Songs from the same album are organized in different versions of the album

Several songs on the album are purchased on iTunes so when weve deviated our own music library on tends them to be several versions of each album it appears each with different songs on the album. The problem still persists when viewing music on any of our apple devices, even when you look at the 'albums' category there are several versions of many albums that have only 1 or 2 songs each. We tried to manually change how the songs should be sorted and nothing seems 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.

    Quick response: select all the tracks on the album, file > info (or right-click > news > Details) and give them all a single "album artist", or check the indicator of "compilation" (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085#17670085).

    If they are several CD sets, you will also need to enter the appropriate information in the fields of number of disk.  If they are not a set of multiple CDs that you must always make sure any vacuum or disc number fields are properly defined.

This works often but I had cases where securities combined when a letter has been added but divorced when he was kidnapped again.

    If they are mp3 files are trying to change the version of the ID3 tag, which can cause iTunes to re - write the tags and clarify inconsistencies.  I use iTunes 7.5 (Yes, from 2007) so I can't tell you where it is in later versions.

    I had a case of grouping stubborn reality.  The tracks will be re-group in a way that has no meaning when I changed metadata.  Without going into details, I deleted tracks iTunes completely, then add the files and they are all grouped together correctly.

  • Is there a way to create a smart playlist without several songs from the same album?

    I would like to create a smart playlist without several songs of his same albums.  Is this possible?

    Timo,

    Unfortunately not.

    Smart playlist logic analyzes each song individually and includes those who correspond to rules.  There is no way to write a rule that depends on other songs in the same album.

  • Album art disappears for songs from the same album.

    I was wondering if anyone else has this problem with AirPlay on Apple TV (4th generation)

    Album art perfectly fine poster to a playlist in which each subsequent song has a different album cover than the preceding.

    If, however, I play 2 or more songs in succession from the same album (and with the same cover), the album cover displays the playback of the first track and then disappears to the other songs on this album. Album art does not appear again until a song on a new album (with different cover art) is selected.

    If you want to report your experience to Apple, you can send them your feedback here, choose 'Report a problem' in the menu type of feedback.

  • Missing option to switch the display/music of the song from the Album or playlist without the sidebar

    Problem I see now is that in my music, from the Album view we will tell song reviews, the only possible way is by activating the sidebar. Same thing if I want to see my playlists. I never needed to activate the sidebar to make this appeal.

    Same for the television shows, by default, they appear listed by episode and not show or kind, again, if I want to switch the view now I have to activate the sidebar.

    Clues will be appreciated if I could be missing something...

    I agree with you.  I know, there was a lot of noise around the latest design, but I loved. I spend 95 percent of my time in the album view and 60% of the recently added.  I found the old, almost full screen view album with recent on top to be perfect!

    I can live with the sidebar, but it seems old-school. What I would love are some filters/translucent navigation that could be invoked quickly and get out of the road. Why are we stuck with the menus, side bars and drop-down lists in 2016?  Why are filtering, display and sort so often confused in a strange and inflexible way in music from Apple apps?

  • Why the "re-registered" very different songs from the original

    I just downloaded an album on the iTunes store "Hits of the 1950s."  Before I paid for it I listened to a couple briefly and they sounded like the original, I remember the 1950s.  Now that they are downloaded and paid for, I played many and they are not the original songs of the 1950s.  What gives?  I don't want this album. I want songs that I remember them and I'm willing to pay for them individually.  Very disappointed in iTunes.

    It is not for lack of iTunes, you don't like it.  They have not deliberately deceive you or steal your money.  From the outset, he said that they were reproductions.  What do you think it meant?  "Re-recording" means that the band returned to the studio later and made the song again.  I'm sorry, but you should have paid more attention.  You bought something iTunes has been selling, and you did not like it.  You can't get a refund for that.  If you don't want the album, simply delete the files from your computer.   Find the original recordings and buy them if that's what you prefer.

  • Can't delete songs from the iPhone from iTunes 6

    iPhone iOS 6 9.3.2

    iTunes 12.4.1.6

    OSX 10.11.4 El Capitan

    I have manually manage music on my iPhone with iTunes.  I used to be able to select an album in iTunes and then drag it to the iPhone to add it to the iPhone.  The only way I can get the albums on my iPhone is now, right-click and select Add to the device.  Also, I used to be able to DELETE the songs off iPhone from iTunes.  Now when I select and right-click on several songs of the devices > iPhone > music section of iTunes, the only option I get is to add to the Playist...  I can't delete songs from my iPhone from iTunes.  Any ideas.  There must be a better way than the manual removal of the iPhone.

    When your iPhone is connected to iTunes, check the settings > music section to find something like this:

    You can check "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" here instead of 'Library of music together' as I did.

    On the iPhone summary page, you can also check a box that says something like "only sync checked items" - or words to that effect.

  • iTunes Gets the focus at the opening of the song from the Explorer

    Hi all! I hope you can help me with my little problem. Recently I decided to spend my old iTunes audio player software, but I still prefer to open songs directly from the Solution Explorer, without using iTunes playlists or search system. Whenever I click on the song to play, it brings iTunes in short which is a bit annoying. I know it's ridiculous to sounds, but this old player I just 'received' selected song that has been reduced to a minimum at Lac, so I would not even paid attention to it. Since the iTunes player seems to have a sandbox, when I click on my song it brings iTunes in short window. I'm multitasking a lot and for iTunes, I would play in environments without "remind me" he's here. Thank you for you time!

    Hello Human004,

    If you are looking to keep the iTunes window hidden on your Windows 7 PC, you should consider one of the many free utilities available that can keep an application hidden in the system tray.

  • Can I use a gift card to iTunes of the Brazil to the United States with a US iTunes ID to buy songs from the ITunes store for the Brazil?

    No, you can't. You will need to be glued to the Brazil to use the store of Brazil. These are requirements of Apple. You would not be able to use a U.S. account in the Bank of Brazil, and you could not add a gift card of Brazil to a U.S. account.

  • 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.

  • Windows Media Player does not play the songs from the album in the correct order

    Hiya, had this problem for as long as I can remember. When playing an album with Windows Media Player with Windows 7, it will play all the songs that start with 1 first so for example track 1 then etc. 11 then 12 then finally back to 2. Also happens if I put albums on sd/usb cards and play through my car stereo.

    Do all titles should be renamed 01, 02, 03 etc?

    And just to confirm that shuffle is inactive lol

    It is possible that the tracks will be will play in the mess if you play from Windows Explorer (although I have been unable to reproduce this on my Windows 7 system). To avoid this, make sure that the titles are added to the WMP library and play from there.

    If you want to keep playing the Explorer, you can indeed rename 01, 02, 03 etc, you suggested already yourself. You can also switch to the Details view and sort by track number by clicking on the column # .
