iTunes: Album Songs Split Up In Grid View

Tweet

October 26, 2014 by Mitch Bartlett 13 Comments Filed Under: Software Tagged: itunes

On one of my Mac’s, I had a problem with Apple iTunes where the songs from one album showed as split up as though they were on different albums in Grid View. Here is a screen shot (source).

iTunes Album Art Split

To fix this problem, perform the following steps:

  1. Highlight all of the tracks on the album.
  2. Right-click/Control-click on one of them and select “Get Info“.
  3. Type a space at the end of the “Album Artist“. Click “OK” when done.
  4. Right-click/Control-click on the tracks again and go back to “Get Info“.
  5. Take the space out at the end and click “OK“.

This totally works! It somehow resets iTunes into knowing all of the tracks are on the same album.

    @Hayley: To select all tracks, either go to the menu near the top-left corner and click Edit -> Select All, or hold down the Ctrl key on a PC keyboard or Command key on a Mac and tap the letter A.

    So thankful for this post, it worked for me!

    GOLD! Heaps of advice on this everywhere but none of it worked. Tried this and bingo bongo, worked perfectly. Dude you are a lifesaver and probably prevented me from throwing the laptop out the window! Thanks! :)
