How do I keep music organized by disc when adding as a folder?

I have a digital music library which consists of many live recordings and albums which are comprised of multiple discs.  Each album or live show has a folder which is named as the name of the album or date of show.   For multiple disc shows and albums within the parent folder, a folder exists for each disc and these folders are named disc 1 disc 2 disc 3 etc.   Within each disc folder reside the tracks which all follow the format of number (01,02,03 etc) and name.  I would like to be able to import each parent folder by using the add folder to library option under file but when i do the music becomes sorted by file name instead of by disc number.  If I use the add folder method and select the individual disc (disc 1 or disc 2 etc) then I can easily edit info and label the selection as disc 1 of 3 (or whatever)  Is there a way to add these folders labeled disc 1 disc 2 etc as multiple discs all at once by adding the parent folder and have itunes retain their order by disc instead of smooshing them together by file name?

  • How do I keep music on my iPhone vs iCloud? (It keeps disappearing)

    How do I keep music that I downloaded to my iPhone from disappearing after a period of time?  I recently purchased some music from iTunes on my iPhone (running iOS 8) and downloaded the music. A week or so later I went to play the music and found that it was no longer on the iPhone but could be downloaded from iCloud. However, I was driving in an area without sufficient wireless coverage - and that downloading would count against my monthly plan.  It had all been previously downloaded over WiFi.
    It seems like Apple is trying to "help" me by taking music I haven't played for a bit and taking that off my phone to free up space... or something like that.
    I have NOT synced my phone with iTunes in a long while, and someone suggested I need to do that and set up songs in playlists so that they stay on my iPhone. That just seems like a lot of work.
    I just want to purchase music, download it, and have it stay on my iPhone!  Any ideas how I can stop the music from being removed?
    thank you!

    The only reason music is removed is if the phone runs out of memory needed by some other function. Check your available memory; if it is very low that is what is happening.

  • How do I re-load the  osx Disc when PC is just white blank screen

    How do I re-load the  osx Disc when PC is just white blank screen

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

    How do I download music from my iCloud when I deleted it from my site and "hid" it in my iCloud.

    Deleted it from what site?
    Media should be stored on your computer.
    What do you mean it is "hid" on iCloud?  There is no way to hide media although it is possible to hide purchases in the purchase history.

    I'm not sure how it works on your iPad, but once the email has been downloaded onto my iPad, I can read them even in Airplane mode with WiFi disabled. I don't see the images that are in the emails, but I can read the messages. I have one POP account and three IMAP accounts and it works for all four accounts.
