Linking songs together

i was wondering if there was a way to link songs together so when playing music in shuffle mode i can set certain songs to play together before moving on to another random song. basically how can i make 2 or 3 songs play as if they were 1 song. for example, Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall Pt1" "The Happiest Days of our Lives" & "Another Brick in the Wall Pt2" is sort of a trilogy of songs that should be played in their respective order one after the other. However when playing in shuffle mode, it will randomly select songs and never plays them in order or one after the other. How can i make it so iTunes thinks the three songs are actually just one, and therefore always plays them together and in order. I have other songs that i'd like to do this with as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, GL

With iTunes you can only do this while ripping from a CD. (See the option in the "Advanced" menu.) For existing files you'd have to use some other application.

Link 2 songs together?

Does anyone know if it is possible to link 2 songs together so they play as one song? ie Zepplin's Heartbreaker/livin lovin maid

You could use "Join CD Tracks" from the Advanced menu when you are importing: Adding Songs from CDs to your Library

Is it possible to link songs in itunes?

I'd like to be able to link certain songs together, as often heard on the radio for tunes like Train, Train, by Blackfoot; or Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are the Champions.

Perhaps creating a static playlist would take care of that.

Linking songs in shuffle mode

I am very new to the i-tunes/i-pod environment. I hope my question has a very simples answer:
1) Is there a way to link two or more individual songs together (in I-tunes) so that they will always play in sequence on a shuffle?
2) Does the trick work on the i-pod as well (I have a 5th generation, 40MB ipod)?
THANKS!!!
Rogerio

The only way you could do that would be if you joined the tracks as you were ripping them from a CD so that they would be one track. Given that you already have the tracks, no.

Linking songs in shuffle

Is there a way to link two or more individual songs together so that they will always play in sequence on a shuffle?

I dunno, I was wanting the opposite.
For instance, I will have one artist that kind of does slow songs. When I am working out, that artist will come up and I get another slow one from that same artist. Well, I'm working out, I want something faster.
So I hit the next button and sometimes another song from that same slow artist starts. But not all the time.
Anyway I don't want the same artist to come up twice, sometimes it does that in its shuffle algorithm.
And I definitely know I have the switch on the back set to shuffle.

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.

Thank you for doing this. I fixed everything that was noted and ran the code through the validator again. It came out clean but the problem still exists.
Ok, this is a weird one I'd say, it happens.
The issue is in this stylesheet:
../../bp-styles.css
Can you do a test for me. Grab everything in that stylesheet and paste it between <style> </style> brackets directly in your pages code before the closing </head> tag:
<style>
PASTE ALL CSS FROM bp-styles.css HERE
</style>
</head>
Then comment out the orginal linked bp-styles.css style sheet to stop it working by adding  (see below)

What happens when you view the page then?
I think you may just have a corrupt file somehow.

How to merge 2 songs together

how can I merge 2 songs together? so they are only one?
Michel

Open QuickTime Player 7. Select both songs in finder and double click on them (works with mp3).
I am not sure if this is only a feature of Quicktime Pro.
There is a script on the Dougscripts web site for joining tracks but it may be shareware.
What format file? There are utilities which edit sound files but hte drawback is if you are using a lossy format (AAC or mp3) they involve re-coding which involves quality loss. If it is something such as mp3 that are utilities such as mp3Trimmer (trial version fully functional) which can join tracks without re-coding.

Playing songs together

Hi:
Some songs need to be heard as a unit and in order. I've tried melding songs together in other programs, but it creates "blips" at the joins. Is there a way to have songs in iTunes recognized as one song, so that, for example, you could play Abbey Road Side 2 as if it were one song.
If it's not possible, how does one send a suggestion to the software designers to add this functionality?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

You can join tracks in iTunes when ripping a CD. If you have the CD, rerip the tunes and under Advanced select Join CD tracks. Note that this cannot be done to already ripped tracks or to iTunes Store purchases.

Locking songs together...taking away the pause that isn't on the recording

How do you make an album such as "The Wall or "Abbey Road" play without the skips between them on an Ipod..... I so love to hear these things in their entirety.
Also, is there a way to lock two song together? You know.... two songs that belong together that will always get separated if played in the random mode. Think Rush 2112.... Overture and Syrinx?
Thanks that anyone can help.

have a look @ this script.

I am new to pages and want to know how to link elements together to create one unified element that I can then duplicate several times on the same page?

