Jumbled song order for album

Hello,
I bought the album "Life in Cartoon Motion" by Mika a while back on iTunes UK. I first bought a couple of singles and then bought the other tracks later on (pre complete my album). Even though I've changed the info fields to match so it should display all the tracks as being on the same album, with all the fields for year, disc number, track order etc etc agreeing.... it still displays the tracks in the wrong order in the library.
Anyone had a similar experience and know of a fix?
Many thanks,
Adam

Was the order on the jewel case printout correct? I can change the order in itunes, but when I select Album Listing and print it out, the order is backwards and the album covers are shown in reverse order.

Song order on albums

My iPod always displays the wrong order of songs for particular albums. I tried connecting it to the computer and changing the song order via iTunes but it was correct on iTunes. Went back to iPod and it is still the wrong song order on those albums. Any solutions?

I got it - some songs had "Album Artist" set, some not. Those without were at the end of the list, regardless of the track number set. iTunes disregards "Album Artist" and shows songs in correct order. I simply removed album artist in all tracks and the order became correct. Setting album artist to the same for all tracks would also work.
As for artist order, it also became correct ("The Beatles" under "B") after I reinstalled iTunes with English (by default, the first installation was German - stay away from it).

The song order on albums I've bought from amazon are reversed/

It seems every album I buy & down load from Amazon has the song order reversed. I can't figure out how to reverse the the tracks so they play in the correct order.

I copied my library over to a hard drive and then completely deleted my library in iTunes by selecting all the songs and deleting, obviously not checking the box to delete from iCloud. This seems to have worked.
Yeah, I've noticed that some ripped songs have been replaced by purchased iTunes songs, I'm guessing that they just fall into the correct peramiters for the match. Not sure what to do about that.
In short deleting and downloading my library again from iCloud sorted most of the miss matches. The problem with associating with ripped files still remains though.
I'm not sure of the criteria for the match but I'm guessing it's going to be pretty involved or one could simply get a track of x length and so on and end up getting music for free via match.

How do I fix song order on album?

I have the latest update on iTunes, 12.1.0.71 64-bit. I am on a PC, running Windows 7 Enterprise.
I was listening to songs on iTunes yesterday on my computer when suddenly the songs on one album went out of order. I have played multiple albums previously with no problems. The order changed right before my eyes. I have tried the following:
1. open and close iTunes
2. open Get Info and ensure the name of the band, album, disc #, and track order are correct, both by comparison and by changing the name and then changing it back to the correct information
When I look at it in Albums or Artists, it gives the songs in order of 2, 1, 3....the remainder of the songs appear to be in order. However, when I look at it under Songs, it shows one song (#2, the one out of place) to listed separately from the rest of the album. It seems iTunes recognizes the name of the album differently. For song #2, it recognizes the album starts with "A" and for the rest of the album, it skips the "A" and goes to "P" (the next word in the album name). I've tried changing the name and changing it back, but it still lists it out of order.
What am I doing wrong?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums, in particular see Tried that, there are STILL too many covers! and also check for consistent use of disc numbers.

Looking for a way to change sort order for albums

I know how to set the sort order for each individual song (Sort tab on song info), but is there a way to set sort order for multiple tracks?

Please help!

Song order in albums messed up

For some albums that I've bought after buying a song from it on iTunes (I see if I like the song, then if I like it I buy the whole album), the track order gets all messed up. The whole album is an actual CD that I bought at a store, not from the iTunes store, and for whatever reason, even after going to "Get Info" and adjusting the track number, the song does not move into place. For example, I bought X & Y by Coldplay at Best Buy the day it came out, and in it said that I could get an extra track through Napster for free, so I got the song and eventually put it in my iTunes library. I wanted to adjust it in "Get Info" to put the extra song at the end of the album, but it still remains at the beginning of the album. I hope this is clear enough to understand. Does anyone know how to fix the problem?

