How do I get Itunes to properly import a cd without making a different album for each song..

I try to import my cds, and everytime it features another artist it creates a new album for that song... how do I get it to imort the album and show as just the album name...

Hi
All my tracks are MP3.
In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column. If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

In Cover Flow, a compilation album shows different covers for each song. How do I make it show one cover for the whole album?

Also in the first page of Get Info for all tracks set the Album Artist to be Various Artists.
If you select all the tracks and right click to get info then you can do all the tracks in one go

How can i get iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music

I have a new lap top with vista ultimate. I can't get it to "see" the music stored on the server, so my iTUnes on the lap top is blank.
How can i get my iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music?
someone mentioned creating an alias on the server and then dragging that onto the c: drive iTunes folder?
Can anyone help me?

They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

When I import a CD album that includes songs with co-artists, the album is saved once with all of the songs with the main artist only, and then one album for each song with a different co-artist. How can I avoid that or fix that result after the fact.

When I import a CD ablum that includes songs with co-artists, the album is saved once under the album name with all the songs from the main artist; then each song with a different co-artist is saved separately under the album title with just that song. Who do I prevent that or fix it after the fact, i.e., copy the single songs to the main album?

Some Albums on iTunes separate into one album for each song on iPod

Some of my albums, imported from CD's, show up properly on iTunes. After the sync, each song in the album shows up on the iPod Touch as a separate album with the one song. All the songs on the album are "ticked" in the iTunes list before the sync.

How can I put a contact in two or more Address Books without making a 'new contact' for each?

I would like to put several of my contacts in more than one Address Book; but, if I move them (drag'n'drop) from one they no longer remain in the original Book...which I want. I'd like to segregate different interest groups and file them in separate Address Books, but many of my contacts fit in several Address Book identities. Any solution to keep from having to make whole new contact addresses for existing contacts? Thanks for any help you might offer..... NJR

If I want to copy a contactl to another address-book I simly hold down the ctrl-key when I drag and drop

How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

Hi Dr. Ron,
By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
Cheers,
GB

How do I get iTunes to match what is actually on PC? (some old songs remain)

I deleted a bunch of songs on my PC. They are gone for good, as I emptied my Recycle Bin. ........But iTunes still keeps these files in the Library. How do I get iTunes to clean-up the Library?
If you click on the deleted songs it can't find the song, obviously. So why does iTunes keep teh file?

iTunes does not retain the files, what you are seeing is the library database.
Here is how you can reomve them.
Using a playlist to collect dead tracks.
Create new regular playlist – Playlist1
Select whole library and *drag* to Playlist1
Create new Smart Playlist with the rule: Playlist is not Playlist1
Live updating checked – after you run it, uncheck live updating or you may not be able to delete tracks.
This playlist should contain all the dead tracks
Use shift-del to remove from library
This method may not work if your lirbary is very large.
If so use the "removenotfound" script here:

How do I get itunes do find all my music?

iTunes cannot locate multiple files from my library; they have not moved or changed. How do I get itunes do find all my music again. There are over 15,000 songs in my library - about half have an exclamation mark in my playlists.

Hmm, not sure I understand how that might have happened. It seems as if the media folder has been pointed to the wrong level, put in a pre-iTunes 9 layout and then updated. All the <Artist> folders should be moved from iTunes to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music. Assuming iTunes moved the files around the filenames should be as expected. WMP, for example. might use different character substitutions for illegal characters and can user longer file and folder names. If anything remains broken FindTracks can take up the slack.

I imported a cd that I purchased and I can't get it to sync to my phone. All the songs have a grey circle in front of them and the names of the songs are grey as well. How do I get iTunes to see them so they can sync to my iPhone?.

I've imported 3 cd's to my iTunes, but they continue to be "grey-ed out" with a dotted grey circle in front of them. The music will not sync to my iPhone. How do I get iTunes to recognize them so that they will sync?

Thanks Chris CA.
In the Gen 4 they offer "Settings" then "Reset Settings" Then it asks, "Do you want to reset your iPod?" I click on "reset" but then nothing resets. :-( This is what makes me think it might be locked or something....

How do I get iTunes to read and import track information?

How do I get iTunes to read and import track information from compilation CDs? Typically, the compilations have been burned to disk using iTunes or Toast 8 Titanium. I have checked data boxes as available with both softwares. My REGA Planet CD player as well as my car CD player can read the track info but neither my nor my friends' iTunes can read the tracks for importing.

I don't believe that iTunes can read CDText.

HT1727 How do i get itunes to recognize music imported into the file structure?

How do I get iTunes to recognize music imported into the file structure?

Press Alt or Ctrl+B to reveal the menu bar if needed.
Use File > Add Folder to Library if you just want to import it.
If you're trying to relink broken entries in a library with the corresponding media then some more details would help.
