When I open the iPod Artists menu, a couple of artists are missing. However, when I open the Songs menu, I can scroll through and find the songs for those artists who do not appear in the Artist menu. The Songs menu lists the name of the song and accurately displays the name of the artist.
How can I get these artists to appear in the Artist menu?
All artists and songs are through iTunes. The ‘missing’ artists appear on iTunes.
This is the answer. Even if you think that they’re not part of a compilation, iTunes sometimes has them checked as such. So highlight all of the songs on your iPod and right click for the menu (preferences?) and click the compilation on + off again. Then click OK (or apply).
I had to do this a couple months ago and that solved the problem.
While people are talking iPod, any idea on why there are two listings for many artists? Exact same spelling, punctuation, etc and yet the songs are split between two different listings.
Sometimes there is a space after the artist’s name and it does that. Highlight all the songs in iTunes and while it might show the album info, it won’t show the artist name. Type it in and it will consolidate both to one name.
Here’s another issue. My wife apparently has some TV shows on there that she’s tried to delete, but she just can’t seem to delete them. They won’t go away.
