Multiple Music Videos Grouped Together Under "Unkown Album"

I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1 (this bug might have existed in 8.0.0 but I only noticed it now).
Some of the music videos I have purchased off the iTunes Store are now grouped together under Unknown Album. This only happened for some of the videos I have purchased. There is nothing written under the albums line when I click get info. It only says Unknown Album in grid view, but they are under the same album artwork in Cover Flow.
Here is a screen shot of how it looks in grid view. The "album" with multiple videos is on the left, next to two music videos displayed properly:
Here is what it looks like in cover flow:
The next two are the setting under get info.
Thank You To Anyone Who Can Help!

It isn't a perfect world. Make something up that is meaningful to you to help keep things neat if that is what you are looking for.
I let iTunes do the work and have the 'keep' and 'copy' features enabled in iTunes prefs>Advanced. To keep my stuff simple I have created my own compilation albums and label them as compilations. 80's, 90's etc. as there are to many one-hit-wonders to let them loose all over the place. So by creating compilations I keep things together.
You could apply the same idea to the videos. Call the Album 'My Music Video's' and label them all with that and select the compilation option and they will all be in one place.

How do i get all my songs of one album together under one album artwork

how do i get all my songs of one album together under one album artwork some are ok and some are all over the place

If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them (Choose File > Library > Consolidate Library). When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Consolidating your library - Windows

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location. They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

How can I play multiple music videos continuously on Apple TV?

Regular music plays continuously, one song to another, etc. I can't get my music videos to do the same. One plays, and after it's over, ATV won't go to the next video. I can't figure it out. Does anyone out there know how to do it?

What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
I have submitted feedback.

Music Video artists appearing under Music on iPod

I have music videos on my iPod that display just fine, and they sort just fine, but the artists that are attributed with the videos are appearing under the Music > Artists section. This is either causing duplicate entries that lead to the same list of albums, or an entry without any albums.
What's going on?

It's normal. Because that video file is also an audio file, it shows up under songs, artists, etc., just as any music file would. (And the entries aren't "duplicates," if I'm understanding you correctly. The file is only on your iPod once, it's just accessible from several different menus.) If you want to express to Apple your displeasure with this feature in iTunes, Google Apple feedback iTunes and send them feedback through the form.

Having downloaded update 10.5, the artists section of my iPod no longer recognises artists who feature on compilation albums. Instead it groups them under the album artist, ie various artists. Any suggestions?

Having downloaded iTunes update 10.5, my iPod no longer recognises in the artists section those artists who feature on various artists' compilation albums. Instead the iPod groups them under various artists, and, if you are looking for a particular artist,who only features on a compilation, you have to remember or search to see which various artist album they feature on - all very frustrating, especially as it worked OK before the update. So far I've not updated any more - so I've not taken 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 because 10.5 caused me so many problems, but I'm wondering if the solution could be in those updates
I've tried amending the iTunes library artist and album artist, and it is possible to get the iPod to recognise the artists, but the downside is that the library then removes the artist from the album, and you then have to play those tracks individually
Has anyone suffered the same problem and, if so, has a solution been found?

Why do my Music videos go together with my music as "audio"

Hey Guys,
can anyone of u figure this out, i currently have 56 music videos on my 30GB iPod, when i edit my music videos i would put them as "music video" in the (video kind) options, the problem i can't seem to figure out is why my music videos are my listed as "music" in my list of music.
I have other videos like video podcasts and movies and they are visible as "video" on the status bar which tells me how much videos i have, how much space and how much time they take up.
can anyone please tell me why my music videos do not come up in the video list on the status bar?

Hello Dr.Doss,
u seem to have misunderstood my problem sorry if it was confusing, but that is exactly what i normally do, so it is not new to me, but even when i do that my music videos would not come up in iTunes as "videos" they r visible in the list with my music with the (video symbol) so in other words i would see music and music videos together as "music" i even created a (smart playlist) for the music videos.
Well i recently restored my iPod so when i replaced all of my music, photos and music videos onto it except "movies" and "video podcast" and i looked at the status bar i only see "audio, photos and other" i do not see "video " although i have music videos on it, they r videos aren't they!
Please help me with this puzzle

Music videos being shown within the album list

is it just me, or are music videos now being shown within the music section as well ?
for example.
a video for a single is correctly being shown in the "music videos" section within "my music".
however when i go into "my music" > "artists" > "single" - it is showing the video in there along with the music tracks.
now i'm pretty sure that they weren't being shown there before, but they are now and it makes is confusing when looking for play 1 track and it is now listed twice, 1 track and 1 video.

