But, for some reason an artist like The Maine for example, some is going under T and some is going under M. But b/c they organize and all that stuff i can't drag the stupid thing into its place. How do i jsut do that? how do i make it possible for me to drag a song into the spot that i want it to be in? Thanks, but.. I’m still like. :| .

For example: 3 of my folders are: Fav_Songs_08, Fav_Songs_89, Fav_Songs_90 These folders contains my favorite songs for year 08, 89 and 90 respectively. Now when I import these songs into ipod classic through itunes, I can't see my 3 folders: rather it sorts music by artist, genre, and so on.... But I would like to see exactly same folder on my ipod classic. for example, if I want to play my favorite songs from 08, I should be able to go to folder Fav_songs_08 in my ipod and play the songs. I am not able to do it so far. I have tried a lot and spent lot of time on it. is there is any way or workaround? Thanks a lot for all your help! Take care! Hi,

Preferences> General> click "Group Compilation when browsing" Then right click on the song > Get Info. Make sure under the info tab all the info is the same besides the Artist. Then proceed to the Sorting tab Get Info> Sorting Under "Sort Artist" make sure you type "Various Artists" Then proceed to the Options tab Get Info> Options Make sure you check "Part of Gapless Album" for all songs. Repeat these steps for all the songs that you want on the same CD Enjoy! After spending a day trying to figure out how to get my soundtrack cds to display all artists on album view I finally figured it out.

Preferences> General> click “Group Compilation when browsing”

Then right click on the song > Get Info.

Make sure under the info tab all the info is the same besides the Artist.

Then proceed to the Sorting tab
Get Info> Sorting

Under “Sort Artist” make sure you type “Various Artists”

Then proceed to the Options tab
Get Info> Options

Make sure you check “Part of Gapless Album” for all songs.

Repeat these steps for all the songs that you want on the same CD

Enjoy!

Album View now shows the album name with the main artist correctly and still allows you to keep individual tracks with any additional artist details. Hope this helps!
