Music Collection Issues

dude i have the same problems, i am so pissed, half my music is ruined,  i want to add a song to this one album, but it wont drag, half my music like combined with my other albums, i mean wth? i was fine untill they did this.

ParachuteMan: If you have songs on your device that show up in songs, but you don't see an artist, it likely means that the track has no Album Artist metadata on the PC.  There is a preference on the device that determines whether the artist list shows album artists only (which I believe is the default) or song and album artists (i.e. contributing artists as well).  Changing that will probably clear up your problem, although you can add an album artist to your track's metadata as well.

i have tons of random songs that have got grouped into 3 albums. each by a different artist.  no matter what i do, they all go back to that artist and album. it might change for a few minutes then go right back. they were named correctly to start with, and are in sorted folders.
it really stinks :/

i honestly think that version 1.0 was better than the new software.
the way version 2.2 was designed was awesome and all.
but the old version was more user friendly and all the music was easily accessed on the left side. it'd be awesome if we had the "recently added" back. pretty much the old menu was just easier to use.
and how come i have some songs on my zune that are under "songs" but i cant find the artist?

why did i switch honestly everything was perfect with the old software now its all completly messed up and the new editing titles and all that is so stupid.  i liked the big box of everything that came up when u edited stuff

Thanks!  This fix (I have Vista) did the trick.   The songs are now in the right albums.  However, the album art is still incorrect for some of the albums.  Any ideas for fixing that or does it require a manual correction?

this is utterly amazing and rediculous. You would think they would actually test this stuff over and over again. I don't understand how something this big does not get fixed. Im seriously considering switching back to the Ipod. At least I didn't have to deal with this crap.

I did the steps you suggested - but with no change in my albums - everything is still jumbled up.  I looked in my file folders and nothing is in the wrong place.  It has attached the wrong artists to albums and the wrong cover art - but not the songs seem to be ok.

This has been the most hellish 3 days.  Until I get all my album art looking perfect (like it still is in wmp) and was before this software/firmware upgrade, I'm gonna reserve judgment on this software.  I followed all the posted instructions so many times I tell you.   I'm just tired of renaming files, erasing jpeg and resynching my zune.  After all this work I still have 5 albums that simply refuse to get the album art correct on the zune.

The album art for the 5 albums is correct in wmp, its correct in the collection and its correct on the device (when viewing thru the zune software).  However, once I disconnect the zune.  The 5 albums have the wrong album art on the zune.   Believe me I tried everything many times.   I've erased the zune.  Removed the albums and re-added them.   Nothing seems to get everything back to were it was

I was happy with my zune (and the software) for the last year.   Now this mess !!!

 

 

All u have to do is just to simply select all the music from ur collection and delete all the music. after that go to settings > software > and click on restore previously deleted items button then click APPLY and OK at the lower part portion of the software. and all the music will go back from the collection arranged.. proven and tested!!!
