Multiple artworks for songs of a the same album

What I have are multiple icons of the same for each song of a particular album, e.g. if I have 10 songs of an album I might have 5 pieces of the same album artwork for every 2 songs. I'm wanting to link the songs all together for a particular album under one icon artwork. How is this done? Furthermore, if I were to choose 20 songs to be linked together under a particular piece of artwork, how would this be done? Finally, in the Info on any particular song, what does the checkbox 'Part of a Compilation' actually refer to?

*Finally, in the Info on any particular song, what does the checkbox 'Part of a Compilation' actually refer to?*
It refers to the song in question and the album it's from. In the Gracenote database the album is referenced as a compilation (either of songs by different artists that are all on one album or that the songs are all from a best of or greatest hits type album). Personally I wouldn't regard single artist Greatest Hits or Best of albums as compilations but many are marked as such in Gracenote.

  • How do I add multiple emails for one contact to the same group list?

    When trying to set up a group email list using address book, is there a way to include multiple emails for the same contact to one group.  For example I'm trying to set up a baseball team group email.  Some kids want emails sent to both mom and dad which have different emails.  I currently have them in my address book as the boy's name with the emails listed as mom and dad.  I can add one "mom" to the list but when I compose the email, it will use the most recent email used.  I would like the group to contain both addresses for mom and dad without setting up to different contacts for the same player.

    var cToAddr = this.getField("saManager").value + ";" + this.getField("ManagerEmail").value;

  • Multiple Libraries for Video running at the same time on one PC

    Hi Everyone -
    I want to clarify this is for VIDEO files, not music for my 6 ATV's on the network.
    Problem: I have well over 1000 VIDEOS in my iTunes Library, and I am wanting to have multiple libraries availible at the same time; not just whichever the computer has open.
    We have several atv's on the network and I would like to take my video organization one step further; instead of scrolling forever in the atv menus for the video you want; I could make several libraries all availible at the same time. 
    Such as:
    Kids Library
    Workout Library
    Parents Library
    etc
    This in turn would shrink the primary library and have less videos to sort by.  I know how to create the Libraries, I just dont know how to have them all running at the same time.
    Infastructure:
    Windows 7 Ultimate with Drobo B800FS (16TB of storage) all connected to Cisco 3660 Gig switch with multiple atv's hardwired back.

    iTunes can only open one library at a time. If you have multiple computers, or virtual machines, each could be serving a different library.

  • Why does my custom artwork for songs default to the original every time I run match?

    any help would be appreciated. getting tired of constantly redoing my custom artwork selections

    I have the same problem, although it doesn't happen with all the songs, but randomly. It's maddening to have to re-edit the same songs again and again.
    The same thing happens with the metadata of the songs, if I change it.

  • How to keep songs from the same album together in the Walkman app?

    How do I keep songs from the same album together in one album instead of it being spilt up into three different albums? Is there any way to keep this from happening? I have all of the correct album information, but it still happens. I thought I would use Media Go and see if it helps but it never works properly. 
    Any suggestions would be much appreicated. 

    Make sure your Album information in mp3 tags is all the same in all tracks belonging to the same album.
    Clear the cache memory of Storage Media service
    https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/WALKMAN/Multiple-Song-and-playlist-appear/m-p/732329?sl=y&sso_no_log=...
    If, despite having the same album information in mp3 tags and clearing cache memory, you still get multiple entries or songs belonging to the same album are split into 2-3 albums, then I suggest an easy way.
    Use Winamp and create an *.m3u playlist in the same directory you have the mp3 files stored in your phone. This playlist will then appear in Playlists - My Playlists and you will be able to enjoy your music in correct order of tracks and all the tracks will be there.
    That is my method (using m3u Winamp playlists) simply because Walkman app does not respect the Track Number tag in mp3 files belonging to the same album and rather sorts the tracks within the same album based on Date Created.

