Song List Out of Whack

I know there are several posts here that express the same issue, but I cannot find any definitive resolution, so I will ask the question again.
iPhone 3Gs, iOS 4.2.1, in the iPod application, the list of songs and artists does not line up correctly with the index letters.. i.e. all my songs that start with a number (2112 - Rush) are first under the "A" bar rather than last under the "#" bar. This is throwing my whole list off.
In the artist list, all artists that begin wiht "THE" are listed under the "A" bar rather than their respective alphabetical bar, as are ones that start with a number (38 Special for example).
I have reset the phone to no avail. Has anyone been able to rectify this??
Thanks.

The albums are alphabetical, but the songs aren't. Otherwise the list would be completely screwed up.
Song 4 is titled "The Bleeding," while song 9 is "Death Before Dishonor." Song 1 on the album is "Ashes." So it's not a case of alphabetizing.
I had purchased the singles for The Bleeding and Detha/Dishonor before buying the full album, but I had iTunes delete the duplicate songs when I added the full album to my library.

Song list out of order?

I've placed my Five Finger Death Punch album on my iPod, but the songs are out of order. Song 4 and 9 are showing as 1 and 2 on the iPod, while on my iTunes it's all correct.

Imported song listed out of order -- yes, I checked song and disc "# of #"s

Imported a five-volume set of CDs. Song #15 of 18, Disc #1 of 5 insists on sitting on top of the order. And, yes, I've checked the column-sorting, it's sorted by album.
It shows up this way on both iTunes and my iPod. WTH?!

Album art on song list view?

So I was just watching a TV spot for the iPhone and I noticed that on the demo when the iPod button is pressed, the song list shows up. On the Song list, I (just now) noticed that apparently the album art is showing up on the left of the song title. Additionally, the video tutorial here on Apple's site shows the same thing.
My question is this: When in iPod mode, my iPhone will display album art when I select a song, or when I rotate the iPhone to landscape view but not while I'm viewing the song list. Is there a way to get album art for a song to display in the list and if so, how?

When you view Albums in a list.
On the iPod vertical view, there is a MORE button on the bottom right. You hit that, hit Albums, and the songs list out one by one with little covers on the left.

Album song lists displayed out of numerical order

Suddenly, the song lists for each album at the music store, are displayed out of numerical order. Is it something I did? If so how can I fix it? Makes it very hard to find and buy proper song.

The sort-order for songs can be changed by clicking on the various column headings in the Music Store display.
So make sure you've selected the left-most column for your sorting order.

I need to print my song list from a cd I just burned, but when I do it comes out all printed on top of each other and un readable. I have done this lots of times, this is the first time I have had this happen

I have burned a lot of cd's and always print the jewel case song list when I am done, but tonight I tried to so that and it prints, but all jumbled together and unreadable. I have not changed anything on my printer and all the test pages print great, so don't know how to fix the problem in Itunes.

There is another discussion of this problem under "can't print cd jewel case inserts"--about 20 people on that page have the same problem.--I have a "band-aid" fix for anyone is in a hurry. When you go to print, choose the option "large playlist" (I think it is the last option). You can then print at least the songs that are on the playlist. Then, you can print a mosaic copy to get the album art work. Then you get out the scotch tape & tape them together! This is UNACCEPTABLE but it will do in a pinch. Someone on the other page suggests we all write in "itunes" feedback & complain.

Song list in iTunes "out of bounds"?

Hey.
I have had this issue the last couple days, the song list in iTunes is out of its bounds. It goes all the way to the top, hiding the search field and making life a real pain.
I have tried restarting my PC and repairing iTunes, with no luck. Might have something to do with my dual monitors?
I'm not sure whether the installation's repair option just looks for damaged files or reinstalls the whole program. If I had removed iTunes and reinstalled it, would it erase my library?

No one answers.... please help me! This is really annoying

Ipod nono song list grayed out

We just got an ipod nano 2g. When we connect it to our PC and select it in itunes, the song list is grayed out. Any suggestions?

This is normal, by default your iPod/nano is set to "Auto update" where when you connect the nano to the PCiTUnes automaticly loads new songs and updates existing ones on the nano. With it on auto update the iPOd is in basic terms locked off. Usually theres no need to access songs off the nano cuz the original songs are on your PC.
If you do want to access and play songs from your nano, you will rightclick it in iTUnes, select "iPod Options" and in the following window set it to "Manual Update" With this feature on the list will not be grayed out and you can play songs from the nano. Only down side to this is you will have to manually add songs and playlist by dragging them over the ipod in iTunes and then dropping it. also with this feature on you will have to manually eject the nano from the PC EVERYTIME you connect it to a PC.
A good place for you to start is "iPod 101" to read and learn all the ropes about iPod, how to use it, features ect ect http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/
Heres a direct link to the chapter in iPod 101 about auto updating and manual updating http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/tunes/3/
Other notes since you just got an iPod is to learn the 5R's to solve most iPod problems and to get the latest iPod updater to keep your iPod software up to date with the latest bug fixes and new features for iPod. The 5R's can be found here http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
The latest iPod updater adds bug fixes, volume limiter and I think this one is the one that added the "Hold menu button down to go directly to the main menu in iPod" and it can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

I bought an entire album but the songs aren't listed out individually

I bought an entire album from iTunes but the songs aren't listed out individually. they are listed individually on my iPhone, but not in my iTunes library.

