Track number in album view

hi,
i'm not sure how to explain this. i have a slightly annoying problem, that i am sure can't be resolved but it's worth a shot. i like the album list view. i hope it's called that. i click the list view, and the little arrow on the top left to get the album views. now that i have this open i get a column between the name of the song and the album image. this states the track number, although not the one from view option given by iTUnes. is there any way to disable this column?
i hope i managed to explain what's happening
thanks guys
p.s. oh yeah, the iTunes version is 8.0.1

You posted your question about the finder in the Snow Leopard discussions and said nothing about cell phones. I answered on that basis. I have no idea what your cell phone capabilities are but if the finder can't do it directly on the machine I wouldn't expect any (attached?) phone to do it either and vice versa.

With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or album.

With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or even the album sort order (for example when adding 2 albums stored in a unique folder). Anyone has any ideas ? Been stumped for a while....!!!

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

I'd like to manipulate manually where in the track list (album view) the track appears. How?

I've got the latest version of iTunes installed in Windows.
All I want to do is group some things together in my main track list under 'Album View.'
I have 200 items in my track listing. How do I direct one item to display underneath two related ones?
Yes, I know how to edit track information. So far that only works to edit info, not to sort.
There are fields in File > Get Info > Sort > 'Sort Name,' 'Sort Album,' 'Sort Artist,' et cetera, but who knows what data goes in those fields to manipulate what order tracks appear in this list?

Please try the action I supplied in my post.
If you untick the search Entire library
Then type in your search term it will give the list of songs in the main window

How do I reorganize the order of songs or tracks within an album?

How can I permenantly change the order of tracks or songs within an album without creating a playlist for that album?

If the songs are in a playlist open iTunes then click on the playlist. Click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Right click on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order". Connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the change. If you are updating manually then you connect first and when the iPod appears in the source list carry out the process above directly in the playlist on your iPod. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.
If the tracks are out of order in the library try this, I found that it works for me. Right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose **Track Number** from the list. Click at the top of this new column to sort it and after that click on the Album column. If you like you can then click on Artist, it will continue to hold the track order as well. Afterwards anything you import should follow this arrangement Artist>Album>Track Number within Album (you can hide the track number column when you've done if you don't want it cluttering up the view)

How do I re-number and re-order tracks in album view in iTunes 11 for Mac?

When I manually transfered my iTunes library from an old PowerBook G4 to a used (but new to me) MacBook Pro, one of my albums has the same track numbers for multiple songs and so the songs are in the incorrect order.
I know I can create a playlist of the album and re-rorder the songs, which I've already done.

I found the answer in another thread. I have to use Get Info -> Info for each song and change its track number to the correct number.

Artist info, track number, album title won't show up in iTunes

When I view the songs in explorer, I am able to see the info, but not in iTunes. When I am in iTunes and click on "get info" the ID3 tags are showing as v2.3 and only the track title is showing. When I "add folder to library" and the little progress window appears, it never shows "converting ID3..."
The same files opened in WMP all have complete info including track title, track number, album title.
The same folder is doing this on 2 different computers. We are talking about a huge amount of songs to have to update manually (total of 2.6G from this artist).
How can I get iTunes to show this info?
Troubleshooting info...I deleted a different album from iTunes, then re-added it to my library with no problems, so I am reluctant to blame the program. I'm thinking it is the files/folder. I kind of eliminated that with the attempt on the other computer.

Album View in iTunes 11 doesn't keep track order

Is anyone else noticing when clicking on an album cover in the Album View that a lot of albums list the tracks our of order? About half my are doing this.
Is there a way to correct this or is it a bug?

I found the answer in another thread. I have to use Get Info -> Info for each song and change its track number to the correct number.

Is anyone else having problems with Sound Check playing tracks at the wrong volume in Album view?

I have noticed in the last few weeks that when I play an album on iTunes, some of the tracks are played at a lower volume. I am using sound check, and when I play the tracks individually from the "Songs" view they all play at the correct volume. However, when i choose album view, some of the same tracks are played at a lower volume. I have rang the support line and they couldn't tell me why this is happening. Has anybody else had this happen to them, and does anyone know a way round this?

I have problems with many of the same issues you mention with zoom on iOS8. Its not entirely clear if this is intended functionality or a number of bugs. The setting for full screen view versus window/regional view seems to not apply globally, which is insanely frustrating. Window view pops up without warning, particularly in a keyboard pop-up event.
I don't particularly liek the popup menu either, but now I HAVE to use it to constantly change from the sudden change to window focus to full screen zoom.
Some of the new filter features are nice additions, but don't seem to work well. or be performance optimized. Low-light, for example, stutters on zooming.
I would also assert that zooming in and out seems more abrubpt and less accurate.
iOS8 is definitely a decrease in usability and performance from its predecessors. Apple, please work out the bugs and get this right!

