Okay, So I'm very OCD about my music and the way I organize it. Every time there is a big change with iTunes or I switch to a new iPhone, I run into hours of issues that I have to resolve to so that it is organized like I want it. With that said, I HATE iOS7's music player and the way it forces me to scroll through albums and I plan on finding a player that does it like I like. But in the meantime, I need some help.
First of all, I buy most music in CD or Record form. Call me old school, but I like to have the actual copy. I then save it onto an external drive. 98% of all my music is done this way. Occasionally I will buy single songs off iTunes if I know I don't like any more of that persons's music. I then relabel all of that so that it is in one album titled "Downloaded Music iTunes." I don't care what album each song actually come from. Just the artist. The problem I have ran into is no matter what I try in terms of changing the sorting tags, it keeps splitting them up weird. It will only list the song name (not the artist unless I click to play it) and some of them have numbers in front of them. I only have 29 songs I've downloaded from iTunes. So an example would be:
Wild roses
Titanium
1 All through the night
1 One Day
1 I'm Gonna Be
2 Let Me Be
And so forth.
I don't understand why it is putting the number in front of it. I've checked all the info and I deleted any sort of numbering. I also don't understand why it omits the name of the artist.
My second issue is that a few (not all) of the songs that I've downloaded from iTunes, show up oddly in my iTunes on my computer. They are sort of greyed out and they have a dotted circle next to them. Why?
I know these probably seem like nit picky issues, and well… they are. But it's just how I am about my music.
If anybody can help I'd be VERY grateful.
