iPod Classic - Big Sur - iTunes editing on iPod
Hi all,
Can't seem to find the specific issue I'm facing with Big Sur's ridiculous treatment of iPod classic on iTunes!
1 - Is there a way to have it in Alphabetical by Artist (with sub-order by Album title) as should be standard? Rather than song order. (see image 1) This is mostly preference, but it ties in with my next issues:
2 - Arranging them in the order I need to be able to group an album for editing is impossible as there is no search function any more, and pressing the relative letter of the alphabet to skip, does next to nothing as it only works for the letters visible on the page. Is there a way to change this?
3 - Now my main issue: once I have finally grouped the albums and artists in the correct alphabetical order, why can I no longer select that whole album or whole artist and edit them all at once.
example: an album with mixed artists is displayed on my iPod as multiple artists instead of my preferred lead artist (let's say... Gorillaz or MF DOOM) so to edit the album to have the same name for playback purposes (so my iPod isn't cluttered with 15 names of guest-spots for one album!) I would need to do so on iTunes... except that I can't edit even a single track without deleting the album and doing it all again in iTunes.
Hope I've been clear enough. I'm tearing my hair out at this baffling choice to make iTunes completely unusable.
Cheers.
