HT203167 Single CD to ITunes creates several albums. How can I combine to get album back together

Transferring a single CD to ITunes, I get 2 or 3 'albums', a couple containing only one or 2 songs from the CD. How in ITunes can I combine these separate 'albums' to get the complete album back under one? Or what do I need to do in "import" set up to make sure CD is imported as an album rather than by artist?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • HT204266 If I have a play list of various artists and on this list I have two tracks from the same album how can I combine those two tracks to play as one if I am using the shuffle feature?

    An example would be Jackson Browne's "The Load Out" &" Stay".They should play one after the other but in a play
    list on shuffle setting they don't. How do I combine two songs so they play as one in a shuffled playlist

    When I import my music files to iTunes will I be creating new files for every file I import? If the answer is YES; where are those files going to be stored and how much space will they use?
    To begin with you can't manage FLAC in iTunes. The use of iTunes is at this moment limited to WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, AAC and MP3. But that's not a problem because if I understand you correctly you want to organize the MP3-files in iTunes.
    When you import music files you can let iTunes copy all files and put it in an iTunes-media-Folder. You can make the choice in preferences-->tab advanced.
    If you deselect the second blue checkbox (sorry, in Dutch) iTunes won't copy files as you import the files in your library. It will use the files from the place they are on the disk now. So you have a choice. But if you want iTunes to copy them, they will be placed in a folder called iTunesMedia. This is how it placed on your disk.
    All files will be put in one music folder well ordered by artist and albums. If you want to make a backup of all your music you just have to copy the iTunes folder to another disk. You can backup all music at once. How much space they will use depends on the bitrate of the MP3 and whether you add more tagging to it. You can have iTunes add album artwork. That means adding gif or jpg files to your library. Are you using bitrate 320 for your MP3?
    If you tell me I can give you estimates on the disk-space you will need.

  • Lost my Itunes Library... how can I put the older one back on?

    Okay well i started iTunes and it asked me to load my library ... so i just did one but it was an older one that had like only 100 songs... now i lost my really big one with over thousands of songs and playlist...i cant even connect my ipod because it will delete everything..
    1- How can i get the older Itunes library back...
    I didnt lose my music files and all but I just dont want to lost my playlist and all the PLAY counts and everything.

    that maybe happened because you moved your music files...
    I store all my music in an external HD and when i dont have it hooked up iTunes displays everything with a question mark ... but thats normal ... so when i do connect the HD i have to go in my preferences and change the iTunes folder to my external HD. then everything is back...
    But right now im so mad at this stupid iTunes because i lost all my plays!!!! its nice to see songs u played 50 times and others 30 and then you make playlsit called "TOP 50 rock" etc... now its all gone... anyway i can get this back?

  • ITunes - 2 user accounts - How do I combine to get one set of Playlists ...

    I am very new to Mac. I have 2 user accounts set-up (really would rather have only one), and the iTunes is different under each account. I would like to only have one set of iTunes Music library and Playlists. Can anyone help me out?

    No, you need firewire (if your Mac has a FW port) - see some info here under setup:
    http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html
    To go back to the startup menu, you can use recovery - see info here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    You'd basically start with key commands Command + Option + R, choose Disk Utility to erase the drive and then Apple's servers will reinstall the OS. Once that is done, the setup will begin and Setup Asst will be offered in the beginning (it's only offered once - you decline and you have to use Migration Asst or start over).

  • How do you combine artists and albums in itunes?

    I just recently bought an iPod classic and am now using iTunes to edit my prolific library of music so that I can put it on my iPod.  I have much editing to do of songs, artists, albums, etc.  I am finding that some of my songs are broken up from the album they should be on, and yet the name of the album is the same and it still appears separate from the main album.  I also have some artists who are broken up as well, even though they have the same name.  How can I combine artists, albums, etc into one file?  I want all the songs from an album to be under one album and all albums to be under one artist, not two with the same name.  This was very easy to do in Windows Media Player but can't figure out how to combine songs to one album or combine artists to show up once under one file.  HELP!

    If you are on a PC and want to sync photos to the iPhone this is how you do it. First, create a folder and place the pictures that you want on the iPhone in that folder. You can copy them, or move them into that folder, whichever. Once you connect the iPhone to iTunes, from the Summary screen, click on the tab for photos. In that section, tell iTunes what folder you want to sync to the phone. It is better to make the folder you want to sync in "My Pictures" that is located in the "My Documents" folder. iTunes automatically looks at the "My Pictures" folder and can sync all photos, or you can choose particular folders. I have a folder called iPhone pictures that is in the My Pictures folder, and I tell iTunes to sync just that particular folder.
    Hope that helps you.

  • Some albums I put on my Mac to later sync with a Touch appears as seperate tracks and not a single album.  How do I get them back together again other than a playlist.  I do not want the tracks showing up as albums on the Touch?

    Are your tracks pat of a collection? Different artists, but still one album? Then mark them a s acollection or set the album artist. See this guide on how to group separate tracks into albums:

  • I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

    I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

    You can't. It doesn't work that way.
    the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums

    how can i save a photo album that i created on my iPhone 4s on my PC?  I have about 10 albums and I want to save them in their own folders on the PC.  When hooking up the phone to the PC, all i see is the individual photos.  I have an iMac and a sony vaio, so i am open to transfer on either machine.
    Thanks in advance

    Have you had any luck with this? I want to do the same thing and my individual photo albums on my iPhone won't tranfer to my laptop or iPad....only the pictures.

  • How can I combine two iTunes accounts?

    I had an iTunes account at home then created another at work. How can I combine the two? 
    When I received an iPad2 at work, I was required to have/initiate an account during the setup process.  I couldn't remember what email address my personal iTunes account was under, so I set up another and began using it to load required and desired apps on my iPad.  Openning my windows laptop for the first time in months, I now see that my personal iTunes account was under a really old email address (which is why I couldn't recall it at work).
    The (old) personal account has many podcasts and personal music, yet the new iPad account is linked to my work apps.  Is it possible to merge the two?

    Hi vwalker,
    I have the same issue, but it seems that Apple will not let you merge itunes accounts.  Refer to this FAQ, specifically the text below:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    This is the original website: http://support.apple.com/kb/he37
    Now I have to add that this is rather disappointing as I have some purchases on my old itunes account which I would like to merge into my current iTunes account (which was created due to an oversight).  The oversight was, I thought my original iTunes was converted to @me.com one when I signed up for the 90 day trial to use mobileme services.
