Mpc lsplaylists now lists all artists

With the recent "downgrading" of the mpd/mpc (from 0.16.2 to 0.16.1), I find that mpc lsplaylists now lists all artists, rather than simply my saved playlists. Sadly, this interferes with my openbox pipe script.
Could someone please confirm this behavior before I file an upstream bug report?
Also, I assume this is a bug rather than a feature. (I certainly hope it is not a feature.)

I see it also. And given that I can't magically use an Artist name as a playlist (like in a "load" command), it doesn't look like a feature.

List All artists....please?

Hey.
Great as it is to now have all my music on one little player why does some of iTunes seem less organised or adaptable than my old phone's music interface?
Is there any way I can get iTunes to list all the artists seperately, including those that appear on compilations, in the 'Artists' column?
That would be a start and then I'll move on to why does it break up albums that are by the same artist but may 'feature' another on some songs?
Thanks.

*HowTo: Grouping Tracks Into Albums*
Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your iTunes library.
*Use an album friendly view*
iTunes will let you sort music on many columns, some of which are unlikely to group albums together or put the tracks in their normal order. The most useful order for editing the library is probably *Album by Artist*. If you're not already there, select the list view and click on the column heading for Artist until it reads Album by Artist.
*One cover, too many tracks*
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover or append different numbers of spaces for each different album. Somewhat oddly, setting different values for Sort Album doesn't work.
*Album not with others by same artist*
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
*One album, too many covers*
For true compilations, where each track is by a different artist, the answer is to set the compilation flag to true and enable the iTunes preference to *Group compilations when browsing*. Otherwise tracks which list guest artists will be treated as separate items. Filling in the Album Artist field is enough to link things in iTunes. Sadly, however, the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums so this is only a partial solution. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate this is not part of the actual song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
*One album, still too many covers*
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
*Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!*
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading articles (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
*One cover for multi-disc album*
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track (so that no two tracks ever have the same number) until I reach disc 1. BTW You can still give the individual discs different artwork should it be relevant so that the correct artwork will be displayed as the album progresses.
*One artist, many names*
With some artists, particularly classical composers, you should be aware of alternative representations of their names. E.g. 2Pac vs. Tupac. The menus will work best if for each artist you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. For classical music I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.

How do I change my iTunes library from albums listing alphabetically back to artist listing alphabetically. Before the last update to iTunes, everything was listed by artist, now it all is listed by album name. I can't find a way to return it to artist

Before the latest update to iTunes, everything was listed by artist. All albums by the same artist were listed together. Now they are all separated by the name of the album instead of the artist. How do I return to the other format?

Are you viewing it in Artist view or Album view? In Album view, it should still list albums by artist name, then album name. If you're in Album view, you might be looking for Artist view.

I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for 2 years now and then after about a year when I plugged in my iPod to my computer, the iPod is read but the tab where I would always go that showed my list of artists to sync to my iPod does not show up

I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for about two years now and after about one year, I plugged in my iPod into my computer to sync more music. Here is the problem: The tab where you go to sync music to your iPod and shows the list of artists and songs you want to sync to the iPod, the tab I can get to but the list of songs and artists does not show up and the only way I can sync music to my iPod is to basically wipe my iPod and start from scratch. Obviously, I do not want to do that because I do not have all the songs in my library that I have on my iPod. I have uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed it, but it did not work and I do not know what else to do. I would really appreciate helpful guidance to get it fixed if it can be fixed. Thanks in advance

Why are artists in music library being removed from alphabetical list once a track has been played? All artist recently played appear before 'A' in my library.

Why are artists in music library being removed from alphabetical list once a track has been played? All artist recently played appear before 'A' in my library now rendering the search bar on right of screen useless.

Also, why would my music play at all when I turn iTunes Match off and delete all tracks off the phone? Home sharing also disabled. It is very odd!

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod? If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

I used to have this problem.
First, you need to go back on iTunes
you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
Click the album so all the songs drop down
Right click the songs that have this problem
Click ' Get info '
Click the tab that says " info '
The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
as such,
ARTIST
JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
ALBUM ARTIST
JAY-Z
These should be separate for each artist
If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

Use Spotlight Search (the magnifying glass on the top right-hand corner of your menu bar) to locate your music files. Then point iTunes to those files.

When i go to the app store to update the one app that needs to be updated, the screen is blank. It used to list all the apps that need updating and have a button called update all. Now nothing. Just a blank screen.

There's been a problem with this all day. Seems to be a server problem - wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

I used Match, and now there are artists missing when I search by artist, yet they are in my library when I search by song. If they are in many song list, why aren't they in my artist list? Also I can't sort my songs list by artist on iPhone, so their music is basically lost in space....help

It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
being cluttered up with single artists entries who
might have only one song listed.
I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

ITune does not remember my purchase anymore - all apps now list price as if I never purchase them

During chrismas, I discovered several games I previously bought are now listed with full price, even after I went into the info page of the game. Why is this happening? Now every game I have ever bought are all now listed as full price so there is no way for me to tell which game I have bought and which is not unless I check against my purchase history. Does anyone have this problem?

Yep, the behaviour of the iTunes Store you described has been discovered by others as well, unfortunately.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4634697?tstart=30
There are 2 other threads which implies that Apple have changed it intentionally to show prices again:
one, that from now on you can only download already purchased goods once every 90 days -which really concerns me now
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4279696?tstart=0
the other one that it was done intentionally (maybe because of the new download policy)

Where is the option to close multiple tabs? It used to be a Right Click in the "List All Tabs" function. Now it's gone!

Well I figured out how to get the Tab Bar back where it should, down below where you can easily get to it, but now I see that the "Close All Other Tabs" option which used to be in the right click menu of the "List All Tabs" arrow has disappeared.
Is there anyway to get that back? This design change is really not as good as 3.5. Also tell that person to slow down. Who can understand what he's saying?
Thanks!

In Firefox 4 the Tab Bar is a regular toolbar and that causes the toolbar context menu to show if you right click.
You can right click the tab that you want to keep to "Close Other Tabs"

I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either

To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:

All contact birthdays are now listed as the date before

Weird problem that affects my iCal and Address Book. I've recently noticed that every single one of my contacts' birthdays are now listed as the date prior to the actual birthday (the date that was entered in the first place). Not sure when this happened, but it has been since upgrading to Snow Leopard (but I'm not really sure that it occurred because of the upgrade). Has anyone had this problem? I'd love a quick fix, one that doesn't require me manually changing every single contact's birthday. But more than that, I'd like to know why this happened in order to hopefully prevent it in the future. Thanks.

I just discovered the same thing.Had to got through and manually change every birthday. Interestingly, the change was in Addressbook, which is where iCal gets its info.

ITunes 11 always returns to 'All Artists'

When I am importing a CD, and especially when upgrading an old low bite rate album to lossless or higher rate rips, it is useful to be able to switch between the view of the CD track list and the view of the album being replaced so that track names etc. all match up and no duplicates are created.
This worked fine in iTunes 10.
Now however, when I go from the Album view to the CD then back again iTunes keep going back to 'All Artists' rather than the artist I was viewing. This means I have to scroll through the library to find the album again, make some edits then repeat until everything is correct.
I have tried this on PC and Mac and they act the same.
This is now a major PITA. Has anyone found a way to make iTunes remember the album or artist it is viewing and go back to it after switching to looking at something else?

I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.
