Multiple Albums with same content on iPod

I just downloaded a ton of new music, from a differnt site than iTunes. When I sync the new music to my iPod nano (4 gen.), one artist in particular has some trouble. I go to them and there are 4 or 5 of the same album that say 1 song, 2 songs, 3 songs, etc, but when I selet the album, all of the songs are in there. And this occurs in each album, whether it says it has 1, 2 or 3 songs. Also, all of the songs work and when I select all songs, they don't repeat like the albums do. I tried restoring the iPod but it still isn't working. Is it an iTunes problems or is it my iPod or computer or what?

A spelling or punctuation mistake, or sometimes a trailing space usually causes this after the artists and/or song name, which fools the iPod into thinking that there are two different artists or songs. The trailing space is the hardest to spot.
Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
This brings up the multiple song info window. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
So to correct this, in the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. You should do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.

  • To create multiple files with same content but with different names

    Hi SapAll.
    here i have got a tricky situation on Idoc to File Scenario.
    in my interface of an Idoc to file ,there  is requirement to create multiple files with different file names but with same content based on one Idoc Segment.
    which means there will be one Zsegment with two fields in the idoc,where one field with (content refers to the name which file name should start with .so lets say if this segment is repeated for 3 times then PI should create 3 files in the same directory with same content but with different file names (from the filed).
    so here for now iam using one reciever file communication channel.
    can any body give me the quick answer.
    regards.
    Varma

    What do you mean by different names?
    when i make proper setting in the Receiver Channel....on how to create the filename (what to append) like add Timestamp, counter, date, messageid.....even in this case you will ahve file with different names and that too from same File channel.
    You can perform multi-mapping in XI/ PI and then your File channel will place the files in the target folder with relevant names. You cannot use Dynamic Configuration with Multi-Mapping!
    If you intend to use different File channels, then do the configuration as required (normal)...even over here you can follow multi-mapping.
    Do not use a BPM!
    Regards,

  • Importing multiple albums with same name

    I have two different soundtrack recordings of a movie, which I am trying to import from CDs. But iTunes 10 keeps munging the tracks into a single album and I have not found a way to keep the albums separated. I've loaded one and changed the album name by adding "Original Soundtrack". Then trying to import the other version, iTunes pops up a message about duplicate tracks and overwrites into the previous directory even when I check "Don't Replace".
    I've seen a lot of questions about how to delete duplicate albums, but I can't find a way to get near-duplicates into the library. Any suggestions?

    iTunes uses a maximum of 40 characters for file and folder names. if the original album title is long enough they may still clash at the folder level before you add any extra text.
    When the CD is sitting in your drive & before you start ripping, you can use Get Info. to edit indivdual tracks or properties for the whole album, e.g. set the Album title, complete the Album Artist field, or select Part of a compilation.
    If iTunes is recognising both albums (which you say are distinct recordings) as being the same thing then perphaps your edits get stored in the local database and applied to the second album when it is inserted into the drive. You should however be able to select any particular set of tracks and give them the albun title you feel is appropriate without anything else being modified.

  • Multiple Users with Same Content

    Ok. So I am trying out a new thing for my family.
    Right now, 4 of us share one account. However, I am now making it so that I have my own account, while those 3 share the other one.
    I successfully made my own account (Administrative, as I tend to manage the computers), and that is all nice and wonderful.
    However, I still want to use many of the same things we have on the other account. So here's my questions (please tell me if I should go to another forum for any of them):
    1. How do I get my iTunes library onto the new account? Also, will that use up another one of my 5 authorized computers for the account?
    2. I can just move programs from one account to the other by, well, how, actually? Preferrably, I would like to not take up space on the hard drive twice.
    3. Anything else I might need to know would be very helpful.
    I appreciate it! Thanks!

    Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
    I will post back later when I have time to try out the Applications stuff, but I'm having some difficulties with the link you gave.
    So I seem to get stuck at step 2/3 (kinda seem the same to me). I do everything it says in Terminal, but it doesn't seem to be making the folder. It comes up with this message after I hit Enter (of course after I've entered the code).
    usage: chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-a | +a | =a [# [ n]]] mode|entry file ...
    I go to the Shared Folder, but the folder I just thought I was making is noticably absent. I have tried that little note it says right below 3, but it doesn't seem to help.
    Is there maybe another way I can make the folder and then change its permissions (or whatever you want to call it)? Or is there maybe some obvious thing I am doing wrong? (I posted my whole little adventure below).
    Thanks for your help! I really do appreciate this! Sorry if my questions kinda seem stupid (although it wouldn't be too hard for me to believe)!

