Just wondering. I thought about it, but I haven't. Have you?

I had to look thru my play list on my iPhone and I do have some of the albums listed for 'artist' as o(+> on the albums, I hadn't even given this a second thought. I need to put my copy of 20Ten on my iPhone and iPod ...

I mark it as Prince, easier to explain to the wife.

As far as iTunes goes...

I use the Grouping field to keep this stuff straight.

One grouping is Prince Associates

One grouping is Prince Live

One grouping is Prince Outtakes

Then I have 4 smart playlists:

Prince - where grouping contains "Prince"

Prince Associates - where grouping = "Prince Associates"

Prince Live - where grouping = "Prince Live"

Prince Outtakes - where grouping = "Prince Outtakes"

iTunes has been WAY off when trying to find the covers for more obscure things like Vanity 6 and The Family... good times.

how does the "grouping" field work? i've read it's mostly to keep movements in classical or jazz works together, so i've never messed around with it

All is under Prince, except for protégés. What would I do if I wanted to shuffle through all Prince songs? If I sorted everything under the band names, I would have to make a playlist of the bands first before I could start. Now I just click Prince and shuffle.

I know what the bands were called when he recorded the albums. I don't need the ID3-tags to remind me of that...
