Ballon Party <3

[Noah 27]

Hey one and all Shpigie here again <3

So before i hit the hay I was just curious (again still not sure if this is right category)

but when i downloaded all the Balloon Party tracks in their zip file I then moved them to

a separate folder by extracting them. Afterwords I used Itunes (extract file to library) on the file,

BUT because of the differing artists (still have same album title mind you) it placed them all in their own albums for each artist Anyway to fix it so they all go in one album? /:

 

Your truly,

Shprigie <3

 

Sorry miss spelling the topic title ><

Same thing happened to me. I have an older version of iTunes, but here's what I did.

 

Go to your search bar, type in the actual album name.

 

Change everything manually.

 

That's the only thing I could get to work. You'll have to put the artist name in the song title, and Balloon Party as both Album name and Artist for them to stay in order.

I selected all the songs for the album, what do you mean

change everything? Like right click and then something or...?

One by one change the album artists. This happened to me but, I kinda dont mind... I just put them into playlists on itunes..

Right click on each song and click "get info". After doing that change the album name and the artist name.

I never changed any of the tags on those songs. I just created a playlist that has all the songs from that album.

here's what i did to make it all tally up in a neat list:

 

1. dragged all the files into MP3Tag.

2. highlighted all the songs in the list it created, went to the box with the name "Album Artist", typed in "Balloon Party" in said box, and saved; one of the disadvantages with bandcamp is that it doesn't do album artist tagging, thus, various artist albums such as Balloon Party's gets all mixed up.

3. waiting for it to finish writing all the tags (it can take a really long time to save such a huge amount of files' tags).

4. dragged the newly tagged songs into my media player. all the 47 or so songs showed up in a neat 'n tidy list with the name "Balloon Party" next to it, and done.

 

i'm sure iTunes has album artist tagging to it. if not, then it's scandalous such a standard tagging feature isn't supported by it. O.o
