Viewing Artists / Albums in a playlist

This is really annoying me;
When I create and then select a playlist in itunes I can view all the artists and album information as normal.
But when I select that playlist on my ipod I am just presented with track names.
Is there a way of changing this so that I can open a playlist and then select an album or artist?
Cheers in advance.

No.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

Petition : View by (artist/album/etc) option for playli

the songs in my player are of two languages, so I have two playlists for songs of each language. Each of these playlists consists of thousands of songs. So selecting specific songs while playing any playlist becomes a big headache, since I cant search the playlist according to artist or album.
I would love to have the 'view by' functionality for playlists also, something that can make big playlists look like libraries.
So, if u ppl agree with me please sign!

I am talking about the player not the software.
Saving different libraries definitely comes handy if ur collection contains songs of multiple languages, and u want to organise them separately. By giving playlists the option of viewing by artist/album/genre, ur basically turning the playlists into libraries.

When I search a music artist in the itunes store and then click to view all albums the screen is blank.

When I search a music artist in the itunes store and then click to view all albums the screen is blank. Why is itunes store not showing me all of the Albums?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

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,

When viewing multiple item information, I was wondering what the checkboxes next to "Artist", "Album Artist", etc... are used for.

When checked, it means that you are going to apply whatever is in the box to all of the selected items.

HT1535 how do i transfer music to my iPhone album/artist list from my playlist

only allowed to transfer music to my playlist on my iphone using itunes 11.1 ever since upgrading to 11.1... How do I get it to my regular music list on my iphone?

Thanks for your help but still no answer for me . I am able to sync an album into my Iphone but the problem is that it goes into my playlist section on my phone and not my Artist/Album section.

[All Platforms][Playlists] Please restore View as Album List feature

View as Album List was a great feature. Based on comments I have seen on other forums, I am not the only one who thinks so. Please restore this feature. Reasons:1) Images are much easier to see than text. I have reached the age of reading glasses. Before this feature was removed, I could easily find songs / albums in playlists. Now I have to find my glasses beforehand! 2) Images are much more compelling and attractive than text. A picture tells a thousand words etc. The whole look and feel of Spotify is enhanced through the use of album images. Removing them seems like going against good user experience practice. 3) Nostalgia. Although I love Spotify and I firmly believe that subscription is the future of music, I still feel some nostalgia for "possessing" a collection of albums. Displaying album covers reinforces the feeling of having a collection of albums in a playlist. Note that all three arguments apply equally to desktop and iPad versions of Spotify. November 2013: Response to the comments from Spotify...- There is no need for a cmd+G control. All playlists should always display the album cover.- The Collections product was announced almost a year ago but there is no sign of it.- A Collections product that simply displays the thousands of albums that I have ever listened to is not a viable solution in my opinion. I would need multiple collections (i.e.. playlists). May-2014I have created a new idea http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Display-Album-Cover-on-Your-Music-Songs/idi-p/791029 requesting cover art on your music (and playlists). Please give it your kudos. July 2015I note that Apple Music displays album art on playlists on all platforms.

Again - We shouldn't have to vote about stuff like this. Of course there should be an album list. And it should also be obvious how to enable it, not just with a keyboard command or obscure menu option. Also - please consider an album view in the mobile apps as well. I have a lot of playlists with just albums, and they are a pain in the ass to use on the Iphone / Ipad.

View Movies by Artist / Album tag info

I recently converted several home movies to apple format and synced to my IPOD Classic 80GB. These videos work pefectly and play fine from the IPOD! (this is the good news)
The bad news is that I spent a lot of time editing tag information about these movies, and in iTunes it lets me navigate using this information, but on the iPod it does not. It lists all the videos in alphabetical order. I have one big list. I was hoping to be able to search by Artist/Album just like music is done.
I noticed Music Videos are sortable this way, anyone know what setting i can use to make these music videos? I do not want to do this, but will if that is my only option.
Thanks!

No, that's why I suggested the alternative of using TV Shows. I suppose you could change the artist to something like *Artist \[Vids]* so that all music videos end up in a separate menu for the artist

Why are all of my artists/albums/playlists in random order after using iTunes Match?

