Merging tracks to one album

Sometimes when I import a cd the songs come in as separate albums. Is there a way to consolidate them to one album name? Ditto for say classical music on 2 or more disks.

You sometimes also have to select all the tracks and choose compilation esp for older MP3's or ones with not 100% clean tags.

How to move tracks from one album to another in itunes library?

I have imported an album from my 'Vuze Downloads' folder in my 'iTunes library' but it appears in the library as three seperate albums.
How to i get all the tracks into one album as they were meant to be?
Cheers

Make sure all tracks have the same album name and same artist name (look under Get Info) in order for them to group together. If the album is a compilation with different artists, under Get Info, mark it as a compilation.

How do I merge photos from one album to another on my iPad

How do I merge photos from one album to another. How do I delete, remove albums.

If they are albums that you've synced from your computer then they are removed by re-connecting to your computer's iTunes, de-selecting them on the Photos tab, and re-syncing - albums and photos that you've synced can't be deleted (and albums can't be merged) directly on the iPad.
If they are albums that you've created directly on the iPad then you should be able to delete them on the iPad via the Edit button at the top left of the album selection screen. You can also copy more photos into (via the Edit button when within an album), and delete photos from, those albums.

Combiining music tracks into one album

I recently recorded a few tracks from a CD album into my iPod Touch and each track shows up on my music screen as a separate album (all showing the same album cover art). How do I combine these tracks into one album/ help!

Welcome to AD!
Usually, they all need to have the same exact tags for Album & Album Artist.
Or maybe the "Part of a Compilation" checkbox is giving problems.
This article has some good examples

Hello Jr45,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Instead of having me try to explain this one, check out this wonderfully written article by another forum member turingtest2 on organizing content in iTunes. It should be able to assist you with this situation.

Consolidate tracks into one album

I have the latest version of itunes and I ripped one of my cd's last night. It's a 2 disc album and it ripped disc 2 fine as one album, but disc one is all separate tracks.
I have selected all the tracks and clicked "get into", changed all the info to the same and it used to combine all the tracks into one album, but now for some reason it won't work. I have tried the "consolidate" option and that doesn't work either.
I don't particularly like the new itunes interface to be honest, it looks very cold and uninviting
Apologies if i'm on the US site of Apple, I keep changing the page to UK and it keeps reverting me back to US again!

Hi there.
Thanks for your reply. I was trying to do this last night, I updated to itunes 11 a few days ago. I turned on my laptop this morning and found there was another update, so I updated and now it works!
The album in question is a various artists one, so I change the album artist to various artists, so it preserves the artist name on each individual track.
I don't know about you, but when an album has more than one disc, I always re-number the tracks and combine them all into one complete album, it looks tidier that way, instead of having disc 1, disc 2 etc.
I guess I'll have to get used to the new interface of itunes, as long as it works properly that's all that matters I suppose.

Consolidating tracks under one album

How do you consolidate tracks under one album... i imported an album and now it has multiple album covers, separating the tracks.

Have you had a look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together

HT4059 Can I use Consolidate Files to move several different tracks into one Album?

Can I use Consolidate Files to move different tracks into one Album?

No, that's not what the Consolidate command is for. That command for getting all your track files into a single folder. To get all the tracks in an album to appear together, just Get Info on the tracks and make the album name all the same for each track. See:

Merging Songs into One Album

Hey iTuners
I have been meaning to ask this question for a while. I have some old CDs that I have tried to import and a track or two has failed importing due most likely to some damage that has happened to the original CD. I have bought the "broken" track or two from the iTunes Store to complete my album. The problem is that iTunes shows two Albums for the same artist with the exact same album name - one album has the purchased music in it and the other one has the imported music.
How can I merge these two albums together?
Thanks a bunch guys and girls.

1.) +When i import a CD when offline into my itunes library it does not recognise a whole album as one entity+
Select all the tracks before you import it, go to the OPTIONS tab and uncheck "part of a compilation". Then put Album Artist = whoever the artist is
The Artist field can still say "Pink feat. Somebody"
This excellent page by a regular forum poster has an in-depth explanation

2) I don't understand your question
3) +Sharing - i have just bought a laptop to share it with my partner.+

Pay attention to the part about sharing music between accounts on the same PC so you don't have multiple copies of the same tracks

How do I recombine tracks from one album that have been split up in the iCloud

I have a number of soundtrack albums where each track is atributed to a different artist. When they go into iCloud they sort as multiple "albums", one for each artist. They show the same album name but each track is mixed amoung my other albums alphabetically by the artist. Is there any way I can get them all to show together under the one album title?

It's kind of tedious, but go into the "Info" for each song and check the "Compilation" box, one by one. Go back to your album list and they will be listed all together.

Adding tracks to one album?

I have just selected a music folder from my pc and added it to itunes! the problem I have is that a couple of tracks from the album have downloaded separatley from the actual main album and they are showing up as different albums but with the same name? how do I add the couple of rogue tracks into the main album?

You sometimes also have to select all the tracks and choose compilation esp for older MP3's or ones with not 100% clean tags.

How do I put a group of tracks into one album

How do I put a group of songs into one album? They copied separately into iTunes.

Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. On iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

When i import a compilation cd how do i get all the tracks into one album in the music library. They are currently listed as individual tracks or albums.

When I import a compilation CD the tracks list as individual albums. How can I get them consolidated into one album?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For a compilation use Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab of Get Info.
