How to get all songs on one album artwork

I have 1 album that is listed twice on the albums list. I have 2 songs on one and one song on the other. I cannot get them all on just one. I have checked all the info on the info tab and everything is the same. I have copied all the songs in one file on my desktop and deleted everything from itunes and my music folder and when I add it back to that artist it adds two. The only thing that is different is one song was downloaded on itunes and the other 2 were from a CD.
selected all the songs and when to get info and retyped the name of the artist and the artist album and fixed it like blood sugar sex magik.

how about the less painful click the first song then shift-click the last song?

Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. For iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On.

Getting all songs onto one album

Hi
I am having a real problem with itunes splitting one album into a separate album for each track.
It does this quite often but not all albums?
Any help would be appreciated

Select all the songs on the CD and Get Info.
Say yes to the message that you want to change info on multiple items.
Fill in Album Artist = Various Artist (or Camelot Artists, whatever you choose)
Go to the Options tab and check Part of a Compilation = No

How To Select All Songs In An Album To Play Them?

How can I easily select all songs in one album to play them?
Now I have to click the checkbox for each individual song. Surely, there is a shortcut for this??? I keep the library sorted by album. And, no, I am not going to do playlists.
And, by the way, why isn't there a detailed manual showing how to use the product?

If you turn on the Browser while in that list view, then the album art continues to display when you select a single album from the browser pane.
The browser has three columns. The right hand column lists the albums without album art. I found no way to change that behavior. Yes, I can search for the album by name, but that's not what I would normally do.
The album art continues to be displayed in the area below the Browser.
Why are you closing the Browser? You can navigate away from the window with the Browser in it and edit data on any of your other tracks. When you come back, the album you selected will still be selected, and it will stop playing at the end.
(I'm also not sure what you mean by "go back to the Library". When you turn on the Browser, you're still in your Library; it's just a different view mode. Are you navigating to a different playlist?)
I close the browser so I can see the list of tracks and albums in the library. With the browser open and one album selected (to play it), it is the only album visible in the library. I found no way to "navigate away from the window with the browser" - the browser is the only view of the library available at that point. I am not using playlists at all (except for syncing with my iPhone and occasionally to burn a CD) so, no, I am not navigating to a different (or any) playlist.
Aha. That's easy enough to fix: create a playlist (called "Editing" or something) containing all of your music. (You could make it a smart playlist, using the rule "Date added is after 1/1/1900"). Then, while leaving the Browser open in your main library window, you can navigate to your Editing playlist to do all your editing. Then your album will remain selected, and keep playing, in the main library.
iTunes's functionality is dependent on playlists. There are solutions to the problems you are having, but trying to solve problems without using any playlists is like asking for help with organizing things on the Desktop without wanting to use folders.
Here's another solution: Leave everything checked, as I said above. Create an empty playlist, and tell Party Shuffle to use that empty playlist as its source. Then, if you highlight tracks, control-click them, and choose "Play next in Party Shuffle," Party Shuffle will add those tracks and play only them, then stop (because it will try to draw the next track from the empty playlist, and not find anything). I just tested this; it works fine.
Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about. After messing around for 20 minutes or more, trying the iTunes (pitiful) help, and finding nothing usable about "Party Shuffle" (the so called help describes things I was unable to locate -- no Party Shuffle playlist, no source pop-up menu, etc.), I quit.
Step-by-step:
1) In Preferences > General, make sure the "Party Shuffle" checkbox is checked in the "Show:" options.
2) Close Preferences, then select the Party Shuffle icon in the Playlists column on the left of your iTunes window. It's probably populated with random songs from your library at this point.
3) Create a new playlist (command-N), but don't add any songs to it. Name it "Empty" or something similar.
4) In the Party Shuffle playlist, in the lower left-hand corner, there is a drop-down menu labeled "Source". Select your Empty playlist from that menu. (iTunes will probably warn you that the playlist you selected is empty.) Note that the Party Shuffle playlist depopulates, because it is drawing its music from an empty playlist.
5) Return to your library, highlight an album (or any group of songs), and control-click any of the tracks. Select "Play next in Party Shuffle" from the contextual menu that appears.
Party shuffle will play the tracks you selected. When it gets to the end of the selection, it will try to draw a random track from the Empty playlist, and fail, and stop playing. You can then continue to edit song information in your library, or navigate to the Party Shuffle playlist if you want see what's playing and look at the album art that's being played.
This solution does exactly what you asked for.