What happens when you try to download it again? An error message? Does it try to charge you again?
You may need to tell the iTunes store people about it if its trying to charge you for it again.

How can I listen to a song from my song list and play my guitar on GarageBand at the same time?

I want to listen to a song on my song list and play my guitar through GarageBand along with the song. I tried to do the iCloud thing but could not figure it out.

Not at this time. iTunes Match downloads all music listened to on iOS devices. Period.

HT2905 My entire song list duplicated for some reason Do i have to delete individually (take forever), or is there a way to do it all at once?

My entire song list duplicated for some reason. Do I have to delete songs individually (take forever), or is there a way to do it all at once?

I had the same problem. Had at least 3 of each song in my library... Here's how I fixed it.
Go on iTunes to your library
Hit Shift and click on View
Scroll down to "show exact duplicate items"
the list will give you all your duplicated songs
Click at the top of the "date added" Column to sort by date added.
Even if it all happened the same day it will group your whole library by date and time added.
The time is the key...
You can start at the begining of you list and scroll to the last song that was added that day and time frame.
Everything after your last song is duplicates.
Highlight the first song hold down shift and scroll down to the last song...
Once they are all highlighted you can hit delete and send them all to the recycle bin.
It took me a while to figure it out but it works

How to keep my song list organized

Hello
This is my first ipod and therefore my first iTunes. I am running win 7 and had no problems installing iTunes, so far so good.
The issue I am having is the organization of the music list that are displayed in iTunes, List View, Album, Grid and Flow List. I have added a file folder from an external HDD and it synced without issue. so far so good. I added another folder and then it all went sideways .. under libary/music/list view all the albums are seperate entries with covers .. so far so good .. change the view and BOOM everything goes everywhere .. nothing in order .. albums not together .. with only two albums in iTunes it really looks like a mess .. In cover flow I have 17 album covers for two albums .. in cover flow the first two songs from the first album are in there own group then the first song from the next album in it's own group and then 3 songs from the first and then 4 from the other and on and on and on ... it really is a mess .. just from two albums .. what will happen when I install 30 albums .. or dare I say 1000 albums
So I really need some direction in order to have some err.. order
I am not really sure if I have provided enough info in order (there's that word again) for someone to give assistance if not please ask for more info and I will gladly give my left ╖ (oops) ... more info
Thanks from this newbi (am I thought of as an apple seed)
this is an example of my flow list with the only (one) album currently installed on my iTunes I removed the second album due to the mess and thought to contact this board in effort to install my music like the Mac(intosh) i soon might be

note : its out of order
only under song list are all in numerical order ?????
And please don't let me start on music tags that keep all of this music information flowing because this is my next learning curve and if anyone wants to point me in that direction I will follow
and then there is all of the other things that i am sure I don't know .. lol
Again Thank You

I don't believe there's a way to do that. It might be an idea.
If it's not an idea, you might as well submit it.
(I personally would love a feature like that. :P)

Navigating the song list in iTunes - sleeting songs with keyboard

Hi,
i try to manually organize my itunes library and therefore want to select multiple songs in list view.
I know i can command+click in the list to select multiple songs (list entries) but i try to do it with the keyboard.
I can navigate the list using up and down cursor keys and it is possible to select some songs using the shift key (some songs in a row).
But how can i go through the list and just select some songs out of the list i am scrolling through?
I am searching for something like ctrl+space on windows when navigating trough lists using the cursor keys ...
Thanks,
Michael

Export Song List -itunes- to Excel (with BPM)

Hi, trying to export my Itunes library song list to excel. When I do it, it exports most of the info but not the column BPM (Beats per minute). I need this one more than any as a DJ. Why is it not exporting? Any ideas? Everything else looks fine.
Thanks
Matthew

OK, let's try the hard way.
iTunes keeps an XML copy of your Library data in Music:iTunes:iTunes Music Library.xml. iTunes only writes to this file as a quasi-backup of the real database at the heart of iTunes - "iTunes Music Library".
The XML file does contain the BPM data. Depending on your familiarity with XML you may be able to easily parse out the data yourself rather than relying on iTunes' Export command.

Word Download in Grey 4 Times in Song List - Why?

I had to do a restore when my hard drive crashed and when I was done syncing, I now have the word "download" showing 4 times in the song list of my iphone 4s. It is greyed out so you cant do anything with it and no matter what I do I cant get rid of it. I have tried completely erasing the music library and starting it over and that does nt help. When all the songs are gone, the 4 download words still show in grey.
Help!!

First of all, I want to thani you for taking the time to offer help to me. No, the preferences have not shanged. Yes, I can burn tracks that have not been purchased from iTunes.
My latest test was to burn a non iTunes track followed by an iTunes track, followed by a non iTunes track followed by an iTunes track, ALL on the same audio CD. When I played the audio CD on my living room CD player the non iTunes track played fine, just as it always has. However, when it came to the iTunes track there was complete silence until it had used up the time necessary to "play" the iTunes track. Then the sound came through for the non iTunes track, just as it always has. Then again there was only silence for the iTunes track. Thanks for any suggestions. I am baffled.
