iPod question

I have songs by the same artist, but under different headings (usually because of a "the"inthe name) is there a way to merge them? Is it also possible to merge genres that are similiar?

I’ve had that happen a few times, and I just go to iTunes and edit the names of the artists. That’s what has worked so far.

There is also a field called “Sort Artist name” that you can modify in iTunes, but I think that only helps when viewing your music files in iTunes. The field won’t show up on the iPod, and wil have no effect on how the music files are displayed on the iPod.

There is also a field called “Album Artist” that you can set using iTunes.

Also, if you highlight multiple songs and “Edit Info”, it will do so for the whole lot, so that you don’t have to do them one at a time.
