Or, they catalog the whole thing as 'various artists' out of laziness. <BR/><BR/>iTunes does have this Album Artist category they added, but no one is really using it. Is that part of the ID3 tags or just an apple 'extra'?MoonshineMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127819454547893770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21760390.post-28437853760234925472007-06-12T06:02:00.000-07:002007-06-12T06:02:00.000-07:00I've used MusicMatch to rip, it organizes things i...I've used MusicMatch to rip, it organizes things in Album/track format, using Supertagging to recognize tracks. It also manages duplicate deletion, which can be critical as libraries get large. However, it does not interface well to an iPod, alas.DaveBHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700710686034653810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21760390.post-41964040872859971392007-06-11T22:07:00.000-07:002007-06-11T22:07:00.000-07:00To group together a bunch of tracks as an album, i...To group together a bunch of tracks as an album, independent of distinct artists, simply select them all and set "compilation" to "yes". As long as they have the same album name, they'll be treated as a single group.<BR/>Easy as pie.<BR/><BR/>I do agree - iTunes has a lot of flaws. My list is just different than yours.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884572677350977669noreply@blogger.com
