Multiple songs by same artist...

This problem does not usually happen but since it has I do not know how to fix it. I downloaded a few songs by the same person but on my Ipod they will not all go under the one name, I have the artist's name two times instead. This is frustrating me, both of the spellings are exactly the same so I know that is not the error. Please help if you know what I could possibly do. Thanks so much!

First, make sure they are absolutely identical names by copying the name from one and pasting it in all of the others. Even an extra space at the end of a name and such will be seen as a different name by iTunes.

How to avoid multiple listing for same artist?

How to avoid multiple listing for same artist?

Sounds like there might be blanks in the artist name.
For instance "Lou Reed" and "Lou Reed_" will not match.
(Pretend the underscore _ is a blank).
Select all the Lou Reed songs, Get Info, and type "Lou Reed" in the artist field. That should fix it.

Multiple entries of same artist and song on my ipod

hi. I'm new to ipod an can't say i'm enjoying this very "controlled" experiance.
Can someone please tell me why I have multiple entries on my pod? The same artists somtimes with the same songs othertimes not. It's a **** mess. It's also downloaded the artwork in 3's as well and split up my albums. All the id tags are right too. 4 days an ipod owner and already I'm regretting it. Mind you I was warned all my pals told me to stay well away.
thanks for all help.

Most likely issue is that they really are different. Sometimes there is an extra space or different Capitalization. You can't see extra spaces if they are at the end but iTunes does.

Multiple listings of same artist

After syncing my Ipod, I find that I have the same artist listed multiple times. For example, when I scroll by artist I'll have 2 that say "Snow Patrol." I have checked that they are both spelled the same, with no differences. Sometimes it will even split up an album with half of the tracks going to the first listing of the artist and half to the second listing.
I have gone through the 5 R's several times with no change.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can merge the multiple listings of each artist into one?

I had the very same problem and found this posting looking for an answer to that. I had checked as well to see that the name of the artist was the same on every song and even erased and rewrote them and the problem was still there. i did what First magun seggested in his posting though and copied the artist's name from one song and just pasted it on the others and the problem was fixed. I don't know why because the names were written the same and everything but for som strange reason that did fix the problem so, thanks!

Multiple Entries of Same Artist in IPOD

I am getting multiple entries of the same artist on my IPOD even though I checked the spelling and spacing very carefully and they're all identical. Example: I have 3 Bruce Springsteen lines with his songs/albums scattered across the 3 entries versus having everything in one place. How do I rectify?

Most likely issue is that they really are different. Sometimes there is an extra space or different Capitalization. You can't see extra spaces if they are at the end but iTunes does.

How do I "check" multiple songs at same time?

I'm trying to backup my itunes library to DVD, but itunes will only burn songs from a playlist if the box is checked. I have 900+ songs that are unchecked that I need to backup. I realize I can just re-import them from the original CD, but then I will also have to rate the songs all over again.
A. How do I check multiple songs, or...
B. Is there another way to backup the ratings data for each song?

Highlight all the songs that you want, you could hit command+A to select them all.
Then right click, or control+click and choose "Check Selections"

How can I play multiple albums from same artist in album order on iPhone 4?

Just purchased an iPhone 4 from Verizon. When I select an Artist and then choose "All Songs", the only choice I am provided is to play the songs in alphabetic order. I would prefer to play them in the original album order. Is there a setting that can be changed to accomplish this?

For those who arrive here later than this answer, the app is now called "Continue" & is available free with addware or paid without.

Best way to mix multiple songs with same template?

From what I gathered, I know I can save a particualar session as a "user" template, that way I can mix another song retaining all the same EQ, comp... etc, as well as arrange layout. Is this the best way to accomplish what I aim for? I've finished one song, now i am using a song from the same recording session, (same mic placement, and track assignment). Now, I want to start fresh with another song, using different effects and such, but I'd like to keep the same basic EQ and such.......
Let me know my Logic gifted friends!

