How do I view my albums by year on my iPod Touch

Hi, I would like my albums to be displayed in chronological order on my iPod.
It is very annoying seeing all your albums in alphabetical order for large discographies like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, or Van Morrison for example.
All my albums have "Year" tags recognised by iTunes so "Album by Year" works perfectly, but how do I do this on my iPod?
For example, my Beatles albums are displayed like this:
Abbey Road
A Hard Day's Night
Beatles For Sale
etc.
When infact, they should be like this:
Please Please Me (released 1963)
With The Beatles (released 1963)
A Hard Day's Night (released 1964)
etc.
I think Apple's software & products are quite innovative, so surely there must be a simple way to do this!
On another note - how do you just VIEW the year of an album on your iPod? I can't seem to find it!
Many thanks
Tom

Tom -
You could probably do something like this by screwing around in iTunes a bit. I know in previous versions if you held the alt button and clicked the "create new playlist" button you would get a bunch of options for setting up dynamically generated playlists.
So, just an idea, you could set one up to organize by year...

  • I added 2 cd's to itunes 11, I have an ipod classic 30gb, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

    Hi Ihave an ipod classic 30gb, i imported 2 cd's into itunes on win xp pro sp3, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

    It depends on how you previously added content to the iPod?  Or are saying the iPod is currently empty, and you want to add these albums to it?
    If you want to sync your entire iTunes music library to the iPod, which may or may not be just these two albums at this point, you can do the following.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  If you are using the latest iTunes 12, you do this by clicking the "device button" on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top).  The button's icon looks like the connected device.
    On the iPod's screen, there is a sidebar (along left side of window).  In the sidebar, under Settings, click Music.  To the right, the iPod's Music settings screen is shown, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.  Near the top, there is a checkbox for Sync Music.  Check that box to enable automatic syncing.  NOTE:  If that box is not already checked, checking it will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your iTunes library.  Any songs on the iPod now that are not in your current iTunes library will be lost.
    Below that setting, there are two options for how to sync songs.  30GB is a decent amount of storage space, so if your entire iTunes library can fit on your iPod, you can use the option to sync Entire music library.  Then click Apply.  iTunes syncs your entire iTunes music library to your iPod.  Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library (such as adding more albums or songs) will sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected).
    If your situation is different, please reply back with more details.

  • How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?

  • How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch?

    How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch? For instance: I don't want the app "Stocks" to appear on my screen any more. Is there a way to delete/hide it?

    The built in Apps can't be deleted, but they can be moved to an unused screen. You could create a folder of all unused Apps and move it.

  • How do I move my notes in the "On My IPod Touch" folder to the "iCloud" folder?

    How do I move my notes in the "On My IPod Touch" folder to the "iCloud" folder?  I don't see where or how they are being backed up and want to make sure that they transfer to my new device.

    Hi,
    I will recommend you to get a Mobile Me account, it can sync multi devices like an iPod Touch / iPad / iPhone, of course, included your computer flawlessly.
    For details, you can refer:
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
    If you not prefer to get a Mobile Me account, you can sync both devices by using computer.
    First of all, make sure the iPod Touch have not been ever synced by other computer. Otherwise, all the notes and contacts in your iPod Touch will be replaced by your computer information. (or iTunes will ask you to merge all the info, some data lost may occur.)
    Connect your iPod Touch to the computer, in the iTunes, your connected iPod Touch will be shown on the left column, select it, on the right hand side is showing your iPod Touch details. Then, select "Info" tab (on top), check "Sync Address Book Contacts" and "Sync notes" in the "Other" section. Then click "Sync"
    Suppose the selected / checked option will be synced. After sync is complete, eject your iPod Touch, connect your iPad, do the same setting as you did for your iPod Touch, and sync it.
