Click to group all tracks together, click again to separate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Merge by adding the same Album and Album Artist Names<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracks can also be merged into an album by adding in the same \u201cAlbum\u201d and \u201cAlbum Artist\u201d tags as the album. This won\u2019t visually display as merged on your edit metadata page, but it will display as part of the album once you proceed to the Share or Audio pages.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This works for adding tracks to existing albums already saved in your audio library. Ensure that you add the correct track numbers to make sure the track sits in the correct place within your album.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><b>Get Names<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you upload your tracks without metadata attached, you can use the filenames to populate the track titles. Click the \u201cGet Names\u201d button at the top of the page, and your track names will populate; click again to clear the names.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The upload process is the same, whether you upload directly to the share page or add audio to your audio library for future sharing.
