How do you label multi cd albums in itunes?

[Spudders]

Not asking as in can someone help me, I know HOW to do it.

 

Just wondering what the general consensus is on this? ie how do YOU do it?

 

In my itunes, I've always separated CD's out where there are more than 1 disc in an album, so it's easier to choose a specific CD. However as my collection has got bigger I'm now starting to think about relabeling them under just the 1 album. I know you can label tracks as being from disc 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc, but how does that work if you want to select a specific disc, let's say disc 3? Do you have to go into the album & manually scroll down to the first track of disc 3?

If you right-click on a track, go to "Get Info" and then "Info" on the box that comes up, you can change the details in there. Its a bit time consuming but it does work. I`ve done it with double albums. Just make sure that the information you input is identical, apaert from the track title, obviously.

I'm not sure if you are being ironic there!

 

I know HOW to do it technically. But just wondering if other people split out discs or keep them under one album, ie if you have an album with 3 discs!!

 

(But thanks for trying to help, if you weren't being ironic!)

I do apologise. I thought that I was being helpful. I try to keep my multi-disc CD`s as one on itunes. It is much easier.

I'm a bit anal about my music collection. I use "Tagscanner" to edit the ID3 tags in every song / album I own so that each track just has Title, Artist, Year & Album cover info only.

 

I delete stuff like, Album Artist, Genre, Encoded By, Disc number etc.

 

If the album was originally over 2 CD's, I put all the tracks in one folder and edit all tracks accordingly so that it appears that it was one big album. I do this as I haven't played a CD in god knows how long, all my media is digital. No need to worry about fitting it on to a CD.

 

Imagine in 20 years time someone is going through your iTunes library....

 

"Why the hell have you split that album into CD 1, CD 2 etc"
