How can I get my soundtracks w/multiple artists to show up together?

I am an ex-Zune user, this is my 1st day trying my new iPod. My goal is to find a way to look through my collection on iTunes/iPod as if I were looking through my CD collection.
The problem I'm having is with soundtracks/CD's that feature multiple artists. I noticed this when I imported & synced a soundtrack to my iPod. I'll just use my example, the Friday soundtrack. Ok, now I have my CD collection organized by artist name alphabetically, and the Friday soundtrack would go under F. Well when I import & sync this CD, when scrolling through all my artists on my iPod, it doesn't show the Friday soundtrack, but rather each artist's name on the album individually.
What I did for now, was change all the artist names to "Friday", so they show up under Friday, but then I don't have any of my artist info.
Is there any way to correct this so I can have them all under the same album, but keep each song's artist name stored individually so I can tell who is on each song?

If the artists are different, it's going to always be that way in your iPod. After all, what artist would it all go under if there were many artists?
However, you have a few options, for one, I would select all of that album, go into Get Info, and under advanced, make it "Part of a Compilation". This gives you some additional sorting functionality, and you can set your iPod settings, to VIEW these compilations separately. When this setting is enabled on your iPod, any "compilation" tracks are not under that artist, and instead, are under "Compilations" under your music. Plus, you can have iTunes sort Compilations separately too, so it's pretty handy.
Also, you can leave your Artist as is, but leave Artist Album blank. When you do this coupled with the "part of compilation" setting, in iTunes, all of your compilations will appear at the bottom of your library, in a dedicated area for Various Artist compilations.
At the end of the day, just play around with the settings and see what you like. Personally, I use the following methods for any various artist soundtrack/compilation:
-Set all songs as part of compilation
-Set Artist as usual
-Leave Album Artist blank (if the album is Various Artists. If not, enter the main artist)
-In VIEW->COLUMN BROWSER, both "Display Album Artist" and "Group Compilations" are checked
-iPod Groups Compilations as well

  • 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 a date picker or wheel to show up in the form to make filling in a form with a lot of dates more easy?

    There is no built-in date picker available for forms created in Acrobat. There are some third-party solutions involving JavaScript (either a large collection of fields or a custom dialog) though. Also, text fields with date formatting will use a wheel type date picker on Android/iOS devices with Adobe Reader.

  • How can I get all of my purchased iTunes to show up in my "MUSIC" on my iPhone5?

    I've purchase several iTunes songs. Some of them show up in my "MUSIC" but some don't.  How can I get all of them to show up in the "MUSIC" app/tab?  Currently the only way I can play some of them is to go to ITunes where they show as "purchased".

  • TS1538 Is there a fix for this? How can I get it to where my device will show up in itunes without having to reinstall itunes every single time?

    To get my Iphone 4 to show up in iTunes, I have to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it EVERY single time I want to connect my device to iTunes. I've tried just using a wi-fi connection and that won't work. It's very annoying to have to go through all that trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes every time that I need to connect to my iTunes account. I first got this phone in Germany when I was visiting my uncle who was stationed there, he had got the phone from AT&T here in the U.S. while in Germany connecting to his computer to itunes was no problem, it'd connect without any issues. Then when I came home back to the states, my phone would no longer connect to itunes on my computer unless I unistalled and reinstalled, but my computer does recognize my device when I connect every time just itunes does not and I don't understand why it's doing that. Is there any way to fix this? How can I get my device to show up in itunes without having to reinstall it every time?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • When I copied my cd collection to my iTunes account, I use the view by CD option in the viewer. How can I get songs from the same album to show nder the same view, instead of making it a separate thing?

    How can i fix this problem with songs from the same album, not being organized under the same  when they are from the same CD?

    Thank you... just read up on iTunes Match.   That stinks, paying a yearly thing... but I understand everyone has to make a dollar.  I think I'm better off just picking the best songs out of my collection storing them on my computer or iPhone then selling my CD's to some used CD place.   If I ever really want to hear a song there are multiple options and if I want it... the .99 to 1.29 option is always there.
    Thank you for the information

  • HT1725 How can I get my money back for a tv show that didn't download??

    I tried to download a tv show for my son (I have done it several times with no problems) but this time iTunes took my 1.99 and didn't download my show! How do I get my money back? My iTunes on my laptop is JACKED UP! It worked right for awhile an then stopped connecting to the store. I had someone restore it and it still won't work! So I can't look up my purchased apps. Thanks for any help!

    This might be able to help with the iTunes Store connection problem -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    Most of the time, it's just going to be the security software causing the problem.
    To get a refund, contact Apple with Express Lane.

  • How can I get the "Multi-Camera Record" button to show up in the Multi-Camera editor?

    I've used the Multi-Camera editor in Premiere for years but in the most recent update (Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014) I can't get the Multi-Camera Editor to record my camera switches. I looked for the Multi-Camera Record button but it wasn't where it used to be, and even when hitting the plus sign to add more buttons it does not appear in that menu either.
    What am I missing here? Please help. Thank you.

  • HT3529 how can I get messages sent to me to stop showing up on their ipods.

    My children and I share one Itunes account.  How can I fix my settings so that when people message me on my iphone from another Iphone,  it won't show up on my kids Ipods.  I rather my kids not see what people are sending me for messages. 

    Make a new Apple ID for each of your children, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime and iMessage.
    You can keep the 'old' Apple ID on their devices for iTunes and App Stores.
    This should allow you to all share the iTunes/Apps, but keep the messages separate.  Also, you can enable iCloud backup for each device under the unique Apple ID, and set it to automatically do a backup on a regular basis.

  • How can I get firefox to open multiple tabs on startup?

    I want to upto six or seven tabs to open automatically when I launch firefox. When I look at the options tab it only gives me a prompt to enter one home page not multiple.

    The easiest way to set up home pages is to have the page that you want all open in the tabs bar and then continue as before but with "Use current pages" as your choice (button).

  • HOW can I get my iTunes Libray MAIN WINDOW to show in LIST form (like before). NOW only shows an IMAGE GRID. HATE it. HELP please! THANKS!!

    For the last 2 (maybe 3) updates iTunes has been showing my MUSIC LIBARY in a GRID of IMAGES with small caption below each image (usually an empty grey box, but occasionally tje front cover of album). It is a BIG waste of time to look at, go through and find any of my many hundreds of items.
    I want / NEED "LIST VIEW" (or whatever it is called) back.
    I have looked in SUPPORT / iTunes HELP / Preferences / ALL my menus - for ANY info on getting my LIST VIEW back.
    Somebody PLEASE share with me HOW to get a LIST VIEW in the iTunes MAIN WINDOW (NOT the sidebar ...which is in a nice LIST foerm still thank God).
    Going out of my mind on this one - and wasting LOTS of time, going through it.
    Sure it's ALPHABETICAL (in an arbitrary fashion), but do they REALLY expect me to "REMEMBER" - or already know my choice - of what I am" looking for"?? Come on! I open iTunes, SEARCH through my (where'd it GO?) list and choose something that feels right for the moment. Most people do.
    This IMAGE GRID just throws unnecessary obstruction into the experience and takes massive amounts of time to arrive at a selection (especially if it is not one of my first 40 albums (less than 10% of my libary). I want it gone - and a simple LIST VIEW back. ANY help VASTLY appreciated.
