Ipod / i tunes help ????

[seajon]

:US: Hi, i have recently bought an ipod and am in the process of transfering my cds into i tunes which so far is fairly straightforward. However, when i transfer a complialtion album (eg ministry of sound) it splits each song up individually.

Is this normal and if so is there a way in itunes to view the album where hopefully all of the individual tracks will be located together

and advice greatly appreciated - many thanks....

I use a Mac, but it's something like...
select all the songs in the album
right click a song
select 'Get Info'
Select Options tab
Set 'Part of a Compilation' to No

Hope this helps!

As above but it is the 'Gapless Album' option.

sorry spoke too soon... I have done the above but they are still not located together under an album - any idea what i am doing wrong ??

im guessing you have your music listed A-Z by artist like most people.. which with a compilation album will scatter the songs all over the place. You could start listing everything A-Z in order of album name, this will put the compilation album all in one place. Or you could simply alter the artist name on each song so it is the same throughout the album.


I have another itunes/ipod related question....

If i have tracks on my ipod which i dont want to be included when set it to shuffle, is there a way to do this? for example i have radio podcasts on my ipod which i want to keep but dont want them to play when i set it to shuffle...

I may be wrong but the only way i think you could do that would be to copy all the songs you do want to listen to onto a playlist and play that shuffled.

Actually podcasts should be stored in a separate directory to the rest of your albums and therefore don't get included when you go for a shufty. Unless you aren't downloading your podcasts properly and have jumbled them up with your music collection
