Playing songs together

Hi:
Some songs need to be heard as a unit and in order. I've tried melding songs together in other programs, but it creates "blips" at the joins. Is there a way to have songs in iTunes recognized as one song, so that, for example, you could play Abbey Road Side 2 as if it were one song.
If it's not possible, how does one send a suggestion to the software designers to add this functionality?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

You can join tracks in iTunes when ripping a CD. If you have the CD, rerip the tunes and under Advanced select Join CD tracks. Note that this cannot be done to already ripped tracks or to iTunes Store purchases.

Random playing, but keeping certain songs together

Is it possible to have certain songs remain together (like Queen's "We Will Rock You" with "We Are The Champions") when playing in a random order?
iTunes plays songs with a cross fade, can the iPod play the songs the same way?

As Chris said, you can re-rip or join the tracks. You can also assign the same Group field to both tracks and select "Shuffle Groupings" in preferences, though I'm not sure this will carry over to the iPod.

Link 2 songs together?

Does anyone know if it is possible to link 2 songs together so they play as one song? ie Zepplin's Heartbreaker/livin lovin maid

You could use "Join CD Tracks" from the Advanced menu when you are importing: Adding Songs from CDs to your Library

Locking songs together...taking away the pause that isn't on the recording

How do you make an album such as "The Wall or "Abbey Road" play without the skips between them on an Ipod..... I so love to hear these things in their entirety.
Also, is there a way to lock two song together? You know.... two songs that belong together that will always get separated if played in the random mode. Think Rush 2112.... Overture and Syrinx?
Thanks that anyone can help.

have a look @ this script.

Tie two songs together

I'd like to be able to tie two songs together so they always play back to back, yet in a complete shuffle mode. For instance Van Halen's Eruption / You Really Got Me Down. They appear as separate songs on the CD, so they play randomly on the shuffle. Is there a way to tie pairs of songs together?
Thanks

You can join tracks when importing from the CD. Insert your CD highlight the songs you want to join and choose "Join CD Tracks" from the Advanced menu and import: Adding songs from CDs to your library

Re-attaching songs together

I'm sure this question has been answered before, but I can't seem to find the answer...
When one imports a CD to iTunes, every song is imported seperately and independantly. Yet, many songs are suites to one another. Shawn Phillips' "Second contribution" comes to mind: the entire side A is a suite of songs that form a 20 minute string.
When one plays this album in random mode, iTunes does just that. However, is it possible to attach songs together so they can be played in random mode by iTunes as one suite as envisioned by the artist?
Example 2: On Genesis' "Selling England by the Pound", the song 'Aisle of Plenty' is the logical ending of 'The Cinema Show'. How do I re-string those songs so they can still be played one after another, in the proper order?

When importing a CD highlight the tracks you want to join together and then go to the Advanced menu and click on Join Tracks Together. This will import them as one track. Now when you shuffle they will always play in the proper order. If you already ripped the CD you might want to check out Doug's iTunes Scripts at

I'm sure its called track splicer or something like that.

Can you combine ('glue') parts of one song together

There are many artist who cut their songs in more parts. Those parts are separate files, so when you play shuffle mode, you first hear one part of that specific song, than other songs, then another part of the song, then other songs, then again a part of that 'cut' song etc, etc.
Disadvantage is that those parts end suddenly (only if played without shuffle) and you 'miss' the next part.
Is there a way in iTunes to 'glue' those parts of that song together?

Put the CD in, when it shows on itunes highlight the tracks you want joint by holding the "Ctrl" key and click ing the songs you want. If you want the whole album joint, just goto edit>select all. Now goto advanced>Join CD Tracks and then hit the "Import" button in the top right corner

Linking songs together

i was wondering if there was a way to link songs together so when playing music in shuffle mode i can set certain songs to play together before moving on to another random song. basically how can i make 2 or 3 songs play as if they were 1 song. for example, Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall Pt1" "The Happiest Days of our Lives" & "Another Brick in the Wall Pt2" is sort of a trilogy of songs that should be played in their respective order one after the other. However when playing in shuffle mode, it will randomly select songs and never plays them in order or one after the other. How can i make it so iTunes thinks the three songs are actually just one, and therefore always plays them together and in order. I have other songs that i'd like to do this with as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, GL

With iTunes you can only do this while ripping from a CD. (See the option in the "Advanced" menu.) For existing files you'd have to use some other application.

Looping songs together for playlist

Is there an option to loop songs together when I make a playlist? I'd like the songs to fade right into each other!! I'd appreciate any help by knowledgeable owners!

What you are seeking is gapless or crossfaded playback.
In short... the iPod does not support gapless or crossfaded playback.
If you want to eliminate the gaps, one workaround is to join the individual tracks together, and play them as one single track. You can do this by reimporting the CD into iTunes using the 'Join CD Tracks' feature.
See Step 3 in this article:

If you'd like to send feedback to Apple to ask that they include gapless or crossfaded playback as a feature in future revisions of the iPod firmware, you can do so on this feedback page.

How can I play songs alphabetically and not shuffled?

My new Ipod Nano only plays songs in shuffle mode, even when I turn the "shake to shuffle" option to "off"
I just want to play them alphabetically, any suggestions?

I just double-checked my Nano, which is also new, and with the Shake to Shuffle turned off, if I just start playing from the "Songs" option , it plays in alphabetical order. Is that what you are doing?

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order. This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes. If I just hit play, this doesnt happen. As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order. Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it. When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example). But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason. Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening. Any thoughts?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
