How to organize music compilation?

Hello, community!
I'm new to OS X and iTunes. So I have a question how can I organize compilations. For instance I have compilation "The Rolling Stone Magazine 500" which includes hundreds of Artists.
What have I already done? I edited these tags: Album Artist = Various Artists and checked "The part of compilation" (I'm sorry for possible mistake in this point, I use Russian OS X). Now it's shown like one album and various artists in the appropriate tab. That what I want but I can't search music by arsis.
What is the right way to do it?
Thank you

Its great that you know how to access file attributes section on both PC and Mac. Without your clarification people would have been baffled.
Actually, they wouldn’t be baffled at all.
Since this is the iTunes for Mac forum, PC users generally won’t look here. and Mac users generally don’t care about Windows Properties...
Regardless of whether or not Paresh Devani solved this 2 years ago ( not sure how you know this anyway),
I actually read the posts in threads, rather than blindly posting.
I know it was solved 2 years ago because Paresh Devani selected the answer that fixed his issue 2 years ago & it was quoted in his original post… "This solved my question by Granavel on Feb 9, 2013 7:18 AM"
the solution is not on here and could be useful to others. People still have this problem today.
The solution is on here.
However, had you bothered to read the original post, you would see that the solution you posted is irrelevant.
Your solution will fix an issue, one that is completely unrelated to this thread...

How to organize music on 6300?

Hello,
How could I organize the music on my phone - Nokia 6300? I have created a few different folders but the music player will just put all the music files together?
Some of the music is actually audio books so I definitely don't want these mixing with actual music... I tried all kinds of stuff but I just can't seem to separate audio files into different folders or something. The manual doesn't provide any info either so I thought maybe somebody here could help.

The music player reads compatible files from wherever they are in the phone or memory card, and then allows you to play particular tracks via file tags containing title, artist, album etc. information.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Go to Music Player on your 6300 phone.dont play yet, click the "option" and then "music library" and then click the "all tracks".after doing that, you should see all the playable song's stored in your memory card.here's the trick. for example, you just want to play all your favorite songs at a time, or maybe your so sentimental that you only want to hear all the love songs, then go find all the love songs you want then click the option again and then click the "add to favorites". after you add all the love songs you want to favorites click the back and then go to "track list" and it will show you all the possible option there like the "favorites", "most played", "recent tracks" etc..click the favorites option since you only want to play all your love songs at a time.after that play any songs that you will see at the favorites option.just one song. while playing, now click the "option" again then click the "show tracks" then "option" and last is "save as track list" then it will ask you for a "file name".named it anything you want,like uhmm "LOVE SONGS" since you add only all the love songs you like just for example.after saving it you have now all the love songs saved as your track list.now go to "music library" then click the "track list" then go to "my track list".there you can find the file name that you save like "LOVE SONGS" then play it.VOILA AT LAST.YOU CAN NOW ONLY LISTEN TO ALL THE LOVE SONGS THAT YOU SAVED.now, if you want to create another playlist, go to the "FAVORITES" again then erase all that's been saved there then add another songs to your favorites like alternative songs or rap or anysongs you only want to hear then just do what i have told you recently.play again form my favorites then save it as track list and this time, saved it on different file name like "ALTENATIVE" so you won't confused what's the songs on it.got it!! WHEW!! HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU!!

Creative ZEN MX Sort/organize music

#Creative ZEN MX Sort/organize music>Device: ZEN MX
Firmware: .04.0
So i got a ZEN MX, i was pretty happy with it... but now i'm starting to get very pissed off..
The way its sort his music on **bleep** "mp3 tags" i find it complete bullsh*t!
Why? because not all mp3's have tags, or tags that does not "fit" ( to the mp3 filename ) so it organizes the mp3's like sh*t anyway..
Now i completly removed all mp3 tags from all the mp3 tracks on my ZEN MX, and the player shows me no mp3 tracks anymore... ( accept for weird named folder with 500 piled up, **bleep**y sorted mp3's in it or something )
WTF is wrong with sorting on filename like any other device!?
If anyone got an idea or a fix, to make the ZEN MX sort his mp3 files decently, please tell me! Im desperate