From the Manual 272:
Channel Strip Settings Menu
If you click on the word Insert on any channel strip, the Channel Strip Settings menu
opens. This menu allows you to load and save the entire routing configuration of a
single channel strip, including all loaded plug-ins and settings.
The ability to save an entire routing configuration can be used in a number of ways,
such as:
• Setting up and storing complex multi-effect configurations—on any type of channel.
• Similarly, the configuration of a particular routing configuration for use with multi-
output software instruments.
• Copying a routing or effect configuration between Projects.
• The rapid creation of new Templates.
The Channel Strip menu offers the following items:
• Next/Previous Channel Strip Setting: Loads the next or previous Channel Strip
Setting in the list.
• Copy/Paste Channel Strip Setting: Allows to you to copy and paste Channel Strip
Settings between channels or Projects.
• Save Channel Strip Setting as: Saves the Channel Strip Setting, and allows you to
name it.
• Once you have created one or more Channel Strip Settings, a list of settings will be
shown below the menu functions. The active Channel Strip Setting is denoted by a
bullet.
So it recalls all the inserts and settings in 1 convenient preset (as well as if the track is M or S) but where it is routed or sends info is not recalled - nor Pan or fader, though there is a gain plug.

Multiple Libraries with same artists on external hard drive

I have saved about 5 seperate iTunes libraries and have now gotten them all on the same external hard drive. I have aprox 19000 tracks at about 168gb. The libraries r kind of a mess and I'm wondering if there's a shortcut to organizing files. Otherwise this is gonna take forever.

You need to turn on Sharing for the external drive - Select the external drive. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and check the Shared box. If the drive is connected to your computer then turn on File Sharing in your Sharing preferences and list your wife's username for access.
You might also wish to read iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer as well as just sharing the library using the iTunes' Sharing preferences.
Also, see iTunes- How to share music between different accounts on a single computer.

HT201616 Multiple versions of same song by different artists

iTunes used to have a feature where you can view multiple versions of the same song by different artists. Is there still a way to do this without having to search through the entire iTunes store? That way takes forever and I have to sample tracks that are completely unrelated, but just happen to have the same title. Why in the world would the dumb iTunes geeks take this feature away. Someone please help. Thanks!

Have not been in ITUNES Store in quite awhile but
If it was a function, it would rely on the person or persons who authored the song to insure you did get the same lyrics so to speak.
So, if you didn't know the artist you wanted - or the authors of the song - you would have to sample them until you hit the correct one.
Itunes did grow over time - and if they did have cross reference by authors they may have removed it - on the other hand like searches may have worked because of a limited database at the time - it did seem to start adding songs based on searches that brought up nothing one time - and a month later there they were.
ITUNES has over time added restrictions - for instance at some point - you had to allow this computer on Itunes in order to have itunes synchronize to an IPOD (I purchased about 6 songs on old mac - after migration synchronized fine until they stopped - finally mac allowed more than one device so I could add this one and synchronization started again).
Here are latest restrictions with windows and Mac if you want to burn CD's of your itunes

Same Artist Lists Multiple Times

I'm confused on why a random artist will list itself multiple times when others will organize themsevles under one name with a drop menu. All the artist/album/track information is listed correctly but on Itunes and on the Ipod it will list it seperately instead of together. Anyone know how to fix that?

You need to make sure the artist name is spelt in an identical manner on every track. Even an extra space at the end of the name that you might not notice can make a difference. Try this even if everything looks the same. Sort your iTunes library by artist to bring your tracks together. Click on the first track by your artist, hold down the shift key and click on the last track in the list, this will highlight all in between. Right click on the list and choose Get Info, you get a dialogue box asking if you want to update multiple items, click Yes. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name. Overtype the artist name then click ok and this will ensure the whole selection is identical. Once you've done this connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the changes. If you are updating manually follow the instructions above with the iPod connected and carry out the changes directly on the iPod's song list.
If the name is not the issue, try this. Highlight all the songs for that artist, right click on them and select "apply sort field/same artist".

Multiple of same artist in artist view

i just got a ipod nano 4th generation and i noticed it will display the same artist twice on the artist menu. my old one [2nd gen] did this too. it's kind of annoying because all the songs by an artist are then split in to more than one group and i must choose which artist listing to get to the song i want rather than just having them all in one group. there are no spelling errors in ther listings. So what i'm wondering is what causes this and is there a way to fix it?
thanks

i went through my library and retyped all of the artists that repeated, and then restored the ipod and reloaded the songs. it helped some, but there are still repeats. my only guess would be the source of the files. i got a lot of my from my friends [from external hard drives etc] and the others i got off cd, the arists that repeat seem to be the ones with multiple sources but i dont know a fix for that.

How Do I put in the same image for multiple songs on iTunes

Hi,
I know if I click on the song on "info", I am able to change the album image. Is there a way for me to select multiple songs and do a bulk change with the same image?
Thanks.

Yes.
Select multiple songs, get info and paste the artwork.
Or select multiple songs and drag the artwork to the artwork window at the lower left of iTunes.
