Help with an Ipod, ID3 tagging, sorting etc

[StreetDragster]

Hi All

I've decided to jump into the 21st century and get an iPod, a 16GB 5th Generation Ipod Nano to be exact.

Now my friend advised me that prior to the arrive of this piece of modern technological masterpiece, i would have to confirm that my mp3 files where correctly ID3 tagged.

So off i went, sorting all 2500 of them

Arrives my ipod, i sync away expecting all to go the plan, but it doesn't, here's my problem


Lets Say I have Two Albums, One with a single artist, one with various artists. (Made up names/titles bTW)

My ID3 Tagging goes like this-

Track = 1
Title = Vogue
Artist = Madonna
Album = Madonnas Greatest Hits

Track = 2
Title = Like A Virgin
Artist = Madonna
Album = Madonnas Greatest Hits

Track = 1
Title = One Vision
Artist = Queen
Album = Best Rock

Track = 2
Title = Thunderstuck
Artist = ACDC
Album = Best Rock

Now, the only fields my collection has filled in is Title, Artist, Album, Track No and Disc no, all other ID3 tag fields are blank

Now the problem is, when i go into my ipod musci menu, select albums, i get the following list-

Madonnas Greatest Hits
[i]Madonna[/i]
Best Rock
[i]Queen[/i]
Best Rock
[i]ACDC[/i]

And i'm expecting to see, because these are in the album name field-
Madonnas Greatest Hits
Best Rock

So what have i done wrong?

Sorted it now thanks, i had to repopulate the album artist id3 tag on the whole collection.

Works ok now though.

Now if i can just figure out how to get it to put song names in alphabetical order, bloody apple.
