Compilations

For these authentic compilations, you suggest have the artist field as the real and the artist as 'various artists' album or do not fill the field artist album?

I have the compilation checkbox enabled on all tracks

I always fill Album artist even for the non-Compilations, leave empty tends to create problems.  For compilation I use "Various Artists", as the artist of the Album, with the true artist is entered as the artist (and of course, check out the part of a Compilation option).

    It is said in the new update clang is a command line tool.

  • Tex compiler on iCloud problem

    I don't know how many of you know on this subject but the academicians use language "tex" to produce scientific articles. These programs compile tex code that generates a pdf file. The problem is that, if you keep your tex (with .DVI extension) on iCloud drive file, problems will occur. With a compiler (Latexian), a pdf file is not produced at all, with another compiler (Texpad) separate pdf files are produced whenever the code is executed. I contacted support of these programs, and they told me it's the cause iCloud. And they're right. They also tell me that they can't fix this and Apple should fix this. And I think they're right. It is impossible that two different programs have bugs. Here I ask Apple to set records in a way that allows these programs to compile code tex iCloud. The problem can be reproduced easily without these programs, but just runing a lot of formatting with pdfTeX. In my opinion, Apple should solve the problem.

    Apple is not regularly monitor the discussions. These are mostly a user in discussions.

    Send feedback to Apple. They will not respond, but at least will know that there is a problem or a suggestion for improvement. If enough people send feedback, it can get change / suggested the problem solved as soon as possible.

  • How can I make the individual work for each song on a compilation album of show when I browse my playlists?

    I get a lot of my music from Soundcloud where individual songs are released by artists often with none of the albums.

    So, when you add these songs on iTunes I the name of the album for each of them SoundCloud despite the fact that each of them have different names track/artists/works of art.  When I select the option to indicate that the song is part of a compilation album, even if the individual work remains in each song and shows when I play the song, looking at my playlists, songs from my compilation album of SoundCloud will only show album art compilation rather than the individual works for each song.  How can I my iTunes will show that each individual work?

    You can't while retaining spacing as part of this same album. If you want each art individual to show then tracks them to a unique combination of the album title and album artist. If the tracks are underway on an older iPod then the tracks on the album must be unique.

  • iTunes 12.4 - various misfortunes of Compilation of artist (s)

    Discovered an interesting 'oddity' when you scroll my iTunes music section today. I am an avid collector of now that's what I call music compilations (do it for completeness sake these days...) and I spotted 2 albums weren't in the Compilations section in the 'Album view' (39 and 58, for those who are interested).

    I'm pretty meticulous with my albums, so I checked the following:

    1. is the compilation area checked on all the songs on the album? Yes

    2. is the same for all the songs from the album the artist album? Yes (Various Artists, btw)

    3. is the album stored in the folder of compilations on the hard drive? Yes

    4 are the same for all the songs, i.e. the default values the sorting information? Yes

    5 songs are in the same format (AAC) as the rest of the library? Yes

    6 is equivalent to the cover of the album? Yes (this is where I started to clutch at straws)

    Then, I tried several different things:

    1 remove the songs from iTunes, but not the location of the hard drive. Result - no change

    2 remove the songs from iTunes and the location of the hard drive (the trash reloaded). Result - no change

    3 saved the files to another location, and then deleted from the original location. Result - no change

    4 change "Various Artists" in the box of the Album artist to "various artist". Result - moved to the correct location...

    5. change one song of "Various Artist", back to "Various Artists". Result - start the wrong position...

    Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and how to fix it permanently? My neuroses can not handle to scroll to the song and see this little wobble between "Various Artists" and "Various artist" on 2 places along a section of Compilations otherwise Immaculate

    Hi jaj_danbury,

    I understand that two of your albums are not shown as compilations as they should be. I know how it is important to keep things organized, then I would be happy to share information with you that can help.