  • Multiple Appearances of the same album artwork

    I was just wondering if there's any way to fix the way my album artwork is showing in the view with the artwork and songs listed at the same time. If I pull in one song at a time to import, it shows the artwork each time something is imported, instead of just showing it once for the whole album. Any way to fix this?

    Mistake?
    Yes, indeed. That can happen when you have several windows open and paste the URL from the wrong one.
    Sorry for that.
    Here is the correct one:

  • How can I display a compilation album as one album rather than as separate songs? (each different artist shows with the same album art)

    I want a compilation album, consisting of different artists, to all be included within the one album folder.  Currently when scrolling through my ipod classic each artist has its own album folder, even though they originate from the same album e.g. "The Best Rock 'n' Roll Album in the World Ever" consists of two discs (50 songs).  Each artist's song shows as a 'separate album' of one song, each with the same album artwork.  I want all of those on Disc 1 to be under one album cover and similarly for those on Disc 2.

    Select all the tracks on disc 1 and via Get Info, change the Album Artist to Various Artists and turn on the compilation flag. This is iTunes 12:
    Then repeat for disc 2.

  • Keeping songs in the same album together

    Because I am traveling for a while, I moved my iTunes library from my iMac to my MacBook Pro. Now, when I open it up, I find that a number of albums have their songs scattered over several different albums, all of the same nsme (even though the library on the iMac displayed songs in the same album together. When I do a get info on the songs (from the same album that appear in different albums), the information appears to be identical, but I am unable to figure out a way to get the songs together in the same album.
    For what it is worth, I copied the iTunes folder from the iMac to the MacBook Pro, and dragged it over to an open iTunes window. I also lost quite a few pieces of album art in the process.

    Look at Steve MacGuire's helpful article for your solution:  http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp

  • Songs for the same album are in different entries on my iPod

    First of all, this problem isn't caused by album name misspelling(or unknown spacing in album names).
    In iTunes, all the songs on the album "Black Holes and Revelations" are displayed together in one entry.
    However, in my iPod, the songs get separated to different entries. Some entries have 2 or 3 songs in them, some have 1.
    The entries for the songs have two different names. Some are listed as "Black Holes And Revelations" (a of and is capitalized), some are listed as "Black Holes and Revelations". However in iTunes, they are all listed as "Black Holes and Revelations" (no capitalization on the "and"). Syncing does not fix the problem, the songs of this album are omitted through the process (iTunes/iPod thinks that the album names are identical during the sync even though some of the "and"s are different.).
    There are a total of 8 entries for the same album. All of the album artworks of the songs are accurate.
    The iPod in question is a 160 GB iPod Classic

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

    For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?  All songs are available on iTunes.  I don't get it!  Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match?  I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

    Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
    You aren't comparing like with like.
    The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
    With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
    In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
    I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
    The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

  • Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

    Hi,
    a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
    I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
    I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
    Here's an example:
    I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
    I discovered something else though:
    When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
    Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
    Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone please answer my question?

  • Windows Media Player in Windows 7 displays the same album art picture for nearly all songs!

    Hello,
    I have just installed Windows 7 Home Premium as a clean install on my PC.  I then imported all my music files back onto the PC and opened up Windows Media Player and found that probably 95% of the songs have the same album cover (Timbaland - Shock Value) against them, instead of how thety were before (either the correct album art, or no album art at all).  Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here as it is pretty annoying that nearly every song has the same album art cover.
    If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Hi Parkesian,
    I would like to suggest you reset the database for Windows Media Player 12 to check the issue.
    Clear the Windows Media Player database
    ========================================
    1. Close Windows Media Player.
    2. Press Win + R to open Run, copy "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player" (without the quotation marks) to the Open box and press Enter.
    3. In the Media Player folder, delete all of the files.
    Note that it is not necessary to remove the folders that are also in this folder.
    4. Restart Windows Media Player.
    At this point Windows Media Player will automatically rebuild the database.
    What’s the result?