I think you are talking about grouping objects.
1. They must all be floating objects
2. Command click on each in turn
Menu > Arrange > Group

Error When Linking Projects Together in Captivate 4

Hello!
I've been having some challenges linking multiple captivate projects together. I've done some research on the forums here and have noticed that this is a pretty common issue. But unfortunately for me, after following the advice that I've read, I'm still having problems. There's obviously something that I must be missing, so I'll do my best to outline what I've done in as much detail as possible in hopes that someone can help me.
Software:
I'm using Captivate version 4.0.1. Build 1658
Situation:
I'm creating an e-learning that it is made up of 8 separate projects:
Project A - Welcome Page (1 slide) which has a button that is linked to Project B
Project B - Home Page (1 slide) made up of 6 buttons, each one links to one of the 6 captivate projects (C-H) listed below
Project C - Lesson 1 (41 slides)
Project D - Lesson 2 (45 slides)
Project E - Lesson 3 (36 slides)
Project F - Lesson 4 (33 slides)
Project G - Lesson 5 (29 slides)
Project H - Lesson 6 (30 slides)
Links:
All of the links are made through text buttons, and when each button was created, in the area where it asks "If the user clicks the button", I select the "open other project" option. Then I browse to the .cp project that I want to launch after the user clicks the button. Only the relative path of the project I selected is showing in the "Project" field, then I click Apply, then OK.
Publishing:
I created a folder on my C: Drive named "MyName Captivate", and I published all of the projects to that folder. Additionally, all of the projects are also in that folder as well. When publishing the projects, I'm publishing them as Flash (.swf) files. On the publishing screen, on the "Project Title" field, I left that field unchanged (it defualts to the project's name). The "Folder" field has C:\MyName Captivate in it. I checked "Publish Files to a Folder" and "Export HTML" under Export Options.
Flash Security Settings:
I went to the Flash Security Settings and made sure that the "Always Allow" radio button was clicked, and then I went to the "Edit Locations" drop down box and navigated to the "C:\MyName Captivate" folder where all of my .cp projects are located and added it to the "Always Trust Files in These Locations" field.
The Problem:
After all of the files have been published, and I test it out in my web browser, I get the following error message when I click the button to go to the linked project (in this case, when clicked, the button is supposed to take me to Project B): "Cannot find file:///C:/Users?HP%20User/AppData/Local/Temp/cp4Temp/~Cal55B/ProjectB.htm. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct." I am confused about where that internet path is coming from, because I made sure to place all of the project files into the "C:\MyName Captivate" folder, and the button when clicked should "open other project", which in this case is Project B.
I hope that all made sense. If anyone can help guide me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help!

WestCoast,
I believe this is an extremely common issue. Personally, I gave up trying to link projects together like this. I also wanted to offer my users a more "perpetual" interface. I wanted the user, at any time, to be able to switch to another Captivate movie - rather than being forced to navigate through more slides to find the right button to click. So, I created a product called the Launch Pad. It works by using one web page with a menu. Clicking a menu item pulls in a seperate .SWF file into the web page.
One suggestion might be to have your buttons link to fully qualified (http://myserver/myfolder) URLs instead of "projects". Each button links to the HTML file that Captivate publishes. Full URLs with the entire URL of the HTML file seem to work better than relative URLs.

Tie two songs together

I'd like to be able to tie two songs together so they always play back to back, yet in a complete shuffle mode. For instance Van Halen's Eruption / You Really Got Me Down. They appear as separate songs on the CD, so they play randomly on the shuffle. Is there a way to tie pairs of songs together?
Thanks

You can join tracks when importing from the CD. Insert your CD highlight the songs you want to join and choose "Join CD Tracks" from the Advanced menu and import: Adding songs from CDs to your library

Re-attaching songs together

I'm sure this question has been answered before, but I can't seem to find the answer...
When one imports a CD to iTunes, every song is imported seperately and independantly. Yet, many songs are suites to one another. Shawn Phillips' "Second contribution" comes to mind: the entire side A is a suite of songs that form a 20 minute string.
When one plays this album in random mode, iTunes does just that. However, is it possible to attach songs together so they can be played in random mode by iTunes as one suite as envisioned by the artist?
Example 2: On Genesis' "Selling England by the Pound", the song 'Aisle of Plenty' is the logical ending of 'The Cinema Show'. How do I re-string those songs so they can still be played one after another, in the proper order?

When importing a CD highlight the tracks you want to join together and then go to the Advanced menu and click on Join Tracks Together. This will import them as one track. Now when you shuffle they will always play in the proper order. If you already ripped the CD you might want to check out Doug's iTunes Scripts at
http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/
I'm sure its called track splicer or something like that.
