Play/list order within "compilation" Album

I have a large number of "compilation" albums that I have created by converting selected songs from analog sources (LP's, Cassette, reel-to-reel). I can control the order of songs in these compiliation albums by adjusting the track numbers in the info section of iTunes.
HOWEVER, when I later separately import a song and want to add it to a compilation album already on iTunes the additional newly imported song (after filling in the song title, artist name, compilation album namem genre, and the track number I wish the new song to be) always gets put in at the beginning of the compilation album - despite the track number I give to it.
Anyone have any idea how I get get the songs into the order I want?
Any thoughts and advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you for the response. The problem was NOT directed related to the view in iTunes. It had to do with how iTunes perceived a particular song when it was imported separately from other songs but when the information is manually filled in to make it part of a compilation album. Getting the songs in the desired order should have been as easy as changing the track numbers in "info". That did not work and my original question was "why"?
I have stumbled upon an answer (not sure where my inspiration came from). If, in a compilation album, you: 1) check the box that says compilation, and 2)manually put in the track numbers AND 3) PUT THE ALBUM ARTIST AS "VARIOUS", it all works and the list on iTunes and the play order (even without using a playlist) is in the order I designate.
Why the word "Various" should be a magic word that allows this all fall into place is beyond me - but in the back of my mind I remember seeing (don't know where) that in a compilation album the "album artist" field should be filled in with "Various". Now that I know the answer a search on the word "Various" or "compilation" will probably turn up the answer somewhere on the Apple support site of in a forum.

  • Getting songs to play in order on an album

    OK, I am hoping someone has a solution to this problem. While I usually enjoy listening to sngs in shuffle mode, occasionally I will want to listen to an album with the songs in the order in which they appear on the album. However, I have not been able to get my iPod to play the songs of an album in the correct order. I have looked at some of the threads dealing with this issue here and here is what I have tried:
    I made a playlist out of the album and then went into "Get Info" and made sure that each song was correctly numbered. Then I transferred the playlist to my iPod. Songs are correctly numbered on the list but still do not play in the correct order on the iPod.
    What am I missing here?

    Never mind. I finally figured it out. For anyone else who has this issue, you have to click on Settings in your iPod from the main menu and then turn Shuffle off.

  • IPod not listing artist from compilation album

    I have had my experience w/ Apple products and iPods before and this has NEVER happened to me ever. I just got a new-ish iPod classic from someone else and when I synced all my music from my iTunes to my iPod, ONE of the artists is NOT listed under "artists". I then proceeded to find the artist using other methods, such as albums, and I found the album, however, underneath it it said "Various artists". I then checked "various artists" under artists and I didn't find that either. Everything is perfect on my iTunes though... the band and songs are listed in alphabetical order like they normally should and nothing is missing. But it's just when I go to my iPod to look for that particular band I don't even see the name!
    Anyone know what's going on? I checked and looked for everything several times; I know I don't have bad eyesight lol.
    Message was edited by: Host <changed title for clarity>

    It could be that you have imported this CD into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artist won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
    To check, highlight the tracks on the CD in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a song info window, and by selecting "options" you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
    If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.

  • Songs from same album not listing as within one album

    Okay, here's a problem that's kind of strange. I already owned an album, bought on CD, that I have imported into iTunes. I later wanted to make one of the songs into a ringtone for the iPhone, which you can only do with stuff bought from iTunes, so I purchased the song, figuring I would just add it into the album. I changed all of the information to be the exact same between the ones I'd imported and this song from iTunes, and it sorts correctly when sorted by "Artist," but if sorted by "Album by Artist," it moves the downloaded song to being from another album, though it's the exact same, and it Coverflow it also lists them as two seperate albums though they are not.
    Is there a way to get iTunes to recognize that these tracks are from the same album or is this just an anoyance I will have to deal with?
    Thanks.

    In short, there are two possibilities: either you didn't actually get the information identical, or iTunes is slightly confused. Both happen to me pretty regularly.
    If you have iTunes keeping your music organized, there's an easy check: pick one of the songs, right click, select Show In Finder. Is your new purchased song in the same folder as the CD you imported? If not, the information is definitely different. The most recent time this happened to me, the imported CD had the "Compilation" box checked.
    Next thing: select all of the songs from the album - the imported CD and the purchased song. Right click one of them, select Get Info (or choose Get Info from the File menu). The artist, album artist (if there is one), and the album title, should all be showing. If not, it means that one of those values isn't actually the same for all the tracks.
    After that's all fixed up, it's time to blame iTunes. In that case, make a small change to the artist, album artist, and album name. I just add an X to the end of the name. Click OK, and hopefully now the tracks will all be grouped the way you expect. Get Info again and put the names back the way they belong.
    Good luck!

  • Cannot play one song within an album (others play fine).

