so I imported 3 albums onto 1 cd on i-tunes. there is a total of about 70 songs. But when i play them in my cd player i dont know how to skip to the next album...i can only get to the next album by going all the way through the tracks. Is there a way I can have multiple albums on 1 cd and have them seperated on the disc? so that way i can just skip to whichever album i want to?

No, the Red Book CD file system has no TOC and only identifies tracks as sequential numbers. To have 70 songs on one CD they must average about 1 minute each.:confused:
 
If you have 1,000 tracks, all with the same Album Name and Disc Number, then iTunes will think they all belong to the same album.

no no lol it was an exageration there is like 49 i checked today and no they are all formated mp3 form so there is plenty of room left im guessing. So i guess i cannot make seperpate folders on the cd to skip albums eh?:confused:

Right click on each song and select get info. From there, go to info (top of the pop-up box) You can edit the tracks from there.

Not really too sure if there is a way to do this for more than one song, but you can edit more than one simply by holding command and clicking each song. Then hold command and click one of the highlighted songs.
 
right click? i have the stock mighty mouse and there is no right click :confused: errgghhh lol

Yup… there is. Just "right click". ;)
The Button That Wasn’t

Alas the fate of the one-button mouse in today’s multibutton world. Who has time for intuitive, elegant design when there is so much clicking to do? Thanks to a smooth top shell with touch-sensitive technology beneath, Mighty Mouse allows you to right click without a right button. Capacitive sensors under Mighty Mouse’s seamless top shell detect where your fingers are and predict your clicking intentions, so you don’t need two buttons — just two fingers. Click on the left side to use Mighty Mouse in its simplest, single-button form. Click on the right to access contextual menus within applications and edit, copy, label or download from your mouse. It’s simple sleight of hand.
 
its kinda hard but i got it, takes a while. is there an easier way or thats it? thanks a lot but i cant change the track #'s for some reason

I know for my wireless mighty mouse I had to go into system preferences to allow it to right click.

You can only change the track on one song at a time. I know it's a pain. I found that selecting one song and then just using the next button in the pop up is the best solution.

You do have "right click". You may have to turn it on: System Preferences, Mouse and turn "right click" to "Secondary Button".

Alternatively, control-click = right click.

If you select multiple songs you can change info for all of them at the same time (e.g., album number or artist)
 
thank you, i did have to go to preferences and change to have the right click
