[Profile] Choose own 'Top 5 Artists' & 'Top 5 Albums'

In addition to recently played artists and public playlists, include a "favorites" panel/tab that shows the user's top 5 artists and top 5 albums (think High Fidelity style). And these would not be automatically generated by what they've been listening to the most lately - the user would be able to personally select and change their top fives to reflect not only what they're digging right now, but also their tried and true all-time favorites.
I think this would make user profile pages a better reflection of users' tastes, because recently played artists and public playlists provide are somewhat limited.

Hey there!
Great suggestion. However, there is already a post about this, so head over there and give it your Kudos and comments.

How do I remove all traces of 'album'? I do not want artwork, blank place holders, titles or artists sorted by album? I just want my music listed by title, artist or genre.

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Artist vs. Album Artist in iTunes 11

When I click on "Artists," my music is displayed by "Album Arist" (IMHO, the most useless category in the song info window). This is especially problematic for classical music, where sometimes the performer/ensemble/conductor is listed as Album Artist, but also for soundtracks, etc, where many of the songs have "various artists" listed as Album Artist.
I have tried nulling (is that a word?) the Album Arist field from all of my songs, but iTunes keeps putting it back in there without asking me (this has been a problem with all iTunes versions I have ever used -- it overwrites info that I enter manually -- but that's a topic for another discussion).
How do I get iTunes to display by Arist, and NOT by Album Artist?
Thanks for any helpo.

Select an album or two of tracks that won't behave, right-click and use Convert > ID3 Tags > None, repeat at least twice, then use Convert > ID3 Tags > ID3v2.3. You will need to reapply artwork. If you use my CreateFolderArt script first the artwork should still be in the folder, ready to be reinserted by the script after you've cleaned the tags. Tips on how to use the scripts at the top of the scripts page.
For myself I treat the composer of classical music as the Artist/Album Artist. For general tips on getting stuff sorted in iTunes see Grouping tracks into albums.

Group Different Albums by the Same Artist under one Album Cover

I've read many posts regarding grouping tracks by different artists into one album, but none dealing with grouping tracks by one artist together from different album titles. An example of this would be classical pieces that are divided into different acts, or more recently, the new Green Day album "21st Century Breakdown," which also divides the album into "acts." Another example of this situation could be a box set by a particular artist, for instance an Eagles box set that contains 3 discs of differing titles (disc one: Eagles, disc two: Desperado, disc three: Live) in which case the three CDs are all essentially part of the same album.
I know the grouping field can be utilized to tag all the CDs within the same set to keep them together; however, I have not been able to use this feature to group albums such as those mentioned above together under one album art in the grid or in the coverflow view. It looks rather silly when there are 3 or 4 of the same album cover in a row in the grid or the coverflow.
The best way I could think to differentiate the different acts on an album or CDs in a set was to group the songs in their own folder and change the title of the album tag to reflect which act (or CD) those particular tracks covered. While this works in the list view to keep the tracks in order, it does not allow me to view the album as a “whole” using the coverflow view. It seems the only way to merge differently tagged tracks is if the ALBUM title is the same even if there are multiple artists. I’ve tried using the grouping, sorting, and “part of a compilation” options with no success. Is there any way to merge these tracks under one album art while retaining the different album names?

Adding slightly to the previous post I would suggest that you give each disc of the set an appropriate disc no., e.g. Discs 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 for Eagles, Desperado & Live respectively in your Eagles Box Set. Record the individual disc titles in the Comments or Grouping field, then change the Album title for all three discs to something appropriate like "Eagles Box Set". The three discs will collapse into one cover and play in sequence. If marking the transition from one disc to another matters you could, for example, simply add the album name in brackets to the first track of each album. You could use curly brackets to distinguish this from other types of track comment. For more organizational tips see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.
The alternative approach for box sets which simply repackage a number of original albums together is to find the original artwork for each album.

Issue with artists with one album an non album tracks.

Here is my issue:
on the ipod I should see this:
music > artists > THE ARTIST > All or Album1
That's the logical order, but this is what my iPod does
music > artists > THE ARTIST > Album1
I know I have tracks that are not a part of Album1 ( I see them when I view the whole song listing). My ipod skips the screen where I could normally choose All or Album1. Everything works fine if I have more than one album, but for these artists with one album and a few non album tracks its not right.
Sorry if this is posted elsewhere. It's and odd request and wasn't sure how to search for it.

