Album artist vs artist

Similar Questions

• My iTunes is a collection of songs with the same artist, the same album artist and the same album separately. How can I fix it?

  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? I put a lot of effort in organizing my collection and I hate to see 15 sections 'Lil Wayne' in my artist entry or right of the complete discography of Paul McCartney by Paul McCartney with 1 song. I tried to edit all the files together, intentionally misspelling the name and spelling then it right once again, but it do not work and that the use of work well, but it doesn't seem to work.

  If iTunes displays multiple instances of an artist or an album then generally what works is to select all the associated tracks and use read information to add say end X for each of the areas that the slopes have in common:

  • For an album. Album, artist of the Album and artist (if the artist is the same for all tracks) *.
  • For an artist; Album artist (artist and unless there is the comments/featured artists listed that should not be changed)

  Apply the change which merges things together, then remove the excess characters. Occasionally, it can help to close and reopen iTunes between two renaming operations. Part of a compilation should also be set in a consistent manner.

  * If the titles must be synchronized to a non - iOS device, there should be a common artist and/or album must be defined as a Compilation.

  Use the view of songs and display fields, Album, genre, Album, Album artist, genre artist Album, artist and genre artist side by side to see you whether or not it is necessary to change the artist and if sorting values could be the cause of additional problems. See grouping in albums, titles for help if necessary.

  Another tip duplicates stubborn reality. At one point, I had three batches of various artists in the view of artists in my iTunes game library that wouldn't meet usual backward X treatment. What I found worked was adding the final X, but with each group, iTunes wanted to separate start typing a value and let iTunes autocomplete of the Var... for various artists. Collection of AutoComplete lists seemed to work when the full value of collage/montage does not.

• Songs from the album split into separate albums/artists, even with the same name

  I have three songs from the album, all by the same artist, but for a reason, that they aren't bringing together under the same album or artist on iTunes. All the songs are listed separately under different artists even if the name of the artist (and album) is exactly the same:

  

  The same artist and album has duplicated only three times.

  I made sure all the info of the song are exactly the same as here:

  

  And sorting is the same too:

  

  So I don't know what else to do.

• iTunes sorts only the new songs from the album artist; Cannot select multiple artists

  I had this problem for awhile now.  Whenever I have add a new song to my library, it will sort as a new artist, even if I already have this artist.  For example, I'll add a new Bayside song to my library, and despite the fact that I already have two albums of Bayside, the new song will sort itself separately from him, leaving me with two Baysides.  The only way to fix it is to add the album artist in both the novel and the stuff I already had.  It's incredibly frustrating, especially since iTunes allow me to select several artists both in the artist's view (although I can select several songs and albums - this seems to be a problem only when the view is the sidebar, as in the views of artist, Genre and composer).

  Help with fixing a problem (preferably both, although) it would be appreciated.

  I am currently using iTunes 12.3.2.

  It's a response of turingtest2 to a very similar to your question.  Maybe this will help.

  12 iTunes keeps having the same artist twice in the artist column

  Using the view songs grab all the tracks by an artist of the album given that you are having problems with and then read the information. Tab sort add set Album artist & artist album, X, click OK, and then return to . If you synchronize your content on a non - iOS such as classical iPod device, then you must also make sure artist is constant in the whole album. I propose generally invited and artists featured in the names of individual songs.

• The reunion album artist is no longer possible?

  Hello

  I installed iTunes 12.3.2.35 and adding new albums/titles, sorting is all wrong.

  I group my music by "album artist" (by example a "3 albums, 27 tracks' Artist); for collaborations (e.g. 'artist and artist B' like 'artist'), I put the "album artist" to"artist" so the collaborative album appears with the other albums under the artist of the album "artist A.

  Same for all the various tracks, I put 'various' as "album artist" while they are all grouped together.

  I just did the same thing for some newly imported other titles, changed the album artist so they would be grouped together, but now they are published separately:

  for example the artist a (newly added album), above the artist has (all previously added albums)

  for example various (1 newly added track), above various (597 tracks)

  How can I combine them together again as an "album artist"?

  Thank you!

  Look for the values defined in the type Album artist who could break the grouping.

• Windows Media Player 12 loses album artist information when you use WHS .wav

  There seems to be a bug in WMP 12 who loses the album artist information when you use a WHS .wav files.

  Installation - WMP 12 on Windows 7 ultimate. WHS pp3. Music files stored in .wav format.

  There is a marking Wav format is possible. I read on Broadcast Wav files. They are 32-bit. I also read on 64-bit Wav files. What I read there is a limit to the size of the files Wav 32-bit and 64-bit Wav files exceed this limit. Most of the people don't need now. But as a producer of music, I can see how me should before you. Look for a program called reason by Propellerhead software: http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/. I ' v read in their help file, you can send support and they will help you find what you need. I've also read about this and said a little on other internet forums for producers. I have no reason, I use another software.

