Why aren't songs with same album art grouped together?

Yes I know that in itunes help this comes up exatly.... but the method they give you doesnt work.
I was an album purchased from the itunes music store like cmon it ungrouped them its self!
So please help its driving me crazy having 20 songs in different places from the same album and stupid thing is it will rename everything "blank" but it wont add them to a compilation in get info for multiple items.

Hi newobo,
So, you're saying that you tried to follow [this instructions|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468] from Apple, but didn't work?
If so, try sorting the library by "Artist" or "Album". If you don't how to do this, just click once over the correspondent column located above the music list in your iTunes library!
Hope this helps! If you still have doubts or problems, please reply...

"Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?" - Take 2

I've done all the tricks suggested in the doc nu 304389.
I still have some albums splitted in 2 or 3 versions with the same cover art and different songs on each version... How to regroup the rebels??

I've found the solution:
There is sometimes a useless blank space at the end of the name of an album.
Edit the information: in the album field, remove an eventual blank space at the end of the name of the album by backspacing...
Et voilà!

Songs from same album not grouped together.

Hello,
I just received a new ipod nano (the new ones) as a gift and all though i love it i am having some troubles with Itunes 7,
the first problem is that iTunes does not group some songs from the same album together, I made sure that all the album details are the same but still I tunes separates certain songs from the album, In case I am not clear here is a link to a screen shoot:
http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/188/ssngtud2.jpg
As you can see some songs from System of a downs album "Steal this album" are arranged as separate songs, how can I change this?
A second problem I have encountered is with compilation specifically with classical music, ITunes slashes the 10 track album into 10 separate songs, although I marked them all as a part of a compilation and set the preferences to display compilations, screen shots;
http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/2387/ndctt6.jpg
1. Is there any way ITunes can display these tracks together?
2. If I move this album to my IPod (after setting it to display compilations) will it show them together as one album?
Thanks for your help in advance

For your first problem, make absolutely certain that there are no hidden spaces at the end of the Artist or Album fields. Also check track number of and disk number of fields. Finally, and this may be most likely, make sure that you use the same Album Artist for each song (blank, or System of a Down).
For the second issue, make sure all songs on the album are marked as "Part of a Compilation", then sort your library as "Album by Artist" (you may need to click the Album header a few times to see that). The Compilations will then be bumped to the bottom of your library. On your iPod, turn Compilations ON to see similar grouping of compilations.

Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

Hi,
a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
Here's an example:
I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
I discovered something else though:
When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please answer my question?

Songs from the same album not grouped together

Sometimes when I import songs from the same album, they do not show up grouped together. I will end up with several entries, with one or two songs each. Sometimes the correct album art is on each one, and sometimes not. How can I stop this from happening, and how can I correct it if it does?

TV shows with same series number grouped together

I have 2 differnet TV Shows saved in iTunes, Walking Dead Season 1 & 2 and Person of Interest Season 1. Now in iTunes everything is as it should be, they are shown as different shows and the seasons are listed properly. When I sync up my ipad with these shows for some reason its combining season 1 of Walking Dead with Season1 of Person of Interest and Walkind Dead Season 2 on its own. For some reason it sees "Season 1" on each of these programs and thinks they belong together. I've check all the options in "Get Info" and I cant see anything that would make them group together. Has anyone else came across this, is there a fix?

Possibly, found the workaround here:

Songs with the same album art not grouped together in iTunes for Windows

Brand new iTunes user here - do not yet have an iPod! (Needed some music only on iTunes)
When I first started up iTunes, it imported all of my music I already had on my computer. A few of them are soundtracks with different artists.
When they are shown in the iTunes library, the soundtracks have been broken up by Artist instead of staying as a whole album. How do I get the songs back together as one album? I found the folder on my computer where they are stored and combined them there, but they are still separate in the iTunes library.
Thanks from a total newbie!

Mark the tracks on the album as "Part of a compilation" and fill in the Album Artist field as "Various Artists". Click on the first track of your album to highlight it, hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight everything in between. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info. You'll get a message asking if you want to edit multiple items, say yes. If you are using iTunes 8 in the box that opens go to the Options tab and change "part of a compilation" to Yes and choose OK.
Also in your library click on the title bar of album column to bring all the tracks in the same album together. If you keep clicking in the title you can choose it to sort by Album, Album by Artist or Album by Year. Clicking on the little triangle on the right side of the column header changes the sort direction. Pointing up and the column is sorted in Ascending order (A to Z). Pointing down and the column is sorted in Descending order (Z to A).

Windows Media Player in Windows 7 displays the same album art picture for nearly all songs!

Hello,
I have just installed Windows 7 Home Premium as a clean install on my PC. I then imported all my music files back onto the PC and opened up Windows Media Player and found that probably 95% of the songs have the same album cover (Timbaland - Shock Value) against them, instead of how thety were before (either the correct album art, or no album art at all). Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here as it is pretty annoying that nearly every song has the same album art cover.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Parkesian,
I would like to suggest you reset the database for Windows Media Player 12 to check the issue.
Clear the Windows Media Player database
========================================
1. Close Windows Media Player.
2. Press Win + R to open Run, copy "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player" (without the quotation marks) to the Open box and press Enter.
3. In the Media Player folder, delete all of the files.
Note that it is not necessary to remove the folders that are also in this folder.
4. Restart Windows Media Player.
At this point Windows Media Player will automatically rebuild the database.
What’s the result?