How can I give songs on one album different illustrations.

Pete Philly, a Dutch singer, did a project, called "Open Loops". He uploaded a number of songs that didn't really fit in his new album, to be downloaded for free. I downloaded it, and it turns out that every song has its own illustration. I was curious if it was possible for several songs on one album to have different illustrations in iTunes. Is it possible? If so, how can I do it? Thanks in advance.

From another thread
If you just highlight the name of the genre and press play/pause, you won't have to select an artist.

How to add all photos in one Album

Hi,
I bought iMovie yesterday and I have albums in photos application. I want to add all photos in one album to iMovie.
Thanks
Best Regards

They can only be added one at a time, a bit annoying but that's the way.
Add photos
With your project open, scroll the project timeline so that the playhead (the red vertical line) appears over the location where you want to add the photo; you can move the photo later if you want.
If the playhead is resting over a video clip, the photo is added before or after the end of the clip closest to the playhead.
Tap the Media Library button , and then tap the Photos button at the bottom of the screen.
Tap Camera Roll, Photo Library, or an album, and then tap the photo you want to add.
To preview a photo before adding it, tap and hold the photo in the Photo browser until it appears in the pop-up viewer.
The added photo appears for a duration of 3 to 6 seconds, depending on the length of the transitions that appear before and after the photo, but you canchange this duration.
A Ken Burns effect is also applied to the image, which means the camera appears to sweep across and zoom in on the photo. You can adjust this effect. Go to Edit a photo to learn how.
You can ask Apple to fix this in the next update:

How do I make songs become one album?

I recently bought +The Essential Joshua Bell+ on iTunes. When I view my music by artists, the Joshua Bell album appears numerous times when in cover flow. How do I fix this so the whole album is together?
P.S. Some songs are made by multiple artists.

*HowTo: Grouping Tracks Into Albums*
Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your iTunes library.
*Use an album friendly view*
iTunes will let you sort music on many columns, some of which are unlikely to group albums together or put the tracks in their normal order. The most useful order for editing the library is probably *Album by Artist*. If you're not already there, select the list view and click on the column heading for Artist until it reads Album by Artist.
*One cover, too many tracks*
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover or append different numbers of spaces for each different album. Somewhat oddly, setting different values for Sort Album doesn't work.
*Album not with others by same artist*
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
*One album, too many covers*
For true compilations, where each track is by a different artist, the answer is to set the compilation flag to true and enable the iTunes preference to *Group compilations when browsing*. Otherwise tracks which list guest artists will be treated as separate items. Filling in the Album Artist field is enough to link things in iTunes. Sadly, however, the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums so this is only a partial solution. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate this is not part of the actual song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
*One album, still too many covers*
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
*Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!*
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading articles (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
*One cover for multi-disc album*
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track (so that no two tracks ever have the same number) until I reach disc 1. BTW You can still give the individual discs different artwork should it be relevant so that the correct artwork will be displayed as the album progresses.
*One artist, many names*
With some artists, particularly classical composers, you should be aware of alternative representations of their names. E.g. 2Pac vs. Tupac. The menus will work best if for each artist you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. For classical music I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.

How to get all songs to show up between computers in home sharing?

I have a laptop that has all of my 1000+ iTunes songs downloaded from the iStore and CDs. I downloaded iTunes on my desktop and connected them with Home Sharing. At first iI thought it worked great but noticed less than half of my songs showed up in iTunes on the Desktop. All of the songs are checked in iTunes on the laptop so I am not sure what I am doing wrong and how I can get all of my songs to show up on both computers.

