How to arrange songs that iTunes separates by artist?

I recently purchased a CD from Schiller, which contains tracks by the artist but also collaborations (e.g. Schiller mit Kate Havenevik).
What is the easiest way for me to be able to play the disc in the order created?
itunes has created a Schiller entry with tracks 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 14. The other tracks (e.g.) are separated into different Artists.
Thank you!
Fred

Make sure all the Album artists are Schiller with Friends even if it is Just Schiller. If you apply this at the Album level all the tracks beneath it should inherit the values. But play around with these values until it looks like you want.
For the second part
Find out which folder iTunes is using by going to Preferences, Advanced
This will give you the folder. Make sure the two checkboxes underneath are ticked.
I suspect the iTubes is using the second folder. So now open finder and navigate to the iTunes folder. Drag the music files out of there into iTunes. It will import them and copy them to the folder it is using. When you have confirmed everything has copied over you can ditch the music files from the itunes folder

How to arrange songs in iTunes

Hello Everyone,
it have come to my notice for awhile that we are no longer able to arrange the order of our songs in iTunes playlist and could only sort it out by Artist names, Genre etc. Is there any solution out there I'm unaware of which could address this issue?
Secondly, i happen to realise that there is a bug when we tried to arrange the order of our songs in iTunes in iPhone, it would just mess up the whole playlist the moment we click "Done" is anyone experiencing this too?

You have tried clicking on the top of the column at the left? I don't have a new iTunes but from reading other posts it should still be the way it always has been.

How to recover song that are "lost", itunes can't find them even though I have downloaded and played them before

Does anyone know how to recover songs that itunes has "lost"?
I downloaded them, synced my ipod, songs were added and I was able to play them.
On a recent sync the songs are suddenly "not found" according to itunes. I can't locate them in the itunes folder, so I have no idea where itune put them. BTW-this is not the first time itunes stored songs in a random directory...... Since itune can't find them, they were deleted from my ipod

Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
Kind Regards

TS4124 I have over 200+ songs that iTunes deems Ineligible, how do I get them on my devices? I own the CD's!

Welcome to the Apple community.
You will need to work out why they are ineligible, are they the wrong format, are the file sizes simply too large or is the data rate at which the audio was iencoded too low.

Does anyone know how to delete songs that came with the iPhone 6 in the music?? i tried deleting them from iTunes but i couldn't.

does anyone know how to delete songs that came with the iPhone 6 in the music?? i tried deleting them from iTunes but i couldn't.

I know you already solved this but for future reference, there is also another setting to only keep songs downloaded to your device visible in music.
Go to Settings --> Music --> Show All Music and make sure it is turned off

Why is that in itunes my playlist is in order from the recently added to oldest but when it syncs into my ipod , it doesnt arrange it that way. its in artist order

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

How to download songs from ITunes Japan and France?

How to download songs from ITunes Japan and France with a credit card and address based in the US? The system appears to not allow downloads in that fashion. Please let me know if you have any details

This question is asked literally dozens of time a week in these forums, & I will answer, again. In order to purchase from any specific country's store, you will have to meet one of the following criteria:
1) Have a credit card from that country with a billing address in that country.
2) You may use an iTunes gift card purchased in that country, but the billing address rule still applies.
This rules are mandated by the record companies not Apple. The record companies do not care for cross-border sales.
As a new poster, just a suggestion, it might save you a little time if you use the "search" function in the upper right corner to see if your question has been asked previously. That way you don't have to wait on someone to come along to help you.

With your new computer, you'll download a fresh copy of iTunes and then authorize iTunes using your Apple ID and Password. Read the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
You can then connect your iPad to your new computer via USB cable and transfer your purchases (do not connect your iPad until you have authorized the computer. The music you had in your old iTunes account will not be in your new account as music is stored in a file on your hard drive, which you said has crashed.

Does any one know how to arrange songs by location in itunes lybrary?

I've ripped more than 100 CDs in different folder in my computer. After installing itunes, every songs is added to the library. But when I want to transpher some songs located in a specific folder, I can not find how? They only arrange by names, or album, or artist... They don't know if you got a collection of favourite songs in a folder, how can I find them, or I have to find each song manualy? Any one knows how to arragne songs by their location, pls help. Thanks alot

I can not drag directy from my store folder to my Ipod, right?
Correct.
I dont want to select hundreds of songs one by one.
Okay. You have already done that.
But how do you find a specific song? You have to remember if it's in your favorites folder or in the artist folder or ???
In iTunes, you create a playlist, put the music you want in the playlist, drag the playlist to your iPod in iTunes.
Anytime you wan t, add or remove songs from this playlist and plug in the iPod to sync it up.
iTunes is a music manager.
You are simply using Windows Explorer/the desktop as a manager now.
iTunes is so much more versatile. You can sort, group, exclude by Album, Artist, date of song, Genre, and a bunch of other criteria.
Just as you don't care where a song is physically located on a CD, you don't need to be concerned (too much) with where it is on your HD. With iTunes, as long a syou know something about it (Artist or album), you can find it with one or two clicks.

How to authorize songs from ITunes account that no longer exists

I have 26 songs in my iTunes library that I cannot play on my iMac and cannot synch with my 2nd gen Nano because they are not authorized for this computer. These files were purchased under an account that no longer exists, on a Windows computer I no longer own. I've long ago forgotten the password for that account and the e-mail account associated with that itunes account no longer exists.
So, how do I authorize my current iMac (running OS X, iTunes 10) to play and synch these songs?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello coastiechris,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
About your only option at this point is to contact iTunes support on this one. If you cannot remember the password, there are no other options. Sorry.

How to get songs that are in "previous iTunes Libraries" folders ??

I am unable to play scores and scores of songs that were on my iTunes 4.9 playlists now that I have "upgraded" to 7.0 I have a strange icon to the left of the song on my song list and when I go to play the song I get a message that the song cannot be located. The following notes come from iTunes help (see below) and I am wondering if anyone else has lost music and if so.....are they really lost or just misplaced? I would hate to think Apple would insist on an upgrade to buy more iTunes if they are going to scrub away hundreds of your other songs.
HELP PLEASE
Note: The library file name for versions of iTunes prior to 4.9 was "iTunes 4 Music Library" for Mac OS X and "iTunes 4 Music Library.itl" for Windows. After upgrading to iTunes 4.9 or later, the older library files are moved to a "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder.

If the strange icon you refer to is an exclamation point, the problem is that the song files are not in the location the iTunes Library files are saying they are.
Note that the iTunes Library files do not contain the actual song files but rather a list of references that point iTunes to where the songs are (or rather should be) located.
So the first thing I'd do is find out just where the files are on your computer. Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for some ideas on how to do so.
Post back and let us know if you're able to find the song files.

How to sync songs that aren't synced to iPhone, and appear on iTunes in gray and next to a circle?

After syncing my music from iTunes to my new iPhone 5 (and all of my music is either matched or uploaded using iTunes Match), I encountered a problem in which some songs weren't synced to my iPhone, and when I look at my iPhone section on iTunes, on music I can see these songs that weren't synced, in gray and next to them there's a circle.
Can anyone help me with syncing these problematic ones to the iPhone?
Thanks,
Nir

Iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time.
Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iPhone.
Put everything on one library.
