ITunes doubles every song on an album when I import it

every time I import an album from my computer, iTunes doubles everything. So if there is really 12 songs on an album there will be 24 with every song on there twice. What the **** is going on?

I have the exact same problem... Please someone solv this! Or get going on getting us iTunes for linux... How hard can it be?

  • Every song without an album shows up as its own "Unknown Album"!

    In the album browser in iTunes 8, every song whose 'Album' field is blank shows up as its own 'Unknown Album'. I have twenty Genesis songs with no album set on them, so I have twenty default music-note album covers that show up with "Unknown Album - Genesis" on them.
    How do I tell iTunes to please group these together, so that all of the songs from a particular artist that don't have an album will show up in a single "Unknown Album"?

    I have the opposite problem. I want every one of the "unknown album" tracks to show up as its own icon, at least for the purpose of sorting Album By Year. It used to be that when I sorted ABY, each "Unknown Album" track got sorted by its own year.
    Now the tracks from before I switched to iTunes 8 still behave like that. New "Unknown Album" tracks, though, all get lumped together and sorted with the earliest date. Further, it uses the earliest cover art, even if each of the tracks has its own art.
    Example: Singles by Bloodhound Gang
    -- Yellow Fever (1995) no cover art
    -- Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo - The Jason Nevins mix (2005) cover art from the single
    -- Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss - The Scooter remix (2005) cover art from the single
    What I want is: Yellow Fever shows up next to album "Use Your Fingers" (1995), others show up next to album "Hefty Fine" (2005), each with their own cover art.
    What I get is: All three tracks in a single "Unknown Album" sorted at 1995 with cover art from Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo single.
    I get my desired sorting for every other artist whose "Unknown Album" tracks I had in my library before the conversion, and I get this broken behavior on these tracks I've added since the conversion. No amount of removing from my library and re-importing seems to make iTunes realize that +I don't want them sorted together+.

  • ITunes "Updates" every song synced to the iPod every time it is connected

    Since the update of iTunes to 9.1.1, every time I connect my 3G iPod Touch (32GB) to my Macbook iTunes "Updates" every song synced to the iPod. I have seen this before when iTunes has a new revision, but it usually only happens the first time the iPod is attached after iTunes is updated. Now, it is happening every time.
    I have restored the iPod to its virgin state, but that did not change anything. Any ideas?

  • Bought an album off iTunes and two songs from the album will not download. Is there anyway to make them force load or anything along those lines?

    Bought an album off iTunes and two songs from the album will not download. Is there anyway to make them force load or anything along those lines? The Album is Sunshower-EP by UME and the songs are The Conductor and The Means.

    Hey ChandlerAdaway!
    I have an article here that can provide you some guidance for this issue. First, you will want to check for the songs in your past purchases list for your account, if you haven't already:
    Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If the songs cannot be found there, you will want to report an issue with your download by following the directions in this article:

  • ITunes cuts off every song at 2:54 when trying to burn a CD

    I'm using iTunes 10.5.3.3 and Windows 7 (64-bit). When I try to burn a playlist to a CD, it cuts every song off at 2:54 minutes. I have tried three different albums now and it does it every time.
    Any assistance would be appreciated. I already updated to the latest firmware for the DVD drive.
    Also the albums were purchased from the iTunes store, so I cannot try a different program to rip them.

    Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
    Error while opening iTunes CD driver. This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
    With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

  • Itunes copies every song double in Finder!

    Finder has double the size of GB of what Itunes states. Every song is being copied (sometimes 4 times!!) and sometimes stored in a different place . Since I have thousands of songs it is virtually impossible to look for every song and delete it. Is there an easy way and how do I prevent it making copies?!!
    HELP!!!

    I have already tried that. When I first downloaded iTunes to my new computer, it asked if I wanted to import all my music. I said "yes" and it went through about 5 hours of converting music, and when it was done, my iTunes library listed all my songs atleast twice.
    So I deleted the iTunes music folder (so when I opened up iTunes, it didn't list ANY songs in my library). I made sure the box that gave me the option to copy songs into iTunes library, was NOT checked. I then went to My Music, selected the files, and dragged them to the iTunes music folder. Once again it went through hours of a conversion process and then listed each song at least twice in the iTunes library.
    Is my mistake that I am copying my songs to the iTunes library? If I'm not supposed to do that, how do I get music into the iTunes library? This is the 3rd or 4th new computer I've installed iTunes on in the last 4-5 years and I've never had a problem like this before.... it's getting frustrating!

  • TS1424 Needing info on an album I just purchased. Every song on the album seemed to download except the last. Then when I went back to play them  it seemed to only download  2 minutes of each tune

    Needing info on an album I purchased. Thought every song had downloaded . But the last song didn't download and then on the playback every song only had  2 minutes of play on it .It's like they are only partially downloaded. Thanks for any comments!

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • My music is on a nas loaded by Windows Media Player in WAV. When I import into Itunes only the songs appear no album name etc.

