Is it possible to sort a 2CD compilation album where each CD has a different "album artist" together as one album in iTunes?

I have an album which I am trying to sort correctly in iTunes.
It has 2CDs of tracks by various artists, it is set up as a 'compilation' and I have 'album artist' set up. 
As far as I can see all the settings are correct, however CD1 is a compilation of tracks remixed by "artist A" and CD2 is a compilation of tracks remixed by "artist B" therefore  becasue each disc has a different album artist, the album is split into two seperate albums on album view.
Is there any way to get this to display as one album?
The album is released as "Artist A" so for now I have set that name as the 'album artist' for CD2 as well to get round it but would ideally like to have the second CD labelled correctly with the second artist's information.
I suppose I could also use "Arist A / Artist B" for both CDs but would prefer not to do this as well so that it would be grouped with other (solo) albums from these artists.
Cheers for any help!

Your options are to treat this as one collective album by the joint Album Artists, or as two separate albums by them as individuals, or I suppose you could duplicate the entire album and do both.

  • When sorting my music in iTunes by artist, the albums are split up into multiple different albums. Any help?

    I have just recently downloaded the Californication album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I like to sort my iTunes by artist. But then if I want to see all the albums by an artist, it shows that I have multiple Californication albums. 3 or 4 songs will show up on each of the "other" Californication albums. How do I get them to all sit together under one album cover, when I sort by artist? Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    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.

  • Is it possible to sort by multiple fields?

    Is it possible to sort the music library by multiple fields in a prioritised order? For example, I would like to sort by the following columns, in the following order:
    Album Artist
    Album
    Track Number
    for some reason I can't seem to do this, sorting by Album artist alone is not working for me, as some CD's I've imported have featured artists and this breaksup the listing order.
    Thanks

    Thanks Thomas
    Unfortunately, this solution did not work for me, cover flow still shows multiple instances of the same artwork for various groups of tracks from the same album.
    The thing I don't understand is why sorting by the "sort album artist" field does not group all the tracks from an album together.
    My specific example (I still can't get a screenshot posted):
    I have two Gwen Stefani albums, both ripped from CD (not imported from the itunes store). both albums have a majority of track where Gwen is the only artist and two or three track with featured artists. I have filled the "album artist" and "sort album artist" tags to all read Gwen Stefani, however, if I sort by either of these columns (in cover flow mode), what I get is this:
    all the tracks from one ablum where Gwen Stefani is the artist
    then all the tracks from the other album where Gwen Stefani is the artist
    then (in alphabetical order by featured artist) the remaining tracks from both albums - ie, the albums are mixed up
    for each group of track I see an cover flow art work.
    I should say that I have turned off the compilation tag on all of my albums because this ends up saving the file in a compilation folder, not in the artist folder on my hard drive - but it doesn't make a difference either way to the way I see the files sorted in itunes.
    It's really frustrating!

  • PhE11: No possibility to sort my pictures by file name !  Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9)  Tha

    There is in PHE 11 Editorno longer a possibility to sort my pictures by file name !  Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9)  That creates a big problem working with my thousands of files !

    dear Brett N
    I am a new macbook user forced to give up Digital Image Pro (winXP), and looking for a photo program that sorts BY NAME. REPEAT BY NAME.
    I was ready to purchase PSE11, but luckily I read this forum and saw that in your infinite wisdom you spared every expense and removed this function.
    I have no need for face recognition, type of photo, etc.
    Should I abandon 15 years of files all sorted by where they were taken?
    I think not. For you to do this to previous owners shows a blatant disregard for them.
    I will look elsewhere and not to a Photoshop product.
    Should you provide an update that corrects this I would consider installing it on my 2 new Apple machines. Hurry though......

  • Is it possible to sort a playlist alphabetically...

    Is it possible to sort a PLAYLIST or ARTIST songlist alphabetically in itunes and retain that order on ipod (Classic)? Some of my playlists or artist's songlists have literally hundreds of songs and it is cumbersome to try to locate a particular song when using the ipod. I realize that the songs are alphabetized under the song category but I would like them alphabetized by song in a particular playlist or artist songlist for ease of access. Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it? Thanks in advance

    Anyone? I agree with @sully1961 – I have a playlist for "4 & 5 star" tracks and sometimes would like to listen to a specific track followed by other 4 & 5 star rated tracks. As it is now, they sort by album and I can never find what I'm looking for. I swear in the past the sort order was maintained from the sort order in iTunes – am I mistaken?

  • Is it possible to sort text/imessages in alphabetical order??

    Is it possible to sort text/iMessages into alphabetical order instead of just by date??  Would be great to have the option to sort by different filters or even to initiate a search of a particular subject/word or persons name.

    Didnt think so.  APPLE!!!  Would be good to have please!!!

  • RE: Is it possible to sort tags?

    This is a continuation of the Support Forum question titled: “Is it possible to sort tags?” located at:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963133?esab=a&as=s&r=2&page=1
    If this new topic has to be posed as a new question the following applies.
    If you visit the above link you will learn how convoluted were the solutions provided to non-programmers.
    I CERTAINLY EXPECTED THAT BY NOW there would have been an effort to address the Tag sorting issue, since there have been a number of upgrades since this question was first posted. Tag sorting provides a much more robust browser many more would choose to use. It would also attract more users concerned about the control on our liberties if supplied with a browser that truly has more powerful capabilities to garner and access information.
    One of the points the Firefox Team uses to attract more to use it is the protection it gives from snoops. You’ve got to ask yourself how much protection that might be if developers can’t do something simple (for talented programmers) like provide tag sorting. That comment is from, basically, a non-programmer, so I have no idea how much code would have to be written to bring this about. I suspect they don’t either and possibly fear the effort might turn out to be much greater than it really is.
    It’s been a LONG time since I used Internet Explorer by Microsoft. What brought me to Firefox was their mission statement to provide access free of its own brand of commercialism and free usage of the Internet, which also implied an effort to protect privacy. For the same reasoning I would not use Google, after reports of their cooperation with government heads in China. Reports have also surfaced that Microsoft has provided a back-door to the NSA for their Internet Search engine, all of this in total disregard to the US Constitution’s 4th Amendment requiring a warrant from a court to prevent unreasonable searches and seizures. I would, however, wish that Firefox would OPENLY adhere to the Bill of Rights in their Privacy Policy, which is not stated in so many words. Many would say, “I don’t have anything to hide, so I don’t care.” Apparently they are unaware how dirty politics and politicians can be. This is the reason why a viable alternative, such as Firefox, is so important.
    If you wish to learn more about just one individual who has dedicated his life in service to this country in terms of providing liberty to the widest possible number along with a promise to use the wealth he has built throughout his life (except for the necessity of living in exile), visit the following:

    This is just one of the links that would be a lot easier to access, were it possible to sort Tags.
    Is this off-topic? Not really.

    HI MozillaFirefoxNewbie,
    Thank you for your question, even though this is not off topic, the points made would have a better audience in a feature proposal in Bugzilla. Please check out the features and description here:
    [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&component=Bookmarks%20%26%20History]
    As mentioned in the previously posted thread, there was a work around provided by [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963133#answer-462676 jscher] that sounded functional.
    However if there is no extension desired, I encourage to proved the steps and objective of the feature.
    If you open up the Bookmark Library however and click the drop down of 'Tags', they are in alphabetical order.
    Have you tried this built into Firefox?
    Cheers

  • Is it possible to disable the optimized compiler in LabVIEW 2010

    Hello,
    I have a project that take 3 minutes in LabVIEW 8.6 to build and now with LabVIEW 2010 it take 10.5 minutes. 3x more longer.
    In fact my project as 61 .lvproj for a total of 4300 vi's that take 1 hour to build. If I interpolate, the entire build process will take 3 hours in LabVIEW 2010. This is not acceptable
    I know that the new compiler optimize the code for better performance, but if I don't need better performance.
    Is it possible to disable the optimized compiler in LabVIEW 2010 with an INI key in LabVIEW.ini.

