[iOS][Your Music] Album sort by artist is out of order

After the 3.4.0.684 update for IOS, the album sort by artist is out of order. It looks like the sort is only factoring in the first letter in the sort as seen below. Can the old sort methodology be put back in.

Your Music -- Album View under Artists [iOS]

When navigating the "artists" menu under "Your Music," please group the albums together when there is more than one so we can quickly find and play a specific album, rather than just placing all the songs by that aritsts in a list.

The new update to Spotify is a massive step forward for me. No longer will I scroll down and down and down and down to find a new album in my playlists. Brilliant!
But...Something is still missing.
The problem with the current versio of "Your Music" is that you can loose the ability to enjoy the music as the artisit indeeded, via their album. They spend days deciding what order to have the album, and with the current version of Spotify it makes it harder for you to pick out an album from the new "Your Music". All you can do is read the name under each track and work it out from there.
This is a simple fix for me. Just make the "Your Music" artisit page the same as the "Artist" page. Group the songs by album and allow is to play an album on its own.

How do I print a list albums sorted by artist

iTunes 12.1.2.27 Windows 7 SP 1 (64 bit)
I would like to generate a list of albums in my library sorted by artist. This used to work fine before I upgraded to iTunes 12 last fall by using File > Print > Album listing / Theme: List of albums.
Since the iTunes 12 upgrade the list is generated sorted by album title and not by artist. I have my View options set to Albums - Sort by Artist them by Title.
Even though the theme clearly states sorted by artist, it generated a list sorted by album title. How do I fix this so that it generates what the theme description states?
Thanks for your help and insight in restoring the old print behavior.

Hi ed,
I am on iTunes 12.1.2.27 ... but what I get is albums sorted by title in both the preview and the output file. This behavior has been consistent since I upgraded to iTunes 12 ... with iTunes 11 it did work like what you are seeing. I do think it is some sort of bug ... iTunes 12 was not the smoothest software upgrade I have see. I did run into a lot of lock-ups and trashing of album art in the 12,0 releases but this latest release (12.1.2.27) seems to be have taken care of most of those issues.
I might look into doing a complete removal of iTunes and then try a new clean reinstall but I was hoping that maybe there was some setting, or config file parameter, that might fix this..
Thanks for your response.

7.3 - Artists now out of order

Well the update thing popped up and asked me to update to iTunes 7.3 a little while ago and I did. The problem is, now some of the artists are out of order. I listen to two bands with odd names I guess, !!! and +/-. Prior to the update, these artists were listed perfectly fine right above my first "A" bands. Now they're not just at the bottom, they're all out of order too. Their albums aren't even grouped together or anything and they're mixed in with my Unknown Artist songs. It seems like anything that starts with a number or weird character is now acting really strangely and won't go where it's supposed to. Any ideas?

OOPS sorry now I see that alpha list was the way it read into the readers.
Clicking on numerica does get them in 'play' order and it is ok.
Why isn't is read in in play order?.. oh well that is not a biggy at least it will sound right.
Don't know how to delete..so will mark solved..if I can.

[iOS][Your Music] Give us a way to browse our "premium zone" offline music

I used to be able to easily find my offline albums on the go by searching for the little green symbol next to an album or playlist name. Now that symbol has been removed, and there is apparently no way to navigate the new offline music section beyond "Listen Now" and "suggested for you." What is the point of the offline music tab if it has actually taken away the ability to browse your offline music, and what is unique about this apparently functionless "premium zone?" Cheers for reading. This is on Iphone5s, on version 8.4

Updated: 2015-07-14Hello and thanks for the feedback!
A similar idea has also been suggested here:

Add your kudos and comments there please! ;)
You should still be able to browse your offline music when entering the 'Library' tab and filter the sections for offline content.

[Your Music] add link in artist page to the artist page in my library

in an artist page, near "play" and "follow" buttons, a new button "in my library" will be added.when the user clicks the button, he navigates to the artist page in his library (now accessible through "Artists" under "Your Music") this will make displaying the user's saved songs for this artist somewhat user-friendly with a tiny implementation effort.

The music in my iTunes library are out of order...***

This new version of iTunes doesn't allow you to resort your music. The only music i can sort out are the music in the Purchased section of mu library but that does not automatically sort out music in my "Library". How the heck do you fix this? They are arranged in alphabetical order and i didn't do this. Help !

If you want a sensible album friendly order click the heading of the Album column one or more times until it reads Album by Artist.
To manually order a playlist select the heading of the left-most column of numbers, you can then drag items up or down the list. The is the Play Order.
When you have sorted the list on some other column heading you can right-click on the playlist name in the sidebar and use the option Copy to Play Order so you can use that as an initial order to manually refine.

Artists sync out of order randomly

So I just got the iPhone 4 (not 4S) and i upgraded it to iOS5 and i have iTunes 10. Everything was fine, but out of nowhere sometimes when I sync new songs it pushes all of my artists down out of alphabetical order, making half of my "B" artists under "C", half of my "C" artists under "D", half of my "D" artists under "E", etc etc etc. WHY?! I've had to completely unsync my music and resync it twice now. Not very happy about that.

For the tracks that seem out of order, check the sort order or album artist in the track info. Both can change how songs get listed.

How do I keep imported albums featuring various artists in one list?

I'm new to iTunes and have not figured out how to create a single library listing when importing CD's that feature various artists. iTunes always creates separate library listings for each artist, spreading them across the library in alphabetical order. I can make a single playlist from all of the library listings, but I'd rather that the album just lists as a single listing in the library. (the song order gets messed up)
Has anyone figured out how to accomplish this? Many thanks in advance.