They have always been there on mine, same as Front Row on my Mac. The thing that bugs me is they are listed as 'Unknown Album' unless you assign an album name for the video track. This is true for all the music vids from iTunes. It doesn't look very professional. I might just add the album name 'Video' to them all so it looks a bit better.

Playing multiple music videos.

After a music video finishes playing the iPhone goes back to the menu where I can pick a video to play.
I'd really like to find a way to have the phone play all the videos in a given play list like it does for music instead of having to manually select the next one.
Is there any way to do this?
thanks,
Bill

Hi Ian, thanks for that, I bought AirFoil, seemed to be just what I needed. Its a great piece of kit, I can even use my iPhone as a remote speaker! But it falls short of my requirements. To play music videos without a 2 second audio lag, you have to use the in built video player, which only allows single files to be loaded rather than a playlist, meaning each song needs to be loaded individually, which isn't perfect for parties!
I will keep looking for a solution. Really appreciate your help, I thought you had cracked my problem with Airfoil!
Cheers

anyone seen this before? Still need help!!!

Viewing multiple music videos on I-Phone

How do you view multiple videos on the I-Phone. I can view all individually but cannot find a way to have the Phone view one after the other. I seem to be able to select and play only one at a time. When the video stops, I have to reselect another video to see it. Can't these be set to play continuously as they can on the I-Pod?

Differentiating calendars by name or color is not supported at the present time.
Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below Calendars, there is a "put new events created on this iPhone into the calendar" and select the calendar you want for this purpose.

How do I group songs under one album, please?

OK, so I
iTunes works better than Windows media player for my set up with Windows 7 Ultimate .... BUT it 'took over' the Media Player library and put some tracks as separate entries - so, for example, I have one album of Rod Stewart in 6 different places, with tracks from the same album. I have tried everything I can think of, even deleting the whole album and starting again - frustratingly, same result. Can anyone help, please?

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

Poor music video quality, example new Beyoncé album

Has Apple any plans to change the poor SD quality?
It makes no sense for me to purchase such a bad quality.

Nothing that has been announced.

In that case, do not purchase.

Group Different Albums by the Same Artist under one Album Cover

I've read many posts regarding grouping tracks by different artists into one album, but none dealing with grouping tracks by one artist together from different album titles. An example of this would be classical pieces that are divided into different acts, or more recently, the new Green Day album "21st Century Breakdown," which also divides the album into "acts." Another example of this situation could be a box set by a particular artist, for instance an Eagles box set that contains 3 discs of differing titles (disc one: Eagles, disc two: Desperado, disc three: Live) in which case the three CDs are all essentially part of the same album.
I know the grouping field can be utilized to tag all the CDs within the same set to keep them together; however, I have not been able to use this feature to group albums such as those mentioned above together under one album art in the grid or in the coverflow view. It looks rather silly when there are 3 or 4 of the same album cover in a row in the grid or the coverflow.
The best way I could think to differentiate the different acts on an album or CDs in a set was to group the songs in their own folder and change the title of the album tag to reflect which act (or CD) those particular tracks covered. While this works in the list view to keep the tracks in order, it does not allow me to view the album as a “whole” using the coverflow view. It seems the only way to merge differently tagged tracks is if the ALBUM title is the same even if there are multiple artists. I’ve tried using the grouping, sorting, and “part of a compilation” options with no success. Is there any way to merge these tracks under one album art while retaining the different album names?

Adding slightly to the previous post I would suggest that you give each disc of the set an appropriate disc no., e.g. Discs 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 for Eagles, Desperado & Live respectively in your Eagles Box Set. Record the individual disc titles in the Comments or Grouping field, then change the Album title for all three discs to something appropriate like "Eagles Box Set". The three discs will collapse into one cover and play in sequence. If marking the transition from one disc to another matters you could, for example, simply add the album name in brackets to the first track of each album. You could use curly brackets to distinguish this from other types of track comment. For more organizational tips see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.
The alternative approach for box sets which simply repackage a number of original albums together is to find the original artwork for each album.

When sorting my music in iTunes by artist, the albums are split up into multiple different albums. Any help?

I have just recently downloaded the Californication album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I like to sort my iTunes by artist. But then if I want to see all the albums by an artist, it shows that I have multiple Californication albums. 3 or 4 songs will show up on each of the "other" Californication albums. How do I get them to all sit together under one album cover, when I sort by artist? Any help would be greatly appreciated..

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.
