[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1835154, member: 76746"] Thank You VERY Much SlyDude! Your instructions are far, far better than any of those I've found, including (especially) Apple's & iTunes Help. I can't even count how many hours I've spent over the years trying to figure out iTunes- mostly the items you explained below. I almost had the old version that came with OS X 10.4 figured out and then Apple supercharged the application. All that I learned went out the window. Your instructions for using Album Info to change names worked great. I added album names to many loose songs and they went straight away into the proper albums. I couldn't figure out how to make an album for the loose songs, so I made an empty folder on the desktop, stuck one song in it and had iTunes import the folder. Also, now I can fix the titles for the many, many songs that I have which start with a number. That will make using iTunes much easier. Your information about Disc 1, Disc 2, etc. was something that I did not know I could do. It's great being able to group that type of collection together. I have some where the Disc 1 and Disc 2 have different names, so they get listed quite far apart in iTunes. Now they can go together! (Still working on that...) I'm still experimenting with compilations. Unchecking "Compilation" worked for one, but not the others. Perhaps I can make a new album and manually move the songs into it, renaming when I'm done. Thanks to your help and education, I'm well on my way to straightening out this library mess (and understanding how iTunes thinks). I suppose I'm one of those people who like things organized, including my music collections. My father was a (very)German engineer. Being organized is in the DNA. Thankfully my mother was from Italy, so there is some tempering to the need for perfection! Thanks Again SlyDude! Enjoy This Day, Paul [/QUOTE]
