How to get compilations to show up as one album in Albums view

In albums view, the NPR Austin 100 song compilations (1 folder with 100 songs) I imported to itunes show up as 100 different albums with 1 song each, which is a mess and makes finding and viewing my regular 10+ song albums difficult. Also I want to be able to click play on those albums and it plays the 100 songs instead of having them scattered. How can I get the 100 songs to show up as 1 album with 100 songs instead of 100 albums with 1 song each? In songs view they all have the same genre (NPR Music's The Austin 100 (2013)). So far I checked "part of a compilation" and tried a few mass edits on every song like setting Album Artist to the same name, which got them in 1 album but the track numbers are messed up and most of these songs don't have track numbers so I'm back to square 1. I deleted the songs, imported the NPR folder again and set all songs to "part of a compilation." What next? I know I can make playlists but I tried that and it didn't solve the problem and I still see all these 1 song albums in albums view and on my phone. I'm not crazy about editing track numbers 1 by 1 on hundreds-thousands of songs. Maybe itunes needs to change something like ask questions when we import folders, eg "do you want all of these songs in 1 album?" and then it automatically assigns track numbers.
I just found this possible solution but we have to mess with scripts and it might not work for everyone Automatically Number Songs in iTunes

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things. For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • Thinkserver RD650 & 720ix RAID - How to get all drives showing up in TDM ??

    Hi, Have just received an RD650 with a 720ix controller. The chasis I have is the one where it provides a hybrid of disk form factors. So at the front left of the server it first has 6 x 2.5" bays, and then 3 x 3.5" bays, that makes up the first half of the backplane. Then the rest of the front of the server and the other half of the back plane is populated by 6 x 3.5" bays. I have 6 hard drives in total: 2 x 300GB 2.5" 15k SAS and 4 x 3TB 3.5" 7.2k SAS. However, when I go into storage management in the TDM, the drive count is only 5 and I do not get the option to include all 4 of my 3.5" drives into a virtual drive, I only get the option of including 3. So the last 3.5" drive that is on the right hand side of the server and backplane is not showing as available. Now I know this controller supports up to 32 drives, so what do I need to do to get this to show up as an available drive? I'll post an image here as well, the green outlines are my drives which ARE available, the red box is my one 3.5" drive which is NOT showing as available (all lights are on and drive seems to be working normally, if I swap that drive for another I still just get the same, 3 of the 3.5 drives available instead of all 4). I would REALLY appreciate some help with this, I need that drive showing up for RAID10 or this server goes back! Thank you,LD. 

    Yeah sorry I meant to update this sooner, it was a dead drive, I thought I had checked it in other bays properly but obviously not. This server only has 2 usb ports! Crazy, so if you are flshing a firmware or loading a driverbundle or whatever into the TDM but USB, you have to take out either the keyboard or mouse, what genius decided this? All servers should have at least 3 USB ports, whether you are going to run them headless eventually or not. Also, ALL of the 4 3.5" drive caddies are cracked and broken where the screw attaches the plastic front part to the metal! This must have been done in the factory AND one of the sprung screws that holds the raid card down is snapped! Anyway, original problem is solved.

  • How to get JDeveloper to show package names?

    Newbie question. I have Java classes organized in different packages, but in the left panel where the classes are shown, the package names are not shown to display which class belongs in which package. Is there an option I can set to get JDeveloper to show the package names? I'm using 9.0.3. Thanks.

  • How to I get photos to show "in the last week" smart album

    The images will not show in this pre-set smart album. They do show in my son's library, but not in mine. As far as I can tell all the settings are the same. What am I doing wrong?

    Do you a filter set by any chance?  Clear the filter of the Browser by clicking the "x" at the right side of the Search Field.  The gray text in the field should say "Unrated or Better".
    If that doesn't do it, check the Smart Album settings.  Select the Smart Album, then click the magnifying glass.  Are the settings what you expect?

  • How to get telephone and mobile phone for one partner

    Hello Expert,
    In VA03, I open one sales order and go into the partner tab. Then I selection one partner and click "Detail" button, one page with partner detailed information will pop up.
    In the pop-up window:
    There are two fields: Telephone and Mobile Phone.
    In my program, I want to get these two information. 
    I tried to call FM 'ADDR_COMM_GET' by passing address_number(VBPA-ADRNR), table_type('ADTEL'), iv_current_state(SPACE). For some partner, it works, but for others it doesn't work.
    Then I find table ADR2 which is used to keep phone infomration. There are two entries in the table. But how can I identity which one is telephone and which one is Mobile phone?
    So can any expert help me on how to get the telephone and Mobile Phone of the pop-up page?
    Thanks in advance,
    Best Regards, Johnny.

    Read ADR2-TEL_NUMBER where ADDRNUMBER = VBPA-ADRNR and R3_USER = '2' or '3'.
    These are the possible values
            Telephone is Landline Telephone
    1     Telephone is Default Under Landline Telephones
    2     Telephone is Mobile Telephone but Not Default Mobile Phone
    3     Telephone is Default Mobile Telephone
    X     Obsolete - No Longer Valid
