Same Album Different Section Of Itunes

Hi,
In Itunes, i have put a few songs by the band i am in - when i have edited all the information to be exactly the same and click on the respective album to just show these songs they are in 3 different sections (as if it were 3 different albums) rather than all being in one list.
How can i get them into one album as such? Itunes says there is only one album there but it shows them separately.
Thanks

Try selecting all the songs at same time before doing 'get info'. When the editing window opens with multiple songs selected only fields that are the same on all selected tracks will be filled in when window opens. After opening window type in the album name in appropriate field.
What happens sometimes is that there are extra spaces in tags. The program sees them but we may not.

  • Songs from the same album are split in iTunes after import

    I just installed iTunes 8 and had it automatically import my unprotected WMA files. When browsing the albums in iTunes I noticed that several albums had been split into 2 or more albums. I did some digging around on the Forums and found out why and that the solution was to mark the songs as being a part of a compilation.
    I followed the instructions here (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468). E.g. one album was showing as 5, so I selected the songs, did a Get Info, then Options tab -> Part of a compilation = Yes. I have "Group compilations when browsing" turned on in the Advanced tab of the Preferences dialog.
    Yet when I browse by album, the songs are still showing in 5 albums.
    Any ideas?

    There is something different about the tags to create this condition. I have run across it many times. The solution should be as follows:
    Select all of the items on one album, even if they are listed as 5 albums. Right click, then Get Info. You might see that some of the info on the multiple items info screen is missing. This is because at least one of the songs is different than the rest. You should use this screen to ensure the Artist and Album fields are exactly identical, and that the Compilations button (on the options tab) is the same for all the songs on the one album. By entering info on the multiple items info screen, you change all of the info for each song. This is particularly important for anything you did not directly import into iTunes from the CD - the previous import or copy did not didn't ensure these tags were the same.
    Post your results - I'd be interested in knowing if this helped.

  • Same album different price

    I am pretty new to itunes and I want to buy 'out of ashes, dead by sunrise' there are 2 different prices, 10.70 or 11.99. I've searched online and the forums and can't see the difference. I haven't purchased any individual songs-I thought maybe it was a complete my album thing. How do I find out the differences between the 2?

    You just wasted two bucks => $8.99 at amazon.com MP3 download store.

  • When importing songs of a same album but different artist iTunes will separate the artists. How can I bring all together in the same album?

    Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

    Hi,
    a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
    I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
    I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
    Here's an example:
    I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
    I discovered something else though:
    When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
    Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
    Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone please answer my question?

  • ITunes match tracks different volumes from the same album

    Using iTunes Match.  Among other reported problems, after downloading Matched tracks to my master iTunes library to replace lower bitrate versions, the new tracks from the same album have different loudness or volumes between the tracks.  Is this because iTunes Match is matching the songs to different versions of the same album?  Where some albums have been 'remastered' or such, that the recorded volume between the albums is different?  But instead of matching tracks to the same version of the album, some are being matched to different versions of the same album?
    Quite offputting to listen to a single album where track to track loudness changes suddenly.
    PS, I'm not using SoundCheck on my Mac.

    Same problem here. I'm an "album" kind of music fan and when I'm listening matched albums that the sound quality and voulme changes I get really put off. Case in point B-52's self-titled album: tracks 1,2, 5 & 7, nice and loud; 3, 4, 6, 8 & 9 tiny sounding in comparison...Hello?  So far iTunes Match is not worth my money. I'd like to hear form an Apple iTunes Match repersentative to know if this issue will be resolved. As it is, is not very useful. Please fix the problem. Also many of my albums show that a track or a few will not be matched but uploaded to the cloud which means more of my albums will be spotty sounding as tracks will have different bit rate, etc. There is no real excuse for not matching whole albums as oppose to single songs. I read somwhere the 'typical" case of the Beatles "Abbay Road" album not matching "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" on most users. I think is silly to say the less. Albums matching not single songs, please!!!

  • How can I display a compilation album as one album rather than as separate songs? (each different artist shows with the same album art)

    I want a compilation album, consisting of different artists, to all be included within the one album folder.  Currently when scrolling through my ipod classic each artist has its own album folder, even though they originate from the same album e.g. "The Best Rock 'n' Roll Album in the World Ever" consists of two discs (50 songs).  Each artist's song shows as a 'separate album' of one song, each with the same album artwork.  I want all of those on Disc 1 to be under one album cover and similarly for those on Disc 2.

    Select all the tracks on disc 1 and via Get Info, change the Album Artist to Various Artists and turn on the compilation flag. This is iTunes 12:
    Then repeat for disc 2.

  • For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

    For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?  All songs are available on iTunes.  I don't get it!  Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match?  I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

    Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
    You aren't comparing like with like.
    The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
    With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
    In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
    I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
    The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

  • Itunes two versions of the same album?

