To do so, click View > Zoom in or press Ctrl-1 (Command-1 on a Mac). You may want to adjust Audacity's default view to give yourself a second-by-second view of the tracks. So I selected the eight tracks in iTunes' Album view, dragged the selection into Audacity, selected tracks two through eight individually, and pasted them in order after the first track, "You Never Give Me Your Money."
You guessed it: the Side Two medley downloads as eight separate tracks. I recently downloaded the Beatles' Abbey Road, which was the first long-playing album I ever owned way back when. Prevent individual tracks intended to play in sequence from playing alone on shuffle by choosing the "Skip when shuffling" option in iTunes.īut what's the fun of that? I want to hear these multifile songs as much as their single-file counterparts. Shufflers frustrated by hearing only the third movement of a symphony or another track intended to play in a sequence can exclude the track from the shuffle: select the tracks that should play together, right-click the selection, choose Get Info, click Yes at the warning, select the Options tab, check "Skip when shuffling," choose Yes in the drop-down menu, and click OK. A friend of mine listens to his 10,000-track iTunes library alphabetically (he says it takes him about four months to work through the entire list). The five-step track join: drag, cut, paste, export, importĪs I mentioned above, tracks will play in their album order when played as an album in iTunes and on media players. For example, it took only a couple of minutes for me to splice the end of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Poorboy Shuffle" with the beginning of "Fortunate Son" even though the two cuts weren't contiguous on the original "Willy and the Poor Boys" album. With Audacity, not only can you join album tracks into a single file, you can make like a DJ and mix tracks as you wish.
If the tracks were originally on a CD, you could simply rerip the CDs using iTunes' option for joining tracks, but there's no way in iTunes itself to join album tracks you've downloaded from the service or elsewhere.
#How to arrange the order burn music to cd free#
I use the free Audacity audio-editing program to combine sequential tracks that iTunes treats as separate files into a single file. This is one of the tips in the previous post.) (When you rip the tracks from a CD, iTunes lets you join tracks so they appear in your iTunes library as a single file. So if you listen to your music collection other than album by album, related tracks from the same album - such as movements of a symphony - may play out of order or in isolation.