    Take a look at this article which may shed some light on your problem:

  • compilation albums

    Why my compilation albums are placed in a section that is unique? I'd rather they were in alphabetical order like the rest of my albums. Anyone know how I can expose my music as I want.

    The people at Apple will continue to spoil the iTunes format or go back to the way it was before, when you could find what you want in the place where it is supposed to be?

    I use an older version of iTunes, so I do not experience this problem. What happens if you remove the indicator compilation and instead assign the album a common album like Various Artists artist?

  • 'Album' back field for compilations

    Hello, there is no way that I can view compilations in order to launch album year as the year of production of each track can be different decades of the release date of the compilation CD.  I recently asked Apple via iTunes comments they add a new field to ALBUM YEAR that can be filled manually.  If left blank, the default would be also present, the year on the latest track in the album.  In this way, all the individual songs can be sorted in the year they were recorded, and at the same time, all photos can be sorted in the year they were released.

    I have a large collection of over 32 000 titles for this level of sophistication of sorting is important to me. I went to the effort to have the correct year assigned to every single track in my collection, but this means compilations especially appear anywhere near their for grid album release date, when displayed in chronological order...

    If you accept this additional field is a good idea, please also submit a request for improvement of your comments to Apple via the iTunes application. Please copy and paste this content if you do not want to write your own presentation.

    I agree that it would be a useful improvement although I prefer to see an original release (a, m, j) date and edition release date.  However, all the iTunes data model metadata is unlikely to support this because it is not able to recognize 'album' as a primary concept - stands at the level of individual tracks, and it is these metadata that are used for the band's songs in albums in the presentation layer.

    As a solution, I use a somewhat esoteric pattern that fills the field of Sorting Album with a concatenation of (the most important artist of Sort Album Artist, artist, Genre artist and Album artist) with the date of album release in the format YYYYMMDD .  The result of this (if it is applied uniformly throughout a library) is that sort albums by artist and title really give a correct chronological list by artist and then by release date.

  • Suddenly absent compilation albums

    For some unexplained reason, all my compilation albums are suddenly missing in my opinion main albums. In addition, all the songs of these compilations are not viewable in the main display of albums.

    You can only see the clicking on artists-> Compilations.

    Why.

    Explain.

    iTunes 12.4 has changed how compilations are managed and has at least one bug:


    • When the flag of "the Album is a compilation...". "is defined and the value of the artist of the Album is empty, these albums are listed at the end of any view album sorting by artist, under a separate"Compilations"section
    • However, albums that match this pattern will disappear from the view Albums sorted by something other than artist - we must assume that it is certainly a bug
    • iTunes grouping/sorting algorithm now seems to be to assess the values of the pieces of a compilation album of the artist :
      • an album that isn't really a compilation (i.e., all the tracks are attributed to the same artist) will be sorted by artist name in the flag of "the Album is a compilation...". "is defined
      • the same is true for the albums where most of the tracks is attributed to an artist
    • There seems to be some variations in the results when the indicator "the Album is a compilation...". "is defined and a value is entered in the Album artist field

    Possible remedies:

    • roll back to 12.3.3
    • wait for the next update will fix (hopefully) bug 12.4
    • change your library such as the compilations are grouped together by defining a common value of the artist of the Album (for example, "Various Artists") and by disabling the flag "Album is a compilation...". "(although this will not work for users of the iPod Classic and other models more older iPod that do not support label of the Album artist ).
  • compilation albums no longer appear in the window of the albums

    I have several CD compilations which, so I checked box to compilations.  Just recently, they stopped to appear when I show the music library of the album.  I thought they disappeared, but I found them by chance.  Why do they have to separate them?

    Nobody here can answer why Apple chose to make this change, or even why 12.4.0 came out with a very obvious bug in the revised feature (where albums that were "part of a compilation" defined indicator disappear from the Albums view when sorted by anything other than the artist.)