    Hello,
    I have two versions, high res audio and CD quality, of the same album of an artist located in two folders "Album Title" and "Album Title HD".
    By adding the two folders to the iTunes mediathek, all tracks are merged under "Album Title" in iTunes. Do I have to manipulate the meta data to avoid this behavior in iTunes? Interestingly the views on the Mac and via iOS Remote App are different:
    Mac:
    Track 1
    Track 1 HD
    Track 2
    Track 2 HD
    etc.
    Rmote App:
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track Last
    Track 1 HD
    Track 2 HD
    I disabled the automatic handling option for iTunes import. So still two folders in the iTunes music folder exist.
    Any ideas?
    Andreas

    If you want them to appear as separate albums you will have to change the metadata for one of the albums.  There are many ways to do this and which one you use will depends upon your preferences.
    You can make it obvious by doing something such as adding a descriptor to the album name e.g., Album Name [CD quality]
    You can "hide".  If you do not normally use the album artist field and you add an album artist to that field for one of the versions it will cause that to sort separately.  Similarly if you add a number to the disc number field that should normally get it to display separately.
    Alternatively you can come up with a smart playlist to sort according to kind.

  • How to find a selection of photos taken at different dates but imported together. I want them in the same album but they're no longer in the "last import" album.

    I imported a bunch of photos taken at different dates that i wanted to group together in the same album but they are not in the "last import" album and are all just mixed in with "all photos" according to the dates they were taken and it's impossible to sift through them all to select the ones i wanted.

    Sorry I'm terrible at explaining and even using my macbook haha. Let me try again. I imported some photos that I wanted to group together into an album. I forgot to create the album before importing a new set of photos which then took the place of the previous ones in the "last import" album. Is there anywhere or any way I can easily find the selection of photos I forgot to put into an album together without having to select them one by one from the "all photos" section? These would be the only pictures in my Photos application that haven't been organized into an album yet if that helps; however, these photos were not taken on the same date.

  • Songs with the same album art not grouped together in iTunes for Windows

    Brand new iTunes user here - do not yet have an iPod! (Needed some music only on iTunes)
    When I first started up iTunes, it imported all of my music I already had on my computer. A few of them are soundtracks with different artists.
    When they are shown in the iTunes library, the soundtracks have been broken up by Artist instead of staying as a whole album. How do I get the songs back together as one album? I found the folder on my computer where they are stored and combined them there, but they are still separate in the iTunes library.
    Thanks from a total newbie!

    Mark the tracks on the album as "Part of a compilation" and fill in the Album Artist field as "Various Artists". Click on the first track of your album to highlight it, hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight everything in between. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info. You'll get a message asking if you want to edit multiple items, say yes. If you are using iTunes 8 in the box that opens go to the Options tab and change "part of a compilation" to Yes and choose OK.
    Also in your library click on the title bar of album column to bring all the tracks in the same album together. If you keep clicking in the title you can choose it to sort by Album, Album by Artist or Album by Year. Clicking on the little triangle on the right side of the column header changes the sort direction. Pointing up and the column is sorted in Ascending order (A to Z). Pointing down and the column is sorted in Descending order (Z to A).

  • HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

    i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

    first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

  • Same TV Show, Different Section

    Hi,
    I'm having a bit of a problem with iTunes. I have a few episodes from a tv show that I didn't buy off of itunes and they were all sorted in the tv show section, then I bought a couple more episodes of the same show and season and they are in a totally different section! They're both in TV shows, but a line seperates them as if they're totally different shows. All of the information is the same, yet they still won't go together. Any idea how to fix this?

    I'm having the same problem I have 3 seasons of a tv show. Season 2 and 6 group together as one season but season 5 gets a different section. I too am very confused at this point. I think it may just be a bug in iTunes though

  • Songs from the same album appearing as coming from different albums

    I am having trouble grouping multiple songs into one album. In my iTunes, there are songs from the same album that are appearing as from separate albums. For some reason, it is only happening in rare cases. It has randomly split The Roots' album How I Got Over into 3 separate albums, and it has split every Outkast song into individual albums.
    And yes, I have already tried the basic steps of selecting all the songs I want to group, and editing their info together. I have done this, and ticked every box in the info fields so they will be identical. Yet they are still appearing as songs coming from separate albums.
    Does anyone know what I can do? (I am using the current version of iTunes -- v9.2.0.61)

    Actually there is something else, more for the purists though.
    Some albums will have "featured" artists and they will be stuck into another part of the tag, but by doing that iTunes thinks it's another artist and treats it as a different album. A good fix that I use is to remove the featured artist and ammend it to the track name. So: "When You're Gone (feat. Mel C)" Is the actual track name instead of "When you're Gone" and the artist being "Mel C" and the album artist being "Bryan Adams". Make sense?
    By turning it into a compilation it will change where it appears on your iPod or whatever, basically it will be grouped with all other compilations, not where the artist should be.
