How do I listen to a whole album

I have to play individual tracks. How can I play a whole album or create a play list on my new iPad?

Make sure Preferences, General, View (Edit > Preferences on PC) "Show list checkboxes" is unchecked.
Albums will then play normally then by just clicking them in Songs or Albums views.

How do I listen to just one album in a box set?

If I load a large box set of CDs into iTunes, I seem to have one of two choices for how to click 'play'. One is to click the master play button, which starts the box set on CD1, track1. The other is to click on one of the tracks in the box set - usually track1 if I want to hear that particular CD. The problem is that neither of these options allows me to listen to one CD by itself - with iTunes stopping after the CD is finished. It just rolls into the next CD and keeps playing.
Album view is cool in that it plays an album just like a CD - ie, iTunes stops after the album is done.
But the box set feature doesn't seem to allow this. Wherever you click from, it will play through to the end of the box set.
Has anyone figured out how to play just one CD in iTunes when it's part of a large box set?

Thanks for the reply, Curt. Sounds like you're aware of what I'm saying and that you're not aware of a way to do it either. Yep, I know about changing the album name and then having all 40 different albums from a boxed set in album view, all with the same artwork. That doesn't work for me.
I don't think boxset-view (or whatever we call it) is really effective unless there is both a master play button at the top of iTunes to play through the whole box ... AND dedicated play buttons next to each album - which will allow each album to be heard individually.
That, to me, is a common-sense feature that's long overdue. I guess there are not enough boxset users for iTunes developers to make that a priority.
I was just asking if anyone knew how to do it ... some button I'm not aware of or something.

How to export and import a whole album?

I know you can export files in an album as files but how can you export the album as a whole and then import that into another machines iphoto.

Robert:
Select the album and uses the Share->Burn Disk option. That will create an iPhoto organized disk that will show up in the source pane of the other Mac's iPhoto library (like this). All you need to do is drag the album icon under the disc icon onto the library icon and that album will be copied into that library as a new roll. Actually, as I recall, if you drag the album icon into the Source pane it will be copied as a new album and roll.

HT1849 a single album I already bought can work with the whole album using 'Complete my album'?

I already bought a single album of MUSE (Survival - Single)
and I wanted to buy the whole album of MUSE (The 2nd Law)
then I realized that I could buy other songs except for 'Survival' for $10.7 using 'Complete My Album' (Original price is $11.9)
so I bought 'The 2nd Law' album for $10.7. but there isn't 'Survival' on the 'The 2nd Law' album playlist.
single album and whole album are seperated on the playlist. how I get the whole album playlist??
Do I have to buy 'Survival' in the whole album's list to make perfect 'The 2nd Law' album playlist??
plase help me.

I have this exact same question / issue too and it is definitely something I would LOVE to see Apple fix ASAP. It is especially important to me because so many popular artists release Singles (as Single Albums) weeks or even months in advance of their full album coming out. When I have the choice, I ALWAYS prefer to buy a single song from the album it is on (in case I like the song a lot and want to check out more from that artist) - however, this is often not possible due to the "Single Album" phenomenon. Sidenote: could you just freakin' get rid of Single Albums altogether (when there is an associated real album)? They clutter up the See All Albums view horribly - at least give us a filter or something for the real-deal studio albums vs all the junk.
While it is great that I get "credit" for my purchase from the Single Album towards the real Album (thanks for that Apple), I personally have a strong preference to then see the original single as part of the album instead of as a stand-alone. It's just cleaner organization-wise, easier from a usability standpoint (you can actually listen to the whole album you bought using the album filter!), etc. It would at least be nice to have the choice to "convert" the original single to the Album version, if Apple is concerned about forcing the change (I personally would be happy with a forced change, but if given a choice would always convert).
Please fix this!!!
My example:
-Bought Calvin Harris, "Feel So Close (Radio Edit)" back in March '12 (I think it was released in August '11) for $1.29
-Completed My Album by buying "18 Months" album for $8.70 recently (released Oct 30, 2012)
-Was happy to pay $8.70 instead of $9.99 (got full credit for the $1.29 I spent on the single) - good job Apple
-Am now frustrated that "Feel So Close (Radio Edit)" has different Album info, different Album cover art etc - BAD job Apple
Would love to hear that this is going to be addressed soon - hopefully with a retroactive converter tool too??
PS I realize I could manually adjust the metadata for the track to make it match, but I HATE the idea of doing that. Very clunky solve and I personally would be worried that I missed something or didn't "fully" change everything, the underlying file is not exactly what I would have gotten from the full album version, etc.

Can't listen to just one album.

When I have the normal CD album in iTunes, it stops playing when the album is finished. It doesn't start playing the next album.
But if I have a box set of several CDs in iTunes in multi-album mode (with one album art for all six albums), then finishing one album causes iTunes to automatically start playing the next one.
I'm not using iTunes for background music. I listen intently to whole albums and I want that experience of having an album play from beginning to end and then stopping.
I don't want to have to create a playlist for every multi-album box set CD I've got in iTunes. Am I missing something? Shouldn't I be able to play a single album without it then just moving into the next one?
The only solutions I've seen elsewhere is to create a playlist or to use only column view for selecting albums. I'm really enamored with album art view and prefer to use stick with that. Am I out of luck? Can't imagine why Apple wouldn't program a button at each album in a multi-album box set so you can click that album and that album only ... not keep playing continuously.

How about trying the up next feature when playing your multi disc sets. Start play first track then select the rest of album and add to up next.
When you view what is on next up you can clear tracks that you do not wish to play after current album is complete. if you know which album you want to listen to next, you can add complete albun to up next.

The large text size makes your post almost impossible to read.
Excessive use of bold or capitals (also) makes posts difficult to read.
You can drag most of the column headings left or right, or right-click on the header to turn columns on or off.

TS1424 Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

Only partial songs downloaded when I purchased an album. How do I fix this without having the buy the whole album again?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

How can I gift a single song (i.e. not the whole album) to a friend?

If you're trying to do this from an iOS device, you can't. You'll need to use iTunes on a computer to be able to give a single song. If you are using a computer, tell us what OS and iTunes it's running and where you're encountering difficulty and we'll try to help further.
Regards.

Can't figure how to select a whole album to upload to Flickr. If I select all the photos in an album, the photos upload but not my titles.

Export the photos out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option to a folder on the Desktop. Then drag the folder onto the disk icon on the Desktop and burn. Be sure to select the Kind, qualtiy and size of the file you need.
