Itunes: Put all songs from one artist in the same album?
Question Posted Monday April 9 2012, 9:52 pm
I downloaded the Up All Night album by One Direction the other day, but then i realized there was more songs out by them that i didnt have so i bouoght them individually and put them on iTunes also. I want them to merge as all on one album but it wont! I have tried making every single detail of their info the same and it still wont merge. Its starting to annoy me and i need some help!

First, use the search feature of iTunes to get all of the OneD music up in a single list.
Second, select it all in the list.
Third, get info on MULTIPLE Items at the same time.
Fourth, tick the checkbox next to Album, and write in the album name that you want them all to appear under.
Fifth, for good measure, tick any other checkboxes that the information should be the same for, such as Artist, and REENTER "One Direction".
Sixth, click okay, and accept any changes.
Seventh, try resynching the ipod/phone.
See if the songs are all in the same album now.
If they're not:
Eighth, copy all those songs out of iTunes to a single location.
Ninth, delete the songs from the iTunes list.
Tenth, sync the iPod/phone again.
Eleventh, re-add the songs to iTunes.
Twelfth, sync the iPod/phone again.
If that doesn't do it, take the iPod/Phone to Apple, there's something wrong with the hardware.

What I suggest trying is on your desktop make a folder and add all of the songs that u want and label it that (or where you want) and then transfer that to your itunes account. Another thing you can do is just put those songs under well like you know where it said device there will be like names and stuff like that make a new one and title it whatever you want it to be and drag each song there....
