Sort by year by the artist album

Similar Questions

• When I sort by artist in my music, I want to see individual artists for songs, NOT the artist album called various.  Is this possible?

  I have an album called Billboard Hits 1962.  It's a compilation with several artists on the album album.  I notice that I can import music from my iPhone, but when I want to watch my music by artist, he ONLY see me the ARTIST of the ALBUM, not the artist of the song.

  Is it possible to change this so that I see an album or various artists, but when I list by the artist see the list of individual artists not the different which he named everyone.

  I tried every setting in iTunes to set up and that you can find no way to see the artists of the real song.

• Sort by year, album, disc number

  I think the rocket and the clip kind something like (alphabetically) artist > album (alphabetically) > songs (according to track number). It would be better if this was sorted in this way: (alphabetically) artist > album (per year) > songs (with number of disk first, then track number) so if you have multiple disc albums, they are sorted properly. Or at least the possibility of being able to sort out this way. I played a bit with tags drive and the "rocket" numbers so the clip still doesn't sort them properly. If this has been corrected or added I think it will help a lot of people looking for a more refined way of sorting.

  ???

  I think he meant something like that

  Artist > title > disk. Track

  So if I understand it would be

  Kiss > Kissology > 1.12 (disc 1 track 12)

  This seems a bit messy. A cleaner way would be:

  Artist > Album > track 1 (Disc 1)

  Track 2 (Disc 1)

  Track 1 (Disc 2)

  Track 2 (Disc 2)

  .. (drive x) .with be invisible then it will look in the same way the "rocket" and clip already do. Just the sort is fixed.

  Edit: actually I just checked the fuse and the clip and that's exactly how they sort with the appropriate disk labels

  From what I remember, it's this track 1 from these two records would be just below or above eachother. If this problem occurs again I'll post on this lol.

• How to customize the order of music files in the folder (no not with artist, album, #, genre or classification tabs)

  I'm trying to transfer a playlist from Itunes on a folder, but I can't understand how to keep the order of the songs as I had them in the Itunes playlist.  I can't get files .mp3 alphabetically for the artist, album or genre.  Or according to numerical order by track number # or rating.  Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

  Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show how to reset the display settings for the Windows File Explorer, disable Automatic folder Type Discovery (which is I think what you want)and increase the folder display the cache to make Vista do not forget the display settings, the folder type template, the size or the position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

  It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

  Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

  Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

  I hope this helps with your situation - it may take more than one item to come up with the solution - but I would start with paragraph 3.

  Good luck!

• Download 12.5.1.21 and lots of photos of work in the tabs of the ARTIST do not show the artist, only a graphic of a microphone. I had before the artist with their photos, and now I can't. How can we get them. ?

  Before when I have to click on the 'artists', all my artist art 12.5.1 on the sidebar appears. Now most of the artists album covers appear only a chart from a microphone in light pink, blue and clear.  However, when I click on 'albums', all album covers are not displayed correctly.  Review of my library, all the artwork for each song, and the album is installed correctly.   How to get the picture of the work on the 'artists' on the sidebar tab?  How can I do to reinstall the work of artists.  Help!

  Yours is probably the clearest explanation of the issue of iTunes with the "artists". Could you put a picture of the "artist's impression" so that we can see the problem?

  (I guess that other "views" - recently added, Albums, songs and Genres - work very well.

  Thank you!

• Sort order for the Album to the artist / year

  How does Itunes sorting Option "Album of the artist / year"work? "

  I expect year wise Albums are sorted. But some of the Albums are not sorted in the year.

  If two or more albums were released in the same year by the same artist, they are sorted in alphabetical order. Note also that iTunes can produce unexpected results if you select a descending sort order.

• 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 >.

• Sort my songs a to z, since the 10 update it does by the artist?

  Since the update when I go into my songs, it changed title of the song from a to z to the artist from a to z. I do not know if someone has it but o does not know how to change this back?

  and yes I returned to the page from the main menu thingy and selected sort by song, not by the artist (who is an artist from a to z).

