Multiple albums for one song?

Is there any way have a song show up in multiple albums without duplicating the song? I have a lot of these, mostly songs that show up on soundtracks. I want 'Whiter Shade of Pale' to show up on 'Procol Harum' and 'The Big Chill Soundtrack.'

You can always add the other album names to the comments section of the file if it means that much to me.
Personally, I only list the name of the collection (soundtrack, best of, etc.) if it is the only version I have of it. But if I later import the original album, any of those songs that are also on a best of collection (after verifying they are truly the same versions) I delete the Best of or soundtrack version and retain the one with the original information (album name, date, etc.).

Multiple Genres for one song

I am not sure if this topic has been covered, as I have had a look and not finding an answer.
I use iTunes as a music catalogue system. I want to be able to use multiple genres for each song, if possible.
I want to use something like this:-
Rock / 70's / 1975.
If someone or anyone can point me in the right direction, i would be most happy.
Thanks in Advance.

Yes you can do that, simply by typing it into the Genre field. When you create your smart playlists, note that a genre of "Rock / 70's / 1975" will not match on Genre is Rock. But it will match on Genre contains Rock.
You may also want to simplify your life a bit by using the Genre field for the genre and the Year field for the Year.

Swiping through multiple artwork for one song

For some songs I have added more than one piece of artwork. Is it possible to swipe through the artwork selections whilst playing the song on my iPhone?

Yes I have just noticed this when I tried to add a back cover as well as the front cover. Certainly you used to be able to have several pieces of artwork.
Does anybody have any info about this?

Show or view multiple album art for one song on iPhone 4?

Is it possible to show or view multiple album artwork for one song on an iPhone 4, especially on the now playing screen? I figured since iTunes has this feature then the iPhone should too. Can I download an app that does this? I've searched but couldn't find any, maybe I'm using other keywords. Could anyone point me in the right direction with this?

Darn. I hope an app is designed to be able to do this soon. From what I've seen this feature isn't really in demand so it could take a while. Thanks for replying.

Pre-ordered an entire album, but was only refunded for one song

on 7/24/14 I pre-ordered TRXYE by Troye Sivan. I got an email saying that something happened and I was getting a refund. I was only refunded for one song. I got a refund for Happy Little Pill, but not the rest of the album. I payed $4.95 for the entire album, and only got $1.29 back. Either I need the entire album free, or the rest of the refund.

How many tracks had been released from the album ? When you pre-order an album (and similarly for any other item) you are not charged for it, you are only charged for the album (or individual tracks) when they are released and you download them - so if only the one track had been released then you will only have been charged for that track, in which case what you have been refunded is correct.

I have multiple views of every album for every song

It should be possible to do this in Multicam - as long as the soloist's voices can be clearly distinguished - but it's a bit complicated to explain it step by step!
I strongly recommend you watch the Ripple Training Tutorial on Multicam Editing in Final Cut Pro X to get the best out of it. (Costs $29.99).

The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
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 downloading 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.)

Just brought the MacPro and first time using iTune and Yes I authorized the computer. But for a few purchased songs, only 30 seconds of the song plays and for one song off an album, a pop comes up saying I need to authorized the computer, but I do this and it says it is authorized already. I click on the song to play it and this process repeat (saying it is not authorized, then saying it is already authorized)

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I just downloaded a pre-ordered album and one song is corrupted and stopping just after a minute in. Can I redownload the song for free?

If you delete the song from your PC you can redownload it. Make sure you actually remove it from the computer, and not just from the library (select "Move to Recycle Bin" when deleting). To redownload you can go to the itunes Store->Purchased-> Download Previous Purchases. Within there you have the option to view all songs purchased, as well as all songs which are "Not In My Libraray".
If you don't feel comfortable deleting the song, you can just move copy/paste it somewhere else so that you've got it backed up in case the re-download doesn't work.

HT1725 i downloaded an album and one song only plays for 3 seconds and then skips to the next song. I can't get it to re-download either. What am I supposed to?

This is the second time that I've downloaded an album and one song off of it will play for 3 seconds and then skip to the next song. I've tried everything under the iTunes help and nothing has worked. Any ideas?

Why can't you delete it and redownload it?
If still problem contact iTunes

How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?

How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?
Some examples include: Linkin Park - Studio Collection, Michael Jackson - The Indisposable Collection

Hi skullkrunch3r,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you "Get Info" on the tracks that are part of your collection, you can use the Compilation option in iTunes.
In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.
See this article for more information on marking your albums as part of a compilation:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

Can you sort multiple albums into one single album....?

So my situation is like this...
I have multiple albums from one specific Band (in this case its music from Shin Megami Persona.) I have all 8 albums sorted separately in Itunes. When it is sync'd to my Iphone it will show all of them in order which is typical. What I am curious about is if I can put the Albums into one Album name and when I click it, it will then show the 8 albums. Basically, this is for the sake of not having a lengthy album list on the iphone.
If my question/explanation was unclear, maybe this might help.
My current Album list looks like this:
Albums- P
Paramore
Persona Reincarnation
Persona 3 OST
Persona 4 OST
Persona 3 FES OST
Persona 3 Portable OST
Persona Music Live 2008
Persona Music Live 2009
Persona Music Live Band
Pink Floyd Greatest Hits
ect... ect...
What I would like is for it to be like this:
Album-P
Paramore
Persona Sountracks <------ click on this
Pinkfloyd Greatest Hits
ect...ect...
Clicking leads to below
Persona Soundtracks:
Persona Reincarnation
Persona 3 OST
Persona 4 OST
Persona 3 FES OST
Persona 3 Portable OST
Persona Music Live 2008
Persona Music Live 2009
Persona Music Live Band
I've been able group them all together by changing them all to the same album name but it just leads to a extremely lengthy list of songs. So if there is anyway to sort by the way I explained above, I am open for suggestions. Thanks!!!1!1!1!1

Thanks. That was very easy and works perfectly. Do you know if I can get my 08 edited footage back into 06 for some additional editing without exporting as a Quicktime movie that I can't edit? I want to add audio tracks that I can edit in synch with my video footage like I can in 06. Thanks!