If no information is entered into the album field for the singles of a given artist, enter [Assorted Singles] or just [Singles] I use the [ so that all I have to do is hit that key and the entry is automatically completed by iTunes. It treats it as an album title. With any singles I have labeled for an artist in that way they show up under "ALL" as well as [Assorted Singles] for the artist.

Why can't we go from 'genres' to 'artist' and then 'albums' in ipod for ipad?

The Ipod App on Ipad2 lets you go from 'artists' to their albums and songs. You can see a list of all songs sorted by albums for each artist.
When you sort by 'genres' you only get thumbnails of genres (instead of a list) which rotate to show songs directly.
I'd like to get the same interface then iTunes on Mac with the navigation columns to go from genres to artists to albums and then songs.
Is that possible?
Thanks

Same here. It's a very clumsy UI. On Mac, iPod, iPhone, it's always been genre-artist-album, as it should be. For some bizarre reason apple decided to do away with that logical UI convention on the iPad only. But who wants a list of hundreds of "songs" after clicking a genre. What makes it worse is that they aren't even grouped by album or collection, but in alphabetical order. What? Who chooses/seeks music by what letter a song starts with? I don't even know the names of most of the "songs" I have because I listen mostly to jazz and classical. I sure hope they get a different UI person or team on the Music app for iPad.

Is there a way of making my iPod's "cover flow" sort in the same way the software can . Artist -- Album by Year . It only seems to do Artist -- by Alphabetical Album . I want it look like it does on the PC .

Is there a way to make the "cover flow" on the iPod match the sort style that I use on the software . I go with Artist -- Album by Release Year . But the ipod seems to only do Artist -- Alphabetical by Album , and then there are a handful of albums oddly out of place . Can it be done ?

Ottonomy, here's what to do.
Connect your iPhone to your computer and open the iPhone's playlist in an iTunes window. Copy/Paste the entire playlist into a new(!) playlist in iTunes, not on your iPhone. Then resort the playlist. After you sort it, Copy/Paste it to a new(!) playlist on your iPhone. Now delete the old playlist on your iPhone and rename the new playlist the name you want it to be (probably the same name as the old playlist).
The downside to this method is that you have to do it every time you add a song to the playlist. Unfortunately, I don't think there's another way.

HT1473 If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?

Other details:
First album/s- Dookie (Green Day), american idiot (green day)
and 21st century breakdown (green day)
Album with same songs in it- international super hits (green day)

If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?
Yes.
The album which the song has been listed under (on the song's page) is listed in your library under that album. The song is then removed automatically from the first album
No it's not.
Purchasing a new song or album will not affect any other song or album in your library.
In the case of the two albums you mention, if you purchase them both, you will have the same song (different copies) in both albums.

Music app shows unknown artist for compilation albums

I just submitted a bug report to Apple, though I can't believe I am the only person with this issue.
Since iOS7 (I am currently on iOS7.0.4) I have noticed that the music app (along with many many other issues) will no longer display the artist for compilation albums that I have. In iTunes the artist on the compilation is clearly defined but in iOS7 the Music app simply states "unknown artist".
Surely I am not the only one with this issue?

I am very annoyed by this bug too, I have a lot of compilation albums and soundtracks with lots of differents artists, and my library is super organized in iTunes, with the “Album artist” field empty and the “Part of a compilation” checkbox enabled, and it shows the compilations as a “Various Artists” album.
But when I tried to download through iTunes Match in my iPhone 5C some few songs from those albums today, I found out that the music app has this bug that makes almost all of the compilation albums appear within this “UNKNOWN ARTIST” category under the artists tab.
It is very annoying and I hope Apple fixes this, cuz it is driving me crazy.

How do i print a list of albums i have on itunes? i don't want individual artists, just the album

the problem as far as i can see is that if i have an album of say ministry of sound with 48 + artists, itunes wants to print the album with each individual artist listed under. So instead of Ministry of sound volume 1, i get Ministry of sound volume 1 (Moby), Ministry of sound volume 1 (Air), etc etc. All i want is Ministry of sound volume , then Ministry of sound volume 2 etc. This also happens if for example i print Aarron Nevile Best of. if he is in collaboration with another artist i get Aarron Nevile and Linda Ronstadt. THERE MUST BE AN EASY WAY!!!!! it also cuts down on the number of trees i'm using.....