Anyway to automatically relink random missing song files in iTunes library? Random songs have "!" while other songs in same album folder are fine.

I can manually relink a missing song by navigating to the album folder in my iTunes media folder where all of my music is stored, but there are hundreds of "missing" songs in my 100+ GB Library. Any way to get iTunes to reconcile the library in a more automated fashion? I am fearful of solutions that may introduce a ton of duplicates.
Would also like to know why this has happened so I can prevent it in future. Why are some songs in an album coming up missing and others in the same root folder playing fine?? It's not like my library is missing, 80% of my music is fine.
My MAC iTunes library is organized by iTunes and all new media is copied into the iTunes folder (which I have "living" on an external USB 500GB hard drive, which I sometimes use with my PC Laptop when I travel - I don't do this often and it has never caused a problem before.)

UPDATE: I contact the developer fo the iTunes Track CPR script just to give him some feedback. His reply, "
Thanks for letting me know. CPR needs a good looking at. But have you tried "Music Folder Files Not Added"?
http://dougscripts.com/466"
I used that script and it found all of the MIA "missing" songs and then added them back to my iTunes library (took about 7 hours to auto add about 2000+ songs.) This process also created duplicates, but I was able to use the "Manage Duplicates" feature of iTunes under the File menu to see a list of all duplicates; then I deleted all of the songs with the"!" next to their names (took about 45 minutes.)
So I think in the end this did save me a lot of time and aggrevation.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Chris!

Label song with mulitiple albums

Below is a suggestion I have to improve iTunes. If you agree, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html and fill out the form with information about the suggestion to let Apple know that you want to see this feature in the next version of iTunes. If you want to improve upon this suggestion, please post you improvement on this thread so that others may have the benefit of your suggestion and may also suggest it to Apple.
What I believe would be extremely useful in iTunes is the ability to label a song as being on more than one album. The point of this would be that some identical songs are on different albums. Let's take for instance an artist who has several albums (like the Beatles) and several compilaltion, number ones, or greatest hits albums. Usually there is nothing special about the songs on the compilation albums, they are just duplicates of the ones on the original albums. If a person owns all of them and has stored them on their computer, then, in order to keep albums together, he or she has to have duplicate songs stored. In other words, if I wanted to listen to one album at some time and then a compilation cd with songs from the orginal album at some other time, I have to have two copies of the same song with different album labels just so I can listen to the complete albums. This can take up a lot of disk space (which is a very important consideration on an iPod, even the new 80gb models). In order to save disk space I can delete all my duplicates, but then I will have albums that are not complete when I listen to them because they have songs that are also on another album.
So please make it possible to label one song as being on more than one album. So when I browse by album, it will show up under each album. When I browse by artist or randomly, it can show that it is on multiple albums. This would be incredibly useful.

How can I display a compilation album as one album rather than as separate songs? (each different artist shows with the same album art)

I want a compilation album, consisting of different artists, to all be included within the one album folder. Currently when scrolling through my ipod classic each artist has its own album folder, even though they originate from the same album e.g. "The Best Rock 'n' Roll Album in the World Ever" consists of two discs (50 songs). Each artist's song shows as a 'separate album' of one song, each with the same album artwork. I want all of those on Disc 1 to be under one album cover and similarly for those on Disc 2.

Select all the tracks on disc 1 and via Get Info, change the Album Artist to Various Artists and turn on the compilation flag. This is iTunes 12:
Then repeat for disc 2.

Grayed out, unplayable songs and missing album art on iPhone after 5.1 update with iTunes 10.6

I have been having these problems on my iPhone since the above updates. First, the grayed out songs: I have my iTunes account set to sync over the air with wifi. I charge my iPhone overnight, but sometimes when I unplug the iPhone in the morning, a great majority of the songs get grayed out and unplayable. I can see the songs listed, but they don't play. I then have to sync the iPhone on my iMac in iTunes to enable all the grayed out songs to be re-copied to the iPhone. As if that isn't inconvenient enough, I now am encountering missing album art for every song on my iPhone. All the album art exists in my iTunes account on my iMac, but I can't get the album art to appear on my iPhone. This literally happened overnight one day ago and I can't figure out how to get the album art back. I do have sufficient storage space on my iPhone, so that possible explanation is eliminated.
Re: the grayed out songs: what is causing this and is there any way to avoid it?
Re: the missing album art: again, what is causing it and how can I restore the art to my iPhone?

Unfortunately, the only solution to this problem was to restore my iPhone. Many hours later, the problem was resolved, but for how long?

Can someone help with an album art issue???

I am using iTunes 9.....this problem was in iTunes 8 too....but anyway....when i get a new album I make a new playlist and put the album in the playlist......and when I click the arrow that pulls out the sidebar to view the album art for the album each song has its own icon for album art.....but I would like the entire playlist to have one icon because they're all off of the same album......how might i manage this??
heres a link to another forum with pictures of what I'm talking about:
http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=199060

I've dealt with that space after a title issue before, but usually with artist names. If the space after the title is different for different tracks, they are not identical, that's why my advice was to change them all at the same time.
I periodically scroll through my artists and albums in the column browser looking for just that sort of issue, because if they're not identical in itunes, they're going to be separated on my ipod.
And while I love making convoluted playlist systems myself, I agree with the unsolicited advice on separate playlists for every album. You are going to see slower loading times eventually.
