How can i bundle songs in 1 album and 1 artwork

I have downloaded 32 songs that belongs to a Various artists Album. In iTunes I see the album and songs in 3 different ways.
1. Album with artwork and only 18 songs
2. Album and artwork and 11 songs (not same as above)
3. 3 songs with no artwork but the info is the same and indicates the correct album.
How do I combine all of this this to show 1 album, 1 artwork and all the songs together?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.
In this case the issue is caused by the fact that you are sorting on the Date Added column and two unrelated tracks were imported during the same time frame as the album in question.

HT2729 How can I put songs into the album they came from but were split because of multiple artists on a tune?

I need help in finding out home to combine songs from the same CD into one Album. When putting CD into the iMac, it auto loads into iTunes. If the artist is singing duet and the songs show more than one artist, it gets separated in iTunes. I want to combine all tracks together like they are on the CD.

One way around this is to edit the album info for each song on that album and make the album artist 'various artists', or you can remove that duet artist and make all the artists the same.
Seems to be a glitch or change with how iTunes sees albums now. THey alphabetize them by artist and, as you've noticed, if the artists are different, it sees them as different albums.
I had many albums like this and spent a whole weekend editing the info to 'various' to clean it up.

How can i get songs back after erase and sync?

How can i get songs back after pressing erase and sync by mistake?

If they are no longer stored in your iTunes library and were only on your iPod, I'm afraid you are out of luck. Sorry.

How can I give songs on one album different illustrations.

Pete Philly, a Dutch singer, did a project, called "Open Loops". He uploaded a number of songs that didn't really fit in his new album, to be downloaded for free. I downloaded it, and it turns out that every song has its own illustration. I was curious if it was possible for several songs on one album to have different illustrations in iTunes. Is it possible? If so, how can I do it? Thanks in advance.

From another thread
If you just highlight the name of the genre and press play/pause, you won't have to select an artist.

A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing. How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed. How can I combine them to make one album?

First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved. Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue! I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info". However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album. I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library. I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can. Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this. Thanks so much for your patience!

How can I rearrange songs within an album in the main library?

I have a book on tape that keeps loading out of order. I want to make each chapter a a separate album. Everything works but I can't get the tracks to load in order. Using a playlist would allow me to rearrange but then I can't divide it up into albums. Any suggestions?
(Basically I need to make a permanent change to the order of songs in the main library without using a certain criteria like date,track,album, ect. Click and drag is not working either)

Hi fuzzer,
Have you used the Info (CTRL-I) function? You can edit all track info there, including track number. Sounds like it would do what you're looking for.

How can I keep songs in proper album sequence?

Please help an old AOR geezer. I've got "track numbers" checked in my Edit>view options menu, but when I rip a CD to my itunes v4.8, the songs come out scrambled, usually to bad effect. How to listen to stuff in the right order? I know there's got to be a simple fix, but I've looked, and I'm not finding it. I didn't have this problem until recent downloads of new itunes updates. please help. Thanks

If I understand you correctly, what you may need to do it check the album information (right click on song, click "get info", click "info" tab) for the album you have loaded. If they are tracks from the same album, make sure under the "disc info" they are listed as Disc 1 of 1 and then each song should have its own track number like 10 of 12. If they are numbered incorrectly, rearrange the number to meet your preferences.
I know on one or two of my albums, when I imported them, iTunes rearranged them to a different order. I can only assume this is due to the album information iTunes has stored and when the music is imported iTunes arranged it to what they have on file.

How can I import songs which are filed basis one album/compilation as one folder?

How can I import songs which are filed basis one album/compilation as one folder?
i can drag and drop one folder which is a proper album into itunes under playlist. if i drag and drop two proper albums into itunes it is also ok but if itunes does not know my own compliations and i drag and rop my 3000 folders in one shot into itunes i get only one playlist containing all songs.
pleased to hear if anybody know how i can avoid to do 3000 times drag and drop a folder into itunes.
rgds, alexander

Before you begin the import, edit the properties of the tracks to set the Album Artist to Various Artists and Part of a Compilation to Yes.

Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer? Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart. Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content. They are not required to provide this opportunity.
It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes. On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer. Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper; in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

My computer froze during match initial formatting. Now some songs are uploaded others are "greyed out." If I go song by song, I can update match. How can I do this all at once and also update album art?

Hi gdogk,
If there was an interruption during the initial iTunes Match process and you are now having issues with playback and album art, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful. In particular, you may want to turning iTunes Match off, then back on again, as noted here:
If iTunes Match is already enabled on your computer or device, try turning iTunes Match off and then on again.
Mac: While holding down the option key, choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match.
Turn iTunes Match on by selecting Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
Windows: While holding down the shift key, choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match.
Turn iTunes Match on by selecting Store > Turn On iTunes Match.

Bust3d,
The gifting options on a mobile device are limited. However, if you long into your iTunes account on a Mac or PC, you can gift a song you have already purchased. Click the triangle and choose "Gift This Song." See pic below.

How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?

I have iTunes 12.0.1 on my Windows PC. I'm about to get a new iMac (hooray!) and I'm beginning the process of transferring everything on my PC to my Mac. I've got all the documents, pictures, files, etc. covered, but now I have to make a copy of all of my music.
Most of the music in my iTunes library is not bought through the iTunes Store (I download most of my songs from the Internet). Then, after saving the downloaded song to my computer, I go into iTunes on my computer and add the song. I also add metadata like artist, album, genre, album artwork, etc. to the song in iTunes. What concerns me is that only the songs in iTunes have this metadata: the original downloaded files I saved onto my computer don't have any metadata.
I really don't want to have to go through the long and tedious process of adding artist/album names, genre, etc. to every single song in my iTunes library on my new iMac. How can I copy songs with metadata (added in iTunes) from my PC to my new iMac?
Thank you so much for any help!

Hello! I'd like to learn more about Home Sharing. To do this, would both my PC (which I hope to get rid of) and my new iMac need to be plugged in?
Also, after Home Sharing with the old PC is initiated, I understand that all my songs would appear on my iMac. Is there a way to copy all of these (with album artwork, name, artist, etc.) directly to the iMac's hard drive and then disconnect home sharing so I can get rid of my PC?
Thank you!

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order. This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes. If I just hit play, this doesnt happen. As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order. Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it. When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example). But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason. Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening. Any thoughts?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
