Joining Tracks Together

How on earth do you join tracks together on your ipod mini?
All help would be greatly appreciated

I think he means me.
Use the join cd tracks option in the advanced menu of iTunes. Do this on importing the cd as it cannot be done afterward.
Make sure the tracks are in their correct order, and highlight those you wish to join.
No gaps, but the downside is that you will of course lose the ability to navigate between tracks, and the song info is also lost. The iPod will display the cd title in the song field in the now playing screen . Youll also have one large file instead of a number of smaller ones.
If you would like to see gapless playback implemented to the iPod, add your voice to the many here.

Joining more than just 2 tracks together

Is it possible to connect more than just 2 tracks together from a cd? I would like to have a song that is continuous and i wanted it to be longer than just 2 track lengths...so i was just wondering before i wasted a cd and finding out it doesnt work!
Thanks alot for all of your help!!!!

Yes, just select all the songs you want to join and go Advanced>join cd tracks. They must be listed right next to each other though.

I have a 1.5 hour video of a concert from which I need to extract several 'tracks' as individual files, and then join them together in a new video. How do I do this using imovie?

Adobe has made this process much simpler in recent years.
No need to re-install any version earlier than the current version (CS6). All installers (upgrade or full) contain the full program code. The difference between full and upgrade is in the serial number.
All you need do is download (link below) and install CS6, enter the CS6 upgrade serial number then enter the CS5 serial number (even if that too is an upgrade).

How do you join tracks (clips) together in imovie?

Export selected clips in the timeline as Full Quality DV, then import it back.
You can use this shortcut for the import:

How to keep tracks together in shuffle mode?

When playing in shuffle mode you can't hear tracks in line together while they should be, e.g. in conceptalbums.
Is there a way to overcome this?
(You can do it with complete albums when downloading in the Library, but what can you do when the tracks are already in the Library?)

The second tab is calles 'Info' as well. Down under you have the possibilty to mark Part of a collection (Deel van verzameling). It should do the trick but it doesn't. I once tried, but I haven't found out what it does.
In English, that is named as "Part of a compilation" and Google Translates that as "Deel van een compilatie". As far as iTunes is concerned, this means that the album has songs by different artists, albums such as the "Now X" series. It is how iTunes keeps a Various Artists album together.

I want to shuffle works, not tracks..
Ah! I see what you want now!
Two possibilities that I can think of (number 2 is the better one):
Create a Playlist for each "work", by simply adding all the songs from one work to one Playlist and all songs from the next work to another Playlist and so on. Then, if you want to play one complete work, followed by another complete work, you could simply create a further Playlist and add each "work Playlist" you want to this new Playlist. To make the works random, all you could do is choose for yourself as you are adding them. You would need to play this new Playlist in order, not shuffle.
If you originally imported this music from a CD, you could import from the CD again. But this time, combine the tracks that make up one work, as one track. iTunes names this as "Join CD Tracks" (or CD-tracks samenvoegen in the Dutch iTunes).
In the screenshot above, I have selected tracks one, two and three and then used the options menu to find Join CD Tracks. This third option will not be visible until you select two or more adjacent tracks, as shown above.
In the screenshot below, I have joined tracks one, two and three as one "work". Then joined tracks four, five and six as a separate work. Finally, I've joined tracks seven through twelve as a third work.
Notice in the screenshot that the Options menu says "Unjoin CD Tracks". That is because the highlighted ones (7-12) are currently joined.
And here it is in Dutch:
With this second method, a work (of several tracks) will always be played as one track (or song). You can then simply add all the individual works to one Playlist, and play the Playlist in Shuffle Songs mode. That way, each work would be played in full, followed, at random, by another work.)
And if you really need to - import the CD this second time with a slightly different album name, so that you then have two copies. One, where each song (or track) is the individual song on the album and the second where each "song" is a work.
Now, lets hope I can get my iTunes back into "English" English, as my Dutch is not too good, even though I'm just the other side of the North Sea from you!

Is there a way to join tracks/songs that are already in your library?

Like the subject line reads....any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Join Together automates the process of joining the files of selectediTunes tracks together with QuickTime and exporting them as a single AAC Music or Audiobook file/track.

Be sure to download the correct version for your Mac OS: v6.0.3 for Snow Leopard from this page and v5.4 for Tiger/Leopard.

Can't "Join Tracks" Again

My computer has OS 10.8.5 and i Tunes 11.1.5 (5).
I downloaded 4 audio books this last month and joined tracks on all. Today the join tracks feature is GONE. I have to download a book with 17 discs and at least 10 tracks per disc, 170 tracks give or take a few so that ˆcan convert to MP3 to shrink the volume. This afternoon I downloaded the iTunes 11.1.5 (5) to try to fix the issue, no luck. I'm wondering if there is a limited number of times this feature can be used and then it goes away. The last time this happened join tracks was gone for at least 2 years. It gets frusturating when it doesn't work. Think Genius Bar could help?

Join CD tracks
When you import songs from a CD into iTunes, you can group songs so they always play together (even when you’re shuffling songs).
Insert an audio CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive, and click No in the window that appears.
When the songs on the CD appear in the iTunes window, hold down the Shift key to select the ones you want to join.
Click near the top-right of the iTunes window, and choose Join CD Tracks.
ps: I tried this and when the cd was inserted there wasn't a new window that opened, but in the top right corner of iTunes there was an option to join tracks.
Hope this helps.