    My music is on a nas. Loaded using windows media player in WAV.
    When I import into Itunes only the record apears, no Album name etc
    How can can I see all the details

    Information is often stored as tags embedded in the file.  WAV does not support tagging. I don't know how WMP works but iTunes keeps its own database about media.  For many audio formats, track information will be stored both in iTunes' database and in the file itself as tags.  With formats such as mp3 most tags (not all) will 'travel' with the file when copied.  This does not happen with WAV where the information is only stored in the player application's database.

  • HT1473 downloaded an album from itunes and every song is out of sink with its title, HELP

    downloaded album from itunes and the songs dont match the title,help!!

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
    The above should sort you out but the forum you wanted was iTunes > iTunes for Mac which won't have been on offer since your were reading a Windows support doc. I'll ask the hosts to move this one just in case you have follow up questions that can be answered best in there.

  • My itunes skips every song

    Howdy All
    Desperate for help
    I have Windows 7 64 Bit - fully patched.  I also have latest version of Itunes.
    For the last 3-4 months, my itunes has not played music.  But sometimes it does (intermittent).
    If I double click a song, it instantly skips to the next, then the next then the next and so on and so forth until it has gone over all 8000 songs in my collection.
    When Itunes does work, it plays every song without issue.
    I have tried everything to fix it.  I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled at least a dozen times, I have done clean installs, removing all insatnces of the program.  As a BSc (COMSCI) and IS Major, I know enough to know that there is something wrong.
    Does anybody have ANY idea what is going on with my Itunes
    I am desperate for a fix
    Please help
    Cheers

    Did you try looking for conflicts with MSConfig?
    I assume your tracks play OK in another player such as Window Media Player?
    On malware that was a good idea, did you also try the free scanner from Malwarebytes, that is very good.
    Did you remove all the Apple/iTunes entries in the registry.
    Did you you remove all the iTunes related programs listed in the iTunes uninstall instructions, including deleting any remaining folders.
    In addition, there are there is a configuration file in a hidden folder:
    Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
    The configuration file can cause problems for all users although I haven't heard of it causing skipping. It might be worth deleting it, but deauthorise you PC first as it holds authorisation data. The configuration file will be recreated when iTunes starts.
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    If absolutely everything apple related is removed and the problem persists after a reinstall, it does suggest a software conflict or a problem with Windows.
    Problems with Segoe fonts have caused issues but related to display problems rather than skipping tracks.
    If you ever find a solution, it would be great to hear what it was, this is very puzzling.

  • Why does iTunes drop many songs from an album and will not add them back?

    iTunes regularly droping songs/tracks out of albums I've previously added to my library.  The files are present in the album folder, but if I delete the album from the library and add it back, it still will not include the previously dropped files.  Sometimes I can add them individually using "Add Files" instead of "Add Folder".  This is a real pain in the backside, since when I play any album in my library, I can't be certain that all the songs/tracks will be played.

    Are you burning as mp3 CD or Audio CD?.
    If mp3 CD - then iTunes may remove the .aac audio files. (Just a thought)

  • I am able to download every song on an album except one, which refuses to download because of error "-100000". How do I resolve this?

    I have purchased an album off of iTunes and I am able to successfully download every song except for one, which always fails with err -100000. It is not a temporary issue -- I have already waited 12 hours past the time of purchase.
    Running iTunes 10.6.3.25 on Windows 7 64-bit.

  • How do i keep songs in their albums when they have multiple artists

    I've just bought myself a Classic, but I find that when I'm importing songs from a CD, that songs with multiple artists don't get put in the album, they get put in my library as a separate song. Is there any way to import all the song from a CD onto the album when it hits itunes library.

    See my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • ITunes merges unrelated songs into one album?

    Hey all, I've tried repeatedly to fix this problem and haven't had any luck. I recently added an album to iTunes (11.4) and the following things happened:
    1) Under "albums" view, each song from the album had its own separate entry in albums (same album art and title, several entries with one song each).
    2) After I repeatedly consolidated them into one album, they finally stayed together...
    3) ...but suddenly 100+ other songs joined them in that album.
    Now over a hundred of my songs are considered part of the same album--everything from Johnny Cash to Yoko Kanno is considered part of "Awesome Mix Vol. 1". I have no idea why these songs in particular were chosen, but whatever is happening overwrites their album information as well as their album art while leaving everything else intact. It's not even consistent regarding which albums it messes with--SOME of Abbey Road is now part of Awesome Mix while some is not.
    I've changed the tags back a dozen times. I've even used a program like TuneUp to do so automatically. Every time I do so it eventually changes back--I think the Awesome Mix category is saved into iCloud or something. Has anyone encountered this before and can they suggest any fixes? I am going nuts. These are awesome songs, but they don't belong in Awesome Mix.

    In iTunes an "album" is any collection of tracks with the same Album title and the same Album Artist, or Artist if Album Artist is blank, or for which Part of a compilation is true. This can be further complicated by inappropriate values in the various sort fields. See Grouping tracks into albums for more.
