I ripped a 2-CD album to iTunes on my PC. It downloaded as 5 separate albums. Is there a way to combine those back into the original one album?

Yes there is tho it may get pretty redundant if you have many 2-CD albums as i had once. Using the "control" key select all five albums. Right click the selected albums and select "Get Info". If this is your first time it may ask you if you are sure you want to edit multiple albums. Click "Yes". Fill in / affirm the correctness of the grid in fron of you. Check all of the boxes BUT THE TRACK # BOXES AND ARTWORK . This will tell iTunes that all of the albums are one and the same. click "ok". One album with the correct title should appear. Select all the tracks that were on the second disk and again right click and select get info. enter into the disk # space "2" of "2". If your version of iTunes is up-to-date this will make it a 2 disk album. If you would like you get select "Get Info" again just to make sure all is good.
Hope this helps.

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location. They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

I have some pics that I inadvertently put on quick time. Is there any way to get them back into my album without them being a movie

I have inadvertently put some pics of my vacation on quick time. How can I get them back into my photo album as regular pics?

I think there is an option to save a screen/snap-shot or "Still" in quicktime.

How to combine mutiple tracks into one album in itunes 12

Make sure they all have the same Album Artist and Album Name.

When I import a commercial CD itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the other album by it self. How can I combine them all into one album and why is itunes doing this?

When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created. Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?

I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track. That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty). It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?

Combine different artists into one album

I just downloaded O Brother, Where Art Tho? into my library. Each song is by a different artist and I want to combine all into one album. Same with Eric Clapton. He did one song with Blind Faith, one with Cream, etc and I want them all under 'The Cream of Eric Clapton' not under each group. How can this be done?

Is this in iTunes?
There is a separate discussion group for iTunes.
In iTunes, select the album and Get Info.
Check the box that says, "Compilation".
The album will show under the artist heading "Compilations".

Combining several songs into one album

I have numerous songs from different artists that I want to combine into one album, so that when I browse using either Cover Flow or Album View, all those songs will be listed under one album. After over two hours of searching on the Internet I found this very useful site:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304389
The problem that I am encountering is the one illustrated under the heading "Albums with various artists." After following all the recommendations, I am still encountering the same problem - each song is listed under a separate album. Anyone have any idea what to do? For the record I have already tried these remedies:
-Selected all the songs and changed the album name so that they all have the exact same album name
-Selected all the songs and changed the album artist name so that they all have the exact same album artist name
-Selected all the songs and set "compilation" to "yes"
-In Preferences, under the General tab I checked "Group compilations when browsing"
Thank you in advance.

The albums will only show up under the same cover in Cover Flow if you are sorting by Album or Album by Artist.

What is the best way to put various songs into one album?

I have been adding album information and album artwork within iTunes to take advantage of cover flow, but i have a lot of songs in my music library that are "stand alone" songs - it is the only song from that artist. I want to put all of these songs together in one album, so all of my miscellaneous rock songs will be put into a Rock Music album or file. I want to do this to eliminate all of the grey boxes within cover flow for all of these songs. When i give the files all the same album name (Rock Music) and album artist (Various Artists) it still does not put them all together within iTunes. It will do it for some, but not all.
What is the best way to put all of these miscellaneous songs into the same album?

Try marking all the tracks as part of a compilation. Click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last. Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items say yes. Change compilation at the bottom of the window to Yes.

I have an album which has split all the songs, how do i consolidate it back into one album

I have an album that has been split into individual songs each showing as an album. The songs have been put into one folder labelled with the album name. How do I merge all of the songs so that they apear in one album?

Try to re-download the album

I purchased CDs and imported them into my iTunes and when the artists has other artists featured on the tracks it separates these tracks into a different album. How can I consolidate these back into one album?

I have CDs that I've purchased from music stores (ie. Best Buy) and have imported them into my itunes library. The problem is that iTunes has separated all the tracks that feature another artist into a separate album. I want all the songs filed under the same album, so that when I play the whole album, I can hear all the songs. Also when the album work is not showing up on some of these CDs. How can I fix this?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

HT1399 I've copied more than one CD into iTunes that had various artists; the result is the CD is not recognized as one item, but only as separate songs by multiple artists. Is there a way to combine those separate songs back into the original "album" in

My question is in the subject line. Don't know why I have to put info here? Isn't this seen as an answer?

From Song View, select all of the tracks, then hit Ctrl-I (Get Info). On the "Options" tab, change "Part of a compilation" to "Yes". Click "OK" to save.
For individual tracks, there is also a compilation checkbox at the bottom right of the Get Info "Info" tab.

How can I consolidate a Various Artist album into one album?

When I imported a Various Artists CD to Itunes, it brought up an icon for each individual song in the album menu. Is there a way to consolidate them back into one individual album?

Got it answered from another post, thanks.

I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which was unknown imported as single tracks. How can I combine these into one album

I've been importing all my old CDs into itunes but one of them which came up as unknown has imported as single tracks named track 1, track 2 etc. It wasn't an obscure CD (Paul Carrack - the journey so far) but not one that's available in the itunes store. I've manually changed the track names but they all appear as single tracks in the "Albums" section. Is there a way to put them all into an album to show up as an album with the other albums. Other "unknown" CDs I imported have imported with the correct track names but just don't have the album artwork so I don't understand why this one is behaving totally different?

If you select the tracks all together in iTunes/ Songs then go to File/Get info you will be asked "Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple items?" Go ahead and you can make them into an album, putting in the artist name, etc.

A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing. How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed. How can I combine them to make one album?

First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved. Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue! I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info". However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album. I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library. I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can. Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this. Thanks so much for your patience!

Combiining music tracks into one album

I recently recorded a few tracks from a CD album into my iPod Touch and each track shows up on my music screen as a separate album (all showing the same album cover art). How do I combine these tracks into one album/ help!

Welcome to AD!
Usually, they all need to have the same exact tags for Album & Album Artist.
Or maybe the "Part of a Compilation" checkbox is giving problems.
This article has some good examples
