I am buying a car with iPod integration to the Navigation system. When I connect my iPod, I go to "artists" on the Nav screen and it comes up empty. Track, Genre, and other lists come up fine. In the past I have highlighted my entire library and cleared the unnececcary fields (Album artist, comments, etc) and I'm thinking the car may read album artist instead of artist.
So, I would like to copy the Artist for every song in my library into the Album Artist column. Is there an easy way to do this?
