How do I merge multiple songs into one compilation album in theiTunes library?

April 24th, 2009 | by songs |
Kevin asked:


I have A LOT of songs that are part of the same album and is a compilation of artists, and my iTunes will only merge the album if I check the (part of a compilation) box. However, I can only do this song-by-song, as it will not work if I highlight all the songs I want in the compilation album at once. What can I do to make the process faster?

    1. Insert the CD that contains the music you want to merge. If you have a bunch of random songs you want to merge together then burn them to a CD first. Just in case, set the gap to zero seconds.

    “Hi guys I was trying to get two tracks from 2 different CD to join but to no avail. I needed one long song for a soundtrack for an iphoto slide show. It seems that the songs must be next to each other physically on a cd in order to make this work. I finally figured out how to make it work. I made new playlist, burned it to a blank CD, then Joined the tracks from the advanced menu and imported it into itunes.” ~ J. Starling

    2. Select the CD in your iTunes Source window. Highlight the songs you want to join on the CD (not on your iPod or your iTunes Library!)

    3. Look under the Advanced menu in iTunes for ‘Join CD Tracks’.

    4. Your tracks will now become one. If you run into any problems, double check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
