Wrong track order in ipod

My ipod has the wrong track order for at least three different albums of three different artists. Its only one song on each of the albums. All the album info is correct and in itunes the songs are all in the right order. I've restored the ipod twice to no avail. Any ideas

the only thing I can suggest is make sure your playlists are in the right order when syncing, so maybe have your albums in the right order when syncing? I know my purchased playlist is in whatever order I sorted it last...usually by play count. SO my most played song is at the top of that playlist. Maybe it works like that for albums too, so make sure the songs on the album are sorted by track #

  • Itunes U wrong track order

    My itunes U collections have the tracks in the wrong order.
         all information on the "info panel" is the same
         titles are ordered my number
    I've tried all the fixes that pop up online: edit the album number, the track number, album artist etc etc
    Any tips on how to order the different files by name in itunes U ?
    Thanks!

    You have one of the OTHER columns besides the first one selected and are sorting by that column. For example, if you sort a CD by song title, it will remember that sorting for all CDs you put in.
    So click on the top off the track number column to resort by track order again.

  • Why does itunes load cds in the wrong track order

    why does this happen and can it be sorted cheers

    iTunes imports CDs in track order, first to last.  iTunes displays these tracks in your music library based on how you select your library to be viewed.  For example, in list view you can select the "date added" column and see the tracks in the order they were imported (with the most recent on top).  You can select the name colum and see all the tracks in alphabetical order.  You can select the album column and see the tracks in album order.  The album column cycles from album, to album by artist, or album by artist/year as you click on the column title.

  • Wrong track order

    Hey,
    sometimes when I'm importing a burned CD the track order is mixed up, and when I put it on my iTunes I can't figure out how to put the songs in the right order. When they're in My Library it's not possible to move them around, is there some way to do this?
    thanks in advance!

    theviolet_hour,
    Welcome to Discussions,
    Your info says you're using Mac OS 9. If that's correct, you're probably using iTunes 2.
    I haven't used that version for a long time and don't know if everything what I'm writing next also applies to the version you're using.
    Anyway, you can't move tracks in your library. The only way to move the tracks in the correct order is to put them in a playlist, sort on the leftmost column (with the numbers) and drag them in the correct position.
    A better solution is to be sure the tracks already are in the correct order when importing the CD. Before clicking the 'Import CD' button, sort on the leftmost column and be sure the small triangle in the column header points upwards.
    If you want to correct the track order of already imported CDs, you will have to set the track numbers of each track manually.
    Select a track and Get Info (command-I), click the Info tab (if it applies to your version) and set the track number.
    Hope this helps.

  • Wrong track order on import

    Hi Everybody-
    Usually I can fix this problem but this one CD stumped me and I can't get the tracks in order on iTunes 11 ( which *****, IMHO)
    If I change setting to import time/date then the tracks line up fine but that changes the order of the artists and I like them alphabetized.
    So...  What am I doing wrong ? I've already spent an hour on this and re-imported the cd.
    Thanks

    When I have issues importing CD's on iTunes, I use Music Brainz.
    Its scans the files, organize the id3 tag, covers etc.
    Hope that helps

  • Track order issues

    I'm having this trouble with itunes and track orders:
    Lately all cds that I've added to my collection got the wrong track order, the last song showing right after the first. I'm pretty sure all tracks share the same metadata for artist, album artist, album, etc.
    So for this CD with 8 tracks the order itunes shows is 1-8-2-3-4-5-6-7. Same for two cds with 10 tracks (1-10-2-3..). I tried changing the artist/album info for the misplaced track but it always goes back to the wrong order when I fix it.
    And oddly this only happens when I sort by album by artist. The order is correct when I sort by album only.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    on the iPod: there's an album that appears 3 times on iPod with exactly the same songs while in itunes it's fine! what the **** is this? Can anyone help me?
    Likely you just need to do a restore on the iPod, let it format and resync and it should be fine.

    since i have a 8Gb iPod nano 3G and a 20Gb AND I would like to use the automatic Sync with the iPod i created a new library in iTunes where i'll have only 8Gb of stuff. Seems like a good idea to just plug the iPod and it syncs automatically with the stuff I've already chosen,
    No that is a fairly inefficient way to do it. iTunes can tell your iPods apart, so all you have to do is sync them to the same library and for the Nano, set it up to sync a playlist of what you want.
    Instead of creating a whole new library, just create a playlist in iTunes with that same set of music in it. Not only will you only have one library, but you can now easily add things or delete thing from that playlist out of your main library.
    Then plug in the Nano and set it up to sync only that playlist. Simple!

