Itunes two versions of the same album?

Hello,
I have two versions, high res audio and CD quality, of the same album of an artist located in two folders "Album Title" and "Album Title HD".
By adding the two folders to the iTunes mediathek, all tracks are merged under "Album Title" in iTunes. Do I have to manipulate the meta data to avoid this behavior in iTunes? Interestingly the views on the Mac and via iOS Remote App are different:
Mac:
Track 1
Track 1 HD
Track 2
Track 2 HD
etc.
Rmote App:
Track 1
Track 2
Track Last
Track 1 HD
Track 2 HD
I disabled the automatic handling option for iTunes import. So still two folders in the iTunes music folder exist.
Any ideas?
Andreas

If you want them to appear as separate albums you will have to change the metadata for one of the albums.  There are many ways to do this and which one you use will depends upon your preferences.
You can make it obvious by doing something such as adding a descriptor to the album name e.g., Album Name [CD quality]
You can "hide".  If you do not normally use the album artist field and you add an album artist to that field for one of the versions it will cause that to sort separately.  Similarly if you add a number to the disc number field that should normally get it to display separately.
Alternatively you can come up with a smart playlist to sort according to kind.

  • I downloaded two versions of the same album by mistake can I get a refund on one?

    I downloaded two versions of the same album, one staight after the other, I've been charged for both, can I get one removed and a refund?

    Then I imported into Aperature, created new versions, one for each snapshot, then cropped each snapshot, so each snapshot is seperate in Aperature.
    You want to find each snapshot separately in Aperture? Perhaps you could explain more, how you want to organize your photos. William pointed out albums to group versions of an image. You could also assign keywords to mark special occasions like birthdays, weddings, etc.  You could assign faces to find photos of persons by name. You can use the search field in the browser to search for photos by face, date, keyword, etc.  Aperture is really great for accessing images in many different ways. There must be a way to access the images in your Aperture library just like you want to.
    Then, I tried to organize the ton of photos into projects and it won't let multiple versions of the same original photo be in separate projects.
    That is, how Aperture works. All versions of an image need to be in the same project, because they are sharing the same imported original image file. Aperture tries to save your disk space, by by not creating image files for the edited versions. Versions are just a set of instructions how to produce the rendered image, when you want to edit it or to export it. Unless you are working with the version, it will live in limbo and it will not exist as an image file. So all versions are kept together in the same project with the original image file that is necessary to render them as an image.

  • I pre-ordered two versions of the same album on ITunes! How to stop?

    So a few minutes ago I accidently preordered 2 versions of the same album on Itunes on my dell laptop! I want to cancel one, but i dont know how! It told me that you pay for it when it is realsed in November so I have not payed yet for either.

    Select all the songs from the album, choose File--> Get Info, then under the Album area, type in the appropriate album title.  They should all appear under one album at that point.

  • When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare th documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark.  However, I know there a quite a few number of changes.  I raised this question more than a year ago

    When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare the documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark.  However, I know there a quite a few number of changes.  I raised this question more than a year ago, and the response I received had to do with the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents.  However, if I use Acrobat Pro XI to save the same documents in Word and then run a comparison in Word all of the changes are marked.  When a PDF is saved as a Word document in Acrobat Pro XI, is a different OCR module being used than the one used in Acrobat Pro XI for text recognition?

    OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
    Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image  or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
    When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
    When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
    If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
    Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
    OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents". 
    Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
    Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
    Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
    being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
    But - well you've described what can be observed.
    Be well...

  • Can I have two versions of the same original live in separate projects?

    I am not an Aperature or photography expert.
    I scanned in a ton of old family photos with multiple snaphots on a page and in a single file. Then I imported into Aperature, created new versions, one for each snapshot, then cropped each snapshot, so each snapshot is seperate in Aperature. (I could have learned Spanish with all the time that this took.)
    Then, I tried to organize the ton of photos into projects and it won't let multiple versions of the same original photo be in separate projects. I found a way to change the filenames through Batch Change, but that didn't fix the problem.
    I would like to organize the ton of files, but from what I can tell my only option would be to go back to the scanned files, make copies from Finder as needed, once for each snapshot, reimport into Aperature and recrop each individual snapshot.
    Oh my, I have kids and a job and a husband and I like to sleep at night. Is there any easier way to organize the photos?
    Thank you for your time.

  • HELP! How to install two versions of the same driver???

  • ITunes separates songs from the same album

    when I import some CDs, iTunes doesn't recognize the songs as being part of the same album. How do I solve this?

    Hi there Luis,
    I would recommend that you review the process for importing CDs in iTunes 11 found in the article below.

  • ITunes splits songs from the same album into several albums, all sort fields appear to match. Any suggestions on how to put them in one album?

    iTunes sometimes splits songs from the same album into several albums, all sort fields appear to match. Any suggestions on how to return them to the proper album?

