Trick to group multiple albums into one?

Ive got about 20 albums from one artist and it takes up a huge amount of space in the album view.
Is there a trick, other than changing all the names of the album to group them all into one?

Maybe you are missing the "artist view" of the library it does what you expect: gives you a list of artist, clicking it gives you a view of all the albums of the artist
You could also change sort album to e.g. collection for all interested albums, give each album a disc number, set for all albums the right overall disc number and album (collection) artist.
I haven't tried it before...

How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?

How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?
Some examples include: Linkin Park - Studio Collection, Michael Jackson - The Indisposable Collection

Hi skullkrunch3r,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you "Get Info" on the tracks that are part of your collection, you can use the Compilation option in iTunes.
In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.
See this article for more information on marking your albums as part of a compilation:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

OS X Maverick Multi Display Support for grouping multiple monitors into one display?

Will the new Mac Pro be capable of grouping multiple monitors into one large display? Similar to AMD Eyefinity for the purpose of gaming.

The current Mac Pro, or any Mac released since 1987 that can support multiple displays can ALREADY support combining all attached displays into one Extended Desktop, onto which you can open the gaming window and game across multiple displays. It is built into the System Software.

Can you sort multiple albums into one single album....?

So my situation is like this...
I have multiple albums from one specific Band (in this case its music from Shin Megami Persona.) I have all 8 albums sorted separately in Itunes. When it is sync'd to my Iphone it will show all of them in order which is typical. What I am curious about is if I can put the Albums into one Album name and when I click it, it will then show the 8 albums. Basically, this is for the sake of not having a lengthy album list on the iphone.
If my question/explanation was unclear, maybe this might help.
My current Album list looks like this:
Albums- P
Paramore
Persona Reincarnation
Persona 3 OST
Persona 4 OST
Persona 3 FES OST
Persona 3 Portable OST
Persona Music Live 2008
Persona Music Live 2009
Persona Music Live Band
Pink Floyd Greatest Hits
ect... ect...
What I would like is for it to be like this:
Album-P
Paramore
Persona Sountracks <------ click on this
Pinkfloyd Greatest Hits
ect...ect...
Clicking leads to below
Persona Soundtracks:
Persona Reincarnation
Persona 3 OST
Persona 4 OST
Persona 3 FES OST
Persona 3 Portable OST
Persona Music Live 2008
Persona Music Live 2009
Persona Music Live Band
I've been able group them all together by changing them all to the same album name but it just leads to a extremely lengthy list of songs. So if there is anyway to sort by the way I explained above, I am open for suggestions. Thanks!!!1!1!1!1

Thanks. That was very easy and works perfectly. Do you know if I can get my 08 edited footage back into 06 for some additional editing without exporting as a Quicktime movie that I can't edit? I want to add audio tracks that I can edit in synch with my video footage like I can in 06. Thanks!

Stop iTunes from combining multiple albums into one? Or easily reordering tracks once combined?

I'm trying to put a 4-cd compilation of b-sides into iTunes, but iTunes is combining them into ONE huge album. This is only a problem because there are now four Track 1s, four Track 2s, etc. What is the easiest way to fix this? I do NOT want to go through track by track changing them to the correct numerical order. :/ AN help?

Hi Mhwal. I think this may help you.
Here's a test for you to try.
Make sure your iTunes library is updated with your edited album names;
Find a song on your iPhone where the album name is incorrect;
Delete the song from your iPhone;
On your iPhone go to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and tap your Apple ID (highlighted in blue).
Tap "Sign Out";
Go back to your iTunes library and select the song/album that you want back on your iPhone;
The iPhone should now show your edited album tag;
Once your done you can sign back to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and sign back in. Your edits will hold.
In addition, this also works with artist pictures. I did not like the stock images iTunes associated with my artists - I wanted album art instead. After you sign out of your Apple ID, when you move a song/album from your iTunes library to your iPhone the FIRST album you move over will be associated with that artist.
For example, I have seven AC/DC albums but I want the cover of "Back in Black" to be associated with AC/DC on my iPhone's artist listing. After I've signed out of my Apple ID, I transfer "Back in Black" to my iPhone and then the other six albums in any order. "Back in Black" will be the album picture associated with AC/DC on the artist page.
Just remember, after your changes you can sign back into iTunes through "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and your changes to edited albums and artist cover art should hold.
I hope this helps!

