Question

album not showing under artist list

Aug 30, 2014 12:26PM PDT

I have one cd which I downloaded to iTunes, and then when I sync to my iPod touch it will show under the album listing, but not under the artist listing. Why is this so, when all other albums downloaded will show in the artist grouping, but not this one. Does anyone have any ideas how I might correct this.

It shows artist, album title, song name, and. genre. I rechecked to make sure it was not part of a compilation, deleted album and reloaded. Now something else is happening. iTunes is splitting the album and showing two songs as a separate album, and the remaing songs as another album, both with the same name.

Is this in a playlist?

Just a thought. Sounds like a bug. Head to the Apple forums for itunes next.

I do not know if it is a bug or not, but found a solution to the problem on everythingicafe forums. I changed name of artist for both album listings and iTunes immediately combined both into one album. I then changed the artist name back to the correct name and synced my iPod and everything is as it should be.
