In Itunes (Assume my data as being correct in this example, i.e., no “but that should really be credited to …”):
Song Title / Artist / Album Artist / Album Title
Oh, My, My / The Monkees / The Monkees / Changes
Ticket on a Ferry Ride / The Monkees / The Monkees / Changes
Do It in the Name of Love / Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones / The Monkees / Changes
Lady Jane / Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones / The Monkees / Changes
(Theme From) The Monkees / The Monkees / Then and Now…The Best of the Monkees
Last Train to Clarksville / The Monkees / The Monkees / Then and Now…The Best of the Monkees
That Was Then, This Is Now / Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork / The Monkees / Then and Now…The Best of the Monkees
Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere / Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork / The Monkees / Then and Now…The Best of the Monkees
When I transfer the data to my Ipod, it comes out like this:
Artists:
Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones
– Do It in the Name of Love
– Lady Jane
The Monkees
– Changes
— Oh, My, My
— Ticket on a Ferry Ride
–Then and Now…The Best of the MOnkees
—(Theme From) The Monkees
—Last Train to Clarksville
Albums:
Changes
– Oh, My, My
– Ticket on a Ferry Ride
– Do It in the Name of Love
– Lady Jane
Then and Now…The Best of the Monkees
– (Theme From) The Monkees
– Last Train to Clarksville
– That Was Then, This Is Now
– Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere
“Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork” does not appear in the “Artist” menu and those two tracks don’t seem to be accessible through that menu at all.
UPDATE: I think I’ve figured it out. It’s because I have the “Then and Now” album marked as a “compilation.” So my question now is this: What is the point of the compilation tag? All it seems to do is screw up sorting data.
