Artist tri - iTunes 12.3

Hello

My iTunes is a little messed up and for a few months now. Whenever I have add a new song, it sorts as a new artist, even if they have exactly the same name (I checked all the different fields etc.) So that means that I found with about 8 variations of the artist, who seems very messy. It will happen on the albums as well.

Any help on this one? Looking for similar problems, but couldn't find a solution.

Thank you.

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 the information to add say an end X for each of the areas of the slopes have in common:

  • For an album. Album, Album artist, and artist (if the artist is the same for all tracks) *
  • For an artist; Album artist (and the artist unless there are comments/featured artists listed which 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.

* If the titles must be synchronized to a non - iOS device, there should be a common artist or the 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. I had three batches of various artists in the view of artists in my iTunes game library the other day that would not respond to usual treatment X back. 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.

  • How to merge artists in iTunes 12

    Anyone know how to properly merge artists in iTunes 12?

    The question: "Pearl Jam" lists as distinct to in iTunes 12.3 artists artists, as if it were a separate, different artist. I went in sort mode songs and apparently changed artist, Album artist, genre artist and genre artist Album all to Pearl Jam, closed iTunes and reopened and the problem persists. Individual music files are all under Pearl Jam in the file Finder system. Boring!

    Try to enter all tracks from Pearl Jam at the same time, change the same four fields to Pearl JamX, apply the change and then remove the back X.

  • Combining artists in iTunes 12

    I'm having the problem that 12 iTunes creates multiple versions of the same artist. I am aware of the order read, to use Album artist to variations/group camps, and I checked the name of the artist is exactly (no extra spaces, etc.). I tried to make changes to individual tracks, albums and even the artist, but so far without success to get all the objects under a name of artist. Indeed, during this process, I created another version of the artist for a total of three!

    I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 and iTunes 12.3.2.35

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Are you only interested if other people have this problem? If so, the answer is probably 'yes' and we can leave it at that.

  • How can I find the bio artist in iTunes 12.5?

    I like to read about the artists that I love.

    I'm able to easily find this information in Spotify, for example, but I can't find it in iTunes.

    Please notify

    iTunes has really such a feature at the present time, there have been experiences in earlier versions. You can right-click on an artist or album, then go to > view in iTunes Store. Albums usually have comments and sometimes there will be a full biography of an artist or group.

  • I downloaded the version 12.3.2 for soundcards and now the itunes screen is gtichy and will not always be tried itunes support but keep get tossed

    Hi anyone know of a fix for this?

    Temporary solution: on screens high resolution more than 2048 pixels wide, the iTunes window should be reduced to a smaller size.  Do not run maximized.  Reduce the iTunes window until the store renders correctly.

    This seems to be a rendering problem with higher resolution monitors.

    My current resolution is 2560 x 1440, Windows 10 Pro, iTunes 12.3.2.35.  iTunes Store and the new tab will correctly display up to a resolution of about 2048 pixels wide iTunes. Something more broad than, the windows starts to go crazy.

    I think it has to do with the selections of 'Featured' album and artist at the top of the browser.  I think that he can't shoot correctly past 2048 pixels.  And since it is a number of base 2 (2 ^ 11), it is probably a mistake to programming in the iTunes browser.

    I talked to a "Michele" thanks to the support of Apple, and she documented everything I found and selected as a bug.

  • iTunes is not bringing together the pieces of the same artist.

    I have 2 songs by the same artists in iTunes and I went in get info and made sure that everything matches and selected both and re-written information about the artist but iTunes don't group them.

  • iTunes 12.4 missing "Sort by artist."  Only sorts by the artist of the album.

    I spent hours to be arranged by library to be able to change the field name, rather than name, artist name.  (If I want to find Buddy Holly, I look under B, not H).  Then, I could choose to sort by artist.  (And BTW, stop the Match completely, because just renames all of what he wants.)

    Today, I downloaded itunes 12.4 and it immediately destroys all my work.  I'm happy to be proven wrong here, but we have lost the ability to choose how to sort.  ITunes is the culprit to sorting by artist Album when you access a list of artist.  Is no longer, we can deal with the field of the artist.  Why must iTunes make it so difficult?

    Can someone tell me if I'm missing something?  Thank you.

    Since the introduction of the Album artist field (iTunes 7) sort by artist has been controlled by the first non-empty value of: Type Album artist , Album artist, Genre artist, artist.

    In general I expect to see Buddy Holly in the artist and fields artist album and the sort fields empty. It usually takes an extra effort to fill in the fields to sort with a scheme such as < name >, < name > as typical iTunes and Gracenotes deliver information such as < name > < name >.

  • 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 has stopped working" Win 10

    Hi all

    iTunes worked very well for me in Win10, until the last update. (12.3.3.17) now, whenever I run iTunes, I get the message "iTunes has stopped working" and the program stops. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the program as detailed here...

    Troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates

    .. .but the program still "stops working."

    My system Win10 House, 64-bit, all of the updates. iTunes is 64 bits, too.

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    I had a lot of problem with my iTunes crashing / freezing - up after I've upgraded to the latest version also.

    In my case, the symptoms were different, but after trying many possible solutions, which had no effect at all, I discovered the following post useful here:

    Empty/corrupted library iTunes after upgrade/crash

    While the symptoms are different, because you have already tried to reinstall the software, perhaps the problem may be related to your library, iTunes, or (as in my case), seems to be a problem caused by the Apple's music, which only manifested itself during the access artists in iTunes that I have previously set to 'follow' Apple music!

    After that I've disabled showing music Apple (from the tab general in iTunes Properties) as suggested in this article, all of a sudden my iTunes stopped freezing / crashing.

    If your iTunes library is potentially corrupted, the following Apple article should be very useful:

  • How can I sort compilations in iTunes 12?

    Hello world. I find just that if you check the box "compilation" and leave empty the label of artist Album, iTunes recognizes the songs like "Various artists". That's fine because knowing that I don't need to manually write "Various artists", not more, and so it does not appear as an artist on the view of the artist, which is correct.

    The problem is that now all of these albums, reviews of Albums, appear at the end and with a chaotic order. I use this function mostly for soundtracks and I want to sort by Album name, so if I want to listen to the Soundtrack of Forrest Gump I get with the albums started with the letter F. I tried to edit the Album artist sort option, but that the Album artist tag is empty it won't let me put anything.

    And if what I'm asking is not possible and all the different compilations of artists must appear at the end of my collection, at least, that I like to keep their sort by Album down here... I show you the strange order which displays iTunes with my BO:

    Anyone know how it works or if I do something wrong? Thank you very much.

    If you do not complete an artist Album, I suspect that when you have your library view mode Album sort order will be based on the first name of the artist on each compilation.  Which does not seem to adapt to what you see?
