How to delete Multiple Artists in one action?

Hi,
I want to do a big clean up on an iTunes library with over 4000 albums.
How can I delete multiple Artists in one action?
It looks like I can only delete 1 Artist at a time, and then this action shoots me to the top of the list.  Which is a pain then having to scroll back down through such a huge list to then delete the others one at a time... each time being shot back to the top of the list.
For example I have the following artists;
The Alarm 01 – 1 song
The Alarm 02 – 1 song
The Alarm 03 – 1 song
The Alarm 04 – 1 song
The Alarm 05 – 1 song
The Alarm 06 – 1 song
And I want to delete them all in 1 action.
Can this be done?  How best to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

You can't delete "artists" - just songs (or songs grouped into albums).  When iTunes displays the library or a playlist in Artists view it is doing so using the metadata values set in the relevant songs.  If you're looking at this view:
then your selections in the left pane - the artists list - is filtering what you see on the right.  When you select Delete via the keyboard or via a right-click operation, you are initiating an operation to delete the songs by that artist.  To delete songs by more than one artist in a single operation you'll need to select and delete in Albums view:
or in Songs view:
where you can also use the Column Browser to filter songs by multiple artists:

  • How to delete multiple emails at one time instead of individually

    I want to select random emails (not all in a row sequentially) and delete with single function. I don't want to have to delete each unwanted email individually.How to d this?
    Also, There is no delete function at top of email screen-why not?

    Have you ever deleted multiple files in Explorer at once? Thunderbird works the same way.
    Select the first message you want to delete. Then press and hold Shift and select the last message to be deleted. This selects all messages in between the first and the last one.
    By holding down Ctrl and click on an individual messages you can select or de-select it.
    Then press Del to delete all selected messages.

  • How to delete multiple InfoObjects in one shot?

    Hello Experts,
    Is there any way to delete a bunch of InfoObjects / ODSs in one shot?
    Scenarios:
    1. We have thousands of custom IO which are no use any more and we want to get rid of these IO to save space. How to do it?
    2. We have thousands of custom ODS too which need to be deleted. We want to delete ODS which are not used any more and also the InfoObjects in ODSs which are not used by any other ODS or any other places. How do I do that in one shot?
    BTW way our BW is 3.1 version but will be upgrading soon.
    Regards,
    Mau

    Hi,
    goto RSD1 and mark the option "Free Selection of IObjs"
    Hit the Maintain button In the next screen Select your IObjs to be maintained (at this stage the system will lock the selected IObj !!)
    In the next screen mark the IObjs you want to delete
    Then Menu Characteristics / Delete (shift + F2)
    this should work.
    Alternatively, try developping an ABAP based on function module RSDG_IOBJ_MULTI_DELETE.
    hope this helps...

  • MULTIPLE ARTISTS IN ONE AL

    hi,
    i hope that somebody could help me on this. i've been looking for some solutions in the forum but can't find it. for zen users, it is always hard to copy multiple artists in one album in the zen without scattering this artists everywhere. hope that these multiple artists stay in one artists/album in the zen menu and the best thing to do this is to edit these tracks individually. it's ok if you only edit about 20 artists but if you have 200 or more, this is something else.
    i hope somebody in this forum has a better idea or recommended software on how to edit these things easily.. most of the tag softwares only edited the filenames? and some, edited it one by one...
    thks

  • How to delete multiple duplicates of multiple songs?

    How to delete multiple duplicates of multiple songs from my library at the same time, rather than each individually?

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • How to delete multiple music tracks

    how to delete multiple music tracks?

    I think rendering the audio has to do with the way I import to FCE. This is how I bring video into FCE because it seems to be the only way I can get it to work. I run my video camera through a digital coverter which runs a firewire into my Mac. I then import the video into imovie. After that is done, I do a drag and drop of the imovie into FCE. I have to render the audio because it just beeps if I don't when I play it back in FCE. I tried using the video capture in FCE but it keeps telling me it is unable to capture (my gues is the cameras are too old and the digital converter in not compatable with FCE or Mac). So once the video and audio footage is in FCE, if I click the green button on the left hand side, my rendered audio becomes a red line. However, I can click the same button on the upper video portion, and it drops the video out so I can see video clips on the lower levels and not just the first one on top. So that's why I render the audio. I can see all twelve audio tracks already. Tom- would making the change you suggest still help? Great book by the way also.

  • HT1349 how to delete multiple items in itunes

    how to delete multiple items in itunes

    I inported my music files and see that I have multiple copies on my files so now I have multiple copies in iTunes.
    Some are multiples, some are duplicates, some are from different dates and some do not work and have the symbol for this.
    Thus, I must be picky about which ones I delete.
    Looks like I will have to continue deleting manually.

  • How to delete multiple songs within playlist

    Hi does anyone know how to delete multiple songs within a playlist on OS or Mac??  I have reached the limit in songs I can play offliine and would like to delete some of the songs that are on my playlist.  For example the last 100 songs.  I dont want to indiviually sit here and delete them one by one.  Thanks Ray

    On ios i think the only way is to edit the playlist by clicking on the three dots. I dont own a mac, but on windows you can hold control and select the songs you want to delete. Or select a song, go to the last song you want to delete, hold shift and click on the song.

  • How to execute multiple queries in one stored procedure.

    Hi,
    I am Kumar,
    How to execute multiple queries in one stored procedure.
    here is the my requirements,
    1. get the max value from one table and sum of the that value.
    2. insert the values and also sum of the max value.

    Please help me.
    Advance thanks

    This is not a java question and it is not even a problem: your only problem is
    1) lack of knowledge
    2) lack of interest to find a manual
    But you are going to have to change both by actually reading a book or a manual that explains the stored procedure language of SQL Server. It is the same as Sybase I think, so you could also look for a manual for that DBMS.

  • How to print multiple copies on one page ?

    How to print multiple copies of one document on one page ?
    in coreldraw I used to make the document -for example a business card 5x9 - and when sending to print it automatically placed the number of cards that would fit in my A4 sheet.
    how do I make the same operation in Indesign.
    thanks

    Hi, Peter S.
    >I can see that as a shortcut to printing a page of different cards for multiple people, but to do a simple n-up of a single card it seems overly complex to me. What am I missing?
    * It's just an alternative to copy/paste and step/repeat.
    * For a one-time only use, perhaps it's a little more complex than necessary. But for any future needs, only the content of the data file needs to be changed, either by editing, or by pointing to a new data file. If different cards for multiple people becomes necessary, it's ready to go.
