Ello,



Does anyone know if theres anyway to stop music from being organised into individual artists if you put a compilation album on the ipod? Had a look through iTunes on the PC but cant see anything.


Many thanks

    Are you uploading the whole album in one go? Just search through Album rather than Artist/Song

    You could put a Sort Artist of 'Various' onto the tracks in iTunes.

    You could go into the track properties for each track and tick the 'part of a compilation' box.

    You could amend all of artist names for all the tracks to 'Various'.

    Aren't there two different artist fields? I think I set "album artist" to various and "artsist" to whoever, then tick the "part of a compilation" as googler suggests...
