How to have an album view in a playlist?

Hi,
I have some playlists in iTunes. When i access them on my ATV2, the titles are shown in one large list. I would rather prefer to have an Album view on my ATV2 when i scroll within a playlist. Is this possible and if yes, how?
Thanks,
Paul

This seems to be restricted to iOS devices. I, too, want to be able to play Playlist content by album (which is the way the Playlist was built). This can be done within iTunes, itself. ATV2 and the Remote App do not allow this. So, seems to be a matter of programming.
Would be very useful. For example, I have a Smart Playlist for anything not played within the last 2 years. At my computer, from iTunes, I can play albums within this Playlist. In my easy-chair, via ATV2, no can do--track only. And most of my collection is classical music where album trumps track.

  • How to have all albums in one file

    I have some albums where there are some duets. On the HD, no pble, all songs are in correct order but on the Ipod, when searching per album, I may only have 5 songs out of 10 as the other ones are filed under different artists name. Usually Mr ABC featuring DEF instead of all the songs under ABC folder. It is very annoying as I cannot listen a fuill album.
    Thanks

    In iTunes you can select the songs in an Album at the same time, do a Get Info, then under Album Artist, enter the one name you want the album to be grouped under, e.g. "Mr. ABC" and all the "FEAT." songs will be nicely grouped under the single album even though the Artist tags might be different for each song.
    Unfortunately, the 5th generation iPods do not have this same feature. So when you sync that album to your iPod it will be broken up into multiple artists like you noticed. I am not sure if that was taken care of with the newer Classic line of iPods or not.
    So there is nothing you can do about it other than re-tagging all those songs in iTunes. For example, one common way around this is instead of:
    Title: This Is My Song
    Artist: Patrick Feat. My Dad
    you would instead rename all the tracks so the Artist is the same and add the features artist to the song title like so:
    Title: This Is My Song feat. My Dad
    Artist: Patrick
    Otherwise you can just live with it on the iPod the way it is.
    Sorry,
    Patrick

  • Album View in a playlist?

    I've made a playlist with the last seven albums that I've bought, but the songs are in "List View"; no album artwork. The titles just run into another, you can't easily tell where one album starts and the other ends. iTunes gives you choices; List View/Album View/Coverflow. When you look at the playlist in iTunes you can see the album art if you choose "Album View" or Coverflow, but on the iPod you just see the song titles, A.K.A. "List View". Is there any way to set it up so that you can see the album art while viewing a playlist on the iPod?

  • Songs appear in "Album" view but not "Playlist" view--sync problem

    I sync/drag songs from iTunes to my iPod manually. One album in particular shows up on my iPod when I view the list of songs by "Album," but when I view the list of songs by my Beatles "Playlist", songs from all albums except one show up.
    For instance... in "Album"view (on my iPod), I see "Abbey Road" with all its tracks. I also see "Let It Be" with all its tracks. BUT, when I switch over to the Beatles "Playlist,", I see all the tracks from "Abbey Road" but NO tracks from "Let It Be."
    So the only way for me to listen to the tracks from "Let It Be" is to play the Album. If I play the Beatles playlist, none of the "Let It Be" songs will play.
    Can someone help?
    By the way, my iTunes version is 7.6, and my iPods version is 1.2.3---- so both apps are up to date.

    Ramone4130,
    The first and easiest troubleshooting step involves replacing/refreshing the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
    Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

  • How to have individual folder view?

    Hello,
    I would like the folders in OSX to remember individually the view, whether it is list, column or cover flow.
    E.g. I would like to view my pictures folder always in coverflow whereas my music folder should always display in list view.
    How can I do that?

    In the window you want to change set up your view, then press COMMAND-J. Check the box to always open in that view (top of the dialog.)

  • How to have a tree view for value node..

    Hi all,
    I need to display a tree view for a value node in web ui  just like a model node, for a custom view in a pop up. Please guide me  how to do this or let me know the process steps.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi All,
    while debugging I found that in class CL_BSP_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_TREE , the method GET_T_TABLE the below code is not triigerring for the child node attributes ( to trigger the get method of attribute for value node).
    this call method is not triggering at all only for first coulmn its triggering ..
      LV_TN ?= ME->NODE_MAPPER->GET_NODE_OBJECT( <LINE>-NODE_KEY ).
        CONCATENATE 'GET_' COMPONENT INTO LV_METHOD.
        TRY.
            CALL METHOD LV_TN->(LV_METHOD)
              EXPORTING
                ATTRIBUTE_PATH = ''
              RECEIVING
                VALUE          = VALUE.
          CATCH CX_ROOT INTO LV_ERROR.
    I created the GETTER method inthe class CN01 and CN02. But those methods are not triggered in CALL METHOD LV_TN->(LV_METHOD). Even that class CN02 is having the  same methods. Those methods are already Implemented. May I know what was the reason Why those methods are not triggered ( getter method ). With out that Method data will not display in the Tree view. Can anybody tell me the reason why it is not happenning?
    .Please find the below .HTM code  as well.
    <chtmlb:configTree
                          actionsMaxInRow       = "5"
                       id             = "Table1"
                       nodeTable      = "<%= ZTREEVIEW->node_tab %>"
                       table          = "//ZTREEVIEW/Table"
                       noFrame        = "FALSE"
                       personalizable = "TRUE"
                       onCollapseNode = "NODECOLLAPSE"
                       selectionMode  = "MULTILINEEDIT"
                       onExpandNode   = "NODEEXPAND"
                       onRowSelection = "select" />
    Only one column was triggered another column did not get any value becasue of the above method call fail.. We are not restricted anywhere to display one column value in the output.   Even in Debugging I checked that LV_METHOD  is having the method name. CN02 class is also having the  same method, But it is not going into the method. It is coming out side. What could be  the reason I could not able to understnad.
    Please provide me some pointers on the issue....
    Thanks in advance..

  • Album view issue.

    Does anyone know how to stop the album view from showing the track list of the first album of a given letter when quick searching?

    Anyone?!

  • Album View on IPOD

    I would swear that I had the ability to see album views in my playlists but now I can only see the song lists. Can this be changed?

    Ok, think I understand you now.
    To change the view, you click on the "view" buttons in the top right corner of iTunes.
    Is that what you mean?

  • How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

    How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
    In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

    If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
    1  - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
    2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
    3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
    This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
    NOTE:  With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera.  If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder.  If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
    With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
    This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

  • 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.

  • I have several albums in a folder in iphoto.  The pictures are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external hard drive and have them stay in order w/labels. How can I do that?  Thank You

    I have several "albums" in a "folder "in iphoto.  The pictures, and videos (from a camera and smart phone) are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external harddrive. How can I do that and keep them in order, etc. What I have tried reorders them, separates them into the camera pictures, phone pictures, and movies. We are not sauvy in Apple or iphoto so this has been extremely frustrating for us.

    Files on disk have no order - they are given the order by the viewing program - finder on the Mac - using the finder you can view files by many different sorts - file name - date created - date moified - size - etc
    Deciede how you are going to sort them when you view them and then export them so that sort works for you
    Generally using an alpha sort to view and exporting using the sequential nameing option is the solution - see the user tip on exporting for the options available