    Today, I downloaded an album from the iTunes stores. I was able to play all but one song. For the one song that would not play, a message came up saying that I needed to authorize this computer. I followed the instructions - then received a message that said that this computer was already authorized (which I already knew) to play all the songs. Hence, I'm not sure why the one song will not play, yet all the other songs in the album played just fine.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Ray T.

    That suggests that the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Track order within an album

    I've got one of Dane Cook's albums on my itunes and of the 24 tracks, there are 3 that are out of order. I can't seem to put them back in order. If I create a playlist I know that I can order them any way I want, but I want them to be in order in the library. Any ideas?

    This is similar to me, I have 24 tracks and tracks 15, 18, and 23 each come before number 1. Then they all fall in order (minus those three of course). I've tried making it read "track 1 of 24" and so forth, and I've tried without the overall track number.
    I have selected all of the tracks to ensure that the artists name, and album name, etc were all exactly the same as well.
    Glad to know that I am not the only one with this problem.

  • Play albums in order within itunes

    Overnight our itunes has decided to play one track from an album and then move to an artist beginning with the next letter in the alphabet instead of playing the next song on the album selected. We have not selected party shuffle or anything. Please can anyone advise as its driving us mad! Many thanks.

    1. Choices... Restore the iPod back to factory settings. If you've opted for manual syncing, just select everything on the iPod & delete. If you're auto-syncing (which I'd recommend), make any changes you want to in iTunes, then sync. All the changes will be updated to the iPod. If you make use of the functions to *Sync selected playlists* and *Sync checked tracks only* you can achieve fine control over what goes onto the iPod while ensuring that it's always updated with any tweaks you make to tag info.
    2. Yes... assuming you're not using shuffle.
    3. It should do... Very occasionaly I've had to uncheck, apply & recheck this option to fix gaps in gapless albums.
    4. It might just time out before the wireless connection responds. Try connecting to your web browser before inserting your CD.

  • Sort order when using "Album by Artist/Year" album list view

    In iTunes 10, I seem to have lost the sorting I've been using for the past 5 years at least. I use the "Album List" view, and have the album artwork showing to the left of the songs. I see the new "Album by Artist/Year" sort option in the album artwork column, and that is how I would like it to sort. However, now the album are arranged by artist, and within the artist by the year they were released as tagged in the info for each song. I want the newest albums at the top, and I cannot figure out how to make it sort that way. What do I need to do? Basically I want it in descending order by release date, but still sorted by album.

    It appears they are, although I refuse to believe this is the accepted behaviour - has no one else complained about this?
    It could simply be a weakness is the way this was all designed. If you look at the information Gracenote uses, it's not unusual for all tracks on a 60's compilation album to be incorrectly listed as the same year, often the year the compilation was released. The same thing tends to happen with re-issued albums. That's down to whoever inputs the information into Gracenote for that album, often a bored record company employee.
    First of all, you could try changing the year for each documentary to the year the album was produced and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you have to decide how to handle it.
    Accept it as it is.
    Change the year for the documentary to the same year as the album and simply kid yourself that it's the correct year. (I'm not being flippant, but if the documentary is all footage from album release year, then "technically", the doumentary is from that 60's year.)
    Leave the year of the documentary track blank, but put the year (2010) into the track's "Comments" field instead.
    Propose a workable solution to Apple via Apple Feedback. (I am being a bit flippant now. Sorry, but you'll be in for a long wait before anything might change.)
    Get Gracenote to change their text fields, get the people who input the information into Gracenote to do so correctly and then get Apple to change iTunes to recognise those changes. (Now I am being very flippant. Good luck with this one!) Oh! And hope Apple never decide to change from Gracenote to someone else!
    Number 2 or 3 are probably your best bet.

  • How do I reorganize the order of songs or tracks within an album?

    How can I permenantly change the order of tracks or songs within an album without creating a playlist for that album?

    If the songs are in a playlist open iTunes then click on the playlist. Click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Right click on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order". Connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the change. If you are updating manually then you connect first and when the iPod appears in the source list carry out the process above directly in the playlist on your iPod. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.
    If the tracks are out of order in the library try this, I found that it works for me. Right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose **Track Number** from the list. Click at the top of this new column to sort it and after that click on the Album column. If you like you can then click on Artist, it will continue to hold the track order as well. Afterwards anything you import should follow this arrangement Artist>Album>Track Number within Album (you can hide the track number column when you've done if you don't want it cluttering up the view)

  • Order of songs on compilation albums

    Hi there!
    I've just started to use iTunes as my mp3-player, and I'm quite satisfied. I really like the grouped with artwork feature. The only thing bothering me is that;
    1.I want my songs in alphabetical order by the artist, but within the artist I want the albums sorted by release-year, not alphabetical. So I was wondering if there were any way of controlling this. This isn't a big deal though.
    2.But my biggest problem is that my compilation albums(soundtracks and what have you not...) are sorted alphabetical after the artists on the album rather than the song number, even though I've checked the box for compilation album. Now, certain of these albums need to be played in the right order for it to make any sense, so could somebody help me here please!? (Oh, by the way; I've named all the songs' "Album Artist" the same as the album and sorted my playlist after that, so I get them all in one group...)

