Try searching on "Marc-André Hamelin". You'll see he appears on ten different "Rarities of Piano Mu..." albums, but there's no way to distinguish them except by opening up each and every album. You can't sort the list by date.
Long winded and not obvious (iTunes, not you) select by Artist at the bottom of this list, after using the search box to find everything:

Transferring music from new itunes to iphone.

How do i transfer music from a new itunes to my iphone??
*i dont mind deleting my old songs

If you don't mind losing the music currently on your iphone then plug it in and sync it.
Is it a new/different computer?
If so, make sure you have at least one contact and calendar entry in the computer so that you will get the option to merge that data when you first sync.

Problems purchasing music from new iTunes

Installed new iTunes, now some music only downloads the digital booklet for the album, and some single songs do not download. They do not show up in recent puchases, although they appear in my account as purchased.

I can individually re-download each song from the initial search page and then they show up. The "Report a Problem" button does not work on either the music receipt or from the accounts page.

Getting Music on new iTunes frustration

So I downloaded the most recent update for iTunes last night and eventually go it to download. Now today I am trying to put all my music back into iTunes since I had to uninstall my old one but none of the things I tried will actually work. This is the same computer I have used iTunes on for years now. I haven't had an issue with iTunes and putting music on before now. My disc drive isn't working right so I can't use that otherwise I probably wouldn't be having issues right now. Help!

One of the new features in iTunes 7 is allowing the iPod (has to be version 1.2 for Video iPod I think).
Authorize your new computer (when you put iTunes 7 on it after you get it) by going to Store -> Authorize Computer. Put in your store details and Authorize.
Then, connect your iPod and go to File -> Transfer Purchases from "(iPod Name)" and it will put all the purchased music from your iPod to your new computer.
For your other music, just turn disk use on for your iPod. To do that, go into your iPod Summary page and check 'Enable Disk Use'.
Then select all your non-bought music in iTunes and copy it into your iPod (if you have Windows it will show in My Computer).
Then just copy and paste it from your iPod to your other computer through My Computer.
Hope this isn't confusing and helps!

Downloading my ipod's music into new iTunes library

I was forced to ghost my computer, and reload the OS, and in doing so obviously lost my original iTunes library. Now iTunes will not load any of my songs that I did not purchase from the iTunes store into my new iTunes library. All of the music I am trying to upload is from my personal CD collection. Is there any way I can transfer the songs from my iPod to my iTunes library without downloading each CD into iTunes via CD drive? thanks

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

How best to add music to new iTunes library on external hard drive?

I just created a new iTunes library on my external hard drive and would like to add songs that I already have stored in a folder on the external hard drive. Should I simply select all of the songs and drag them over the iTunes library folder or drag them into a specific part of the library folder? Or, should I open the new iTunes library and use the import function? I do not want to get the two libraries (powerbook and external hard drive) intermingled.
Also, should I "keep iTunes library organized" turned on?
Many thanks!
RB

You could leave keep library orginised selected - all it does is rename and reorganize files in your music directory to artist-album-track#-songname format.
Since you want to do this, and still keep your libraries separate, here is one option.
Change the itunes music library to a directory on your external disk.
Then anything new you add will go into the library on the external disk.
When you want to add something to your laptop disk, just change the
music library location back to where it was.
iTunes can be a little confusing. There is the itunes "library" file, which is actually more like a catalog file. Then there is the itunes "music library"
which is where itunes puts music if you have "copy to library" selected.

HT1589 How to keep old music onto new itunes

I brought a new computer (Windows), downloaded itunes, and now I have no songs on this itunes. How do i sync my songs that are in my iphone onto the itunes without losing my old songs? When i try syncing it states that it will erase all my content on my iphone and sync it to my new itunes.
Help?

The ipod is not a backup/storage device. the sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Classical music in new iTunes

Hello,
I like to buy classical music. But with iTunes 9.0, when I look at a titel, it is impossible for me to know the artists. As my English is catastropic, I'll give you an example: I just looked at "Requiem" by Verdi with Antonio Pappano as conductor. It is impossible for me to know who sings...
What can I do?
Sincerely
Peter Weber