I've spent a bit of time today, with Mp3tag, to try to understand what is going on with the MX sorting.
I used Mp3tag with the list of mp3s on my pc, (which was a copy of that on the zen) to add the relevent info. Some of my mp3s were just converts from clips from films etc, and had no relevent tag info. With this program, it is easy to add it.
It doesn't take too long to experiment to realise its advantages. (tag sort).
My gripe originally was the grouping of files - or tracks.
Especially if you had made your own compilation 'album'.
However, I have found you can do this easily in Mp3tag by grouping the files together, by filling their album field with 'Compliation ' or 'Various Artists' for example.
If you add the track number into the 'track' list aswell, you automatically order the track playing sequence.
It is really another way of creating a playlist but giving it an album reference of your own.
You can also add an album cover picture freely to any mp3. There is a built-in online database search for this, but i found it easier to search on the web, then used the wikipedia result for a source of album pictures. They happen to be around the right size too...
I then deleted the files on the zen and copied the whole lot across again, with the tag data in.
I now have some exclusi've albums and with cover pictures, along with all the others which have album covers.
I can only suggest giving it a go....
I can see it is the way forward for flexibility.

How to organize apps into folders and make them stick in iphone 3gs?

Four hours down the drain! Darn, I decided to finally learn how to organize my apps into folders and do it right. Instead I spent four hours and must have got it wrong.
I opened iTunes on my MacBook with my iPhone attached. Then clicked on the iPhone in the left side list of my iTunes. Then clicked on apps which brought up a nice page with all my iPhone apps listed in one window on the left and all the pages of the apps that are on my iPhone in the window on the right. So far this is what I think the User Manual and Help said to do.
At that point I created new folders by dragging one app over another. For example, I would find a photography app and drag it onto another photography app. That automatically created a folder with the name photography. Just what I wanted. I then looked for more photography apps and dragged them to the folder.
This is not too easy because I had eight pages of apps. At first, I would grab an app on a page and drag it to where I knew the corresponding folder would be and put it into the folder.
Later I found another way was to use the list of my apps on the right to put them in apps.
In the end, from what appeared on the screen, it seemed to me that most of my apps were in folders and the folders were either on page one, two, or three. At that point I thought that I should sync the MacBook with the iPhone, I believe, and did so.
When the sync was finished I took the iPhone off the computer and looked at it. NONE of the folders I created, nor the organization into folders of the apps were on my iPhone!
Obviously, I did something wrong since the same mess was on the iPhone as before, with apps all over the place and impossible to locate without taking too much time. This after four hours of work looking at a 13 in. laptop screen!
What I hope is that someone smarter than me will look at what I did and tell me where I went wrong.
I want the apps on the iPhone to be organized into logical folders so it is easier to find them. Something along the lines of a good database, you know?
Thank you for reading to the end of this question,

OK, I spent another afternoon doing the job started yesterday. Last night (could not sleep, so might as well think) I got to thinking that I really must have missed a step or something because all my work was done on the Mac and I did not recall any time when I transferred the new setup with folders to the iPhone.
Sure enough, when I tried it today I did find that missing step. When looking at the Home Page of the iPhone or any page being worked on, in the lower right hand corner two buttons say
SYNC APPLY
I do not recall using the APPLY button on the first day trying this, but I used it this time.
After making changes, I hit APPLY and the computer began to sync with the iPhone.
This time, although there is nothing telling the user what is going on, the sync actually makes the iPhone pages to look exactly like the pages created on the Mac.
Too bad the instructions and help did not say to do things in this way, which is the only correct way, as far as I can tell.
I have about 155 apps on the iPhone, making the job extra lengthy. However, I never could do it on the iPhone’s tiny screen, even though it is possible, so this was good - working on the larger screen of the MacBook.
There are also some (undocumented?) tricks in using the MacBook for this task. For example, it is possible to create a folder and then, using the list of all apps on the iPhone that is on the left side of screen, open the folder, click on the check box next to any app you want to put in the folder and it will jump right in!
If the check box already has a check mark, just click the box to remove it, click again to put the check mark in the box and voila the app takes off for the folder. This also works to just put apps onto a certain page, if you want to do that, but dragging apps around sometimes works better.
I hope it will not be necessary to do this again because of the time involved, and he need for quite a bit of thinking on how to move the apps and folders around to get everything just where you want it on the iPhone. The work reminded me of an old kids game that has a small square case with, I guess eleven movable numbers, that are all mixed up, and one space that is not filled with a number. You can move the little squares with the numbers around inside the case to try to line the numbers up in order from 1-11 and do it faster than anybody else.
Well, unfortunately lining up all my apps was like that because each page of the iPhone only holds 16 folders or apps and each folder is limited to 12 apps. Starting with 155 apps it takes too much mouse maneuvering to make the process easy.
Finally, the automatic folder names are very broad, as in MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, SPORTS and such, so I often just deleted the given categories and put my in my own. Also, some day I may break down the folders more because twelve apps in one folder means the apps are still pretty much out of view.
I wrote this in case anyone else finds it and has the same irksome product. If I just reinvented the wheel, please do not tell me now.

