How to show artists on a track, album view - itunes 11

just got itunes 11 and i have my library in album view, when i click on an album a list of songs drops down and underneath each track the artists on the track are displayed; but not for every album. i cant seem to find why but sometimes the artists just arn't shown, how do i make it show?

Thank you so much! Got it sorted!
Another quick qu - what do I do if I have a compilation with each song having a different artist? Can I show the individual artist whilst keeping them all in the same album?
Only in the Album view. Artist view will display them separately unless you have Group by Album Artist turned On. I tend to set the Album Artist (not the individual track artist) as "Various" or XYZ Soundtrack or something similar making grouping them a bit easier.

  • How to show artists in a compilation album but not split the album?

    Sorry, I wasn't sure which section to submit this question to.
    I have recently downloaded my iTunes music to my iPhone 4s. However, 'compilation' albums ( in my case albums by artists who have a lot of guests on their songs) did not show up under artists. So I unticked the compilation box in the album info. But now when I go to albums, each song with a different guest is in its own album.
    My iPod nano shows the different artisits for compilation albums and the album as a whole. How can I make my iPhone do the same?
    Thank you for any ideas!

  • Compilation (17 artists) shows up 17x on iPhone/ Album view. How do i get it to only once?

    Hello,
    I have transferred (drag+drop) a compilation with 17 artists from an USB stick straight to the Iphone without the putting it into the library. All tags have been taken over fine in Itunes. however when i look into the album view in the iPhone music app, the album shows up 17x.
    I have tried to play around with the settings but it doesnt seem to work. This is quite frustrating as i have a lot of compilations that i would like to put on my iphone.
    Please let me know what i have to change in the "get info" options in order for this to resolve. Do i have to change anything in the settings on the Iphone itself?
    Thanks

    ugh. i got it. apparently the iphone doesnt recognise changes to file info if the track is already on the iphone. You have to edit in the itunes library and then transfer....
    hppe this helps

  • IOS Remote App: How to show Artists instead of Albums in Genres View?

    Hi,
    I very frequently use the iOS Remote app on my iPhone to control playback of my iTunes library via my Apple TV and Airport devices.
    While I love this app, I find one aspect rather frustrating.
    Whenever I go into "Genres" view within the Remote app, it takes me to an Albums view, rather than an Artists view.
    For example, if I select "Jazz" as the genre, it shows me a list of Jazz albums, not Jazz artists.
    I want to see the list of all Jazz artists, not the list of all Jazz albums.
    Is there a way to change this behavior so that I can see Artists within the Genre view, rather than Albums?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Yes - this is VERY annoying.
    You might be able to downgrade to a previous version IF it's still on your computer:

    I reinstalled Mountain Lion and lost my earlier version.

  • Is it possible to sort a 2CD compilation album where each CD has a different "album artist" together as one album in iTunes?

    I have an album which I am trying to sort correctly in iTunes.
    It has 2CDs of tracks by various artists, it is set up as a 'compilation' and I have 'album artist' set up. 
    As far as I can see all the settings are correct, however CD1 is a compilation of tracks remixed by "artist A" and CD2 is a compilation of tracks remixed by "artist B" therefore  becasue each disc has a different album artist, the album is split into two seperate albums on album view.
    Is there any way to get this to display as one album?
    The album is released as "Artist A" so for now I have set that name as the 'album artist' for CD2 as well to get round it but would ideally like to have the second CD labelled correctly with the second artist's information.
    I suppose I could also use "Arist A / Artist B" for both CDs but would prefer not to do this as well so that it would be grouped with other (solo) albums from these artists.
    Cheers for any help!

    Your options are to treat this as one collective album by the joint Album Artists, or as two separate albums by them as individuals, or I suppose you could duplicate the entire album and do both.

  • How to keep Single Songs out of Album View?  iTunes11

    What is the proper way to label singles so that Album View does not contain an 'Unknown Album' for each artist with at least one song? 
    You would think leaving the 'album artist' and the 'album' field blank it would not put that song in album view, but that is not the case in iTunes 11.  This is how it works on my phone (4S) (iOS 6.0.1) .
    A work-around is to label all singles with the correct artist and title, but label all singles with the same album artist (i.e. 'various artists') and with the same album (i.e. 'singles'), but if you did that iTunes will automatically move all the files from the correct artist folder into one giant 'various artists' folder. (if the 'keep itunes media folder organized box is checked)
    What is the best practice to resolve this nearly useless album view function?

    A cleaner solution is to create a playlist with your running albums, then update the other smart playlists with "Playlist" not in "Running Albums".
    That way, you don't need to update each and every playlist when you add a new running album, you just need to put it in the Running Albums playlist.

  • How to navigate with the keyboard in album view?

    Hello
    Is there a better way to navigate through the albums and then select/control tracks within an "open" Album in Album-View without using the mouse than what I am trying to describe below?
    iTunes is idle.
    switch to album view (shortcut to switch view-methods?), select album by typing a few letters or using arrows
    press space to play the first track
    press cmd-L to highlight the playing track
    use left/right/up/down arrows to navigate in the files of the open album
    return to start playing the selected track
    escape to close the album
    cmd-. to stop playing
    arrows to navigate the album-collection, space-bar to start playing album (track 1)
    cmd-L to highlight playing track
    arrows to navigate tracks in the album. (if the playing trck is highlighted)
    cmd-left/right to play previous/next track
    method to select/start playing a specific track in the open album? (While itunes is either idle or playing from another album)?

  • Albums with different artists appear separately in Album view.

    Hi,
    As can be seen in the screen shot below, Album view displays songs separately if they are from different artists but from the same album.
    this is also a problem in iPhone 3G album view. I see multiple copies of album name each with different set of songs. As, a result I can't choose an entire album and am forced to make playlists for albums.
    please help me fix this…

    HI AceNeerav,
    I know this is a bit late... But maybe it will help someone else in the future!
    I resolved this annoying problem on albums that were split out by "one album per song", even if they came from the same album (and they were purchased through the iTunes Store, BTW!).
    Turns out all my albums with this problem where COMPILATIONS, and for some reason, the artist has to be unique for iTunes to see it as being part of the same album.
    So here are the steps I took to resolve this:
    In iTunes, select all the songs from the same album (which do not appear as being from the same album);
    Right-click and select View Info (or CMD+i);
    In the Album Artist field (not the Artist field), type a keyword. In my case, I chose "Various Artists".
    Press OK.
    Presto! Everything was sorted out!
    Hope this helps anyone with the same frustration!

  • Play count in album view itunes 11?

    I was wondering if there was a way to show your play count in album or artist view? Such as if you click to expand your album, where it says the time of the song is there a way to get it to list the play count too?
    I use play count a lot and this would be very helpful.
    Thanks!

    Sort of works. Albums in a subfolder do not sort correctly with the rest - they show up at the end of the rest, but at least it is better than it was. The problem is that by default the menu bar does not show up and it took a while to figure our how to turn it on.
    I think this version may have some advantages once a person gets used to it, but until then.........

  • Typedown Not Working on Album View - iTunes 11.2.1 (1)

    Using iTunes version 11.2.1 (1) on Mavericks
    When I'm in Album view, I used to be able to type a letter and the UI would move to and expand the first Album belonging to the Artist whose first name started with the letter I typed. Note: I'm not typing the letter into the search field, just typing it when Album view has focus.
    This is not woking in the latest 11.2.1 (1) version.... The UI either does not d anything or it goes to a random Album...

    Somebody else just mentioned this.  I don't use the new iTunes so I can't test it.  Consider reporting it to Apple:
