ITunes album song sequence

Hello! I just downloaded an album to my iPod touch, and the sequence of the songs does not match the sequence on the album...how may I rearrange the iPod's play order?

See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic Tracks out of sequence.

  • ITunes album songs wrong sequence/wrong order

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing a problem with the song sequence in certain albums (I purchased these songs on iTunes by the way).
    When in Album view, in the Sting album "Ten Summoner's Tales (Remastered)" the nr.10 song "Shape Of My Heart" is placed in front of nr.1, "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You".
    When in Songs view, everything seems fine when I select the "Album by Artist/Year" view. I tried to renumber the nr.10 song to a different nr and back. I also tried  changing the album into a compilation of songs by different artists. The disc nr. is the same for every song. I also tried to check and uncheck the shuffle button.
    "The Soul Cages" by Sting shows the songs in a completely random order.
    Every other album seems to be perfectly fine with the song orders. I can't find anything on the net that describes the same problem as I'm having.
    I would greatly appreciate it if someone is able to help me out!

    This might be a special case, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
    I made a "kid safe" version of a comedy album so that I can play it when my kids are around. To do this, I had to edit some of the MP3 files (to remove the questionable material) and then add a new "Edited" version of the album to iTunes. When I did that, the songs on the new version appeared out of order in either Album or Artist (but OK under Songs and on an iPod and iPhone).
    After looking at the differences between the original and altered files, I saw that the editing program did not keep the "Disc 1 of 1" information for the edited tracks. Once I added that back in (via Get Info), everything was sorted by track number again.
    If that isn't your problem, look for any other "Get Info" inconsistencies between the tracks on the album.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

    Greetings!
    After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
    Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
    How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
    I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing.  It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
    I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

    To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.
    You could provide Apple with feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • How do I organize the albums/songs in my iTunes?

    I just decided to put a bunch of songs onto my iTunes so I could then sync those songs with my iPad 3 (and my new iPhone that's coming in the mail tomorrow ). Anyways, the way they organize my songs in iTunes is all messed up. If a song has more than one artist, it treats that song like a completely different album rather than including it all together under one album and under the main artist.
    Is there a way I can edit the song/album details so I can organize my iTunes library in a way that will move the songs under the appropriate album, rather than treating them like a completely separate album? I already tried letting iTunes keep my media folder organized, and that just made it worse. I want to have control over the way the albums/artists/songs are organized.
    So in short, how do I edit the album/artist/song details so I can make sure that the albums sync properly and it doesn't show 1 album as 5 separate albums? I'd also like to know how to make it so I get all the album artwork (other than relying on iTunes to do this) so I can have a nice neat looking music library on my iPad 3.
    Thank you for reading, and thank you for helping me out.

    A couple of tips for keeping albums intact:
    Make sure the ALBUM ARTIST is the same for all tracks? Artist can be different as long as the album artist is set the same
    Make sure the album Name is identical for each track
    Check the song sequence and that each track is marked track # of total number of tracks
    Make sure none of the tracks have "part of compilation" checked, unless it actually IS a compilation, and then all should have it checked (HINT: a greatest hits album is NOT a compilation.
    This should all be done iniTunes on your computer prior to synching.
    On the iPad, in the music app, tap the "more" button at the bottom of the screen and turn "sort by artist" ON.

  • How can I play album songs in correct sequence?

    How can I play album songs in their correct sequence -- without having to create a playlist for each album? I like to play songs from my primary "Music" Library, sorting to albums or songs via it.
    I've imported songs from albums that for some reason do not play in proper sequence: I'll sort the Library by "Album" but, even though the tracks are correctly sequenced in the "Get Info" box (Track Number "x" of "x"), they always play in some other order.
    I have tried all the sorting choices under "Album" but to no avail. Any ideas?
    I know I can rearrange the songs by click-and-drag -- IF I create a playlist and then re-order them. Really??
    I hate to say it (as a decades-long Mac addict) but iTunes is becoming less and less a worthy organizing tool/database and more and more just a sales tool/gimmick.

    My problem might be solved. For anyone similarly troubled, I found this in the iTunes Windows forum from a member named Turingtest2:

    i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs.  Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

    What settings do you have in iTunes? Is it set to sync all music, it is set to sync only checked songs? Is there anything different about the songs that it is not syncing. Is it possible they were they purchased with a different Apple ID?

  • ITunes store songs out of album order

    I have a problem with two albums I've bought throught iTunes - the songs are out of order (as they should be on the album). On one album, one of the songs was part of a celebrity playlist when I bought it, and on the other, one of the songs was a single of the week.
    Now, those two songs won't be put in the right order with the rest of the album - they both appear as the first song of the album. I've tried changing all of the album and song info under "Get Info" - they're named right, they have the right album liste, and have the right track number - but they still appear as the first track of the ablum in my library and on my iPod.
    Other than making a playlist for the album and manually arrangin the tracks, how can I fix this in my library?

    I have ensured that all the details of each song in the album match up completely, i.e. the same year, artist, composer etc.
    So when you checked the "details" with the Get Info window for the song, did you look in the Info tab to verify that the +Track Number+, 1 of 11, 2 of 11, etc... was entered correctly for each song in the album set?

  • Ok i have been trying to download albums, songs, apps, etc. and my itunes keeps asking me for the security question and for the life of me i cant remember the answers. I dont know what the email is that receives the question reset.

    If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours.  You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method.  But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

  • HT1473 CD songs randomly spread over a number of iTunes albums

    Hi
    When adding songs to iTunes from CDs the content of a single CD is spread across multiple albums in iTunes, seemingly in a random order. As a consequence it seems impossible to play the album either sequentially or in its entirety by opening the first of the iTune albums. I suspect I may be missing the obvious in terms of settings but hope that someone will take pity on me and point me the right direction.
    Many thanks
    John

    Give all the tracks the identical album artist or flag them as a compilation in get info.

  • I just download an album into iTunes, all songs play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that only plays 10 seconds and then skips to the next song.  How do I download onto my Mac again?

    I just downloaded an album into iTunes, all songs on album play fine on iPad, iPhone, but on my Mac there is one song that stops 10 seconds into it and then moves to my next song.  Can I download this song again?  How? 

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

    How do I consolidate album songs in my itunes library? The songs are showing up separately under the same album cover.

    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.
    BTW, are you really still using Windows 2000?
