- 2007 Mac Book Pro 2.2 Ghz 4 GB RAM SSD OSX 10.11 & 2006 MBP Stuck At 10.6.8
Hi All!
On my 2006 MacBook Pro, using OS X 10.11.6 the iTunes version is 12.8.2.3
I am trying to accomplish two tasks, the solutions for which are eluding me. I would imagine that the solutions are here somewhere, but I can't find them by serching the forum. On the internet, the solutions are for other versions of iTunes or the places one is told to click don't exist.
To my mind, iTunes is a power hungry control freak and won't let me "drive the bus". I'm sure it is a fine & powerful app for those who are, perhaps, two generations younger than myself.
Task One = Album Organization
Move Songs Into New Albums & Delete The Empty Albums
iTunes placed many songs into many, many random albums called "Unknown" with songs named "Unknown Artist". I've even got an "Anonymous" and a "Various".
Most have one song inside, some have more.
The source of the songs was when I had some loose songs in a folder on the computer. It was named "A". I imported it to iTunes & this mess is the result.
Goal- Move the songs into one album and name it. Then delete the empty albums.
Task Two = Re-Name The Album & Song
I can not figure out how to get iTunes to let me re-name the album(s) that I will keep and the songs inside. I simply can't do it, no matter how I try.
I apologize if this is simple stuff. Despite my hours of searching & trying, I finally gave up and am pestering you all with it. (Every time I try to use iTunes I end up sitting on the floor, facing the corner and rocking back and forth while muttering to myself. The experience has me so frustrated I'm afraid to open Photos app. It may take over!)
Thanks For Helping. It Is Appreciated!