    Just another thing... can any of you advise me on a good auto-MP3 tagger application (for free!)?? I had a really good one for WinXP - Magic MP3 Tagger - but it's not available for Mac and i think it would resolve the track ordering issues!
    iTunes is free and is a pretty good MP3 tagger.

  • Track order wrong even with "artist-album" sort

    I've been having this problem ever since upgrading to iTunes 7 and I was a hard core non-updater until I bought a new computer and had to.
    When I sort by Album, the tracks aren't in order. When I sort by "Album-Artist" most are in track order except compilation CDs which had been ripped with Windows Media Player (before my iPod days). When I moved my music to my new computer I forgot to uncheck that little box next to let iTunes do my sorting and it sorted my compilation CDs by artist. Is this why I can't get them in order? More importantly, am I going to have to re-rip all these compilation CDs to get them in order? Is there a good trick to get these compilations tagged correctly? They're all double disks from Germany so I'm worried I'll have to do it by hand.

    Album art issue?
    (Just a SWAG, but AA has caused these kinds of issues before). Try this -- in iTunes (not in a standalone editor, which may be editing the wrong format tags) select all the songs in the album and make sure they all have the same album name and artist name. Then copy and paste into the album art box the album art (I use albumart.org, but Amazon.com is also a good source for copying). This will store your art into the song rather than album (assuming you may have gotten your art from iTunes).
    Reset your phone, restore your phone, and then resync. That ought to do it.

  • IPod changes Track Order upon transfer

    Okay, so, when I import a new album into iTunes and then transfer it to my iPod, the iPod will not keep the track order, no matter what I do in iTunes beforehand. I make sure that the album is organized by track before transfer, but after I disconnect my iPod, track 5 becomes track 1, and all kinds of craziness. When i connect the iPod to my computer again, I notice that the track numbers are correct (1 of 10 is still 1 of 10) but that they are in the wrong order (1 of 10 follows 5 of 10, which is follwed by 2 of 10). Why does the iPod do this, and how can i fix or stop it?
    Thanks,
    -dan

    highlight all of the tracks in the cd *hold shift,click first track* then *hold shift,click last track*
    then hold *control, I* set the disc number to "1 of 1" it might work. That's all I can think of at the moment.

  • How do I get my iPhone to play all albums by any given artist in consecutive album track order like it does on an iPod?

    When I select an artist on my iPod Classic and then select "all albums," I can play multiple albums consecutively without losing the track order of each individual album.  On my iPhone 4S, however, when I select an artist there's only the option to select "all songs," and it lists all the tracks alphabetically and plays them in that order, making it impossible to listen to one album followed by another.  It isn't a problem if I select one album at a time, as the tracks then remain in their original order from the album, but it won't keep the proper orderings if I want to play all of the music by an artist and select "all songs."  Is there some way to change it so that when I view all tracks by an artist I can see them and play them in their original intended track order, not in the alphabetical listing order? 

    Delete the file and re-download again.

  • Do out of order iTunes 11 tracks sync to iPod?

    The upgrade to iTunes 11 caused various albums to show out of order track listsings in expanded view.  We haven't re-synced our iPod to iTunes since the update for fear that this mis-ordering will be brought over to the iPod.
    Will the new track ordering move to the iPod on sync?
    Is there any way to force the old ordering?
    We've looked at a lot of solutions on line, none have helped, they're for previous versions.  We see a correlation between the albums we ripped from CD and the ones that are mis-ordered.
    All help appreciated!!

    I just reformatted the files to MP3 and it took care the problem.

