How do I address songs to a different album than on the computer?

I've just bought the new Iphone 3G but have hardly used Itunes before, that's why I need some (perhaps for you beginners) help.
I've got plenty of albums and I do not want to have all songs on all albums in my phone. That's why I want to create a couple of new albums with my favourite songs from different artist and add to my other albums on the phone. My problem is that I do not want to change the info about what album the song belongs to on my computer, only on the Iphone.
For example: I want to create an album with "the best of Faith no more" and I want it to contain 2 songs ("Ashes to Ashes" from the album "Album of the year" and "Epic" from the album "The Real Thing"). I want the new album (in my Iphone) to appear like any other album when I go through the cover flow (with a specific image, here is my first problem due to two different images on the two songs). Moreover I still want the song "Ashes to Ashes" belong to the album "Album of the year" on my computer (and that it has the image shown from the same album), but not on my Iphone (here it's supposed to belong to "the best of faith no more" and have a suiting image for my new album).
The only solution I can come up with is to make different playlists, but then they will not be shown in cover flow will they!?
When I have synchronized the music I can not edit the songs on the Iphone... so it seems I have to do, what ever I have to do, on my computer before I synchronize... :-/ (on my girlfriends iPod you can edit your songs on the iPod after you've synched, but not on my iPhone it seems...)
How do I solve my problem?
Cheers!

Yes, but that is not what I want. I want them to appear with my "custom made" album in cover flow on my phone. But still I want them to belong to it's original album on my computer...
I just want to gather some songs from an artist and put it all to one album without changing the album information (on the songs that are still on my computer)where it comes from!
Perhaps that isn't posible!? it is posible with my girlfriends iPod so I thought it would be with my iPhone as well

  • How can I put songs of a different album together?

    I've got an album and I'm trying to put a missing song in the same group, but iTunes keeps separating it.

    This can be done...because I've done it. There's just something in your tag info that needs to be fixed.
    Check Album Artist field and make sure it's the same on all tracks. Also look at year of release, disc x of x, etc. And make sure the track x of x info has the correct ending track number.

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

    I am unable to play certain songs since itunes wants me to authorize the computer with an old email address I had when I first bought the songs. I don't remember that password and when I use my present Apple id and password it doesn't authorize the computer to play those songs. How do I get these songs authorized since there are a lot of them?

    Purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.

  • How can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

  • HT1473 If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?

    Other details:
    First album/s- Dookie (Green Day), american idiot (green day)
    and 21st century breakdown (green day)
    Album with same songs in it- international super hits (green day)

    If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?
    Yes.
    The album which the song has been listed under (on the song's page) is listed in your library under that album. The song is then removed automatically from the first album
    No it's not.
    Purchasing a new song or album will not affect any other song or album in your library.
    In the case of the two albums you mention, if you purchase them both, you will have the same song (different copies) in both albums.

  • HT1660 My itunes library has automatically started to list my songs alphabetically.  I do not want this.  How do I change it so that when albums come up, the songs are listed in the order of the imported album, NOT alphabetically.

    For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

    I can't do it that way. I erase these songs from the iTunes Library, but when I sycronize the iPhone, all these songs are copied again to the Library. Isn't there any way to stop that? Everything I buy on iTunes Store through my iPhone cannot be erased from the iPhone?
    WHY can't you do it the way 100 million people do it?

  • How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

    How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

    It depends on your car stereo. On the JVC we have you can select either "Head Mode" or "iPod Mode" when you're plugged into the USB port. Ipod Mode lets you select the songs from the iPod although the radio still controls the volume. I believe the Alpine I have does the same thing.

    iTune doesn't seem to be able to get this done...

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. They will all transfer songs but if I recall, only iPodCopy also does videos.
