Separating clean and explicit versions on same album

I purchased the explicit and clean versions of Renaissance and when I did, they merged together. Same album title, but each song alternates clean, then explicit. How can I separate the albums on my actual ipod?

iPod, iOS 9

G'day troubleshoot60,


We see you have a question about how songs are grouped on your iPod. Since these songs are part of the same album, it's normal that they will be grouped together as such. If you have access to a computer and you're syncing the content from there to your iPod, you could edit the metadata by right-clicking and selecting Get Info, and then editing the Album field.


Otherwise, since they're the same album, there wouldn't be a way to separate those on your iPod.


Depending on whether you have a PC or a Mac, the steps in these links will be a good guide on editing metadata:


Change song and CD information in Music on Mac


Change song and CD information in iTunes on PC


Best wishes.
