One album divided into many parts

Some of my songs in iTunes that should be listed under a single album title are divided into several albums(all with the same album title). I've gone into "get info" and made sure that every listing is spelled, punctuated and phrased the same way, but I still can't get the songs to combine under a single album title. Can someone please help me with this?

Select allt he tracks for that album, right-click > Get Info.
Say yes to changing multiple items.
If the Album or Artist field shows up blank, then they do not all match. Maybe one has a blank space that you can't see, at the end of it.
You might also have to put in the same value for disk 1 of 1 .

One album broken into 3 parts- HeLLLPPPPP.

This is a tricky one to explain and I have had this problem and don't know what to do.
In this example I am going to use the Billy Joel Greatest Hits volume 3. When I initially imported this into my computer I played the disc into my itunes. This disc has a total of 17 songs. If I view my album in the middle group list, I see three billy joel greatest hits albums. The first one contains songs 1-3 The second one has song 4 and is missing the cover art, and the third one has songs 5-17.
This has also happened when I have purchased albums directly on itunes.
Am I making sense?
Any idea on how to correct this problem?
If my itunes file is corrupt is there a way to complete rebuild it so that this album is under one complete album and all art is there?

That's one part of what you need to do. The other part is that you need to tell iTunes that the album is a compilation. In the "Multiple Item Information" popup you get when you select Get Info on multiple items, the first control on the bottom is "Compilation". You want that to be "Yes" for your compilations.
That makes iTunes put the album in the Compilations folder (if you let iTunes organize your library), and treat it as an album by the special "Various Artists"
As someone else said, the "Group compilations when browsing" only affects the three-column browser. I personally don't like that. When I look at the Artist column, I want to be able to see all the artists, and to click on "Holly Cole" and get all the Holly Cole tracks, including the ones on Compilation albums. So I leave "Group compilations when browsing" unchecked. On the other hand, I don't want to see "Stockings by the Fire" 16 separate times in the "grouped with artwork" or coverflow views of the main music list. To get all the songs in a compilation grouped together in that view, click on the "Album" column heading until it reads "Album by Artist." In that mode, all compilation albums appear at the bottom of the list.

One music album fragments into many. How to prevent?

(This is a problem that happens when I use my preferred method of viewing albums, "show items in a list, grid or with cover flow)
When I import a single album which is a 2 or 3 CD set onto i-tunes, it shows each CD as a separate album, even though they're all part of the same album. When I try to drag the second or third album into the first, so as to merge them, I am unable. So, for example, I have three YES albums showing on itunes, which are in fact just one album consisting of three cds.
Even more annoying is "Johnny Cash at Madison Square Garden." It's a single CD with only about 14 songs, but because some songs are listed as by "Johnny Cash," others by "Johnny Cash and the Carter Family," and etc., it has broken up one album into four little albums. Two of the "albums" only have one song each.
Is there anyway to make iTunes understand that a double cd album, or a single album with a few variant performers, are in fact just one album? Can I merge them so each album really looks just like one album, not like many?
Thanks

When ever enter the date start date up to next year same date between the days divided into 8 parts

when ever enter the date start date up to next year same date between the days divided into 8 parts
Q1.1 (YYYY) = 1st half of Quarter 1 for year YYYY
Q1.2 (YYYY) = 2nd half of Quarter1 for year YYYY
Q2.1 (YYYY) = 1st half of Quarter 2 for year YYYY
Q2.2 (YYYY) = 2nd half of Quarter 2 for year YYYY
Q3.1 (YYYY) = 1st half of Quarter 3 for year YYYY
Q3.2 (YYYY) = 2nd half of QuarterQ3 for year YYYY
Q4.1 (YYYY) = 1st half of Quarter 4 for year YYYY
Q4.2 (YYYY) = 2nd half of Quarter 4 for year YYYY
Here YYYY depicts the year.
e.g. Q1.2 (2014) depicts the 2nd half of Quarter 1 for year 2014.
The description of these values are explained below.
The table below provides the description about each value:
Quarter     Quarter Range      Start Date
Q1.1      1 Jan - 15 Feb         1st Jan
Q1.2      16 Feb-31 Mar         16th Feb
Q2.1      1 Apr- 15 May          1st Apr
Q2.2      16 May-30 June       16th May
Q3.1      1 Jul-15 Aug             1th Jul
Q3.2      16 Aug -30 Sep       16th Aug
Q4.1      1 Oct -15 Nov           1st Oct
Q4.2      16 Nov – 31 Dec      16th Nov
The dropdown values in time window needs to be updated as per date entered by the user in the Audit Plan start date and
should display the next four Quarter (each divided in 2 half i.e. Eight values ) along with the year from the selected Audit plan start date.
for eg. If the Plan start date is given as August 10 2013 then the Time window will display the following options:
Q3.2 (2013)
Q 4.1 (2013)
Q 4.2 (2013)
Q 1.1 (2014)
Q1.2 (2014)
Q2.1 (2014)
Q 2.2 (2014)
Q 3.1 (2014)
You can refer to the Table above and look that 10 Aug 2013 falls under the Q3.1 so Time window will display the next next 8 half Quarters ( Total 4 Quarter) till Q 3.1 for the year 2014.

One-item PO into many invoices

Hi,
a customer would like the functionality of splitting the PO (with one item line) into several invoices.
Is this at all possible via partial invoicing?
Sincerely
Ryan

Dear,
You mean to say one PO with Many Invoices,
if my assumption is right yes you can receive many invoices for 1 item

Split one song file into 3 parts?