  Thank you

  Hi NAL_asking,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!  It seems that your settings are correct, but I'd suggest to force out the music application, restart your iPhone and try again.

  Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  Choose how to sort songs
  Tap Settings > music > sort the songs and Albums > by title

  Then touch the music, tap library app, tap songs - and you should see all your music alphabetically by song title.

  Take a look at the section music to iPhone user Guide for iOS 10 update.
  (Click on the Table of contents, and then click Apps).

  Take care.

• 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.

• 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?

  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.

  Another explanation of hhgttg27 August 2015 - https://discussions.apple.com/message/27784417#27784417

  If they won't even really check this August 2008 post by turingtest2 group temporarily change labels - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7904806#7904806 or http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/merge.asp - add a letter at the end of the name of the artist, close the read information, then open it again and remove the letter. 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.

• Update iTunes 12.0.4.119 does not sort by artist album?

  With the last iTunes update, all my compilations are now classified under V (for various artists), even though at least half of them are not compilations of real and I prefer that they are filed with the main artist.  For example, the last album tribute to George Harrison (George Fest), I have the compilation box checked and individual artists listed for each track.  However, in the artist field album, I put "Harrison, George (Various Artists)" while the album is ranked immediately after my albums of George Harrison.  Now she is mixed with because v that the iTunes update eliminated the ability to sort by album artist.  I'm missing something here, or should I wait for the next update and hope they add this back in?

  iTunes will sort albums separately if the indicator "the Album is a compilation...". "is checked.  Unless you use an iPod Classic or another older iDevice, you can clear this check box and simply use the Album artist tag as you describe.

• All my songs are now nroken down from album for each artist/band I bought songs for. I would like to finish with the albums and just listed every song the artist/group, so I don't have to go to different albums. Can I get rid of the albums?

  Is there a faster way to get that information?

  You don't have to go to "albums" to listen to a particular artist. You can search, sort, create playlists, etc, based on the artist.

  If you provide more details about what you are doing and what does not work for you, we might be able to help more.

• problems with the field artist album

  looking for advice here, before I chuck my computer out the window

  I have a lot of compilations on my computer, and I have a set of 29 all under the same album artist name so I can find them easily

  but I downloaded a new album and for some reason it will not fit properly in. He spends under the artist of the album that I put, but it separates each song in a different artist, and not one goes into the existing category. so I have a list of artists, where about 30 of them in a row are exactly the same.

  I think the problem is that the tab sorting, the album artist is defined as what I would like it to be, but then the kind as it is set by default as mixed, and for some reason it wont let me change it. If I try, it returns immediately.

  any suggestions?

  Setting generally a title of the Album and Album artist common will fix things.

  For issues more profound see grouping of tracks in albums, see especially tried it STILL has too many blankets!

• 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!

  -Brecht

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

• Learning-media library - I walked into the artist field contributing and it appeared he is, but he ALSO appeared as the ALBUM called (a field I have NOT entered). Why? What can I do about it?

  In addition, when I edited the ALBUM a more appropriate name the program CHANGED my entry in the artist to accord with the edict to contribute field.  Why these areas are linked?  There is no problem display separate ALBUM and contributing artist fields for the CD in my E:drive.

  I want to display the information of the library which is relevant for my own use.  Pictures of the cover of the album are not high on my list - but I can't seem to remove this column from the display.  The NAME of the album, if any, is worth - slightly - but my primary grouping is in job title, composer, contributing artist (if applicable) and other details such as the length, year of registration and (at least when there is) follow.  A large part of my library is transferred from soundtracks files so there is no identifiable track.

  Hi Dadse,

  It seems that you have problems with the libraries.

  I will definitely help you with this.

   

  I suggest you change the file to media information by accessing the properties of these files and then go to the Details tab.

  It will be useful. If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know. We will be happy to help you.

  Thank you.