best way to fix this is to highlight all 14 tracks (13 tracks on my coldplay CD so i am assuming you have 14) and right click for the "get info" section. it might give you a prompt about changing info for multiple selections, but you do want to continue. under "get info", make sure that the artist and album are exactly the same and have a checkmark in the box to the left of artist & album. the other key is to make sure that there is a checkmark in the box for "track number x of "X". for that second box put in 14 and keep it checkmarked. this way, all the tracks will show 1 of 14, 2 of 14, etc.
next step is to only right click and choose "get info" for the lone track 14. make sure that this track has the correct album,artist,name info correct and be sure that it is labeled as track "14 of 14". at this point, iTunes should recognize all tracks as a part of 1 single album.
hope this helps, but if you have questions, just reply!

Song order on albums isn't right

The songs in albums aren't in the correct order on my ipod. They're numbered correctly in itunes, but aren't right on the ipod. Is there a fix for this? It's especially annoying in the Pink Floyd albums.
Message was edited by: smith5879

Ok for example, The Wall by Pink Floyd. On itunes the order of the first 3 songs is: In the Flesh, The Thin Ice, Another Brick In the Wall Part 1. That is the correct order. On the ipod the order is: The Thin Ice, Another Brick in the Wall Part 1, The Happiest Days of Our Lives. In the Flesh is somewhere is the middle of the album on the ipod. How do I fix it on the ipod? Some other albums are not in order either on the ipod either.

Setting Song Order for Cd's you've burned into Itunes!

Hi - Can you help me on this one- I keep burning cds onto itunes and itunes then jumbles up the song sequence of the cds into alphabetical order ie they're not in the order they appear to be on the cd. Can someone tell me how to reset the song sequence order? Thanking you!!!!

If you control click (right click) a song, choose get info, and click on the info tab, you will have the option to set track order.

Scrambled Song Order in an album

hey, i keep having a re-occuring problem in which my itunes, (i guess), it scrambles the song order in albums occasionally. for instance, rather than coldplay's rush of blood to head starting with Politik it begins with the scientist or something....but then other albums are completely untouched. any help would be appreciated.

Check the ID3 info to see if the track number settings are correct (1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc.) If the info is missing the tracks will often play in alphabetical order. Putting in the correct track info should fix your problem.

3rd party application for album artwork?

Are there any GREAT 3rd party applications for automatically bringing in album art to iTunes? I've got a bunch of old music that the automatic function within iTunes is not getting anything for. I even tried to clean up some of the info (i.e. make sure it had artist, song name, etc in proper fields), but nothing.
If that or another app would correct song data also (probably asking a bit much) that would be awesome. I see where some of my very old stuff from back in the MP3 days will have Artist Name-Song Name as the title.
Any help is appreciated. I dont have a week to do this manually!

MP3Freaker would be your best bet. I've used others but MP3Freaker works flawlessly, and allows you to do three songs for free to show how it works, and how well. It's $23 but it saved me hours of painstaking work going through my 5500 songs
As for album art: http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/ipod-itunes/artwork

Can't purchase a song from an Album that I cancelled the pre-order for?

Ok, so here's the deal, I bought a £15 voucher and made some purchases, the first of which was the pre-order of an Album that was released today (Sunday 24th). I didn't know however, that the cost of the purchase was deducted from your balance once you actually downloaded the album, and I've spent my credit to the point where I'm pennies of being able to pay for the pre-order of the Album. I decided however, to hit cancel pre-order and simply just download the songs that I could afford, then download the wrest at a later date. However, the album that I've cancelled my pre-order for, still displays as 'Purchased'? I was able to download one song for pre-ordering the album, but that was a deduction of 99p, the price of a single song. I'm curious why I cant't purchase the wrest of the album individually, am I tied to the pre-order because I downloaded a song that was advertised as 'Early Access', or do I now have to pay the full cost of the Album because I've surpassed the deadline to cancel the pre-order (if there is such a thing).
Some one please help me
P.S. I've only been using iTunes for less than a week, so I'm pretty much a noob.

Delete the problem track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