    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.
    N.B. Giving different things the same sort value (or indeed vice versa) tends to lead to trouble.

  • Two copies of the same album on iPhone (but not in iTunes library) ?

    Something very wierd is going on...
    In my iTunes library there are 2 albums which appear to be duplicated on my iPhone.
    In my iTunes library there is only one copy of the following two albums...
    1. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
    2. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
    Yet on my iPhone these 2 albums are duplicated.
    When viewing on the iPhone in coverflow, the albums appear as...
    1. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
    2. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
    3. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
    4. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
    Even stranger, when viewing in Album view (phone held in potrait mode) one album appears 3 times...
    1. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
    2. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
    3. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
    And the other album appears 2 times...
    1. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
    2. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
    Yet when I look at the music on my iPhone using iTunes (Devices->iPhone->Music), these tracks are not duplicated.
    I cannot work out what the **** is going on.
    Can anyone help ?

    See One cover, too many tracks and One album, too many covers. A tiny spelling discrepancy in the Artist or *Album Artist* field is making one part of the iPod app see two copies of the album, the *Greatest Hits* "bug" then gives each copy of the album all of the tracks rather than just those with the matching value of Artist/Album Artist.

  • Itunes charged me for the uncensored and censored version of the same album

    It said purchasing album I confirmed but when I left the room my laptop was closed. It didn't ending up downloading at all so i re downloaded the album or so I thought. Itunes dose not say if the album is explit or not when u buy it so it turns out it bought the clean version and the explit because I thought I hit the explit album both times. Any one know how I can get my $13  back ? thank you

  • Managing both Lossless and MP3/AAC versions of the same album

    I've recently decided to keep a lossless version of some albums along with their mp3/aac counterparts. I would want to use the lossless version on my Apple TV to which I have a nice audio setup. I would use the mp3/aac version to go to my ipods (touch & nano). I was thinking of just keeping two playlists and selectively syncing to the appropriate device But will there be any collisions since the tags on the lossless and mp3/aac tracks will me the same (same album, same song, etc.) Do I have to modify any of these so they dont conflict? Thanks for your advice in advance!

    Thanks for the info. But it looks kinda messy. And you have to have the ipods manually managed. I'm thinking it would be easier to change the album title to "title MP3" to distinguish it from the lossless copy instead of doing all this encoding work. I was hoping there would be a cleaner way to do it.

  • Can two computers view the same album?

    I have all of my important files, including my photo album, on a network hard drive.  If I have two laptops with Adobe Organizer, can they both be directed to the same photo album on my network hard drive?
    I understand there will be two separate catalogs on each laptop, but does that matter?  Will anything bad happen?
    I just want all the computers in my house to be able to look at the photo album, and would like to use Adobe organizer to do it.
    Thanks.

    Having two separate catalog files will necessitate that some person keep them in synch. Extra work for you. But it should work. Also, neither computer could move or rename the photos or folders, and the shared drive must have the same name on each computer.
    Another approach is to put the catalog file on a shared disk, but there are issues here as well, as explained at http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Storing_the_catalog

  • Multiple versions of the same album

    iTunes lists all songs from certain albums as being on separate albums. I have made sure the album name is the same for every song but iTunes still lists each song as being on its own separate album, and you can't drag and drop one song into a different album. So the album "Cheap Thrills" appears several times, each "album" with a single song on it.

    See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topics One album, too many covers and One album, still too many covers.

  • HT204266 If I have a play list of various artists and on this list I have two tracks from the same album how can I combine those two tracks to play as one if I am using the shuffle feature?

    An example would be Jackson Browne's "The Load Out" &" Stay".They should play one after the other but in a play
    list on shuffle setting they don't. How do I combine two songs so they play as one in a shuffled playlist

    When I import my music files to iTunes will I be creating new files for every file I import? If the answer is YES; where are those files going to be stored and how much space will they use?
    To begin with you can't manage FLAC in iTunes. The use of iTunes is at this moment limited to WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, AAC and MP3. But that's not a problem because if I understand you correctly you want to organize the MP3-files in iTunes.
    When you import music files you can let iTunes copy all files and put it in an iTunes-media-Folder. You can make the choice in preferences-->tab advanced.
    If you deselect the second blue checkbox (sorry, in Dutch) iTunes won't copy files as you import the files in your library. It will use the files from the place they are on the disk now. So you have a choice. But if you want iTunes to copy them, they will be placed in a folder called iTunesMedia. This is how it placed on your disk.
    All files will be put in one music folder well ordered by artist and albums. If you want to make a backup of all your music you just have to copy the iTunes folder to another disk. You can backup all music at once. How much space they will use depends on the bitrate of the MP3 and whether you add more tagging to it. You can have iTunes add album artwork. That means adding gif or jpg files to your library. Are you using bitrate 320 for your MP3?
    If you tell me I can give you estimates on the disk-space you will need.
