SONGS NOT SHOWING UP UNDER ARTISTS (YES I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED)
Yes, I know this has been discussed many times but no one offers a reasonable solution.
The problem: for some reason SOME songs not in albums do not show up under the artist. For example, I have 6 Aerosmith songs, 1 of which has the name of the album. Now on ur ipod, not on itunes, only that one song with a tagged album will show up. For some reason, when you click the artist, instead of it giving you the option of clicking "All songs" and followed by choice of album, it is going DIRECTLY to the one album listed. The songs not listed under artist are there, if u browse by song, but not listed under artist.
Ok, here is the problem with every "fix" or "solution" given on this forum and all over the internet.
You say uncheck compilation. None of my songs are in a compilation or checked that, so lets forget that solution.
You say restore my ipod - did it, nothing changed.
Your simple solution: name the album on each song or erase the album info on each song.
THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
I do not know the name of the albums for half the songs on my ipod so why all of a sudden do I HAVE TO ID THE ALBUM NAME. This was never a problem before. Why can it not just say "ALL SONGS" when I click on an artist like it used to and then it will list all the songs whether they are in an album or not. Whatever update changed this really just added uneccessary frustration. Is there not a single option where I can change it back to the way it was?
Any help is appreciated. I do not want to sit and go through every song now and either search the album it comes from on the net or make up fake album names just to see the friggin songs under the artist. I do not have the time or patience for that.
