How do I rip all songs from a CD into one folder consistently ?

Hello,
Newbie iTunes user. ITunes occassionally does not put all songs in the same folder when ripping a CD. For example, when ripping Alicia Keys Unplugged, a few of the songs (the duets, featuring "x" artist) are placed in separate folders. This a big inconvenience particularly in the future when I rip my 500+CDs completely.
Also, why do some discs get placed in a "compilation" folder (ie Movie soundtracks).
All I want is for ALL CDs to be ripped into separate folders; first grouped by artist and then subgrouped by album, ALL the time. Also, I want to eliminate any album placed into the compilation folder.
Is this possible? What settings do I specify? Any other tips. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the responses.
Just confirming: It appears the best way to rip CDs with iTunes (as I desire) is to first edit info before ripping. Then we can specify info as I feel appropriate.
To do this, I go to Preferences/Advanced/Importing, and select ON CD INSERT "SHOW CD" or "ASK TO IMPORT CD"?
I previously had the setting set to "IMPORT CD".
Then check Album info and make sure artist and album info is the same for each song and edit if necessary.
Then I go to the CD (under Devices), and right click, "Get info". Edit genre. I don't want anything to go into the compilation folder, but I do want all songs from one album to stay in one folder. Should I check "compilation CD"?
Then how do I import?
I appreciate any info. For an Apple product, iTunes is not as intuitive as it should be (at least in my opinion).
Thanks.

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

How can I sync my songs from my computer into i schuffle?

How can I sync my songs from my computer into i schuffle? After I have pressed Sync, the iTunes screen showed completed sync but nothing change in the i-Schuflle.
Further the i Schuffle player has a voice saying I have to sync. But I did.
Can anyone help?

You probably need to set up (or update) automatic syncing. If there is nothing new to sync, based on your sync settings in iTunes, the syncing process just starts and stops in a few seconds.
Find the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and select it there. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the shuffle selected in iTunes, there is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. You can choose to sync Entire music library, if your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle. With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the shuffle, and new songs get synced automatically. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the shuffle from the lists below. If you want newly added songs to sync to the shuffle, they must be part of your selection. For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the shuffle.
When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle. Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the shuffle's Music screen) sync automatically to the shuffle, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).

Copy the songs to a computer that is running iTunes, add those new tracks to the current library, and then synch those tracts to the iPod.

How to get the selection parameters from logical database into one of the t

Hi Sap ABAP Champians,
How to get the selection parameters from logical database into one of the tab in the tabstrip selection-screen.
Please help me for this
Thanks
Basu

Hi
Thanks, that will work, but then I'll have to insert code into all my reports.
I can see that "Application Server Control Console" is able to rerun a report.
This must mean that the Report Server has access to the runtime parameters.
But how?
Cheers

How can I delete all songs from iCloud library?

Hi,
I have a strange issue and couldn't really find any information about this on Google, so I thought I would try here. I'm kind of surprised this hasn't come up for other users yet (or maybe it has and I'm just missing it.)
I matched my iTunes library yesterday. About 60% of the songs were matched, 15% were uploaded and 25% were errored. I really like iTunes Match but I decided that I want to micromanage the library to get the best match results. To do this, I wanted to do the following:
1. Remove all songs from my iCloud library
2. Create a new iTunes library for use with iTunes
3. Add to the library, artist by artist to match/correct.
I began to do this in my new library and it was working fine. However I then decided to completely clear the old library, so I went into my original library, deleted all songs and definitely selected the option to delete from iCloud. I am 100% positive I did this. However, none of the songs deleted. They are not available in my original library (I have checked the option to display songs not on this computer) and they don't show up in my other library, either. I have no option to download the songs from iTunes on any computer, though I retain access from my iPhone.
So, I need to delete these songs from iCloud. It does me no good to have them there when they're so disorganized and especially when I can't access them from most of my iTunes enabled devices. I was thinking of calling Apple to see if they could clear my iCloud library but a. I'm not sure they will and b. I don't want to pay $29 to discuss this with them, as I feel it is an issue with iTunes Match/iCloud and should be complimentary.
I thought that maybe the songs would delete over time, since I know the iCloud servers are heavily taxed at the moment. However, it has been about 15 hours and there is absolutely no change. The iMatch section of iTunes shows that there are songs available, but none of them are; and since my plan is to reupload to iCloud anyway, that's fine--I just need to find out how to actually make the delete go through.
Thanks!