Here is a (ugly?) solution that allows you to use the keyboard more effectively. When you are on a cell you want to edit, use the enter key to put you into edit mode.
table = new JTable(model)
     protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
           if ( e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER)
                if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED)
                    int column = table.getSelectedColumn();
                    int row = table.getSelectedRow();
                    Rectangle r = getCellRect(row, column, false);
                    Point p = new Point( r.x, r.y );
                    SwingUtilities.convertPointToScreen(p, table);
                     try
                          Robot robot = new Robot();
                          robot.mouseMove(p.x, p.y );
                          robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
                          robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
                          robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
                          robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
                          robot.mouseMove(0, 0 );
                     catch (Exception e2) {}
           else
               super.processKeyEvent(e);

How do I move songs into one album/file?

When I copy a CD into my library, it copies as 16 albums of one tune each instead of one album of 16 tunes. How do I move the songs into a single album and how do I keep this from happening when I copy a new CD?

iTunes works better than Windows media player for my set up with Windows 7 Ultimate .... BUT it 'took over' the Media Player library and put some tracks as separate entries - so, for example, I have one album of Rod Stewart in 6 different places, with tracks from the same album. I have tried everything I can think of, even deleting the whole album and starting again - frustratingly, same result. Can anyone help, please?

How to get all files in one directory

Hi there,
is there any way to get all the files in one directory?
e.g. a method
File[] getAllFiles(String directory){
Thank you

Just out of interest, which part of the File API was confusing?
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html
If you look down the left-hand side, you'll see a frame listing "All File". If you select "File" from that list, it opens up the API in the right-hand frame. Quite near the top you'll find "listFiles".
I only ask as this (and other questions easily answered by looking at the API) are frequently asked. Did you overlook it when you read the API or did you just not read it?
I really want to know. I think there is scope to cater for that behaviour within this site. A nice API finder would be good; something more intelligent than the search function (which people use less frequently even than the API docs).

How to get all JFrames in one window.

I have a JFrame with menu system. When the user opens a file using the menus and filechoosers,another JFrame is called wherein the required output is displayed. If another file is chosen,the data of the previous file is not cleared from the runtime memory. What additional statement is needed to debug this program?
Also on clicking the second menu and the menuitems therein,each JFrame instance is created with the required outputs. How to make all these JFrame instances in a single window? I tried the JDesktopPane but with no success.

I really must protest. iTunes does a terrible job, at least mine always has it messed up some how for some reason. like for instance. There are multiple listings of Album covers or empty sqyartes with art work moissing, and only some songs listed on each listing, instead of all the dangf song (tracks) that are on that disc, listed there as on that disc, you understand me. its mostly all spread out, not where it should nbe. Why is that and how can i easily make it the way it is supposed to be, all tracks belonging to the particulart album listed under that albums picture , album cover art woirk.? Why is it doing this. Whats the magic button to straighten this mess out. And duplicates, i thought they were supoposed to be elliminated. not so. Help. [email protected]...thjanks.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

How to get ALL validate-errors while insert xml-file into xml_schema_table

How to get all validate-errors while using insert into xml_schema when having a xml-instance with more then one error inside ?
Hi,
I can validate a xml-file by using isSchemaValid() - function to get the validate-status 0 or 1 .
To get a error-output about the reason I do validate
the xml-file against xdb-schema, by insert it into schema_table.
When more than one validate-errors inside the xml-file,
the exception shows me the first error only.
How to get all errors at one time ?
regards
Norbert
... for example like this matter:
declare
     xmldoc CLOB;
     vStatus varchar
begin
-- ... create xmldoc by using DBMS_XMLGEN ...
-- validate by using insert ( I do not need insert ;-) )
     begin
     -- there is the xml_schema in xdb with defaultTable XML_SCHEMA_DEFAULT_TABLE
     insert into XML_SCHEMA_DEFAULT_TABLE values (xmltype(xmldoc) ) ;
     vStatus := 'XML-Instance is valid ' ;
     exception
     when others then
     -- it's only the first error while parsing the xml-file :
          vStatus := 'Instance is NOT valid: '||sqlerrm ;
          dbms_output.put_line( vStatus );
     end ;
end ;

If I am not mistaken, the you probably could google this one while using "Steven Feuerstein Validation" or such. I know I have seen a very decent validation / error handling from Steven about this.
