Songs from same album splitting into seperate albums

I have had this problem a few times and have been able to work through it, until now. I have ripped albums onto itunes and had themshow up as 2 or 3 different albums of the same name on in the album art viewer on itunes. Last night I did a Trans-Siberian orchestra album and it did the same thing. I would select all the songs and change the album name to the same one on the ID3 tag, but they would still show as 2 albums- both named the same. It would put 13 songs in 1 album and 4 in another every time. I finally went in and named each info block except song title exactly the same and it finally seemed to take. I itunes i finally got it to show up as 1 album. Here's the catch-- when I exported it to Ipod the stupid thing split the songs up into 3 (!!) albums on the cover art viewer and listed them under the artist that way too. And each of the displayed albums are named EXACTLY the same- no difference in Caps or anything. Anyone have any Ideas?

The trailing space is the hardest to spot.
Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
This brings up the multiple song info window. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
If the above is not the issue, try this also. Highlight all the songs for that artist, right click on them and select "apply sort field/same artist".

ABBA Gold Album split into 2 Albums since with 11.4(18) update

Strange things happen, with a click on the Album (ABBA Gold latest) it split up into 2 Albums one with only the 1. Song and one with the rest.
I tried to delete it locally and download from the cloud again, but when I choose to view the "music" in the cloud it is still split into 2 albums ... So it looks like the split is in the data on the cloud...
I read a ton of articles about split albums, but couldn't change anything...
Any Idea how to fix this?

Select the songs, do right-click->Get Info, and fill in the Album Artist field (eg, "Westide Story Cast"). This should override the "Artist" field and cause the songs to be grouped into one album.
The individual artists will display under the songs when viewing the album (although I've found I have to restart iTunes for that to occur).

Album split into 3 albums in album view

Hi
I have been transferring some of my old music from a Creative MP3 player to my Ipod. When I go into album view, a couple of albums have been split up, into 3 albums. The first having the first few tracks, the next album having a couple more, then the final album having the last few. Is there any way I can tell Itunes they are the same album, and link them all up accordingly?
Thanks

Hiya, I had exactly the same problem, You need to right click on the songs that have been split up and go to "get info" and make sure the album name are EXACTLY the same. Make sure there are no spaces after the album name and that all capital letters are the same etc. This sorted it out for me, hope it does for you!

Tracks of album split into 2 albums

iTimes 11.1.3 -- some of my albums are split into sections that actually appear as if they are entirely separate albums. In all cases, these are albums that had been downloaded from iTunes Store (years ago). For example, I have 3 albums. For simplicity I'll call them album 1, 2 & 3. Album 1 is missing 3 tracks. Album 2 contains 2 of the tracks that belong to Album 1. Album 3 has the third track that belongs to Album 1.
Don't know how this happened (it was years ago). Am trying to combine so they all are in a single album.

Glad that helped.

I am using MacBook Pro and running 10.8.4. iTunes version 11.0.4. Several of the cd's i have imported recently have been split into multiple albums by ITunes. How do I bring all the bonus tracks together with the original album?

Group Messages Split Into Seperate Group Messages

Problem:
Somehow my group messages are being split into seperate group messages. What is causing this?
Examples:
Example #1: I sent a message to my Mom, Dad, & Sister, which shows in my phone as a single group message. Mom & Dad have android, Sister has Iphone. When they reply, a new group message appears, which includes all of them, and each of their replys, but not my original message. So I end up with two seperate group messages.
Example #2: My friend Alex sends out a group text to me, and eight other people and it shows as one group message in my phone (Mix of Iphones and others). My friend Drew then replys and in my phone I now see two seperate group messages, but he does not. I then reply to Drews new group message, and now he sees two group messages.
Note: In each of these examples, all the same people appear in the message, so it is still a group message, BUT when looking at the different group messages that are created, the names of the people are in a different order.
Phone:
Iphone 6 Plus, Version 8.0, Network: AT&T,
Note: It also would do this with my old Iphone 4S, unfortunately I can't remember when it started to do this, whether it was after an upgrade etc...
Message Settings:
iMessage = On,
Send Read Receipts = Off,
Send as SMS (when MMS not available) = On,
Send & Receive = 3 Addresses, My Phone & 2 x Emails
MMS Messaging = On,

Do I have to import my songs from my cd's into itunes only? Or can I sync

I just got fifth generationvideo ipod, however I am new to the itunes store etc. Do I have to import my songs from my cd's into itunes only? Or can I sync songs from windows media player off of my cd's?

If you add your Windows Media Player songs to iTunes--the songs will stay in the original place on your computer and you only add a file path. This lets iTunes know where to find the songs. This doesn't take up very much hard disk space. The paths are stored in your iTunes folder (which can be found in your My Documents>My Music folder on your hard drive. You can watch this folder to see how big it gets. When you BUY songs from the iTunes store--then the song file will be stored in your iTunes folder on your hard drive. If you buy a lot of music, this folder could get large.
To add song files or folders, go to the top line of iTunes, click File>Add File OR Add Folder and then navigate to the place on your hard disk where you have your Windows Media Files stored.