I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

Is there a way to download all songs from the cloud in one step?

Is there any way to download all my songs from the cloud in one step?

Ok, if you're wondering about an iOS device, there is no way to do that - you have to tap all of the cloud icons.
But I do have a workaround.
Store all the songs all locally on your Mac
Disable iTunes Match on your iOS device
Plug your iOS device into the computer (or this can be done with Wifi sync)
Sync all songs to your device
Now enable iTunes Match on your iOS device
You now have all songs stored locally on your iOS device and iTunes Match is enabled, so your metadata syncs over iCloud, and you no longer have to plug your device in to update its music library. :)

How can I play all songs from an artist in the ipad 2, with the new IOS 5?

in the music app (which was named ipod before the update for the IOS 5) I want to play all songs for a certain artist that have different albums, but I dont know how.
hope someone can help me

Actually, JinKL, doing a search from "Songs" is harder to do and does not give the exact same result. It's harder to do because I have to key an artist's name rather than pick one from a list. The results aren't the same for several reasons. If you key an artist name that matches a song, you get that song, too. OK, that doesn't happen THAT much, but it does happen. And if I key a partial name, say "Morrison" for "Van Morrison", I get all the songs on "Morrison Hotel" by the Doors.
"All Songs" should be added to the iPad music player. While they're at it, they should add column titles and allow allow sorting on the column values.

How do I remove all songs from my iPhone?

I have all artists, albums, genres and playlists unchecked on my Music on iTunes. I have no songs in the "manually added" section. But still my iPhone has 24 songs on it, that I can manually delete, but they are put back on when I sync my phone. If anyone has any idea how to get them off for good I would very much appreciate the help! Thanks!

Just uploaded the newest version of software on my I phone 4S and I uploaded all my songs from I Cloud which imported to my phone. I didn't want this to happen. So I deleted my I cloud account to see if that would take my songs off. It did but there are tweleve songs still left. I hooked my phone to my computer and I do have the newest version on my I tunes. There were no songs posted under music on my I Phone. Stumped there. Then I tried to manully erase them by touching and swiping. I was able to get two but the rest were a problem. I would swipe and it would take me to the song and start playing. Any ideas anyone to get rid of these songs?

How do you import all songs from a shared library?

I have 862 songs in my iTunes library on the family computer, and i would like to transfer them to my iTunes on my laptop. I already have home sharing on, and I can see the shared library on the iTunes on my laptop, but is there a way i can transfer all the songs from the shared library to the iTunes on my laptop without having to import each song on its own? Thank you in advance.

what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my iMac's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
once the homeshared library has loaded, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import.
now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting (highlighting) it and clicking the import button.
via settings, you can select which newly purchased content is transferred automatically to homeshared libraries

How can I play all songs from a genre in the new iOS 7

I used to select a genre in my music and played all songs randomly, now when I open a genre I can only play an album, not all the songs from a genre

How do I move all clips from an event into the edit line...

If I have an event of tons of clips that comprise an hour of footage, how can I select all of those clips at once from the event library and transfer them to the edit line above?
There is no Select All feature, that I can see, and it takes forever to highlight each chunk of clips, one at a time, and drag them up.
I'd like to drag the whole 1 hour's worth of clips in one event in my library up to the edit line at once.
Thanks!

Hi Rich,
I am trying to somehow "select all" clips, (not just all shots within a clip), but all 100 or so slips from an entire tape, from the first clip, to the last clip, and everything in between, and move them all up to the edit pane at once.
As it is now, I have to click on a thumbnail, select the entire clip, and move one clip at a time up to the edit pane.
I want to move all the clips up at once.