    One Application Builder setting you might try out to make builds go much more quickly is the Remove Unused Members of Project Libraries checkbox and the Modify Project Library File after Removi....
    This can drastically cut down the build times. Note, however, that this option does not work well if your application will load external plug-in VIs when it runs, because the libraries of those plug-in VIs may conflict with the modified libraries in the executable file. If you don't have a plug-in architecture, this will not affect you.
    The "Remove unused members of project libraries" was already selected but not the "Modify project library file after removing unused members" and selecting this cut the build time from 10.5 min to 4 min.
    Thank you Jarrod for this tips

  • Is it possible to sort reminders

    I'm excited to have reminders synch overicloud but is it possible to sort reminders by importance?  Also it would be great to be able to rate importance directly through the interface rather than having to go to info tab

    Both of your questions or statements are not possible at this time. Those are great features indeed, and I strongly encourage you to submit it through apple.com/feedback

  • Is it possible to sort the list of Conditions/Calculations?

    Is it possible to sort the list of Conditions/Calculations so that they display alphabetically in the list?
    My list of conditions is getting quite long and haphazard now!
    Cheers
    Sapphie

    I was afraid of that!. It is very disappointing because , as I am developing a set of reports for the first time, I will create conditions/calculations in quite a non-ordered way and then end up wanting to group similar ones together.
    Hopefully a future version will allow this?

  • Is it possible to SORT the Login Items on

    Is it possible to SORT the Login Items on
    Apple - System Preferences - System - Accounts - Login Items?
    Useful to load one of them before or after the others.
    Thanks?

    I don't think you can sort them like that but you can achieve this by using apple script.
    for example if you want to launch Mail first and Safari second, paste the following into script editor and save it as an application.
    tell application "Mail" to launch
    tell application Safari to launch
    You can also put a delay between the two:
    tell application "Mail" to launch
    delay 3
    tell application Safari to launch
    this will put a delay of 3 seconds between launches. Now remove Safari and Mail from login items and put the app you made using apple script there instead.

  • Is it possible to sort the songs which have an exclamation by them because they won't play?

    Is it possible to sort the songs which won't play and have an exclamation sign against them.
    I have just upgraded to Windows 7 which may have caused the problem as they played ok before.

    Lost & Found playlists
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
    If the files still exist on the computer my FindTracks script may be able to help reconnect iTunes to them.

  • Is it possible to sort the Aperture Library by Lens used

    Is it possible to sort the Aperture Library by Lens used? And get statistics on the different Lenses used?
    I'm using latest Aperture.

    I would just add that your Preferences settings have to be set to show the columns you need. Go to Aperture -> Preferences, and select the Metadata tab. in the "List View Columns" field, for whichever set you have chosen with the radio button, choose the set of data from the pulldown list that shows the fields you want. For example, I have the lens model field set in EXIF-Expanded set. I choose that set and those fields will show in the columns in List View.
    Great tips, thanks!

  • Is it possible to sort search results

    Is there a way to setup the order of the search results
    during the project build process? Currently in my manual when a
    user searches for an item, the results come up in alpha order. If
    possible I would prefer to display them in order of relevance. Any
    ideas?

    I see. It sort of, partly, does what I want. It seems like you can limit the search to one of the "places" that show up on the left side of Finder. So on my Mac I can choose to limit the search to Desktop, mitch, Applications, or Documents in my case (my username is mitch).
    That's an improvement, but can I limit the search to subdirectory mitch/dir1/dir2? That's what I would really like.
    of course. as I told you open mitch/dir1/dir2 in finder and start the search from there. the search will default to searching the whole mac but in the search toolbar you can switch to searching just this directory. and if you want you can save the result as a smart search and put in the the sideebar for quick access if you do this particular search often.
    Or can I sort the search results by where they are in subdirectories?
    no, you can't do that.
    Thanks.
