Music combining into one album

I have loaded onto my MAC from cd's two albums one by one artist and another by a different artist. The albums are "Greatest Hits" collections and the albums are titled "Greatest Hits". Itunes combined the two albums into one.
How do I get them back to the original albums?

See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover, too many tracks .

  • Podcasts won't combine into one album.

    Ever since I upgraded to 9.0.0.70 some of my Podcasts (not all of them) will not combine (append) into the original Podcast album. As I download a new issue, each new Podcast issue creates an ablum of its own. I can't seem to get them to combine into one album - the original album. Why is this happening? How can I combine the new issues into the original album?
    Thanks, Jim Finney

    I resolved my issue.
    Do the following:
    1. Go to settings/main menu and make sure the podcast setting is on.
    2. Connect your iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. On the iTunes menu go to edit/preferences/podcasts and click on the iPod preferences button. Make sure you have the podcasts you want updated checked. (WARNING!!! This step will likely erase and podcasts you have on your iPod now). It should warn you of this.
    This resolved it for me and it now works like a charm. You May not even have to do step 2. Let me know how it works out.

  • Combiining music tracks into one album

    I recently recorded a few tracks from a CD album into my iPod Touch and each track shows up on my music screen as a separate album (all showing the same album cover art). How do I combine these tracks into one album/ help!

    Welcome to AD!
    Usually, they all need to have the same exact tags for Album & Album Artist.
    Or maybe the "Part of a Compilation" checkbox is giving problems.
    This article has some good examples

  • Combining several songs into one album

    I have numerous songs from different artists that I want to combine into one album, so that when I browse using either Cover Flow or Album View, all those songs will be listed under one album. After over two hours of searching on the Internet I found this very useful site:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304389
    The problem that I am encountering is the one illustrated under the heading "Albums with various artists." After following all the recommendations, I am still encountering the same problem - each song is listed under a separate album. Anyone have any idea what to do? For the record I have already tried these remedies:
    -Selected all the songs and changed the album name so that they all have the exact same album name
    -Selected all the songs and changed the album artist name so that they all have the exact same album artist name
    -Selected all the songs and set "compilation" to "yes"
    -In Preferences, under the General tab I checked "Group compilations when browsing"
    Thank you in advance.

    The albums will only show up under the same cover in Cover Flow if you are sorting by Album or Album by Artist.

  • A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing.  How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

    Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed.  How can I combine them to make one album?

    First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply.  I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved.  Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue!  I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info".  However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album.  I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library.  I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can.  Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this.  Thanks so much for your patience!

  • 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

  • Songs in my Itunes show up as separate folders.  How do I combine them into one album?

    Songs in my Itunes show up as separate folders.  How do I combine them into one album?

    Is this one of those CDs where the main artist asks their friend to sing a song with them?
    Such as, Slash's new album. Track 1 is "Slash Feat. Ian Astbury", track 2 is "Slash Feat. Ozzy Osbourne" and so on.
    To fix this, select all the tracks on that album, right-click > Get Info, and say YES to changing multiple items.
    Put "Slash" in the *Album Artist* field (for this example, of course).
    Make sure it is the *Album Artist* field, not the plain Artist field.

  • When I import a commercial CD itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the other album by it self. How can I combine them all into one album and why is itunes doing this?

    When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created.  Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?

    I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
    What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track.  That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty).  It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
    iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?

    How to combine mutiple tracks into one album in itunes 12

    Make sure they all have the same Album Artist and Album Name.

  • Combine different artists into one album

    I just downloaded O Brother, Where Art Tho? into my library. Each song is by a different artist and I want to combine all into one album. Same with Eric Clapton. He did one song with Blind Faith, one with Cream, etc and I want them all under 'The Cream of Eric Clapton' not under each group. How can this be done?

    Is this in iTunes?
    There is a separate discussion group for iTunes.
    In iTunes, select the album and Get Info.
    Check the box that says, "Compilation".
    The album will show under the artist heading "Compilations".

  • When i import a compilation cd how do i get all the tracks into one album in the music library. They are currently listed as individual tracks or albums.

    When I import a compilation CD the tracks list as individual albums. How can I get them consolidated into one album?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For a compilation use Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab of Get Info.

  • HT1819 [Podcast] mix all the imported mp3 files into one Album

    Dear Sir,
    I need your help of the app [Podcast].
    Let me explain my problem.
    I enjoying listening to Audiobooks very much.
    Everytime I use the iTunes to import some mp3 stories into my iPhone, then change their properties from MUSIC to AUDIOBOOKS. Because I like the convenience of the very two buttons ( 15 seconds of fast backward jumping, and 15 seconds of forward jumping).
    But I cannot easily delete those mp3 files that I've just heard. The only way is to erase the whole album in SETTINGS.  (I have a bad memory, always forgot which one that I have heard)
    Then, I found the app [Podcast], it has all the functions that I need:
      one, 15 seconds of fast backward & farward jumping;
      two, very convenient (sleeping) timer function;
      three, I can easily delete each mp3 file that I've just heard so I know where CAN I continue.
    So, I love the app [Podcast], from then on, through the iTunes, I change the properties of my mp3 stories from MUSIC to PODCASTS. It's very easy to operate.
    But, then I found something strange: the app [Podcast] mixes every mp3 files together,into one ALBUM, in spite of the ALBUM informations that I defined in EACH mp3 tags.
    The app [Music] can classify each ALBUM of those imported AUDIOBOOKS, why can't [Podcast]?
    Could you please show me what to do?
    Thank you very much.
    Yours,
    ZJH

    This is EXACTLY my problem....and I am disheartened that there is NO reply with fix for this.  I need to find another app to use.  I like to use the podcast app for audio files so I can listen to them in 1.5x or 2x speed.  Frustrated....

  • How do I put a group of tracks into one album

    How do I put a group of songs into one album?  They copied separately into iTunes.

    Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. On iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