  • Tricks for getting your play list in order.

    I was having trouble with getting my play list right, I couldn't get albums which had tracks that featured more artists than just the original artists to show up as one album. When you order on artist you get a cover image for each different artist. When you order album on artist your albums with 'multiple' artist get shoved to the bottom. After a lot of trial and error I finally got it right. And seeing as a lot of people are having this problem I post this in a new topic.
    I will post in a problem -> solution overview.
    _I can't get albums having 'feat. artist' to show up as one image._
    +Select all songs, go to show info and change the album artist to your preferred one.+
    _I don't want my compilation albums to show up between my other artists numerous times_
    +There are two ways to change this, depending on your preference.+
    +- Set the album as compilation and use album on artist to order. This will move the album to the bottom of the list.+
    +- Set the album artist to where you want it to show up in the list. For example "Hit list 3" will move it between Faithless and John Legend.+
    _I want a specific album to move to the bottom of the list but it has only one artist._
    Set the album to compilation and put a space behind the name of the artist of a track. I-Tunes will think the album has different artists and move it to the bottom with the other multiple artists compilations.
    I hope this was helpful for at least some of you.
    Perhaps this can be a topic where more people post their tips & tricks.

    The issues you describe are a function and set up of the web site and not the trackpad. They want you to use the sites directional arrows and screen re-sizer that they provide on the web page. For those sites and sites that are similar the only option is to play their game and use their tools.

  • HT204266 If I have a play list of various artists and on this list I have two tracks from the same album how can I combine those two tracks to play as one if I am using the shuffle feature?

    An example would be Jackson Browne's "The Load Out" &" Stay".They should play one after the other but in a play
    list on shuffle setting they don't. How do I combine two songs so they play as one in a shuffled playlist

    When I import my music files to iTunes will I be creating new files for every file I import? If the answer is YES; where are those files going to be stored and how much space will they use?
    To begin with you can't manage FLAC in iTunes. The use of iTunes is at this moment limited to WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, AAC and MP3. But that's not a problem because if I understand you correctly you want to organize the MP3-files in iTunes.
    When you import music files you can let iTunes copy all files and put it in an iTunes-media-Folder. You can make the choice in preferences-->tab advanced.
    If you deselect the second blue checkbox (sorry, in Dutch) iTunes won't copy files as you import the files in your library. It will use the files from the place they are on the disk now. So you have a choice. But if you want iTunes to copy them, they will be placed in a folder called iTunesMedia. This is how it placed on your disk.
    All files will be put in one music folder well ordered by artist and albums. If you want to make a backup of all your music you just have to copy the iTunes folder to another disk. You can backup all music at once. How much space they will use depends on the bitrate of the MP3 and whether you add more tagging to it. You can have iTunes add album artwork. That means adding gif or jpg files to your library. Are you using bitrate 320 for your MP3?
    If you tell me I can give you estimates on the disk-space you will need.

  • Why is the track order of my album being played out of order?

    The track order of my album appears correct in iTunes and on my iPod Classic 160 but.......... it plays the tracks out of order. frustrating when listening to stand up comedies.... I checked the "info" of each album and the track listing/order is correct..... help?

    Have you checked your iPod's Settings to make sure the Shuffle setting is set to Off.

  • Compilation Albums are not ordered by track order - by alphabet/artist

    This is something I just noticed with iTunes that I would like to have fixed if possible. I've ripped a good handful of compilation albums onto my computer, and when I put them into iTunes, and order the songs by album, all of the differing artists on a certain album are in alphabetical order. Meaning, the track order is set not as track 1, track 2, track 3, etc. Instead, it's set up by artist, by alphabet. For example, Animosity will be first, and Zebrahead will be last...and these aren't in the correct order of the album! I don't know if there is a fix for this, but if there is, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks.

    *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. 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*
    Sadly the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums which causes problems when some tracks list guest artists. 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.

  • How do i play a list of ten complete albums?

    I want to listen to my music the way the production engineer put it together in complete albulms, How do I do this in Itunes? Thie is the biggest thing I miss about music match.
    Thanks in advance.

    If I go by your subject title; "how do (I) play a list of ten complete albums", then the answer is put each album into the same Playlist, in the order you want them to play, and then play the list without using shuffle.
    However, if I look at the body of your thread;
    survey89 wrote:
    I want to listen to my music the way the production engineer put it together in complete albulms,
    that suggests that you are simply referring to one album at a time, and that my previous answer would not in fact address your issue.
    So, even though I'm still smarting from the bashing I had after helping someone else with that question, I'll point you to the thread. The subject title is
    Is there any way whatsoever to listen to an album exactly as it was recorded without it inserting gaps between the tracks, crossfading, or anything else?
