Crazy problem. When I download music from Itunes on my computer to my Iphone, a large number of the songs' artist name is replaced with "various." This makes organizing music on my phone impossible. The longs are all listed correctly in itunes. Something seems to be getting mixed up during the download. Any suggestions?
