In i tunes, how can I assemble or group existing "songs" to form an album?

You can make a playlist.
You can click on the song or highlight the group and click File>Get Info and give them all the same album name.

A new album purchase downloaded each song as an individual album, each with its own album cover. How do I consolidate all songs under just one album cover like the rest of my library? How did this happen?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
BTW, are you really still using Windows 2000?

How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12

How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12 i know in other versions it was via get info but as all of the tunes have the same album title , I am not sure what tio change to achieve this ?

I don't see your screenshot but I assume you're starting with something like this, i.e., the compilation split into multiple albums:
If you select all the items that you want to be in a single album, right-click > Get Info you'll see this:
As you say, in iTunes 12 you don't see a field to enter a distinct Album Artist value. You can, however, address this by clicking the Add Field button and selecting Album Artist:
That makes the field available in the metadata dialog so that you can enter the required value:
You can also show the pre-iTunes 12 version of the dialog by holding the SHIFT key when selecting Get Info - this allows you to enter the Album Artist directly:

Why won't iTunes group songs from a compilation album together

Most of my CDs are compilation trance CDs. iTunes ignores the facts that they all come from the same album and groups them by composer instead, forcing me to create playlists for songs that should be grouped together. This occurs even for albums purchased as albums from the iTunes store. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just poor programming?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For compilation albums set Album Artist to Various Artists and Part of a compilation to Yes.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

How could I put many song in only one album view?

I saved a lot of folders with many songs from my PC to my laptop. When I put all of these songs into my Music Library, It happens that many songs of the same album appears as if they were separated albmus, so my cover flow view has many "albums" that are only one song.
How can I Put these songs together again?
Thanks a lot

How does one drag a song to a new album?

How does one drag a song from one album and drop it into another album?
Many of the mp3 files that I use are ones that I create myself for my students. It would be great if I could drag them into the correct album without having to type in the information (very tedious).
I am new to Mac from Windows and I can't discern how to accomplish re-assigning albums in the manner that I was able to previously using Windows Media Player.
Any suggestions or perhaps different workflow suggestions?

I'm a high school music teacher and a lot of the tracks are student-created (or instructor-created). It has always been easier for me to leave the mp3 tag "unknown" and then drag them to the appropriate album in Windows Media Player.
I actually took something from your reply that I think will work well. By adding newly created files to a playlist, I could select them and then edit the tag data every few days by selecting all of the items in the playlist (I think that will work!).

You can't currently create new albums, or move photos between albums, directly on the iPad - it has to be done on your computer prior to syncing them.

Not all songs from an artist are available in the artist tab as some songs are from compilation albums. is their any fix for this?

In the Artist tab, I am unable to see all the songs I have for that artist under their name. It looks like the artist tab is organised by album artist so therefore any artist I have on a compilation album can only be found under various artists. Is there any way around this, cause its the only thing thats ******* me off about the new ITunes.

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 group all songs with exclamation marks

Not easily, use iTunes Folder Watch and set it's option to check for dead tracks on start-up.

How do I put mislabelled songs back in the album they belong in iTunes?

I stupidly allowed a software program to "clean" my iTunes library, and it created albums for single tracks of other albums which it mislabelled entirely. I don't know how to relabel correctly and make the albums whole again. Relatedly, this same POS took second CD's of two CD sets (especially in my classical collection) and identified them as differect performances and put them non-sequentially, and I would like to correct this condition as well. Thanks for the help.

Just find the Skype application in the Applications folder and drag it back onto the Dock, anywhere to the left of the gap.
Regards.

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.

Songs from same album not grouped together.

Hello,
I just received a new ipod nano (the new ones) as a gift and all though i love it i am having some troubles with Itunes 7,
the first problem is that iTunes does not group some songs from the same album together, I made sure that all the album details are the same but still I tunes separates certain songs from the album, In case I am not clear here is a link to a screen shoot:
http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/188/ssngtud2.jpg
As you can see some songs from System of a downs album "Steal this album" are arranged as separate songs, how can I change this?
A second problem I have encountered is with compilation specifically with classical music, ITunes slashes the 10 track album into 10 separate songs, although I marked them all as a part of a compilation and set the preferences to display compilations, screen shots;
http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/2387/ndctt6.jpg
1. Is there any way ITunes can display these tracks together?
2. If I move this album to my IPod (after setting it to display compilations) will it show them together as one album?
Thanks for your help in advance

For your first problem, make absolutely certain that there are no hidden spaces at the end of the Artist or Album fields. Also check track number of and disk number of fields. Finally, and this may be most likely, make sure that you use the same Album Artist for each song (blank, or System of a Down).
For the second issue, make sure all songs on the album are marked as "Part of a Compilation", then sort your library as "Album by Artist" (you may need to click the Album header a few times to see that). The Compilations will then be bumped to the bottom of your library. On your iPod, turn Compilations ON to see similar grouping of compilations.
