hi there Sing Me A Song,
You may have changed the Up Next list in iTunes. Take a look at the article below for more information on the Up Next lists and how to edit it.

I downloaded an album on itunes and it says that it is purchased, but on my music playlist it does not show up. What shoud I do?

Download it to iTunes on your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), then sync it to your phone. Make sure the album is selected to sync to your phone before syncing. If that doesn't work, you may have to delete all the music off your phone, then sync it back from iTunes. To delete your music, go to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then click Music, tap Edit, then tap next to All Music.

I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

TS1702 Hi, I bought The Truth About Love album on itunes as a complete my album from my Iphone4S. I can see the name of the album as a purchase on my Mac Notebook 2004, however I am not unable to add the music to my itouch and is doesn't show up in music

Hi,
I bought the Truth About Love/Pink's album on itunes as a complete my album purchase as I had bought a song from the album previously. I bought it via my Iphone 4S. When I turn on itunes on my Mac Notebook 2004 (IOS X 10.4.11) I can see the album as a purchase but it is not listed in my library music nor can I add it to my Itouch 2nd generation. Do you know why? I can access the songs on my iphone but nowhere else.

They will only be on your computer's iTunes if you put them there. If you are in a country where you can re-download music then they should show under the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If they don't show there then you can connect your phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over.
