For the Arty tracks use the Songs view. Click the small magnifying glass in the search box and make sure Search entire library is not ticked. Type in Arty in the search box.


Select all of the tracks where you consider Arty to be the Artist (not the collaborations) and enter/retype Arty as the Artist.

Delete any content in the Sort Artist field.

Select all of the tracks where you consider Arty to be the Album Artist (this can include the collaborations, but doesn't have to) and enter/retype Arty as the Album Artist.

Delete any content in the Sort Album Artist field.


If you want the collaborations to appear under Arty change the song Name to <Name> [Feat. <Guest>] and then change the Artist to Arty.


Repeat with other duplicated artists as needed.
