TS1424 Albums Vs Compilations in itunes

Certain albums that i have imported into itunes from my CD collection have been included in Compilations instead of Albums. This mean that these albums do no appear when i search by Artist. Is it possible to re-categorise these as Albums?

Highlight the complete album and select File/Get Info/Options and set Part of a Compliation to "No". Note that even if this field says "No", you should set it to "Yes" and then back to "No". This ensure that all the tracks are set to "No".
Then simply Sync your iiPod with your iTunes Library for that change to be on the iPod too.
Uusually, the "certain albums" that you refer to are greatest hits abums from one artist, which for some strange reason, the music business refers to as compilations. I don't and never have done in many, many years of collecting music. iTunes doesn't either.

Hi there neoart,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the iTunes Help webpage below, it provides more information about grouping compilations and editing CD information, which should help you change the way compilations are displayed in the new version of iTunes.
CD info - iTunes Help
Compilation CD
For an album with songs by multiple artists, such as a movie soundtrack. To group such albums together (rather than list each song with its particular artist), choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and select “Group compilations when browsing.”

TS1424 the tracks are skipping on the last two albums i purchased on itunes. it isn't a disk problem. definitely in the download.

the tracks are skipping on the last two albums i bought from itunes. it isn't a problem with the disk burning, when i play the albums in itunes the skips are even though it said the dowload had been successful.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all. the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit. If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it. I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match. But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

How do i make a compilation in itunes without ruining the original record files

i am trying to make a compilation in itunes as a christmas present... i was hoping to create a whole new "album". but every time i try it either 1. puts the songs in alphabetical order 2. changes the original album file. Is there a program out there i can use to create a digital compilation? I have a hankering to make a mixed tape - but somehow do it in the digital age.

Gah,
The best way to do that is to make a copy of each song. Leave the tags in the originals alone, but in the mixtape copies change the Album name (something like "Gah's Christmas MIxtape") and the Album Artist ("Compiled by Gah").

Syncing up existing PC music compilations to itunes music library

Sorry, I mis-stated what I wanted to ask in my first posting. It sounded confusing after I read it. I have corrected it below.
I just bought my I-pod and I wanted to put my current compilations from my music library on to Itunes. Unfortunately, when I uploaded my music library from my computer, Itunes separated all my songs from my already created compilations or playlists. My question is this:
Do I now need to go through my Itunes library and individually drag and drop the songs I want to a new playlist in order to re-create my original compilations on Itunes OR is there a way for Itunes to grab my original compliations and upload them to my Itunes library just as they appeared and functioned from my computer music library?
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you,
Evan

Thanks for the response. I set up the compilations into folders in my music library so i could burn these favorites onto a cd when I wanted. Other folders were set up of cd's I copied from original cd's to my computer. For instance, if I were to look for an original album, I couldn't find it, but I would find all the songs individually listed through out my itunes library.
Let's say I created a folder called "Hard Rock" in my PC music library, and in that folder I had 5 separate compilations of my favorite hard rock songs with separate names (titles I made up for each compilation). At any time I could burn those compilations to their own CD's with no problem via the media player. My question now is, can those same (existing) compilations or folders be recognized by itunes as a favorite group of songs or do I have to individually re-create them again in the itunes music library as a new playlist?
As it stands now, my whole pc music library is in the itunes library, but now organized as it appears in my PC library. Does this make sense? I guess I am looking to make my itunes library appear almost identical to my PC library. I am not 100% computer savvy, so I am just trying to figure all of this ipod stuff out.
One other question and this is coming from a rookie on all this stuff...what does clicking and un-clicking the boxes to the left of the songs do??
Thanks for all your help!

Group compilations in itunes 10

hello everybody.. i have just spent 3 hours reading post forums but nobody could really answear clearly about grouping compilations in itunes 10.
I have my library in an external disk, i have many compilations and now they are divided as artist.. how can I group all in the ORIGINAL compilation list and have them in order like out Itune or the original album pleaseeee
thanks a lot