Me again. I'v ejust discovered that because itunes forces me to print each individual song, I am up for 500+ pages. This is a bloody joke. All i want is to print the artist and the album. Nothing else. No individual songs, no artist collabartions. Just the album and artist. HELP!!!!

Sort Artist and Sort Album tags don't update

Having spent a lot of time over the years getting the metadata in my iTunes library just right, I've noticed a frustrating problem when it comes to iTunes Match.
I make use of 'Sort Artist' and 'Sort Album Artist' tags so that my library is sorted by artist surname (eg. Lennon, John).
This always worked correctly when I syncronised my music via iTunes, but since switching over to iTunes Match this has become problematic.
When I initially signed up for iTunes Match, my Library moved over correctly - honouring the sort order tags that I had added. However, When I add NEW music to the library and subsequently change the sort tag, the change does not propegate to iTunes Match (Though it does appear correct in iTunes on my Mac). So the result is now a mixed sort order on my iOS devices - some by first name and some by second.
Under iOS 5.0 and iTunes 10 I used to be able to get around this with a little forethought - I would turn iTunes Match OFF on the Mac before adding any new songs, then I would edit the tags and then switch Match back on. This would rescan the library and add the new tracks to the cloud complete with correct metadata.
This workaround no longer works under iOS 6 and iTunes 11.
I have tried switching iTunes match off on my iPhone and restarting it. This does not work either.
Does anyone else have this issue or know of a way to 'force' the metadata to be updated?
Any help would be appreciated.

I also am finding it impossible to convince my iPhone that the Album Sort field exists. This is especially odd considering when I view my Home Shared music from my iPhone, it works exactly correctly. I have verified that the tags are being uploaded to iTunes Match by viewing the songs from another computer that has iTunes Match. So, for some reason, iOS 6 will not sort by the Album Sort field when using iTunes Match music.
Does anyone have any sort of fix or workaround for this problem? I've submitted Feedback to Apple.

Adding ARTIST name to ALBUM folder name

Hi folks,
I've looking around for a script that might do this but so far still looking. Any suggestions appreciated in advance.
I have an itunes library (organized in the usual ARTIST folders with ALBUM subfolders). I'll be using this library outside of itunes in an environment where I'll need to remove the first level of ARTIST folders.
Any ideas of a way (or script) to add the ARTIST name to the inner ALBUM folder name?
So the the ALBUM folders would be renamed "[artist]-[album]"....
(one that would run on a PPC 10.5.8 or lower)
Seems like a simple script...I just haven't found it yet.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, thanks Limnos, I've utilized Doug's scripts. I wasn't able to find this there, and would like asking Doug to be a last resort.
The answer to this may be a simple folder script (unrelated to itunes)... or, yes, perhaps an actual itunes script.
Any ideas anyone?....
Thanks!

If artist has one album jumps str8 to it.....cant view songs not part of it

Hi
I don't know if this is an issue with my iPod or with this generation in general, but when trying to view an artists songs if the artist has one album and a few songs that are not part of that album it jumps straight to that album, therefore no longer giving me the option to view all songs or just the songs from that album. For other artists that have multiple albums it does bring that normal menu up, allowing me to view all songs or songs from each of the particular albums.
Help!!

well i did think of that.....but i was hoping there would be a more technical and long-term resolution
the idea of having no album names or needing to have some kind of generic album title really doesn't appeal!!
sorry if this seems like i am being too fussy!!

View individual artists in compilation albums?

Hello,
I have an issue that has been bugging me for a while. I can't seem to set up my music collection so that when opening a compilation album on my ipad it shows a list of songs on the compilation album along with the artist of each song.
In itunes on my computer it displays as expected - the song name appears with the artist below it in the compilations album. See below:
When synced to my ipad and clicking on the same compilation album it displays without the artist name. See below:
Note also that the album artist name below the album thumbnail is one of the track artists.
The settings for this album in itunes on my mac are:
Each song has their artist name and song name completed.
Album artist is left blank
Compilation is ticked.
This results in the correct display in itunes on the computer, but not on the ipad.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help

Typically, after posting my question I stumbled across a solution that almost solves my problem, but not completely.
I completely closed the music app on the ipad then reopened it and all the artists did appear under their track names in compilations.
I have added various artists under the album artist too.
The only problem that remains is rather than displaying "Various Artists" under the thumbnail in picture 2 above, it shows a random artist name.
Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