  • Track order changing on ipod since updating to itunes7

    after upgrading to itunes7, i updated my ipod, to find that on some of my albums the track order had changed. for example, track 7 would be before track 1.
    i dont understand why its happening, as the track order on my itunes library is correct.
    someone had a similar problem with track order changing but it was happening to their itunes library. heres the link for that http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=663895&tstart=15
    i left a post on that thread to see if i get any replies from that.
    i use windows xp and have a fat colour display ipod.
    can anyone help me out?
    thanx

    I'm experiencing the same issue: iTunes (7.0.1.8) OK, iPod (5th gen) some albums messed up. Checked album settings, e.g. 'Artist', 'Album artist', 'track numbers' and reimported album, etc., however, so far unsatisfactorily. Did you manage to solve the problem?

  • Track order is wrong and locked

    I recently downloaded the "Some Cities" album by Doves from iTMS. Three of the tracks were tagged as being part of Doves' Celebrity Playlist, despite not being so. I changed the album name and the cover art of the three tracks in question, but they still remain firmly wedded to the top of the play listing, out of the albums original order.
    I've checked the track order fields on the Track Information box and that checks out as accurate, so there's no reason why the tracks shouldn't play in the correct order. Any help?
    Thanks.

    I also have had this problem on two different tracks I've purchased on Itunes. I tried contacting Apple about it, but they didn't offer any solution. They suck.

  • Album track order in iTunes

    Hello, I have a problem with a few downloaded albums.
    I had downloaded album tracks off the net into album folders in My Music. The tracks were numbered. After importing the albums (folders) into my iTunes library, & updating my iPod with those, I see that in both the iPod & iTunes the tracks are in the wrong order. They are however, in correct order in their folders (in MY Music).
    Any ideas how I can remedy this?

    Try this, I found that it works for me. Right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose **Track Number** from the list. Click at the top of this new column to sort it and after that click on the Album column. If you like you can then click on Artist which is how I prefer mine ordered, it will continue to hold the track order as well. Afterwards anything you import should follow this arrangement Artist>Album>Track Number within Album (you can hide the track number column when you've done if you don't want it cluttering up the view)

  • "Complete My Album" track order problem

    Hello everybody,
    I downloaded several tracks from Billy Joel's "The Stranger" in January. Just a few days ago, I decided to "Complete My Album." When I downloaded the remaining tracks, the tags were slightly different, resulting in two entries in my iTunes library. The old tracks had "The Stranger (Remastered)" in the Album field; the new tracks simply said "The Stranger." So I changed the tags on the new tracks to make sure they matched the old ones. Now, they are displayed properly as one entry, except the tracks are in the wrong order. I checked all the fields, including Album Artist, Artist, Track number, Sort Album...any that would affect the order...to make sure they matched. I selected all of the tracks and manually reentered the information. Whatever I tried to do, I could not get the tracks to display in the correct order (in iTunes, or the iPod it was synced to.) The new tracks stubbornly sit atop the old tracks, no matter what I do to them. I also noticed that when I press the little grey arrow next to the new tracks, it links me to the proper page on iTunes. When I do the same with the old tracks, I get an error that says "Could not complete your request. These songs are no longer available in the U.S. store." I contacted iTunes support, and they had no idea what the problem was. They told me to post here. So here I am, hoping that there is some iTunes genius who knows what is going on. I'm assuming that there is some secondary tag information that I can't access that takes precedence over the ID3 listings. Any clues? Please forgive my incredibly verbose question, but I just wanted to give a clear picture of the situation. Thanks for your help.

    Ahh... yep, that was it. Never would've even bothered to change those, because I didn't think it would effect the track order..
    ^_^ Thanks a bunch.

  • Track order incorrect

    I have a couple albums on my iPod where the track order is listed incorrectly. The track order used to be correct very recently (not exactly sure when, probably about a week ago). When I sync with iTunes and click under my iPod the tracks are displayed in the correct order, but then once I disconnect the iPod the tracks go back to the wrong order. Any ideas?

    Try going right clicking on the song and go to Get Info and change the info to what you want it to be so that it goes in the right order.