Same problem here. And I thought I'd I figure out how to deal with it by making the Album Artist box blank and checking the Compilation box. I did that for all my multi-artist compilations and the tracks were grouped by album per the CD and listed as "Various Artists". That will allow you to play the album old school.
But, I lost the ability to list the track artist seperately, i.e., I have a compilation CD called EZ Riding' with the classic Golden Earring tune Radar Love. It and all the other tracks ripped into seperate iTunes tracks, not compiled, and there wasn't a single album with all the tracks. But, Golden Earring was a listed artist and if I listed Albums by Artist or looked in the Artist scroll bar, I could see Golden Earring.
After I blanked the Album Artist line for that track and selected Compilation, the Golden Earring track dissappeared from the Album by Artist list and the Artist scroll list, although if I search for them, I get the track id'd.
But I started fooling around with that one track by un-checking the Compilation box and re-inserting the Album Artist and instead of toggling, iTunes dis-aggregated the Album again and it now won't re-aggregate no matter what I do with the Album Artist and Compilation.
Bizarre.

Compilation dans iTunes 11

Compilation dans iTunes 11
Depuis le passage à iTunes 11,j'ai un probleme avec les compilations.
Les nouvelles compilations n'apparaissent pas comme tels.Elle sont présentées dans iTunes 11,comme dans mon iPhone 5 sous iOS 6.0.1 comme une suite de singles.
Alors que les compilations importé avant le passage à iTunes 11 apparaissent comme il faut.
Pour illustrer mes propos quelques captures d'écran.
Voici comment cela devrait etre : un album de compilation importé avec iTunes 10
Lorsqu'on selectionne l'album la liste des pistes apparait :
Maintenant voila le resultat avec une compilation importee avec iTunes 11
Voici comment cette compilation importee avec iTunes 11 apparait dans mon disque dur : bien comme une compilation
Voici les réglages dans iTunes de cette compilation :
Ce sont les même réglages que pour la compilation Buddha Bar,qui elle est bien ordonnee :
Evidememnt la complilation Buddha Bar apparait dans mon disque dur,aussi comme il faut :
Quelqu'un a-t-il une réponse pour remettre les choses en ordre ?

I'm not sure I understand what you're driving at... Perhaps a screenshot would help.
As far as I'm aware the best way of marking compilation albums is to set Part of a Compilation to Yes and set a common Album Artist such as Various Artists. Personally I prefer to keep my Artists listing clean by listing only Album Artists but you should be able to turn off the View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists option to display all artists, even those who only appear on compilations. iOS devices have a similar option. See Grouping tracks into albums for some background.
You can use the iTunes Feedback or Bug Reporter channels to raise your concerns. Apple can only fix a problem that they know about, and then only if they agree it is a problem and decide it is worth the effort. The more specifically you can describe the actual behaviour verses the expected behavior the more likely it is that something might get done, however this can be a slow process. Often you are better off reaching a full understanding of how things work, and then tweaking your tags/workflow to make the best of things as they are.

ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums. Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes. Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

OS is Windows 7
I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely. The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes. I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck. Many of these albums I bought from iTunes. The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot. Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself. I am very frustrated. I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument. My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue. iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me. This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

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.

Album artwork is in iTunes but it does not show up on my iPhone, how do I fix this?

I like to have all my albums have artwork so on my iTunes I made sure that they do. Everyone of my albums have artwork in iTunes but when i sync my iPhone none of them show up.

This same thing happened to me, so I plugged my iphone into the computer and I unchecked all the songs so it deleted from my phone and then i rechecked sync music back to the phone and all the album artwork were there.

Why is Remote app album view different than iTunes?

I use the Remote app on my iPad to control the streaming of my PC's iTunes music library to my stereo. I like the Album view because I can see most of the album covers. In iTunes 11.1 on my PC, album view displays the albums alphabetically by artist. i.e. all Beatles albums are listed before any Rolling Stones albums. But when viewing the same library on my iPad using the Remote app, the albums are listed alphabetically by album title, not by artist. So each artist's albums are scattered all over. I don't know about you, but when I'm looking for an album to play, I think about artists, not titles of albums. But there doesn't seem to be any way to change the way the Remote app orders albums. Am I missing something? Is there any way to configure the Remote app to display albums in artist order?

Hi go the first page of the Remote, the one which shows your shared libraries.
Click Settings, and then Sort by Artist tab,
Hope that helps!

Is there a way for me to "gift" or send an album download from my iTunes account to my daughter in another city?

This is not a law forum but technically I think your daughter is supposed to own her own copy, not a second copy of the track you bought. In that regard it would be best to use Apple's gifting service to give her the track.
