There are some songs on my iPod that dont show up under the artist name but are listed in the Songs list. I dont know why they're missing. And I also dont know how to get rid of multiple listings of the same artist...for example, i have red hot chili peppers listed 3 times. i tried converting all the songs by the same artist into AAC files but it didnt do anything. any suggestions?
FIrst for songs in the "Songs" list but not in the "Artist" list, you need to add an album name to the song in iTUnes. THis is a small bug in the ipods software.
Now for the 3 listings if Red Hot Chili Peppers, You need to get there names EXACT on ALL songs in iTUnes. If theres one song by them with a different way of the artist it will show multiple listings. For example
Red Hot Chili Peppers (Here all words begin in capital letters)
red hot chili peppers (Here there all lower case)
Red Hot CHili Peppers (This is the hard one, there 2 spaces between red and hot and alot of times its not that noticable on iTUnes at first)
Select all songs of Red Hot Chili Peppers and change the Artist name and other information for all songs. Now you have the same information for the whole album. Makes it a lot easier and faster to control your songs on your iPod.