As Zevoneer pointed out, first thing to do is select all the tracks in the compilation album, do a Get Info and make sure they are checked off as "Part of a Compilation".
Next all you have to do is click on the "Album" heading and it will change to Album By Artist, then clicking again Album By Year and one more time brings you back to Album.
As it turns out, both the Album by Artist and Album by Year sort by artist first in the list then either by album name (Album By Artist) or the Year (Album by Year).
Finally, go into Preference and in the main (General) tab there is a check box for "Group Compilation while browsing". Check this box.
Now if you sort by the other two "Album" sorts (by artist or by year), your main library will be listed by artist alphabetically. Then within each artist the albums but alphabetical or by year. And finally, if you scroll down to the bottom your list, you will find your compilation albums grouped nicely together by album rather than scattered all over the library.
Cheers,
Patrick

Sort by Artist / Date in List View

I like to have my albums sorted by Artist and then chronologically by Release Date
This is fine in Grid View as i can sort by Artist and within that by Date.
But when i switch to List View it sorts by Artist and within that by Album Title.
There doesn't appear to be an option to specify a secondary sort field in List View.
I could live with this in iTunes since I browse in Grid Mode
but I presume it will download to my ipod in List View.
So am i missing a trick here - is there a way around this?

Would you like some suggestions of where you can get help for that? Economy is in the toilet, people are out of work, losing thier homes, can't retire after working for decades, etc. but that a couple albums released in the same calendar year don't sort in order of release in iTunes...

How can this be? They are so particular about everything and they don't see this as a problem for serious music people?
I can remember before there was such a thing as iTunes and people actually listened to their music and enjoyed it. It didn't matter when they last heard the song, how many times they have heard it, didn't have to write down which were their favorites and which were not, we just knew which ones we liked, etc.. Not anymore. Now people are concerned more with how many times a song has been played, ranking their library in order of their favorites, being sure to know when they last played some song, the order of two albums released in 1968 (even though the "serious music people" should just know that), etc.
It makes me wonder if people actually listen to their music anymore since they seem much too busy cataloging, sorting, rating, and making sure their playcounts get updatred correctly. I honestly think iTunes may have messed up the way people listen to and enjoy music now. It is kind of sad really.

[solved] ncmpcpp - album sort?

Have recently set up a headless server for my multimedia needs. Since I control it via ssh I had to install a console music player and have decided on mpd/ncmpcpp. One thing that bugs me is that the Media Library sorts with Artist as the first criteria. Even in the 2-column view where Album takes precedence, it is still Album (sorted by artist), which is kind of silly since I can get that already in the 3 column view. And so it is difficult to access my albums which are compilations of many artists. Is there any way I can have "Album" and see all the songs in that album in the next column?
Or failing which are there any other console players I can use?

Thats what the albumartist tag is for. And ncmpcpp supports this one just fine. just add tag "albumartist = Soundtrack" (for example) on those albums.
to make ncmpcpp sort media library using this tag, hit ` and then A for albumartist.
**edit** also make sure, to add the albumartist tag to the supported ones in mpd.conf

Better Import of Local Files to Integrate with Your Music

I switched to Spotify because it let me import my local files. With "Your Music" this has the potential to get even better.
Spotify would be amazing if it scanned your local files and added those songs, albums, and artists to the Songs, Albums, and Artists sections in My Music automatically.
Even better, my local files are not exactly local, they're stored on an external drive, and I've love to have Spotify be able to switch to a Spotify version if the local version is not available (i.e. when I'm not connected to the drive) or it's just taking a long time to load.

If we could do this to better integrate local files with the Your Music album and artist views, I could migrate away from using iTunes on my desktop. It would be nice as well for this to integrate into the search function. I actually use the search function more than the other parts of the Your Music view (even though I love those views and gladly welcome them) because it's faster. If local files could integrate in there (for things that aren't on Spotify), I would never use iTunes.
For example. I want to listen to [Band A] that isn't on Spotify. I go to the search bar, type in their name, it appears on the results just like something on Spotify. I click on their name and am taken to an artist page to see all of their albums that are stored on my computer. This is different from the filter search for local files because that search does not give an option to better narrow down results to see only one album or all albums by one artist.

Hi - Re Keynote I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album on USB flash drive. What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. Is this possible with Keynote ?

Hi - Re Keynote I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album (as an artist) on USB flash drive, (accessible by both Mac and PC). What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, and play in order (like a cd) - also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. This should all be on the one page.
Is this possible with Keynote, or any other software package for Mac (am using Macbook Pro) ?

Hi there,
Yikes, it sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on this project... Unfortunately, however, this isn't the Adobe Encore forum, but the Acrobat.com forum. While it seems like an exciting question, we're not able to address issues pertaining to other Adobe products and services.

Artists listed out of alphabetical

Hi,
Just got my MBP about a month ago and realized that my iTunes listing by artist is out of order (alphabetically). For example, I have artists listed in A, then it jumps to some E artists, then it goes back to B. The problem of jumping back and forth between letters persists throughout the entire alphabet from A to Z.
I know that you can just click at the top of the Artist column to sort alphabetically, and I have done so, but the problem still persists. I tried looking at all of the other headings (album artist, track number, etc.) and couldn't find a pattern to the random alphabetical order.
I've tried searching for this issue on previous threads, but didn't find any other similar circumstances. If it has, then I'm sorry but could you please send me the link. If not, then any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have the same problem after upgrading to 10.1. It was fine in other iterations of iTunes. Itʻs not just artists, itʻs movies, tv episodes, everything. It doesn't matter what the sort is (whether itʻs fixed so it does not sort with "the", i.e. it sorts The Eagles as Eagles, The. In the end, I jump fro Ayumi Hamaski to The Eagles (sorted as Eagles, The), then it jumps again to Incubus.. all throughout my 4000+ music library!
HELP!
