Imported songs are listed by artist but I want them listed by album. How?

Whenever I import an album, iTuneswill save it in a folder named afterthe artist, but I want iTunes to create a new folder by album name instead. Anyone able to help me fix this, if it's possible?

If you've enabled "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" in iTunes Preferences Advanced General iTunes will create a folder "ArtistName" with subfolders "Album" - no way to change this behaviour, except disabling this feature and creating a structure manually.

  • I have songs from icloud showing on more than one device but only want them on one so how do i delete them

    Can some tell me how i can not have the songs showing on more than one device for my account

    it wont let you swipe to the left on songs that have the cloud next to them
    That's correct - it only deletes them from your phone, not from iCloud
    If you go into Settings, Music and set Show All Music to Off, you will only see the songs that are actually on the phone.
    One other tip - once you've deleted the songs/lists you no longer want, restart the phone (hold the Home and Sleep buttons for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears) to make sure the songs are gone.

  • Songs are syncing to phone but some songs not showing in the playlist, you have to manually search for them...

    Hi guys,
    All music is syncing across from my purchased items to my phone... However, some are missing from the 'purchased' playlist and I can only come across them when scrolling through the 'Artist' or 'Song' menu. I then have to manually add them back to my purchased playlist.
    Is there any way to stop this?
    I want all my 'purchased' songs in that playlist and then have all of my other music from CDs in their individual ones (which works fine).
    This happens for about 5/6 every time and it's a nightmare trying to work out which ones are missing so to speak unless I stumble upon then.
    So basically, the songs ARE on the phone but not showing in the playlist, just to make that clear.
    Many thanks in advance...

    This sounds very similar to an issue that I experienced.  There was a phantom 6G assigned to movies even when no movies were on my iPad.  I could make the phantom 6G come and go by checking/unchecking the "Sync Movies" box in iTunes.
    First, try a system reset.  It probably won't fix your problem but it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    There is one other thing that you can try but I don't want to describe it unless the above doesn't help.

    Have you looked at the settings in iTunes.  Is music syncing manual or automatic.  More info please.  I would try removing all restrictions as an initial test.

  • How do I get Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track

    How do I get stupid Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track #3 is a duet w/ "Jane Doe", it treats it as a separate album! What can I do

    Hi
    All my tracks are MP3.
    In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column.  If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
    If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

  • I can make individuals match to target areas (as there are tutorials for that) but i want each one

    hi in drag and drop  I can make individuals match to target areas (as there are tutorials for that) but i want each one to be able to slide in to any target area (and someday i want to create a solve button which will then place each element in the correct place).
    can any one help me with it

    I changed your mUp function to allow each movieclip to be placed on any target and to be reset to its original position if it is not on any target. I added the code for a button to position each movieclip to its correct target.
    import fl.transitions.Tween;
    import fl.transitions.easing.*;
    //Array to hold the target instances, the drop instances,
    //and the start positions of the drop instances.
    var hitArray:Array = new Array(hitTarget1,hitTarget2,hitTarget3);
    var dropArray:Array = new Array(drop1,drop2,drop3);
    var positionsArray:Array = new Array();
    //This adds the mouse down and up listener to the drop instances
    //and add the starting x and y positions of the drop instances
    //into the array.
    for (var i:int = 0; i < dropArray.length; i++)
              dropArray[i].buttonMode = true;
              dropArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mdown);
              dropArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mUp);
              positionsArray.push({xPos:dropArray[i].x, yPos:dropArray[i].y});
    //This drags the object that has been selected and moves it;
    //to the top of the display list. This means you can't drag
    //this object underneath anything.
    function mdown(e:MouseEvent):void
              e.currentTarget.startDrag();
              setChildIndex(MovieClip(e.currentTarget), numChildren - 1);
    //This stops the dragging of the selected object when the mouse is
    //released. If the object is dropped on the corresponding target
    //then it get set to the x and y position of the target. Otherwise
    //it returns to the original position.
    function mUp(e:MouseEvent):void
              var dropIndex:int = dropArray.indexOf(e.currentTarget);
              var target:MovieClip = e.currentTarget as MovieClip;
              target.stopDrag();
              for (var i:String in hitArray)
                        if (target.hitTestObject(hitArray[i]))
                                  target.x = hitArray[i].x;
                                  target.y = hitArray[i].y;
                                  return;
              target.x = positionsArray[dropIndex].xPos;
              target.y = positionsArray[dropIndex].yPos;
    // setRight is the instance name of the new button to reposition each
    // moveable movieclip to the correct target clip
    setRight.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,reset);
    // this function moves each movieclip to the correct target using a tween
    function reset(event:MouseEvent):void {
              for(var n:String in dropArray) {
              var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(dropArray[n],"x",Strong.easeOut,dropArray[n].x,hitArray[n].x,3,true);
              var myTweenY:Tween = new Tween(dropArray[n],"y",Strong.easeOut,dropArray[n].y,hitArray[n].y,3,true);

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • I want to configure Firefox to only accept cookies from a specific list of websites, but my "Allow Exceptions" list is deleted when Firefox closes.

    I want to configure Firefox to only accept cookies from a specific list of websites, but my "Allow Exceptions" list is deleted when Firefox closes. (Firefox 5.0)

    @dmcritchie:
    ''How do you expect to keep cookies for certain sites, if you wipe out all of your cookies when the session ends or you clear the same history through the Tools menu''
    If you mean from session-to-session, I don't expect it to keep cookies. That's the whole point. Every time Firefox is opened, I want it to write a new cookie, and keep that cookie until it closes and no longer than that. (Perhaps I should clarify: I don't mean session in the networking sense but rather in the period of time when one starts using Firefox until Firefox closes.) The behavior I want is for it to be able to write cookies when open, but only for specific sites, and then forget about them on close.
    I should also mention that your responses are worthless to me because you don't explain anything. For instance, the quote above is ''not'' obvious from your reply of "Make sure you are not clearing cookies". You need to explain this; what is obvious in a reading for you is not obvious for everyone.
    Furthermore, how is "Site Preferences" related to "everything on the right-side"? (Not to mention that it's unclear what you mean by "right-side.")

    Click on the iPhone Subsection, then go to the music subsection, and remeber to enable the sync music. When you are done, click on the APPLY button on the lower right of iTunes. Afterwards, sync your iPhone. Hope this helps!
