How do I get all the songs into one album when it's various artisits?

I have several albums that are made up of various artists, not just one. How do I get all the artists under the one heading of the album?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For compilations use Various Artists and also got the options tab and set Part of a compilation to Yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod? If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

I used to have this problem.
First, you need to go back on iTunes
you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
Click the album so all the songs drop down
Right click the songs that have this problem
Click ' Get info '
Click the tab that says " info '
The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
as such,
ARTIST
JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
ALBUM ARTIST
JAY-Z
These should be separate for each artist
If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

How do i get all my songs of one album together under one album artwork

how do i get all my songs of one album together under one album artwork some are ok and some are all over the place

If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them (Choose File > Library > Consolidate Library). When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Consolidating your library - Windows

HT1473 Sometimes when I copy a CD into iTunes all of the songs do not show y up in one album, but mutiple albums, all with the same name. Is there an easy way to get all of the songs into one album.

Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums?

How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums when the artist has many collaborators on the different songs, for example Timbaland? I want to just listen to the full album with all the songs, instead of having to play every song separately.

For your solution, see Steve MacGuire's helpful article: http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp

I recently upgraded to a macbook pro after my old pc laptop crashed, is there a way to ensure that I can get all the songs off my iPhone when I sync?

There's some third party applications available. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
Certainly you did not reinstall your OS without making sure your backup copy was current.

When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album? When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order. So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

How can I play all the songs in one genre in iOS7's music app?

Suppose you want to listen to only blues music. In the music app in iOS 7 I can't find a way to select all the songs from one genre. When you select "genre" it takes you to a list of artist in that genre but there's no way to select all the songs. In previous iOS all you had to do was select "all artist" and then "play all songs". In iOS 7 I can't seem to find that option. I've tried using Siri but if the genre of music you have is not in English then Siri won't understand. Also Siri only works if it's connected to a network. What if your not connected and you want to listen to just Blues. Is this option not in the music app in iOS 7 or am I over looking something?

Found the workaround... you are correct, this option was available in prior versions and now it is not.
In any Music app view scroll to the top to unveil the search box.
Search for your genre.
Search results will show all artists matching your query, and if you scroll above that there is a 'Shuffle All Songs' option.

When i put a cd into my itunes library sometimes it does not get stored under the same cover. sometimes stored under 3 or 4 different icons. what can i do to prevent this. how do i get all the songs back under the same kicon in one place? help would be a

sometimes when i put a new cd into my itunes libray all the songs do not end up under the same icon. sometimes it will go into the library under 3 or 4 different icons (album artwork) and sometimes if there are for example 12 songs on the cd each song goes under a separate icon.this seams to happen more frequently with cd's that have different artists on one disc and not just one artist performing all the songs.
is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
is there a way to go into my library and get them put back under one icon as it should have been? i have tried drag and drop and it will not work.
thanks to anyone that can offer some help

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

HT2905 I have duplicate albums but no duplicate songs. One song showing in one album, the restof the songs in a duplicate album. How do I get them to merge into one album?

I have duplicate albums but no duplicate songs. One song showing in one album, the rest of the showing in a duplicate album. Album, artist, genre all identical. how can I get these albums to merge together into one album?

Change the album title to AlbumX, apply, then change back to Album. Repeat as necessary.

How can I play all the songs on an album in my wish list?

In a previous version of iOS, I could click on an album in my wish list, then click to preview all the songs in the album consecutively. I seem to have lost this option now. I am using iOS8.

Hi there - don't know what is happening on your Touch as it does play albums in order - when you click on an album to play it, the very first option is shuffle - make sure you do not click on this - but click on the first track name.
If you have clicked on it once - it seems to stay on - to solve/check this - click on a song, and wait for the cover to come into view. On the top bar, on the right hand side while the song is playing - you will see the little shuffle icon (arrows crossing). If this is blue then shuffle is selected. Click on it to turn it off (white). Now go back to the album lists and all should be in order?
Let us know if this works.
