View Albums section like Artists

Embracing the change, but I'd like to be able to view albums by release date as it helps me remember what came out when. I've found cmd+j to sort this but I can only do what I did in 10 in the albums section, but its in grid view and don't see an option to change it.
Also wondering if iTunes has finally added the option to rewind/ff 5 or 10 seconds.

Ultimately, I'm trying to clean-up my photographs and make sure they are referenced from the correct place. I've been using Aperture since 2.0 and although I understand much more about how it organizes things now, I didn't have a perfect understanding then. Life and learn
So, I'm just trying to make sure that there aren't references to certain photographs in certain albums...does that make sense. It would be great to look at a photograph and be able to see, "oh hey, that picture is in those 5 albums....but it's only supposed to be in 4 of them". Of course, this comes down to my poor organization in the last but I was just looking for a way to make this a bit easier on myself.
Hope that is clear. And thank you.

  • My iPod touch (5th gen) doesn't list some albums in the artist's section. But still lists the individual songs in the music list. How can I better organize this?

    I recently bought an iPod touch 5th generation, I had a few CD albums here that I wanted to put into my new iPod, just like my old one. But with my old one I put them all in and it organized them all as the same artist (which they are), so under artists I just had to click on their name, then pick the album. In the 5th gen one, it puts the songs in my iPod, but I can't find the actual album under "Artists". I put 2 albums by this artist, but it only shows one, and the other is nowhere to be found, but it's still in my iPod, just as individual songs in the songs section. I don't think this'll be the only time I'm running into this problem on the 5th gen, I had trouble organizing some other songs. How can I better organize these albums, show them all under the same artist? I tried to re-write the artist name to be exactly the same, but that doesn't do anything.

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Is there a way to view both the album and the artist in an ipod?

    Is there a way to view both the album and the artist name on an ipod? there are a zillion albums called "The very best of..." or obscure names like "fireflies" and until you start playing the songs you have no idea who the artist is.

  • Is there any possible way to set your itunes to just show the album name without the songs included in the album in artist view. and then be able to select the album to expand all the songs. this would be ideal as I have many albums under certain artists

    I use to use windows media player. The layout was great. It would have icons (one of the album artwork inside the folder) for the artists. you could click on the artist and it would have the icons for all of the albums (similar to itunes) however it would not have all the songs included in that album listed underneath or within it. you had to click on the icon for the album to go into that particular album to view the songs. In my personal opinion this was much easier to search for a particular album especially if you had many albums under one artist as I do. I collect live concert recordings for several particular bands. It would be really nice if itunes would allow you to contract the songs names within each album under artist view and have some way to exand them or open a seperate album folder when clicking on the album name through artist view. is this even possible. does anyone know a way to allow this is happen. you would make a serious music collector very happy. I know this is a crazy request but for people who are serious music collectors like myself with over a TB of music it is much easier to consolidate each individual album under each individual artist for faster searching/viewing needs

    You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

  • ITunes music view: Albums by Artist/Year. Still not what I want it.

    Ok, what I'm looking for from iTunes is for it to organize my music by album. Put all the albums together regardless of the artist. Then I want it to lump albums by a single artist together. Then organize that by year. Is that possible? Currently when I use the Album by artist/year, the albums with multiple artists aren't together. They're all over the place according to the artists name. I want my coverflow view to look like I'm going through a jukebox. Jukebox view. How's that for a setting, Apple?

    f it happens every time you get a new computer, one would think you would have figured it out by now...
    Media sync is one way. Computer -> Phone. Copy the media from your old computer to the new computer. Then let iTunes wipe it off of your phone and re-sync.
    The only media you can transfer from the phone to the computer is media purchased on the phone from the iTunes store. Use File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes to do that.

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

    I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so.  My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album.  After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location.  What am I doing wrong?  I know this should be a simple thing to do.  Thanks

    Jimmy RG
    In the Elements Organizer 13
    The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
    Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
    You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
    Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
    in the line up of thumbnails.
    Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

  • HT1473 When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

    When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

    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. For 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.

  • How to select desired album art in Artist View on iPad?