Combing Multiple Albums into One but keeping meta-data?

Hello, I am in need of some help!
Okay, so I have a bunch of Rihanna tracks from different albums, but not the full albums. I also scrobble my music to last.fm. I was wondering if I could somehow combine all of the tracks to appear as one album but maintain there original album data so when it scrobbles it shows up on last.fm as having the correct album title. For example, right now I have them all as one album but when it scrobbles it shows all tracks as being on the same album name and not it's actual album title. Thanks!

Hi,
I don't think that this can be done. Once you have changed the album title, all tracks will appear as one album as you have already done.

How Do I Group Multiple Disks as One Album?

I've got the latest iTunes update, 11.0.4, and as with the update before it, I'm supposed to be able to group multiple disks as one album, but I can't figure out how, and can't find any directions at Apple.
I've lately begun ripping my large collection of symphonies and operas on CD into iTunes. Operas especially almost always come on two, three, or even four CD's, BUT IT'S ALL THE SAME OPERA, and the CD's come in the same boxed set. On top of that, there really aren't any "tracks" in an opera; the plot and the music unroll seamlessly from beginning to end (that sometimes takes 5 or 6 hours, which goes with the operatic territory).
On my CD player, I'm used to a pause between disks, but now that I've figured out how to get the "tracks" on each CD to play in order on iTunes (not so intuitive), I'd like to be able to go from the last "track" on Disk 1 to the first track on Disk 2 without interruption, since the technology should be able to support that option.
In the INFO box, I've tried keeping "1 of 3," "2 of 3," "3 of 3." No joy. So I've tried erasing the first element, 1, 2, 3, and just leaving the total number of disks. Again, no joy.
Since the album name is often filled in with something like "Carmen [Disk 1]" for example, and since Albums should have exactly the same name so that iTunes can figure out that in fact, they belong to the same work, I've tried deleting '[Disk 1]" etc. on all 3, leaving just "Carmen" in the appropriate space on the INFO panel for each of the 3 disks. Doesn't work.
Has anyone else been afflicted with the same problem?
Has anyone got a solution?

Have you seen this helpful article:
Grouping tracks into albums:
http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
In the INFO box, I've tried keeping "1 of 3," "2 of 3," "3 of 3."
That is correct. Don't erase the first element, 1, 2, 3, that should not matter.
Since the album name is often filled in with something like "Carmen [Disk 1]" for example, and since Albums should have exactly the same name so that iTunes can figure out that in fact, they belong to the same work, I've tried deleting '[Disk 1]" etc. on all 3, leaving just "Carmen" in the appropriate space on the INFO panel for each of the 3 disks.
Also correct. Also chec, if the "Sort album name" is the same.
Do the artists differ on the tracks?
Then set the "Album Artist" on all CDs to the same name (Various Artists), also check, if the album sort artists names differ.

How do I put a group of tracks into one album

How do I put a group of songs into one album? They copied separately into iTunes.

Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. On iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Move multiple events into one album

Hi,
I am trying to tidy up our photos on iPhoto.
Is there a fast, easy way to move multiple 'Events' into one 'Folder'
For example:
We have all of our photos from our honeymoon in Europe saved as seperate 'Events' According to the location. It was a 3 month trip so there are a lot of 'Events' or locations. Is there a way i can select all of them and put them into the Honeymoon 'folder' without them all merging into one big album?
I want to keep them as separate events within the folder so we can remember where they were taken.
I have been trying to drag the 'Event' over to the Honeymoon 'Folder' but instead of just going straight in there it creates a new unnamed folder on the left panel, and then i have to drag the event up to the honeymoon folder and delete the unnamed folder. It is proving rather time consuming and i have over 12000 photos to sort.
Any help would be great. Simple terms please!!
Thanks

lf you drag an event onto a folder in the left hand pane the photos in that Event will be added to a new album in that folder with the same name as the Event. .