How to join tracks when iTunes can't see the CD

I have a convoluted issue.
From this post <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4567334&#4567334> I understand that in order for iTunes to see my CD it needs to be in Standard format. (In my case the files are MP3s and a Windows Executable.... On my windows machine it auto-launched MusicMatch.)
Most of the time, the work-around of selecting the files in the Finder and dragging them to iTunes would be fine.
Unfortunately, the 43 tracks on the CD in question are an audiobook which I'd like to join together as ONE track. From other posts I've read, I understand the only time one can join tracks is when importing from the CD in iTunes.
Since iTunes can't see the CD, is there any other way to join the tracks?
I have several CDs worth of audiobooks and would hate to have 17 gazillion tracks floating around my iTunes and iPod....
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I've found a work-around. It's not exactly a zippy process, but in the end I did end up with a conjoined bookmarkable AAC file rather than 43 separate MP3s.
At <http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/itunes/importing-mp3-cds/> I learned more about the settings needed for importing my tracks to iTunes. Unfortunately, using the .m3u file didn't work for me but it may for others. (I suspect it was because the CD was created with MusicMatch in mind, rather than iTunes.)
The FAQ at aldoblog.com gave me my next ray of hope.
<http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/itunes/frequently-asked-questions/#q5>
Here I found a link to Doug Adam's "Join Together" which can stitch together tracks after they've been imported into iTunes.

I hope this helps someone else trying to do this...

Trouble with joining tracks

I want to merge my tracks together (by highlighting songs, clicking advanced and then join tracks); problem is, I can't do it. The option to join is shaded out and I can't figure out what the problem is. Any help out there?

Join tracks option is only available when ripping from CD. To join tracks later you will need to another another program.

Keeping tracks together when shuffling

I want to keep certain tracks together when listening in shuffle mode (for example The Four Seasons). I thought this was what the groupings was for, but it doesn't seem to have that effect. Is there any way of doing this?

You would need to physically link the songs together to prevent them being separated during shuffle. You could rip the tracks over again from the original CD using "Join CD Tracks" from the Advanced menu when you are importing: Adding Content to iTunes
You can also have a look at Doug's iTunes scripts for this script which will join tracks after they've been imported Note: This script allows you to join any two (or more) MP3 tracks (it doesn't join other formats), provided that they are the same format and bit rate: Track Splicer
Doug also has this shareware program you might find useful (this will join AAC tracks as long as they are not ITunes Store copy protected versions): Join Together

How to record multiple tracks together?

Ok, completely new to garage band, but I don't see why this is so difficult to figure out. I get how to record a track, and then play it as a loop. But how do I then record something new WITH that loop, so that the two tracks play together (and not just record over it, deleting the first track). For example, how can I record a rhythm part on the guitar, stop it, hit the loop button, and then record a solo over it? Everytime I try this it either records over the first recording (deleting it), or even though it looks like its recording when I stop and hit play I am still only hearing the first track. Very frustrating...
Thanks!!!!

You create a second track for the solo and record to the second track, then play both tracks together.
Use the "Record enable" button in the track header to enable only the solo guitar track for recording, once your rhythm loop has been recorded.

How to find the join tracks option in itunes 11.1

how to join tracks in itunes 11.1

Open iTunes Prefs > Store and select the option for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases."
For some reason this option seems to get unselected.

Where has the Join Tracks command moved to in iTunes 11?

I have installed the latest version of iTunes and began rippng an audiobook. It took me a few minutes to navigate the new interface to figure out how to Join CD Tracks, but the first 10 CDs worked fine, then the last CD had no visible "Join CD Tracks" item on the Options pull dowm. I selected all the items but no 'Join' appears. In searching the online resources it appears iTunes does not think these are joinable, but they are certainly next to one another on the CD I am ripping. Any idea or hellp would be appreciated.
Thanks

Are thre tracks listed in the correct order? If you select a different sort order to the track number (i.e. songs title alphabetical order, by clicking on the top of the name column), then you cannot join tracks.
In the screenshot below (that I took for another post, earlier today);
notice the arrow at the top of the number column. That tells me that the tracks are in track order. If the arrow is pointing the other way, or it's at the top of one of the other columns, you cannot use Join Tracks. In that case, simply click on the top of the number column until the arrow is pointing upwards.

Unable to join tracks using itunes 11.1.5.5

Used to be able to select cd tracks and join them using the "option" drop-down. Now that drop-down only shows "get track names" & "submit CD track names". Any solutions known? Started about a week ago.

Huh? Are you sure?
You cannot highlight a column - if you click on a column, it sorts by that column. Also, the column to the left of the name is a tick-box column, which cannot be sorted or highlighted.
However, the column to the left of that, the one with the numbers in it, as shown in my screenshots, is the track number. If you have clicked on it, you will have reversed the track order and Join CD Tracks will not be available. Look:
But if the number column is clicked again, putting the songs into the correct order, then the Join CD Tracks is there - as explained in my previous post:
Note the direction of the arrow in the number column in each shot.

Happens all the time and you are probably correct about cause.
Some CD manufacturers use various forms of copy protection on discs designed to interfere with computers reading the discs. I have found iTunes to be very picky about this too. I have had several discs iTunes would not acknowledge but could rip with another program. Other times the fix is as simple as cleaning the disc ro turning on error correction for the ripping process.