    I hope that is clear enough.
    How do you select your desired album art in the Artist View on an iPad?  It seems that random art is selected and I would rather have a specific album art of my choice. 
    Example, Van Halen, it is showing VH2 as the album art in artist view, however, I'd rather have "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" as the art as I recognize it more quickly.

    If the album/song is available on iTunes Store you can right click the song/album and select Download Artwork, or if you have an image saved you wish to use you can for example right click an album, select Get Info and drag and drop the artwork over the existing artwork on placeholder and this will populate all songs on the album, if you've selected the entire album.
    Regards,

  • When an album has multiple artist how can you make them show up on an iPod Touch 4G? I can find an artist using the search function but they don't show up in the artist view on my iPod. iTunes shows them OK when you sort by artist.

    Tech support seemed to understand the question but had no answer. Why would an album with only one artist show the artist but an album with multiple artist not show any of them. The album art show various in iTunes. That makes sense but on my iPod I would expect to see all artists.

    Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

  • Sorting songs on an album with multiple artists

    Im trying to sort an album with multiple artists so that in the artist view the song appears under that artist like this:
    The song Young and Beautiful is from The Great Gatsby soundtrack but as its by Lana Del Rey and im in the Artist view I want it here with the rest of Lana Del Rey as opposed to Various Artists. I moved it here by clearing the "album artist" section in the info tab for the song.
    However when I do this and change to Album view, the song doesnt get sorted with the rest of the Great Gatsby soundtrack, istead it is like this:
    How can I have the songs from an album with various artists sorted by Artist in the artist tab and then properly sorted by Album in the Album tab. Ive been playing around with it for a while and I cant work it out.
    Can anyone help me out?

    have you tried to mark the album as a "Compilation" album? Then the songs should sta togeeether in the "Album" view.

  • How do i find out what is behind names like"artist - track1"

    hi guys,
    i'm new to itunes and i'm using it since a week or so, its simply amazing. the bad side is that i recognized that almost 20% of my music has no id3tags. So itunes list them with names like "artist - track4 - album" and so on. but in my explorer view there are still named, so how can i find out which specific file is meant with "artist - track4 - album"??? i mean, is there any way to get a information about the place where the file was before itunes imported and regrouped it in its library??? in the moment i've about 100 tracks wich are named "artist - track4 - album" for example.
    thx and greetz
    André

    i mean, is there any way to get a information about the place where the file was before itunes imported and regrouped it in its library???
    Nope. Short of playing it and recognizing the song, that is.
    This is why it's a good idea to make sure everything is tagged before letting iTunes reorganize it all.
    You can do a Get Info on a track in iTunes and look at the first tab to see what file it's referring to (next to Location:). But that may not be useful.

  • How do I print a list albums sorted by artist

    iTunes 12.1.2.27  Windows 7 SP 1 (64 bit)
    I would like to generate a list of albums in my library sorted by artist.  This used to work fine before I upgraded to iTunes 12 last fall by using File > Print > Album listing / Theme: List of albums. 
    Since the iTunes 12 upgrade the list is generated sorted by album title and not by artist.  I have my View options set to Albums - Sort by Artist them by Title.
    Even though the theme clearly states sorted by artist, it generated a list sorted by album title.  How do I fix this so that it generates what the theme description states?
    Thanks for your help and insight in restoring the old print behavior. 

    Hi ed,
    I am on iTunes 12.1.2.27 ... but what I get is albums sorted by title in both the preview and the output file.  This behavior has been consistent since I upgraded to iTunes 12 ... with iTunes 11 it did work like what you are seeing.  I do think it is some sort of bug ... iTunes 12 was not the smoothest software upgrade I have see.  I did run into a lot of lock-ups and trashing of album art in the 12,0 releases but this latest release (12.1.2.27) seems to be have taken care of most of those issues.
    I might look into doing a complete removal of iTunes and then try a new clean reinstall but I was hoping that maybe there was some setting, or config file parameter, that might fix this..
    Thanks for your response.

  • [iOS][Your Music] Album sort by artist is out of order

    After the 3.4.0.684 update for IOS, the album sort by artist is out of order. It looks like the sort is only factoring in the first letter in the sort as seen below. Can the old sort methodology be put back in.
