How do I sort music in the iTunes library by Genre followed by Year instead of Artist Name?

I am currently using the iTunes Library to organize my music. I find that the library by default arranges music into folders by Artist Name. Is there any way to first make it arrange the music by Genre and then by Year instead of Artist Name within the folders? Since I have music in different languages and use this music in other music software as well, sorting by Genre will be extremely helpful. I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in Advance!

Sorry, I missed part 2. Unless CS4.2 has added a true "Group" function, like in InDesign, Illustrator, etc., there is not a direct way to keep Selected Clips together. However, you can put them on their own Sequence and then Nest that Sequence with others. This is often done, so that one can apply Effects "globally" to that Nested Sequence. [Note: there is no real Group function in Titler either, but for many operations, one can Select multiple Text Blocks, Shapes, Lines, etc., but there is no way to permanently "hold" that group.]
The Alt-click in the Project Panel, for instance, will allow one to drag all to the Timeline, and the Shift-click (or lasso w/ Cursor) in the Timeline will allow one to apply certain things to that group, but the moment that any other Clip is Selected, that "group," does not exist.
I can see a use for a real Group function, but for things like the application of Effects, one would still need to do the Nesting. Test this out by Selecting just two Clips, and go to apply an Effect - you cannot do that. OTOH, one can apply an Effect to one Clip, Rt-click it and choose Copy, then Select multiple Clips and Rt-click on those, where you would Paste Attributes. Not exactly what I think you are asking about, but the results, with just a few clicks, should be the same.
If I missed your intent and need, let me know where I went wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How do I relink music in the itunes library to the actually media. I can do one at a time but I need to do a group relink?

    How do I relink music to the acually media (mp3) file in iTunes? I can do it one at a time by click on the music file then find the actual music file and it relinks.But I need to do this to 300 files. How do I do a group relink. These file are all from cds that have imported into itunes. You used to be able to do a group relink now it only lets you do one at a time

    Are all your media files in the same place, or do you keep them in different places on your hard-drive.
    For group batching, I've simply gone to the Preferences and set my iTunes library location to the folder where all my media files live. It will crank through the folder and add anything that is not added yet.
    The other thing to do is to clear out your iTunes off all media, then drag-and-drop the 300 files into it to relink the lot.

  • How do I transfer music from my itunes library  to my wife's on the same computer?

    How do I transfer music from my itunes library to my wife's on the same computer? I am trying to put the music that is on my phone on her phone.

    Has she transferred iTunes content to her iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer or from a different iTunes library on the same computer?
    If not, you transfer music to her iPhone from your iTunes library in the same way the music was transferred to your iPhone. If she has any iTunes content on her iPhone that was transferred from a different iTunes library, all iTunes content on her iPhone will be erased first.

    How do I sort songs in the iTunes store?  You used to be able to click on the column header to sort the column (ie Popularity)?

    It seems this is a "backwards" upgrade from Apple in their iTunes 11 release....like you, I used to use that function in the iTunes store to sort through and decide which song version to purchase.   (For a large returned list of songs...see all...then sort by any of the headers, including Popularity...this functionality is now gone.)  
    The iPad always suffered from this...was never able to sort on those same column headers with an iPad.   It seems, this new iTunes release killed that functionality on the Mac as well.
    Just one of the few things that went wrong with number 11!
    Better luck next time,

  • The computer that I first used to download iTunes is no more. I have a new computer that I set my wife up on.  While I can see all my music in the iTunes library I cannot sync my iPod

    The computer that I first used to download iTunes, to buy songs and to sync my iPod Nano to iTunes is no more.  I have a new computer that I inadvertently set my wife up on.  When I sign in, while I can see all my music in the iTunes library, when I tried to 'sync', I have lost all my music in my iPod and I now have my wife's library on there instead.
    I subscribed to iTunes Match, thinking that this would help.  It hasn't and I'm not happy!
    I have arranged to take my iPod into an Apple store next Tuesday but isn't there something you can tel me to do that ties my iPod wth my music and leaves my wife's music for her iPod?  Please help, I am so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this, reinstalling iTunes, restoring my iPod....
    Can anyone help?

  • I'm trying to figure out how to add my music to my iTunes Library..?

    I have an iPod Classic, almost full of music... I'm trying to figure out how to add my music to my iTunes Library (so I can then sync with my iPhone). When I try to sync, it gives me an alert: Are you sure you want to sync? All existing content will be removed and replaced with songs from your iTunes Library. How can I add my songs? I don't mind backing my files up and restoring my iPod, but I can't even find how to do that. Please help?! Thanks.

    Are you using Mac or Windows?
    With Mac you can click file on the top left, on the dropdown box 'Add to Library...'
    With Windows you could have the folder with the music in open, and simply drag it into iTunes.
    Or simply stick the CD into the computer and let it do it's work
    If you want to backup, it should already do it for you, then once your iPod has been restored it lets you choose from the backups that iTunes has created. That's just me though it may not be the case for you.
