Is it possible to group songs from different albums?

Can I create a copilation ALBUM out of songs from different albums, which are already in the iTunes Library (I mean without changing the album name for each song) ? Or, if possible, without making duplicates. It sounds more like linking songs together in compilation albums. Kinda like creating playlists that are actually albums... compilations. Is it possible?

In iTunes each track can only be in one album. If you want the same song to appear in multiple albums you'll need to make copies. An album in iTunes is any collection of tracks with the same album name and the same album artist (or marked as a compilation). Track order within an album is goverened by disc & track numbers.
See Grouping tracks into albums for gory details.

  • Group songs from one album together

    How do you group together multiple songs all from one album? iTunes imports these as multiple albums all with the same name. It's driving me nuts, why oh why is iTunes nowhere near as good as Windows Media Player?

    If you look at the getinfo page for these tracks. Is there an entry in the Album Artist Field - NOT the ARtist Field. You can put any value you like in here
    eg Various Artist, Artist A and Friends whatever and then if this is the same accross all tracks they should display as one album.
    iTunes 11 seems to have a far more rigorous interpretation of tags compared with iTunes 10 where you did not have to bother with Album Artist.

  • HT1473 how do i group songs from one album

    Sometimes when dowloading a cd to Itunes instead of showing up as one album with all the songs it places the songs that have the artist featuring in another album by itself. how do i tell itunes these are all apart of the same album?

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

  • Same songs from different albums won't download at the same time

    Hi Guys I need your help. So i purchased some albums, Some of them have the same songs, and I want those songs to appear on both albums they're in, but it wont. When the song is downloaded on Album 1, it would disappear from album 2. For example, i purchased an EP and then the deluxe version of it later on., the songs i already have from EP, would no longer download to appear in the deluxe version.. Can I do  something about it so I can have the complete copy of each album I purchased?

    Historically, I've always kept prior versions installed because sometimes, albeit infrequently, I need to access extensions that aren't compatible with the newer versions of CS. Since I can run DW & Fireworks CS4 together, I'm inclined to leave them installed.
    I've thought about uninstalling CS 5, but I don't think that would resolved my issue. I've already tried most of what's in the Adobe troubleshooting suggestions save for creating a new administrator account.
    I think I'll hobble along with my current workarounds since I'll be migrating to a new computer very soon, which should acomplish what creating a new administrator account would. I'll probably limit the reinstall to CS 6 to eliminate any issues that might be related to having multiple versions installed, which in reality shouldn't be an issue because again, I've always done that successfully in the past.
    Thanks for the suggestion just the same.

  • I have 160gb of music on my Classic, 6th Gen (I think) I've just bought it. Is it possible for it to play my songs in a random order, one or two from different albums?

    I have 160gb of music on my Classic, 6th Gen (I think) I've just bought it. Is it possible for it to play my songs in a random order, one or two from different albums?

    To add to what Stonerock has mentioned, you can either create Playlists in your iTunes Library, containing exactly what you want, and then Sync them to your iPod, or you can use the iPod Classic's On-The-Go feature.
    Reading between the lines, I'm going to assume for now that you want to be able to create your preferred listening list while "out and about" - so not near your iTunes library. (You have posted in iPod Classic, after all.) You can do this with the On-The-Go Playlist.
    Look in the Playlists menu on the iPod. It probably contains the Recently Added, Recently Played and other pre-made Playlists that you see in your iTunes Library. At the bottom of the Playlists list, is the On-The-Go showing 0 Songs. Scroll down to it and press the Select (centre) button. The screen will give you instruction on adding songs to the On-The-Go Playlist.
    Basically, if you press-and-hold the Select (centre) button, while highlighting a song, the song title will blink as it is added to the On-The-Go Playlist. Try it, then go back to Playlists/On-The-Go and notice that it will now say 1 Song. (Note, you cannot add a "now playing" song to the On-The-Go Playlist.) Repeat this for every song you want to have in the list. You can also look in the Albums menu, highlight the album title and press-and-hold that to add the complete album to your On-The-Go Playlists with one press. So if you add the two albums to your On-The-Go Playlist, you can then listen to just those two albums.
    To shuffle the songs, turn on Shuffle on your iPod. Either, go into Settings/Shuffle and press the Select button to toggle between Off/Songs/Albums, or on the Now Playing screen, press the Select button three times to reach the Shuffle option, where you use the scroll wheel to move between Off/Songs/Albums, press the Select button to activate it.
    Having added songs to the On-The-Go Playlist, go into it and notice the list of songs and options to Save Playlist (New Playlist 1) or Clear Playlist. If you use Sync to manage your iPod (and that really is the best way by the way), the next Sync will transfer any unsaved On-The-Go and any New Playlist Xs that you have, back to your iTunes Library. You can even remove any song from the current On-The-Go Playlist by highlighting it (in the On-The-Go, obviously) and press-and-holding the Select button.
    If you need assistance in creating a Playlist in your iTunes Library, please ask.

