It’s easy, here is how to set this up:</p> <ul> <li>Open iTunes and select the songs you want to join together as a group with gapless playback</li> <li>Right-click on a song and choose “Get Info” to modify the group of songs</li> <li>Click on the “Options” tab, then set “Part of a compilation” to “Yes” and “Gapless album” to “Yes”</li> <li>Click “OK” to modify the track group</li> </ul> <p><img src="http://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/play-songs-together-itunes.jpg" alt="Play Songs together in iTunes by joining them" title="play-songs-together-itunes" width="608" height="499" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29772" /></p> <p>The selected songs are now linked together as a compilation and with gapless playback, meaning there won’t be any delays between one track ending and another starting. This also means if the song comes up in Shuffle, it will play as a gapless compilation rather than a single song.</p> <p>Compiled songs will play together as groups even when synced to an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, and also when played through <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/09/setup-use-itunes-home-sharing/">iTunes Home Sharing</a>, though the individual tracks are not actually joined together into a single file. </p> <p>This is a great setting to enable for albums or song groups that are meant to be played continuously where one song flows directly into the next, like Dark Side of the Moon.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Fp0RTimOLuoGhH_n4EbislNzBmg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Fp0RTimOLuoGhH_n4EbislNzBmg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Fp0RTimOLuoGhH_n4EbislNzBmg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Fp0RTimOLuoGhH_n4EbislNzBmg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=VwOlvBfyua4:MvDHxQ_JAVQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=VwOlvBfyua4:MvDHxQ_JAVQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=VwOlvBfyua4:MvDHxQ_JAVQ:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=VwOlvBfyua4:MvDHxQ_JAVQ:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=VwOlvBfyua4:MvDHxQ_JAVQ:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=VwOlvBfyua4:MvDHxQ_JAVQ:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=VwOlvBfyua4:MvDHxQ_JAVQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/VwOlvBfyua4" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
