Podcast appearing as an Album

How can I stop my podcasts from appearing in my iPod Music>Albums list?

Problem resolved. Simply had to highlight each song, select "File", "Get Info", then add the album title in the "Album" field. Re-sync'ed I-Pod, and all is as ti should be.

Podcasts appear in artists, albums and song menus

Hello,
I am using iTunes 7.1.0.59 on WinXP Pro. I purchased a 30GB video iPod (2nd generation of this model) a few days ago. The problem is that all the podcasts I have synced to my iPod appear in music menus such as artists, albums and songs. For example the songs list includes podcasts as well as all the songs. This is very annoying to have different podcasts appears in each of these menus. Surely this is not be design.
I have done Google searches and no one else seems to have this problem. I think it might be an iTunes 7 issue as I never recall seeing this problem with iTunes 6 on my partner's 1st generation 30GB video iPod.
I have not been able to find anything in the menu or online Apple .PDFs which explain this behaviour.
Can anyone help me to fix this problem?
Thanks to all.

Found a fix for this. Another forum user found it.
Click on your iPod on the left column in iTunes. Click the podcast tab (at the top of the main window) and change the sync option to "all podcasts". Re-sync your iPod and your podcasts should show up in the right place.
Hope this helps. So unintuitive it makes me mad, but hey.

Remove podcasts from Artist and Album list

It makes it difficult to select a particular artist if the large number of podcasts that are subscribed appear in the Artist and Album list. The way files are organized in iTunes this is not a problem- but in iPod it is a hassle. Is it possible to remove podcasts appearing in the Artist and Album list in iPod?

NO... I'm having the same issues and a quick search of the web reveals that Podcasts in 11.1 is COMPLEATLY BROKEN!!!
I've spent two days trying to fix this issue even including deleting all of my podcasts and restoring from the App Store and nothing works!!!

Multiple copies of podcasts appear in iTunes on my computer, but correctly on my iPhone 4S. How do eliminate multiple copies in iTunes on my PC?

Hi AkMat.
Have you actually opened these files to see what they are yet? The few Apps I've downloaded (not from iTunes) typically come with a few files. The actual app, the instructions/help/TOU and sometimes an uninstall.

When I download a CD to iTunes, some CD's appear as separate albums. How can I correct this?

When I download a CD to iTunes, some CD's appear as separate albums. How can I correct this?
for some reason iTunes appears to believe some tracts are from a separate album. For instance, one recently released Rod Stewart CD HAS 8 tracts on one album and the remaining two tracts on two separate albums, all albums are called the correct album name?

If your CD has tracks with different artists, or if there are differences in how the artist field is filled in for the different tracks, then you can fix this by identifying the disc as a 'compilation' CD.
Select all of the tracks in the CD, then 'get info' (control-I), and go to 'Options'. Select 'yes' for 'Part of a compilation'. That should fix the problem.

Is there a way of "merging" songs in iTunes. Several times, I have downloaded from the Internet, or recorded from CDs, then found the tracks broken up to appear as separate "Albums". I have a 5-movement symphony, which appears as 5 separate songs?

Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

?? appear on My Album/Photo Pages

I have 2 ?? appear on my Album and photo pages. When I visit the published site, they aren't there, but show up when I view online. I've tried for a week to figure out the glitch, but haven't found it. What am I missing? It's at: http://www.ohlsenclayworks.com/Index/Gallery/Gallery.html
Thanks

Are you publishing to .Mac or to a non .Mac server? It may be a Unicode issue if it's a non .Mac server. I don't know enough about that particular issue but a search of this forum for unicode may get you to some topics where it's discussed.
It appears to be some character that's been added that is not supported. Maybe some character in a text box that you didn't know you created and appears invisible in iWeb. It appears in the code as: class="bumper">��.
Do a select all in iWeb for the page and see if there are any items in the vicinity of where those characters are displayed online.

Podcasts appear in Songs section as well

Hiya, does anyone know how to stop my podcasts appearing in my songs section also? They used not do this but then a while ago (maybe after an update?) they started to appear. I mainly use shuffle, so is a bit of a pain when a podcast kicks in.
Cheers.

Okay.
In iTunes 5, when you click on library, you have some 'radio' buttons across the top, just above the column titles . . . they are: All, Music, Audiobooks, Podcasts, Videos, Booklets . . .
When "All" is selected, you get it all. What you need to do is select "Music" and you'll see JUST your music. IMHO, it's much easier to see what you want with this method of keeping the library.

Why are albums that have various artists appearing as separate albums for each track?

Check the tags via the info panel on each system.
You may see that one version has settings for 'Disk x of y' disks.
There are other fields that should be compared too, like 'grouping'. You also need to be certain the playlist (or the Library) are sorted by the same criteria e.g. by 'album' is different to 'album by artist' etc. That can cause unexpected differences in the way it displays.
I suspect match has given you iTunes copies of the files with Apple's own metadata whilst your originals are from CD with your custom tags.

HT1660 How do i get all the songs from 1 album to appear as 1 album instead of 3 albums because they feature guest artists

How do i get all the songs from 1 album to appear as 1 album instead of 3 albums because 2 of the songs feature guest artists in my itunes library?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Podcasts appear in music library as well as podcast list

So, I don't know why, but sometimes, and now constantly, my iTunes and iPod get the podcasts appearing in the library, with the actuacl name of the song. How can I stop this?

Ghost podcasts appearing on smart playlist

When I create a smart playlist that should only have podcasts, a "ghost" podcasts appear then disappears when I am updating my podcasts subscriptions. I've tried downloading the podcast again and then deleting it, but it keeps coming back. I've also searched through my library, and these podcasts do no t exists. Please note that I am not using the Podcasts app.
Here is a screenshot of the issue

I tried that and it worked. I already had the media kind as podcast and match only checked items set for the podcast. Your post helped in regards to unchecking the podcasts. I noticed that in the playlist that the podcasts that are checked that are actually not checked had the iCloud download symbol. I deleted all that had the iCloud download symbol and that took care of it.
Thanks for your help!!!

Podcasts appearing in music

I have the latest version of iTune and an iPod Nano 2nd gen. I find it very annoying that my unplayed podcasts appear in the song list on my iPod, instead of only in the podcast list. Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

Cannot delete.

I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

This sounds similar to the problem where new purchases will appear in playlists, but not the main music source, suggesting that iTunes is making a hash of the indexes. Somewhat bizarrely the solution for that one seems to be to download the current free Single of the Week, maybe it will help you too.
