Linking Songs in I-tunes

Is there a way to link songs in I-tunes so that one song will always play after the other regardless of shuffle settings? Or, is there an ability to simply combine two songs. My specific problem is that I have two songs (Parabol and Parabola by Tool), the first of which is an intro for the other. I would like to create a playlist with these songs and be able to listen on random, but always have these two songs play together.
Thanks,
Ryan

OK, I figured out how to do it:
I haven't found a fancy GUI or anything for it. You'll have to use the command prompt!
1. Download FAAD2 and extract the exe to a folder.
2. Download mp4creator and extract the exe to the same folder as above.
3. Copy your original AAC files to the same folder
4. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder.
5. Type this command to extract the raw AAC from "input1.m4a" :<pre>faad -a input1-raw.m4a input1.m4a</pre>
6. Repeat step 5 for the other track: <pre>faad -a input2-raw.m4a input2.m4a</pre>
7. Join the two files together with "copy":<pre>copy /b input1-raw.m4a input2-raw.m4a input-joined.m4a</pre>
8. Now make a file playable in iTunes:<pre>mp4creator60.exe -create=input-joined.m4a output-joined.m4a</pre>
Now you can import "output-joined.m4a" into iTunes. NOTE: the joined file will not have any tags; you will have to add them in iTunes or another tagging program.

I downloaded a song from i-tunes. It plays on my computer, but won't play on my i-phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or how can I re-download the song without getting charged a second time. I could not find an option to "report a problem".

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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Linking songs

I have song files in my library that are separated, but which in fact should be linked with other song files, such as Queen's We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. Are there ways to link such tracks or append the file to another?

I'd like to be able to do this, too. I have a lot of live albums in which the artist's introductory remarks are a separate track from the song being introduced. It's pretty frustrating to hear the intro and not get the song. ;-0
I can imagine this working like this: select the tunes to be linked, then right click for a context menu and select a new "link songs" option.
From then on the two tracks are treated as one for the purposes of shuffle play.

When attempting to purchase a song from i-tunes that was on an old ipod that I had to replace, the song is marked as 'purchased' and grayed out. Is there a way that I can download these previously purchased items onto my new ipod?

Lori,
If you upgrade to iTunes 10.3, you can redownload your past purchases from the iCloud. Just go to the home page of the iTunes Store and click on "Purchased" under "Quick Links." It will bring up a list of your past purchases that are not currently in your library, with a little arrow icon that lets you download.

You can't use the whole song as a ringtone, you would have to create it either by using itunes or an app.

There are a lot of ringtone maker in the app store, do a search. Just make sure you read the reviews before you download it.

I just loaded 4,000 songs into I-tunes on a new laptop. All of the songs are checked. Is there a keyboard shortcut to unchek all songs at once in the library?

Yes, CTRL-click on one of them, but why? Unchecked songs will usually be excluded from any device you sync with and will also be skipped during normal playback. If you're using the first effect to control what goes on your device, and "living with" the second then why not switch to using playlist selections for the device. Otherwise one inadvertent CTRL-click on a checkbox will undo all your selections.

Purchased and downloaded song in i-tunes , it skips and gets stuck in spots . Am I stuck with it ?

I couldn't find anyway to get in touch with anyone at I-Tunes for an answer . Not very good customer service on Apples part . Is there any way to get a replacement song from I-Tunes or do I have to just take my chances and purchase it over again and hope for the best .

The iTunes application saves your iTunes Store purchases--as well as any music, audiobooks, or videos you import--to your computer's hard disk, not the iTunes application itself.
The error message you note indicates that the purchase in question can’t be located where it is stored in your iTunes Music folder in order to play it, and may have been moved or deleted.
You will need to help iTunes locate the file. Follow the steps in this article:

Do all your songs have a check mark?

Linking songs in itunes to be played one after another, even in shuffle

Hey guys I've been looking around for an answer to this question and still no luck. I dont think its possible but Ill ask anyway. Im trying to link songs togther so that they will always be played one after the other even during shuffle mode. For example, some songs are always meant to played one after the other, such as "We Will Rock You>We Are the Champions" by Queen, or "Golden Slumbers>Carry That Weight>The End" by The Beatles. Anyone know if this is possible somehow? I can make them play gaplessly but that only does anything if shuffle is off.

The answer is to *Join CD Tracks* before you import them into your library.
When you insert a CD into your disc drive and it shows up in iTunes (for importing) highlight the tracks (which need to be adjacent of course) and select *Advanced/Join CD Tracks.* You can join all three Beatles tracks. Once they are joined, then you can import them into the library. So you will have to import these tracks again (and remove the originals, if you wish).
Note that you cannot join them after importation.

Replacement or linked song on Spotify's catalog is wrong

Today I wanted to listen to a song in spotify's catalog (not a local file) and the song played was a live version. This was wrong because the song that should have been played (and the one I wanted to listen to) was the studio version that was released with the album.
It strikes me as odd because I remember hearing the studio version on spotify. Also, all the other songs in the same album are not linked/replaced. So it was probably replaced after the live version was added to the catalog.
I don't really know what criteria you use in order to replace/link songs but one of them should be: if the song's name metadata has no "live" in it, then it shouldn't be replaced/linked with one that has it and viceversa.

Per,
If they are having the same problem that I am, the issues is not a wrong track on spotify but spotify linking a local file that is a different version (usually a live version) of the song and playing the local file and not the spotify/album version. Example: Today I was listening the The Features new album The Features. I have a live version of two of the songs, when listening to the album straight from the Features page, it played both live version of the songs I have locally instead of the studio version of the songs from the album. So while your adivce is helpful, I do not think it applies to the situation described above and that I am having.
Hey :)
On those tracks that are being played incorrectly, right click on the track name and select "Unlink Track". That will break the link between your local file and that track and then stream it from Spotify ;)

When i download songs from i tunes to i pod some songs dont play or they skip songs or they make 2 copies of songs what to do

when i download songs from i tunes library to i pod some songs dont play or they skip songs or they make 2 copies of songs what to do

*Skipping songs*
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.