  Broadcast Wav: He is apparently slightly different than regular Wav files. It doesn't have as much support. Some programs or systems apparently don't read the id3 tags, have trouble with the id3 tags or have trouble with this format. So until this id3 Wav tagging is common and Wav files EVENTUALLY get their marking permanently, then what is out at the moment is all that is available.

  WMA lossless, Wav and mp3 320 kbps, etc. have a difference in sound. Listen for yourself on your device with the SAME material and the SAME Ripper programs your test files.

  The other way I tested is: I make music. Then I tore, Wav, WMA Lossless and a type of lossless, mp3 320 Kbps and mp3 256 kbps. I put all the them in the music program, I separated, but on the same timeline. I cut everything that I did not listen. I spent some time checking them. There were notable and other differences not so. I noticed a difference in the WMA and WAV. It's light and sometimes noticeable. Most people cannot tell the difference, and an MA at home or in a club from a Wav will not be a huge difference, especially when a Dj, or you can set low, the midrange and treble slightly.

  I couldn't test the AAC lossless files. My program is old and can't stand them. AAFC would however close to WMA. Give or take.

  WAV is a champion and always the wins service. I wish he was marking. :-).

  Windows Media Player has a certain set of algorithms. And one CAN customize the tear. Some ripping programs ALLOW you to customize the way in which he is torn. But you can run into problems. For example: some compression or equalizer settings are perfect for 90% of an album, but most of the songs are recorded differently or edited and mixed differently. If they are not always level throughout the album, and there may be some fluctations.

  I myself would enjoy tears to measure for a better quality and even be able to MAXIMIZE the lossless or compressed (for example: mp3) formats and make their the best sound possible. But it takes too long, and most people don't have this time or need this. These people do as a profession, are HARDCORE audiophiles or archive sound for a much higher use,:-P.

  I don't know what are the algorithms of WMP to rip. ITunes or WinAmps, etc.. It comes to be able to do custom tears. These algorithms affect your copy, transfer and archiving. This is another reason why each program is slightly different, even when they use the same open or not open source coding.

  That's what I'v has learned. It's the best I got.

• album artist containing titles list

  I have itunes 12.4.3 and this strange question: when I select artists on the sidebar, I get to the right of the sidebar, a column with the artists in alphabetical order. But sometimes I see in this album titles artist column instead of the name of the artist.

  I tried by changing the information with 'get info' (artist, album, albumartist instead), but nothing has worked.

  Oddly enough: the title of the album appears in the order of "right" of the artist, registration, as if itunes recognizes the artist without displaying.

  I think it may have to do with false tags?

  Any suggestions?

  You can post a screenshot showing an example?

• An album of a single artist divided into several albums

  Hello

  My problem is the following:

  I have UN Justice album that contains 2 pieces (Randy and Safe & Sound). These 2 songs have the same artist name, album, year, etc. In the categories in detail and sorting, 2 pieces have exactly the same information. Besides, when I display albums rated from my library, the 2 pieces are on the same album.

  Revenge of en, what I used to do, when I display artists face in my library, there are 2 artists 'Justice '. Artist of UN Justice with the album containing only the first song, and artist of second United Nations Justice who him a piece of the album with only the second.

  This problem is accurate, but it is also the case with other artists and other albums in my iTunes library.

  How can I gather the 2 pieces so that they are on the same album of the same artist when I line my library by artists have?

  I have a CD called "The Party Greatest of All Time" or something like that. It is an album by various artists.

• Not showing in the artists Split album

  10.11.5 OSX iTunes 12.4.1.6

  I imported the 4 songs from the same artist/album in iTunes. They are listed under recently added under a single album called something like Unknown Album. I selected all the 4 songs and clicked on to read information. I changed the artist and the artist of the album in his own name. I changed the album under his own name. I selected the right kind and added to the year. I filled that there are 4 tracks of the album, filled in that it was the CD 1 of 1 and has not checked all the boxes. I added album work and clicked OK.

  Recently added, all the 4 songs now show with the right information. I then went in and read the information on each piece individually and entered the appropriate track number and click OK.

  The album shows as expected under recently added, Albums and Genres. However, when I look at the album under artists, the artist is here 4 times, all showing the same album, with 1 song under each heading. When I look at the first entry, it shows 1 song that bears the number "1". The second album shows 1 entry that has the number '2' and so on.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  You can not. My approach is to use the < Album > - < Album artist > scheme under the name of the album when the same title is used by more than one album.
