How can I kepp all songs on the same album?
Some of my albums that have duets on them will show up as multiple albums when they were ripped from the same CD. Is there a way to make them all under the same album cover. I also have some artists that under an artist search will show up with multiple different headings of the same artist. I'm using the Ipod on a Kenwood car head unit.
I add it to the title as I've described, i.e. *Title \[Feat. Guest\]*. This means that all the information is still visible when playing the track in iTunes or on the iPod and can also be used when searching.
To fix things I set my library up in List view with the browser turned on and the columns arranged so that I could see both Artist & Album Artist. I then selected the first album in Album section of the browser to show it's tracks. Pressing the down arrow on the keyboard shows the next album. A brief glance will reveal if some tracks of the album have different artist values, in which case these can be fixed before moving on to the next album. It should take less than a second per album to confirm that it is properly formatted as your eyes will rapidly notice any inconsistency in the artist column. The process is only time consuming when you actually need to make some changes.
If two different artists have albums with the same album title, e.g. Greatest Hits, this also shows up when working methodically through this list. I've chosen to rename the albums in the form *Album - Artist* as this separates the albums, makes it clear in the browser which album is which and puts them in artist order. Another approach is adding different numbers of trailing spaces for each different album.

When importing songs of a same album but different artist iTunes will separate the artists. How can I bring all together in the same album?
Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

I have three different listings for Bob Seger on my iPod (Bob Seger, Bob Seger System and Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band) How can I put all 3 in the same artist folder without changing artist name?
Can you just create a new "Playlist", name it Bob Seger and drag what you want into the Playlist.

Does anyone know how to keep all songs in the same album when they say featuring someone?
Each time I load a CD onto Itunes that has an artist who features another artist on that particular song, it puts it in my library as a separate CD even though it will have the same album listed. For instance Lady Gaga's song just dance features Colby O'Donnis that song is in its own spot while the rest of the cd is together that one song is separate and I don't know how to keep them all together. Someone help.
Get the Informations for that song and have a look in the "Sorting" area if there is something different. The data inserted there is just for how iTunes will order the songs.
If the Interpret in the general informations is "Lady Gaga" and in the sorting area is "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx" than you'll see Lady Gaga as the interpret but it's sort to a second entry "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx". -
How can I make all my files the same volume???
I am a DJ and I want to make all of my files the same volume without losing too much sound quality. I dont just want them to play back the same volume on iTunes. I want them to all be the same volume when I burn them to a cd. As there a way to do this? Any help would be appreciated!
I want them to all be the same volume when I burn them to a cd.
If you mean Audio CD, check 'Use Sound Check' in Preferences>Advanced>Burning.
This will - kind of - 'normalize' the tracks and is supposed to bring them at the same volume.
I haven't tried this for a long time though (since iTunes 5, I think), because I was not satisfied with the results.
It could have improved now, so you could give it a try.
I use Jam (Roxio.com) to create my Audio CDs. It has a 'normalize' function that works well and you can also set the gain for each track manually.
You could also try the 'normalize' function of an audio editor like Audacity (freeware) or Sound Studio to alter the files permanently.
Hope this helps.

How can I kill all Threads of the same class from within the run() method?
Ok
I have a class called Consumer that extends Thread
I have several Consumer threans running... but, when a certain condition is true (within the run() method) in ANY of the threads, I want to kill ALL the threads of that object.
is this possible?I know this is gonna be too demanding, but can someone please tell me why my Consumer's run() method never reaches the System.out.println( "ALL CONSUMING DONE") line
Create a multi-threaded prime number calculator that is based on the producer-consumer model
using semaphores. Your program should be able to check for prime numbers in a range specified
by the user and with a variable number of threads. Example:
$ java PrimeFind 3 5000 10000
should use 1 producer and 2 consumers (3 threads in total, obviously the minimum is 2) to find all
the prime numbers in the range [5000,10000].
The producer should: use a buffer to store candidate numbers that have to be checked for
primality.
Consumers should: read from the buffer, check if a number is prime and update the status of the
program accordingly (e.g. show the number on the screen, or save it to a file)

BTW, when I tried to change extends Thread to implements Runnable I got some kinda of error.
Actually, my program is pretty complete... its just that something if messed up in my Consumer's run() method's while loop... I think
I know guys its crazy to ask ya'll to look at so much code, but.... I'd really appreciate it. This assignment is killing me, been at it since 10 hours now.... -

How to group artwork with songs from the same album in itunes
After you import a CD, how do you link all the tracks so they fall under the same artwork instead of having the same artwork for every track?
not sure if windows pane is same as OSX, but if open menubar>file>info, click on info tab, you should be able to set track order from there.

How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?
How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive
As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?
When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer. -
How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper? Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?
no - you simply have to select the option to print mucliples of a photo on a page
select the photo and go to the file menu ==> print - select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize - in the tool bar click on the settings icon (the gear looking thingy) and select "multiple of the same photo per page" and the preview will reflect this option showing a full page of the selected size photos