How to organize j2me classes into packages?

Hello!
I'm using Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2 and I have got a question about it.
Does anybody know, how to organize j2me classes into packages?
As far as I know, all source files should be placed inside WTK_home_directory\apps\my_project\src folder.
Although it is possible to create arbitrary folder structure (for example, src\com\my_company\www\my_package) and successfully compile the project,
it's not possible to run it on the emulator or any target device. Trying to do it, I get ClassNotFound exception.
It's not surprisingly, because virtual machine on the device doesn't know, where to look for desired classes.
So the question is how to add new entries to the device classpath (of course, if it exists)?
And is it possible to configure it through application descriptor (jad) file somehow?
Any ideas, references, descriptions?
Thanks in advance,
A.

Hello!
So, I have found the solution and this question is not actual any more.
The solution is quite simple - you have to properly configure application jad-file.
It can be done like this (in ktoolbar):
1. Open project settings from main menu (Project - Settings).
2. Then go to MIDlets tab.
3. There you have to change value in "*class*" column (for example, to smth like this - com.my_company.www.my_package.my_midlet_class_name).
4. Press Ok button.
Having done these steps, you will be able to have any package structure you need
(because after it AMS on the device will know where to look for your application class files).

I don't know the answer. I am just trying to understand.
I just tried to suggest that there is much, much, much more to organize than just doing 'folders'.
A year of my soccer recordings is about ~2TB either (but in diff. Events, I have to confess), no prob for FCPX - and for my no-budget hardware!
.... I got 'sensitized' when PC-friends proudly showed me there music-Libraries .... all handcrafted, matryoshka-esk folders-in-folders-in ... demoing how simple iTunes creates specific playlists by using tags&keywords made them speechless ..
smart tagging alllows to find a specific sentence, a specific 'face', a specific stunt with a single click. And you're not limited in FCPX by a few tech. data (timestamp for example), but it starts with simple 'favorite-ising' and 'find people' (which, partly, works incredible precise!), and ends with your dozen, very own criteria, you can combine and mix as you like. And need.-
... and due to its data-base character of FCPX, size of media shouldn't matter ... imho.

Recent Windows Convert - How to Organize iPhoto

Hi all-- I'm a recent Windows convert and could use some advice on how to organize iPhoto.
I have an external 2TB drive that I've attached to my new iMac that has all my personal files from my Windows machine on it. It's organized like "Videos" "Music" "Pictures" "Docuemnts" "Downloads" etc..etc..
I want to KEEP this organization if possible as I share it to my MediaCenter HTPC that will stay Windows. The MediaCenter library expects to see the Pictures folder and sub-folders (what I think translate to Events or Albums in iPhoto - not sure which).
So my question is:
I see that iPhoto stores all it's pictures in its' Library file in a Masters>Yr>Mo>Da folder structure. Is this a requirement to maintain this structure? Makes sharing it to the MediaCenter & extenders very hard to browse.
Comments/Suggestions? Thanks!

Simple suggestion: Don't use iPhoto at all.
It has no cross platform ability, and as you want to store your material on the MediaCenter, which is a NAS you find yourself with a
Referenced Library - that is, one where iPhoto doesn't copy the files into its own library - tricky enough for someone not familiar with macs and iPhoto
and
The Library on one disk with the files on another. You end up with this because iPhoto needs the Library on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and the Media Center isn't.
In this scenario, iPhoto indexes your files in place but this is not iPhoto's comfort zone. Specifically, if any element of the path to the files changes, then you could find yourself fixing it for every single photo, one at a time.

I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203. My iTunes library is on an external drive. I cannot get this to work. Any suggestions?

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