I enabled iTunes match some months ago. I have almost everythign uploaded or matched from my library. But when I open the music app on my phone all of the artists are in seemingly random order. This is not an issue with the sort order naming in the meta data. I have no idea what is causing it. The artists, albums, everything is completely out of order. Furthermore, a lot of the songs are completley misslabeled. I will try to play a Death Cab For Cutie song for instance and it starts playing kanye west.
Is there any way to completely redo my iTunes Match? I can't seem to figure it out and I'm tired of a service that I am paying for giving me very little performance.

If you have AppleCare on your iPhone then call Apple, it's baically the only way you will get help on that front. Tell them about the issues. After a little while of trouble shooting they should pass you to a senior technician.
What trouble shooting have you done?
If you haven't done so already, Apple will request you to do it while they have you on the phone. Also, do not restore from a backup, set it up as a new device.

Organize iTunes file list by Directory Structure instead of artist/album?

Hello, I have searched for different audio players for os x which might have this feature but so far have had no luck. What I'm looking for is a feature similar to that of foobar2000 for win32 where I can organize my music by directory structure without the iTunes automatic organization by artist/album. Is there a way I can accomplish this in iTunes with some sort of xml config or hidden options? Thanks.

You don't have to have iTunes move music around on your hard drive (Preferences>Advanced>General, uncheck Keep iTunes Music folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library) but I suspect that's not what you're asking. You can't automatically view music from within iTunes by directory structure. iTunes organizes by ID3 tags ("mp3 tags"). You could, I suppose, spend a lot of time replicating your directory structure by using folders and playlists within iTunes but you'd probably have to do it all by hand.
You could check out Doug's Scripts to see if there are some scripts that might help.

Sorting Albums in a Playlist by Title???

I created a Smart Playlist and when I change the grid view, the albums sort by Artist only and I cannot figure out how make them sort by Album Title.
Can anybody help?

Music Player S^3 artist&album

I recently got a C6-01 and am very happy with the phone overall. There are a few questions I have about the way the music player deals with the library though.
1) Why do songs get categorised in the (Unknown/Unknown) category when the artist is known but the album isn't? This is rather annoying because there are quite a lot of tracks in the library that only have the artist information set, but they don't show up in the artist listing.
2) Can I select to play all the songs from a particular artist (without creating a playlist out of them) regardless of the album info? Again this would be very helpful since some of the tracks won't have the album info, and sometimes I just want to listen to a particular artist and not care so much about which album the tracks are on.
Neither one of these should be a problem technically, so am I just missing some menu item to get it done or is it not possible?
Thanks.

There are two "Artist" fields in the ID3 information in each track - a track artist and an album artist (this allows for compilation albums where a single singer or group did not make all of the tracks on the album), if some of these fields are not filled in, you may see strange things like this when viewing the tracks in the phone's music player. You can edit the track details in Ovi Player (they need to be copied to your PC, amended then compied back).

Presently, no. This is an omission from the S^3 music player that needs to be put right.

My itunes video playlists (grid view) keep changing to audio playlists

I'm using iTunes 10.7 and stream a lot of movies to my AppleTV. I have video playlists and the AppleTV recognizes them as such.
Lately, my video playlists, in the poster art (grid) view, have been changing to audio playlists and changing the order of the files from alphabetized by Title, to alphabetized by Artist. The buttons at the top of the playlist - "Movies Genres Unwatched" have changed to "Albums Artists Genres Composers"
If I create a new playlist, it retains the video qualities until I select another playlist, then it changes to the audio playlist, when I select it again.
The titles are all out of sequence, on the Apple TV - reflecting the setting on the poster view setting (e.g. "Artist") on the itunes playlist.
What do I have to do the get the playlists to retain the video characteristics?

thanks. i got it.

Artists/albums/songs list too long! Shortcut?

Hi,
I've got so many artists in my iPod's list, it takes me far too long to find songs. Not so bad when you're walking around, but terrible when I'm in the car with the iTrip and I'm trying to find a song!
Is there any way I can break the Artists/Albums/Songs lists down into like.. A-K, L-Z? Or jump to a particular letter faster than 1 line at a time? I have looked in the settings but I can't find anything relevant.
If this isn't possible, maybe it would be a good idea for a future iPod feature?
Thanks!

It isn't about how many tunes - rather the size of the files.
Look at the bottom of the iTunes window when viewing a playlist - it will show you number of tunes, time of playlist and the size of the entire playlist.