Adding multiple users into one security group at one shot

Hi,
Is there any way we can add multiple users into one security group at one shot into PWA.
For example: I want 100 create 100 users in EPM and Providing them with custom define Team defined permissions and can I add Time sheet Manager as well while creating bulk user through resource template in Project server 2010.
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
In order to add users in a security group, you can open the group, select all the appropriate resources (pressing CTRL key) and add them to the group. There is no other easy way. Otherwise a powershell script could do the job.
For the timesheet manager, if all the 100 resources have the same timesheet manager, you can go to the resource center, select the resources (sorting by resource ID will give you together the latest resources added), bulk edit the resources and select the
timesheet manager for the selected resources.
Hope this helps,

Concatenate multiple columns into one string

Hello,
I am using Oracle 11.2, how can I concatenate the value of multiple columns into one string with one SQL:
create table testTb(classId number(5), classRoom varchar2(32));
insert into testTb value(101, 'room101');
insert into testTb value(101, 'room201');
insert into testTb value(101, 'room301');
insert into testTb value(202, 'room444');
insert into testTb value(202, 'room555');
I would like to generate the result as followings:
Class 101 is in room101, room201, room301
Class 202 is in room444, room555
Thanks,

Hi,
Since you're using Oracle 11.2, you can use the aggregate LISTAGG function:
SELECT       'Class ' || classid
               || ' is in '
             || LISTAGG ( classroom
                     ) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY classroom)
               AS txt
FROM       testtb
GROUP BY classid
;The generic name for concatenating all the strings in a group is String Aggregation . This page shows several ways to do it, suitable for different versions of Oracle.

Merging multiple iphotos into one

Over the past two Macs (a MacMini and my current MacBook Pro) and multiple backups made on the Mini without Time Machine, I have a grand total of 11 seperate iPhoto Albums, with one being my current since I have my MacBook Pro iPhoto set so it is on my backup drive instead of my laptop itself which frees up a lot of space. I want to merge all of my Albums into one. How do I do that?
Thanks!
Dave

The only way is with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -

How do I Merge 2 Albums into one and make CD 1&2

ive tried everything followed other forums that had the same question they just wont merge. if i could insert a video on here to show but it wont let me the icon isnt shaded in and when i press it it wont respond.
ive tried everything that was posted on this forum
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5046421

you kind of solved my question but i didnt really understand it because of the wording but heres a better way of explaining that i found on a different forum
i added an x to both albums artist and that didnt work
then i added an x to both albums artist and album and it grouped
Sometimes iTunes may split an album into one or more partial albums. This split may happen if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist (ignored on iPod), Album, No. of Discs. or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters, or variants of symbols can be quite hard to spot. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. In this instance I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.

How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf document on a HP Envy 4501 Printer

My HP Envy 4501 Printer won't let me scan multiple pages into one pdf document.
I went to "Advanced Settings", clicked on "file" and made sure that the check box next to "Create a separate file for each scanner page" was unchecked.
When I clicked the Save button it showed the page that I scanned and showed 1/1. On the right side it had options for changing the brightness and Contrast, Rotate and Crop and "Back", "Save" and "Done" buttons, but nothing about scanning another page.
Not to mention HP's Customer Support is useless!
I'd appreciate any help I can get with this problem.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi BH,
I see your diagram. I just scanned something. The screen that I'm looking at right now shows the preview page and the scroll box to the left of that just like in your diagram. The screen does not show the + button nor does it show the red x button under the scroll box as in your diagram. I can't see the plus sign because it is not there.
I tried re-installing the software and drivers as you suggested but that did not have any affect.
Thank you for trying to help me with this problem but it hasn't worked, therefore I can't mark the reply "Accept as Solution".
I've noticed that on HP's support forum web page there is only 1 solved request for assistance. That doesn't give me much confidence in HP.
Please reply back to this post to let me know if there is anything else that I can try or if you know someone else at HP that can help.
If I don't here back from you, I'm returning this HP Envy 4501 Printer to get my money back to use it to buy a printer from one of HP's competitors.
Thanks,
Mark