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

    The only way to get songs on an iPhone is by synching the songs from your iTunes library, or purchasing them from the iTunes store on your phone.
    You can search yourself for sites that offer free music.

  • Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?

    Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?
    I have music on my phone which was previsouly on my itunes but I lost everything on my computer, is there anyway to get my music back onto iTunes? I did not purchase this music from iTunes.

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases -  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backuip device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Have you failed to do this?
    If so, then you may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple) to get the songs.

  • Is it possible to download songs from itunes directly on to usb as mp3

    Is it possible to download songs from itunes direct to usb as mp3

    If you are referring to the iTunes Store, then no, because all songs they sell are in AAC format.  You can buy MP3s from other online stores, such as Amazon MP3.

  • Songs from same album not grouped together.

    Hello,
    I just received a new ipod nano (the new ones) as a gift and all though i love it i am having some troubles with Itunes 7,
    the first problem is that iTunes does not group some songs from the same album together, I made sure that all the album details are the same but still I tunes separates certain songs from the album, In case I am not clear here is a link to a screen shoot:
    http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/188/ssngtud2.jpg
    As you can see some songs from System of a downs album "Steal this album" are arranged as separate songs, how can I change this?
    A second problem I have encountered is with compilation specifically with classical music, ITunes slashes the 10 track album into 10 separate songs, although I marked them all as a part of a compilation and set the preferences to display compilations, screen shots;
    http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/2387/ndctt6.jpg
    1. Is there any way ITunes can display these tracks together?
    2. If I move this album to my IPod (after setting it to display compilations) will it show them together as one album?
    Thanks for your help in advance

    For your first problem, make absolutely certain that there are no hidden spaces at the end of the Artist or Album fields. Also check track number of and disk number of fields. Finally, and this may be most likely, make sure that you use the same Album Artist for each song (blank, or System of a Down).
    For the second issue, make sure all songs on the album are marked as "Part of a Compilation", then sort your library as "Album by Artist" (you may need to click the Album header a few times to see that). The Compilations will then be bumped to the bottom of your library. On your iPod, turn Compilations ON to see similar grouping of compilations.

  • Is it possible to download songs from another computer?

    I have a new ipod shuffle that i just got it recently. I dont have internet connection currently because I'm travelling. Is it possible to download songs from another computer. My main computer would be my laptop.

    Yes but it would probably overwrite the songs currently on your iPod when it syncs to the new computer.

  • Is it possible to tranfer songs from iPod to computer?

    Is it possible to tranfer songs from iPod to computer? I was just wondering if my iPod is an adequate back up device for my iTunes files.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The best option is to get an external harddrive for backup. Imagine if your iPod got stolen and your computer crashed. Or your iPod malfunctions when trying to recover music.

  • Is it possible to transfer songs from my ipod to my new laptop?

    Is it possible to transer songs from my ipod to my new laptop? even though I had home share on the last one, it blue screened and won't switch on, and I don't want to lose my music as I only have 1/2 of it backed up on disc.

    Purchased songs can only be downloaded once without having to purchase them again.
    There are some suggestions in this link about how to attempt to recover lost songs using some 3rd party software.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:

  • HT1727 Is it possible to download songs from Itunes to my Droid device-Samsung Nexus. If so how?

    Is it possible to download songs from Itunes to my Droid device-Samsung Nexus. If so how?

    Plug the device into the computer (windows based).
    The computer should detect the device as an external drive.
    Copy the files from the computer to the device.
    Alternatively, Doubletwist is an application that will "sync" from the computer to the device, but personally I found it to be slow and unintuitive.