Songs from same album not listing as within one album

Okay, here's a problem that's kind of strange. I already owned an album, bought on CD, that I have imported into iTunes. I later wanted to make one of the songs into a ringtone for the iPhone, which you can only do with stuff bought from iTunes, so I purchased the song, figuring I would just add it into the album. I changed all of the information to be the exact same between the ones I'd imported and this song from iTunes, and it sorts correctly when sorted by "Artist," but if sorted by "Album by Artist," it moves the downloaded song to being from another album, though it's the exact same, and it Coverflow it also lists them as two seperate albums though they are not.
Is there a way to get iTunes to recognize that these tracks are from the same album or is this just an anoyance I will have to deal with?
Thanks.

In short, there are two possibilities: either you didn't actually get the information identical, or iTunes is slightly confused. Both happen to me pretty regularly.
If you have iTunes keeping your music organized, there's an easy check: pick one of the songs, right click, select Show In Finder. Is your new purchased song in the same folder as the CD you imported? If not, the information is definitely different. The most recent time this happened to me, the imported CD had the "Compilation" box checked.
Next thing: select all of the songs from the album - the imported CD and the purchased song. Right click one of them, select Get Info (or choose Get Info from the File menu). The artist, album artist (if there is one), and the album title, should all be showing. If not, it means that one of those values isn't actually the same for all the tracks.
After that's all fixed up, it's time to blame iTunes. In that case, make a small change to the artist, album artist, and album name. I just add an X to the end of the name. Click OK, and hopefully now the tracks will all be grouped the way you expect. Get Info again and put the names back the way they belong.
Good luck!

Songs from same album not grouped together.

Hello,
I just received a new ipod nano (the new ones) as a gift and all though i love it i am having some troubles with Itunes 7,
the first problem is that iTunes does not group some songs from the same album together, I made sure that all the album details are the same but still I tunes separates certain songs from the album, In case I am not clear here is a link to a screen shoot:
http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/188/ssngtud2.jpg
As you can see some songs from System of a downs album "Steal this album" are arranged as separate songs, how can I change this?
A second problem I have encountered is with compilation specifically with classical music, ITunes slashes the 10 track album into 10 separate songs, although I marked them all as a part of a compilation and set the preferences to display compilations, screen shots;
http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/2387/ndctt6.jpg
1. Is there any way ITunes can display these tracks together?
2. If I move this album to my IPod (after setting it to display compilations) will it show them together as one album?
Thanks for your help in advance

For your first problem, make absolutely certain that there are no hidden spaces at the end of the Artist or Album fields. Also check track number of and disk number of fields. Finally, and this may be most likely, make sure that you use the same Album Artist for each song (blank, or System of a Down).
For the second issue, make sure all songs on the album are marked as "Part of a Compilation", then sort your library as "Album by Artist" (you may need to click the Album header a few times to see that). The Compilations will then be bumped to the bottom of your library. On your iPod, turn Compilations ON to see similar grouping of compilations.

Divided songs from same album.

Hi there.
Just want to know if there is some kind to Magic Trick to solve issue with tracks of same album.
Ex. Album has 10 songs but they are displayed into 2 groups> 1 group from song 1 to 7 and the other from song 8 to 10 (I need to mentionate that they all had same info, no different Artist, Group artist or any other kind of info that could arrange it into those groups)
Hope there could be any help. Many thanks.

Hi there!
Thanks for replying so fast. Right now I am at the work but once I arrive to my home I will visit that link and see what happens...
I really appreciate your help.

HT201272 I bought an album on itune and it got split into two albums

Itune display two same cover album with the tracks spread between the two. How can I merge them? I tried delete and re download...still split. Help.

Hi Roman2010,
Sometimes, iTunes may separate songs based on the data stored within the file:
There are three reasons why songs from the same album may not be grouped together
- The album names of the songs may differ slightly
- The songs from the same album may have different artists
- Not all songs in the album have the same "Album Artist" assigned to it
The following article may provide a resolution to your issue.:

1 album split into two

Hi
I have an album in iTunes 10.5.1 which is split into two, there does not appear to be an discernable diferences in the Get Info of the various tracks, so why does iTunes insist on splitting the album?
Is there any way to tell iTunes that all the tracks are from the same album?
Cheers.

Thanks again for the reply,
I've selected all the tracks then copied and pasted the name of the Artist in the Get Info- Sorting- Sort Artist, this seems to have done the trick. If this fails I'll play around with this option, but this is something that I would rather not do in the future so I appreciate your tip.
Cheers.
