How can i get my albums to play in track order instead of alphabetical?

Ok heres the problem. I have got my music backed up an external harddive. Now if i look at album on my external and look at the songs they are all tagged with the track number, ie 01,02,03 etc for each album. When i drag an album into itunes the main library it copies the album from my external to itunes, it puts it in alphabetical order. I thought this is funny so i go to my music folder, itunes folder, itunes music folder, where musics kept and look in there. My albums in there but isn't tagged with the track numbers. For some reason when ive dragged my album from my external to itunes for some reason its got rid of the track numbers which is highly frustrating. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?
Many Thanks.

If you click on the column headings in iTunes it will sort the tracks by the column you have selected.
Try clicking on the Album column, this should then put the tracks in the right order. You probably have the Track column selected which will keep the tracks in alphabetical order by Track name.

  • How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes?  The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

    It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
    If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
    Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

  • When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • How can I get a Album with multiple artists to appear as a single album with all of the tracks?

    How can I get a Album that contains multiple artists to appear as a single album with multiple tracks?  Also when I sync iTunes with my iPhone or iPad the Album appears as multiple albums with each artist.  The Album title is the same on each of the affected tracks.

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist" or check the "compilation" flag.
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

  • How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

    How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

    How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time? 

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
    He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
    For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
    'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

  • HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

    i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

    first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • How can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in?

    how can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in? is there a app i can download so it will recognize it? i have a vauxhal astra and the controls are on the steering wheel

    First question is how old is Astra and you are in UK ( well you must be to have a Vauxhall)
    Normally the Radio only has a line in socket  to allow sound
    You have two choices here either a simple cable with a 3.5mm Headphone plus at each end
    or a cable with the headphone plug to place in car's line in plug and a wide Apple socket to fit the base of your iPhone This allegedly gives better sound but  you have to control the iPhone for music selection
    The equipment you need to control the iPhone from the Steering Wheel controls ,which I suspect currently handles radio /Cd  tracks /stations ,is much more complicated it will have to be integrate with the Factory Fitted  radio
    and designed to manage the S/Wheel  controls and translate to the iPhone .
    Fitted into back of radio etc etc
    If car is a recent Vauxhall there may be a kit available from them .but will not be cheap
    Many imponderables you did not give much away in your OP