    However, its interesting to note that the results of these changes can be completely avoided by updating your library so that the flag of "the Album is a compilation...". ' is not used, grouping these albums instead by setting a common value of the artist of the Album (for example, "Various Artists").  Only users for whom this isn't a viable solution are those who have iPod Classics or other iPod models more alumni who do not support the Album artist tag.

  • ERROR: iTunes 12.4 show compilations for the album

    All albums self-assembled who put the tick 'part of a compilation' are not visible on mac album mode. They are visible to remote.app on an iPad, but in iTunes on Mac you can see gender if you have assigned a specific to your compilation album genre. Also, if you have added a track recently you will see the album in the "most recent" view The phenomena described is valid only if the content files are from different sources to download as well as if the single are downloads from the itunes store that are packed together in one album to avoid having the 20 albums on screen with a single track in it. If you are using the album are, looking for a title like a hidden compilations album you'll actually see its cover in the list of results, but when you select the hit, iTunes will not pass to the album, but whether it is sufficient to close the search window. Please correct.

    I also have this issue.

    And the current iOS music player is not also display compilation for the album. That really *...

  • iTunes - compilations, absent from the list of Albums

    I have several compilations in iTunes (12.4.0.119) on my MacBook Pro.  These appeared in the list of albums of the library until now, but suddenly they no longer appear in the list of Albums.  They always appear under Gianni and recently added, but only with the single artist Albums appear in the list of Albums.

    Also has anyone seen this problem? I think that this only started happening after the last automatic update of the software a few days ago.

    In the version 12.4 iTunes compilations are hidden in the Album > grid side if the field sort by is set to something other than an artist.

  • Compilations no longer appear in Albums or playlists

    I think it might be the same issue that is discussed in iTunes not to display all the photos in the grid view (but it's iTunes for Mac - I replied by mistake I use Windows 10).

    Question: Is there a way to make material Compilation to appear in the Album view (s), the way that he used to work before the 12.4.0.119 version?

    After the upgrade to iTunes for Windows to 12.4.0.119, I no longer see compilations (or songs) in various points of view. For example: I imported a box as a compilation. The set consists of several different albums, and I would add the songs as such to a playlist (i.e., a value of an album material at a time). This material is displayed under library-> Albums, but it is no longer made.  (I know that I can click on the button 'Edit' next to 'Library' and add 'Compilations' - it's not what I'm talking about.) "I want to see Albums as I have before).

    I also some songs compilation added to a playlist - they are in fact always there, but they are not displayed when you view as albums.  If I change the display of the playlist to display as a playlist, not only I see the songs on the compilation, but the size increases (rightly) in GB. I prefer the view of the Album and do not look forward to change the view to see what I had in my playlist.  (I don't like albums compilations seem to when I listen to on my iPhone, but it is a different matter.)

    I tried to delete the songs from compilation of the playlist and then adding them again, but that did not help.

    I don't seem to be able to reproduce this problem. Maybe a screenshot to illustrate what you see?

  • 12.4: compilations don't show selections for the album

    is there a setting hidden somewhere? It is compatible with more than one list of reading for me. but, if I go to the playlist in albums, no compilations then appear. If I try to add these compilations, I get a message saying that they are already there. View the playlist mode song or playlist, and of course they are. all simply not for the album.

    bug? or... is there some weird secret preference always called "hide the compilations" or something, somewhere? have not yet found, if so.

    I also have problems with the compilations in views album 12.4.

    In my case, * some * of my compilations appear when I discover playlists as albums (or use the view album under "Library" in the sidebar).

    Others are hidden that you encounter. I was not able to determine what differentiates compilations that are displayed in the album displays and those that are hidden.

  • Cannot delete a track that I added to a compilation

    I can't find cd on the internet always old covers, so pick one that is the right time and use it.  I can add compilations of different titles, but inadvertently, I added a wrong track and cannot remove album.  Have you tried highlighting and dragging etc but nothing to really work, so now I have two track 17 s!

    Have the track in iTunes right click, get information and change the Album, Album artist, etc. at values you want.