Importing CD to Artist folder\Album folder\file with track number and name:

I have a problem then importing my cd’s to my harddisk using iTunes.
On my previous pc I got what I want, Artist folder, Album folder and file with track number and name:
e.g.
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\01 Blues Boys Tune.mp3
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\02 Bad Case Of Love.mp3
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\03 I'll Survive.mp3
But now I get:
D:\My Music\Compilations\Blues On The Bayou\01 Blues Boys Tune.mp3
D:\My Music\ Compilations \02 Bad Case Of Love.mp3
D:\My Music\ Compilations \03 I'll Survive.mp3
In iTunes my settings are Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced: iTunes Music folder: D:\My Music and checkmark in both: “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library”.
My version of iTunes is 8.0.1.11
Thanks in advance
Peter

It will depend on the album. Gracenote considers anthologies, a collection of tracks by the same artist taken from different albums, as a compilation. In iTunes the compliation setting should really only be applied to a collection of tracks by different artists.

Why my tracks are not shown in Album view and Artist view, only Album Artworks are shown???

Dear,
I have not have this problem in the previous version of iTune. As soon as i upgraded it to iTunes 11, it happens.
The problem in here is all my songs, tracks are still here, i can see all of them in "songs view". However, when i change the view to Album View, and click into the Album artwork, there is no track there. When i double click into the Album Artwork, the first song of the album will be played normally.
Same story to the Artist View. Only the Album Artworks are shown and the rest is completely blank.
I have absolutely no idea what is going on here and obviously i am not satisfy with this new version.
Is there any way for me to fix this problem? Please help!
Otherwise i will need to use other software for music playing.
Regard,

How do I view tracks of an album in version 11.0.4.4?

With the new updates to itunes, I've been avoiding itunes, because I don't like them
However, I just got a new CD, imported it into itunes...but now when I click on the album, it just plays the first track. I have no idea how to find any of the other songs, other than searching each one by title.

Have you tried clicking the Albums button in the toolbar?
If you then click on the album, it should show you all the tracks for that album. If the tracks aren't grouping correctly, see:
http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
You can also see albums and the tracks they contain in the Songs listing if you show the Column Browser (View menu).
Regards.

Sort by Artist - Album - Track Number

I could use some help pls. I have recently reinstalled and now all of a sudden iTunes is acting stupid. I want to sort by Artist -> Album -> Track Number. What is happening is it's sorting by Artist -> Album but the Track Numbers are backwards (listed 10 to 1).
Before you say it, it is NOT a tag issue!! I just spent the last two hours staring at a single album. Every instance of artist/album artist/disk x of y/year/genre/etc/etc are IDENTICAL. Every instance of everything that is not unique is absolutely identical!!
As a side note...does anyone know why Apple refuses to fix the bug in iTunes where mouse wheel scrolling has never worked?
Thanks...

Click on the Artist album header.
In the right side of the Artist album column header is a small triangle.
Click it so it points up. This will sort the albums track 1 thru track 10.
If the trianlge is pointing down, it will sort track 10 to track 1.
I click Artist with the arrow DEscending.
It's a triangle, not an arrow. The top of the triangle is smaller and the bottom is larger, just like the sort. Or vice-versa.
This used to automatically sort each Album under each Artist and within each Album the Tracks would be sorted numerically (1->10).
No, it has never worked as you suggest.
Ascending sort
Descending sort

How to show artists on a track, album view - itunes 11

just got itunes 11 and i have my library in album view, when i click on an album a list of songs drops down and underneath each track the artists on the track are displayed; but not for every album. i cant seem to find why but sometimes the artists just arn't shown, how do i make it show?

alice286 wrote:
Thank you so much! Got it sorted!
Another quick qu - what do I do if I have a compilation with each song having a different artist? Can I show the individual artist whilst keeping them all in the same album?
Only in the Album view. Artist view will display them separately unless you have Group by Album Artist turned On. I tend to set the Album Artist (not the individual track artist) as "Various" or XYZ Soundtrack or something similar making grouping them a bit easier.

Tracks sorted by date / album / track number

Hello,
I always display my tracks sorted by date added, because I like to see my newest records first. This way the new "album view", with the sleeve on the left of the tracks, looks good.
Except there is something really annoying, because it is sorted by date, it seems to be strictly sorted by date, and the tracks do not show in the correct order, more in the order, seond by second, they were added to the library.
Is there a way to make the tracks show by date added, but within one album sorted by song order ?
Thanks

The link should have taken you to my scripts page, where clicking on the name of the script should have given you a file to download called SortDateAdded.vbs. Assuming you saved this without changing the .vbs extension then I'm not sure why it doesn't work. I'm pretty sure Vista should support VBScript without any extra effort, but I'll have a hunt around and see what I can find out. Perhaps there is some optional component that was excluded during your Vista install.
Ah... try this link: http://colinwetherbee.com/weblog/archives/2007/04/vbscriptnotre.html

Can I view track play counts in album view?

The album view is beautiful in the new iTunes. But it doesn't seem to show play counts for the tracks. Who else wants this feature? Or if it exists, how can I get to it?

Icons can only be viewed on the arrange page.
I'm not sure what space in the mixer you're referring to though. There's the track name, and a little bit of space before the bottom of the fader, but hardly enough to be usable, imo. Or were you talking about somewhere else?
