Why is-songs from iTunes by the same artist?

I'm a Star Wars geek and a big fan of soundtrack buff, so I recently bought a copy of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Bo and ripped the CD using iTunes. I have 17 other albums by John Williams in my iTunes library, which were under his name for artists. For some reason, however, iTunes 12.3.2.35 displays each track on this album as a new album by a different artist (in other words, instead of appearing as 18th album of John Williams, I'm now 23 new albums, one track repeat 23 separate artists named "John Williams" appear when I view my music from the artist). I have absolutely no idea why this is happening because the information contained in labels for identification of the files are quite correct and the same as the other albums. What is even more strange, it's that the new album is bundled with my other John Williams music on my iPod and iTunes actually put the new files themselves in the same folder "John Williams" like other albums by John Williams in my "iTunes Music" folder No idea why this is happening? Thank you!

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.

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.

  • iTunes game not download songs from iTunes to the cloud

    I've ripped from CD music and imported into iTunes (12.4.3.1) on my PC for Windows 10

    Most of the songs were transferred to the cloud without problem, but an Album with two discs seems to be stuck downloading the second disc. One went through OK. There is also another song taken from a compilation disc, which seems stuck as well. The songs in question always have a small cloud dotted beside them.

    Ripping the album two disc I was presented with a choice of Albums to correspond with the second disc and may have selected the wrong year. Strange that it happened not by tearing the first disc.

    The only song took his info edited so that it is listed in his artist as it was the only song torn from this CD. This has not caused problems before.

    I tried to click on the Library button musical iCloud, which showed the same spinning wheel and the drop down menu text "Corresponding to your music with songs in iTunes Store" to stop the process. then under file > library > update iCloud, music library, but he sticks with the wheel turning again.

    How can I solve this problem and get all the songs to download correctly?

    Hello

    I suggest that you try to remove the tracks and ripping them again.

    If a problem yet, try to connect to your account iTunes, close iTunes. Then reopen iTunes, sign into iTunes and check the preferences for iCloud music is checked.

  • iTunes separating artist for each song by the same artist

    This is something that concerns me for a long time. After you add a few Radiohead songs to the collection, it wouldn't put them in the same section of the artist. In this case a very large number. So I thought that any other time in this case, I have just remove the artist artist name and album for all of the music of this artist and works in general.

    Not this time. Instead, what it's done is divide the artist for each song. Strangely, if I switch to the display of the album, each song is where it should be. I tried re-entry sorting and grouping information, but nothing seems to work.

    Hello winningbagoafx,

    I understand that iTunes is unable to well to bundle a number of songs together under the same artist. The article linked below, although written for a slightly different situation, details information that can also be applied to a similar situation involving the artist rather than the album.

  • iTunes by separating the pieces of the same artist

    Recently, (who started after the 1/4, has noticed the 1/20) when I sync my iPod, songs by the same artist will be distributed on the page "sync music" (so I have to check the same artist twice to get the music on my iPod). This is not happen with all the new additions to the existing artists, however. I went through and made sure that all the information is correct and aligns with the albums. I also tried to change the information on the files themselves, but it made no difference.

    iTunes version: 12.3.2

    iPod: Nano, 7th generation

    (I don't really know what is relevant, but I'll fill in all the necessary information).

    Thank you all in advance for your help!

    See the grouping of tracks in albums, in particular see I tried it STILL has too many blankets!

    Select all titles by the same artist and add, for example, a X final, both artist and Album artist, apply the change and then delete the extra character.

  • transfer songs from itune to sony walkman using Windows Media Player 11

    you are trying to transfer songs from iTunes to itunes library for sony walkman with windows media player 11 on xp sp3 version.  error when syncing... says the file is not supported and I can't sync songs to the walkman.  I can get songs off the list and add next door, but when I sync I get the error message and no songs are synchronized.  What should I do?

    Hello

    ·        What is the model of Sony walkman?

    ·        What is the format of the file you are trying to transfer?

    If the file format is AAC and then, you can try to convert the file to mp3, wav, wmv etc. and check if you are able to transfer the file to Sony Walkman.

    To get help, I would say that you check with Sony support forums. Click on the link below.

  • You can save the music from itunes with the sound recorder?

    You can save the music from itunes with the sound recorder?

    The principle is simple in nature, although the tape recorder is not the best option available for you, even in free software for audio recording you can.

    If you want to use sound recorder, you will need to get a 1/8 inch male-male stero (cable basically a helmet with two male ends) and put one of your speakers into your microphone in the port (line in).

    Then open sound recorder and give it a shot. The recorded files will be in .wav format, so you need to get a freeware to convert to program them to .mp3 if necessary. Or use this:

    http://www.media-convert.com/

    You can also use Windows Media Encoder 9, which in my opinion is much better in features and maintaining the quality. It is freely accessible to the public.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5691ba02-e496-465a-bba9-b2f1182cdf24&displaylang=en

    You use the same configuration that with tape recorder, get a stereo cable and speaker output connection > microphone.

  • Transfer songs from itunes to Windows Media Player

    I just purhased a new phone (Sony Ericsson Cyber-Shot) and want to transfer songs I already purhased on itunes on the phone - is that possible? I connected the memory card from my computer and windows media player is launched, I tried dragging songs from itunes to Windows media player but it doesn't seem to work - any ideas?

    Hello Dale120,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    What type of memory card that you use?  Are there measures with the memory card on the transfer of music files or on the Web site?  I tried to pull the top of your phone but do not have the specific model number.  I show that some phones using Bluetooth and USB memory cards.

    Are you able to insert the memory card and close Windows Media Player if it opens by default.  Then right-click on start and select "explore".   When the new tab opens, you will see a directory folder on the left side of the tab.  If you scroll down below your C drive you see the memory card?   You can drag a music file in your "Music" folder in the folder of the memory card?

    Yet once I would check with instructions or website http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/c510a?lc=en&cc=us for measures as well.  Please let us know.  Thank you!

    Windows Media Player is not a Publisher.

    You can use Windows Movie Maker to split
    and combine audio files, but it works better
    If they are in the. WMA format.

    The guy is anyway to make the 2 albums in the same name for the same artist? If there is no way so please someone tell me how can I suggest updating to iTunes

    Faisal,

    If they have the same artist and eponymous album, iTunes will think they are from the same album.  The best way would be to change the title for the second version, for example 'Loveless' and 'Loveless 2.'  Or you could put parts in separate lists.