I have a Damien Rice song (Eskimo) that is 3 songs with lots of silence between them all in one track. Is there any way to split the song/file into 3 parts/tracks so that I can have the 3 pieces as separate tracks?
thanks for any suggestions.

Yes. In the full-length file set the stop and start times, by right-clicking on the track and then "Get Info" > "Options." Then "OK." Then right click on the track and select "Convert Selection to XX" and it will create a new shorter file in your preferred import format.
Do this three times to get the 3 short versions that you want.

Turning one long clip into many

I'm new to I-Movie. I'm trying to edit several 20-minute mpeg4 files into one 10-minute movie. I need bits and pieces of each file. Must I import the same long files again and again into the clip pane, finding and marking the little bit that I want and deleting the rest over and over? Or is there a way to import the file once and to break it into many parcels (clips) from there?
Thanks much.

Hi, Karsten,
Thanks for your reply! As you suggested, I'm draggin & droppin with the control key pressed but there's no changing mouse cursor and while the whole clip is falling into the timeline it's disappearing from the clippane.
Plan B sounds intriguing, but I'm apparently not executing it correctly. Apple T is the shortcut for splitting the clip, right? Does this mean I can split one clip again and again into different sections? Can I then assemble these sections on the clip pane in the correct order with other split clips from my other files?
Thanks for your patience...

One album split into three

Some of my cds are broken up into pieces. It split Lady Gaga's The Fame into three parts, and the Fame Monster into three parts. I try to drag them together, and it doesn't work. The cd info is exactly the same. There is absolutely no reason for them to be separate, yet they are. Why is it being so dumb? I seriously want to throw my computer at the wall.

One album split into 2 separate files in iTunes?

I downloaded Fergie's "Glamorous", and "Fergie" (the artist) shows up twice in my artist list. The first listing contains 10 tracks of the album, and the second listing contains the remaining 3 tracks.
I've gone into "Get Info" and have changed all 13 tracks so that they have the same information, but when I synch my iPod, the 2 files don't merge.
What do I have to do? Thanks.

So the Artist section says Asher Roth, the Album Artist - Asher Roth & Keri Hilson.
That's definitely the wrong way around... *Album Artist* should be the same for all tracks of the album, i.e. it is the name of the Artist that released the Album. Individual tracks may have different performers which can be recorded in the Artist field. Provided you are placing the music on a device such as iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch that runs firmware that works with the *Album Artist* field then all will be fine. If, like me, you also have iPod Classics, then you need to use the more complicated workarounds I give in that article or, of course, just live with things the way they are.
Unfortuanately we have the software that Apple have given us, which in turn relies on data in the Gracenote database. Neither are perfect but if you want a neat & tidy library then it can be achieved with a little effort. I pretty much licked my library into shape by hand but these days I also use scripts to perform repetitive tasks. Perhaps Doug's Scripts has something useful (How about Tag This, Tag That which would let you swap Artist<=>Album Artist?) or you could roll your own.

Why is an album broken into parts on my iPhone

Why is it that some albums are broken into parts? e.g. Badi Assad-Wonderland. When I try to sort my library on my iPhone, and play the album, it is broken into many parts, and not just if there is an accompanying artist?

That page is there in case you want ot move apps to a separate page than the ones which already exist. It is normal.

How do I make songs become one album?

I recently bought +The Essential Joshua Bell+ on iTunes. When I view my music by artists, the Joshua Bell album appears numerous times when in cover flow. How do I fix this so the whole album is together?
P.S. Some songs are made by multiple artists.

*HowTo: Grouping Tracks Into Albums*
Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your iTunes library.
*Use an album friendly view*
iTunes will let you sort music on many columns, some of which are unlikely to group albums together or put the tracks in their normal order. The most useful order for editing the library is probably *Album by Artist*. If you're not already there, select the list view and click on the column heading for Artist until it reads Album by Artist.
*One cover, too many tracks*
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover or append different numbers of spaces for each different album. Somewhat oddly, setting different values for Sort Album doesn't work.
*Album not with others by same artist*
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
*One album, too many covers*
For true compilations, where each track is by a different artist, the answer is to set the compilation flag to true and enable the iTunes preference to *Group compilations when browsing*. Otherwise tracks which list guest artists will be treated as separate items. Filling in the Album Artist field is enough to link things in iTunes. Sadly, however, the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums so this is only a partial solution. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate this is not part of the actual song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
*One album, still too many covers*
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
*Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!*
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading articles (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
*One cover for multi-disc album*
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track (so that no two tracks ever have the same number) until I reach disc 1. BTW You can still give the individual discs different artwork should it be relevant so that the correct artwork will be displayed as the album progresses.
*One artist, many names*
With some artists, particularly classical composers, you should be aware of alternative representations of their names. E.g. 2Pac vs. Tupac. The menus will work best if for each artist you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. For classical music I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.

Split one long sequence to many small sequences

a long sequence can be divided into many small ?
Se picture:

It looks like you want to end up with four, smaller sequences.
Make four copies of your pictured 'master sequence',
then delete the unwanted sections in each of the four copies.

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.
For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

How could I put many song in only one album view?

I saved a lot of folders with many songs from my PC to my laptop. When I put all of these songs into my Music Library, It happens that many songs of the same album appears as if they were separated albmus, so my cover flow view has many "albums" that are only one song.
How can I Put these songs together again?
Thanks a lot
