Right, I have just restored my MacBook enabled filevault, and done my updates.

I have loaded this new version of iTunes, and gone to slap on an album of Pendulum, it of course takes it from the cd just fine, however for some unknown reason a few tracks have their own album art, and when you view the layout by album art, it looks wrong. Purely because their is 6 pieces of artwork, which for some unknown reason iTunes has decided will not by any means known by myself allow me to sync all the tracks as one album.

I have tried "get info" and setting album,genre and artist to the correct album titles, and nothing has helped. So before I drag iTunes to the bin and use Foobar or something to play my music can someone PLEASE tell me where I am going wrong.

Can you edit the tags? Maybe rename them all the same Album.

How would I go about that?

In the "get info" section I have tried the Artist, Album and Genre.. nothing makes them align into a single album.

Edit: Just tried manually editing the single files, instead of a group edit, that seems to be working. Perhaps a bug in group editing?

Group edit and then tick the box and mark as part of a compilation. One or more tracks probably included other artist names, or something stupid like that.

forget compilations, they are a mess to deal with afterwards! what you really wanna do is select all the files and dit their tags together. If the album, album artist and artist fields don't fix your issue, click on the "sorting options" tabs and edit it there. That options has NEVER failed me.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