  • New iPod Touch, duplicated albums with same songs in each album?

    I was wondering if anyone could offer me some help. I got a new iPod touch today in replacement of my old 8G one, and i transferred all my music okay, but when i went onto my albums option on my ipod, it listed several of the same albums with same songs on them, eg. my Watchmen soundtrack appears at least 7 times, all with the same songs. why is this? and i was it only with some of my music? can anybody help me please?

    an ID3 Tag is the data that is used to properly identify the music that is playing on the track. For instance, if you have a song playing on your iPod, it'll tell you the song name and artist, and what disc it's on. That's what the ID3 Tag is responsible for. Otherwise it'd just read the filename of the track and call it like that. No organization whatsoever.

  • To create 3 diff files with same content but with diff names in same target

    Hi SapAll.
    i have got a a requirement where pi need to create 3 different files with same content but with different names under same target from a single Idoc.
    its an IDOC to 3 File Inteface.
    can any body help me in providing the differnt solutions for this without use of any script executions.
    will be waiitng for response.
    regards.
    Varma

    > i want to use only one communication channel to produce 3 different file names with same content ,so here i should use only one message mapping in 3 operation mappings .
    This is not possible to produce 3 different file names with single CC. You have to use 3 different CCs. unless you have going to use some other trick e.g some script to rename the file etc..
    As I suggested in my previous reply use Multi-Mapping Or create 3 different Interface Mappings (by using the same MM).
    Note: You have to create 3 different Inbound Message Interfaces (you can use the same Inbound Message Type) otherwise while creating the 3 Interface Determination it won't allow because of same Outbound & Inbound Message Interface. It will simply say Interface alreday exists..
    So, just use the Multi-Mapping which is best solution in my opinion, because the benefit of using multi-mapping are:
    1. You have to create only single Message Mapping
    2. Single Interface Mapping
    3. Single Receiver Determination
    4. Single Interface Determination
    5. 3 Receiver CCs (3 you have to use in any case)
    6. Performance wise it is good (read the blog's last 2 para)
    7. And last but not the least easy to maintain the scenario.

    please anyone give a solution to this problem

  • Read multiples files with same extension

    how to read multiples files with same extension in java.
    for ex : i would like to read all .DAT files from C drive using java.
    How is it done

    - You create the filter
    - You get the list of files
    - You open and read each file.
    For the first two above you look at java.io.File and listFiles(FileFilter filter).
    For the third you find whatever input stream is appropriate from java.io.*

  • Multiple accounts with same email

    I have multiple accounts with same email
    The one that has all my contacts is the one attached to FB but for some odd reason I can no longer access this specific account
    When I try to reset my password, it only keeps asking me to change my FB password
    Once I try logging in on Skype, it keeps asking my FB to connect to the other 2 Skype accounts, completely diffente usernames
    I am only interested in the one that originally connected to my FB as it has all my contacts
    As my other 2 accounts are my old Skype accounts and have my old contacts from years ago

    Actually this morning I was able to log on the account from an iPad with no fuss but the pc refuses to sign in^^^!???! "Skype couldn't connect" - What is going on???
    I also found out that I could sign in via a browser but not via skype program... So I uninstalled it and installed it again and it's working now...
    I have now changed the email so I don't have 3 accounts with the same primary email as Skype seems to not being able to handle multiple accounts with same email!!!

  • Mounting multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point on another server

    We have a requirement where in we have multiple solaris servers and each solaris server has a directory with the same name.
    The files in these directories will be different.
    These same name directories on multiple severs has to be mounted to a single directory on another sever.
    We are planning to use NFS, but it seems we can not mount multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point using NFS, and we need to create multiple mount points.
    Is there any way we can achieve this so that all the directories can be mounted to a single mount point?

    You can try to mount all these mount points via NFS in one additional server and then export this new tree again via NFS to all your servers.
    No sure if this works. If this works, then you will have in this case just an additional level in the tree.

  • Issue with multiple Albums with the same name. (i.e. Greatest Hits)

    I have multiple albums all with the same name (i.e. Greatest Hits). iTunes mixes all of the albums as one. All of the track 1s together, all track 2s together .... Is there a way for iTunes to recognize that there is more than 1 album with the same name? and to keep each album seperate.
    Thanks

    You need to let iTunes know that they are different albums. The trick I use that work fine is to simply add the artist name of which it is the Greatest Hits in the "Album Artist".
    That way, iTunes will keep your album together.
