I know you resolved this issue but, for the sake of others who might not have figured it out, here's an example where artist and album artist can help: On the most recent Tony Bennett album, Duets 2, each song's artist label includes Tony Bennett and his guest's name. So, in itunes, you get twenty different artists pertaining to that one album. In order to play the album, you couldn't just arrow down to tony Bennett and select the album. You'd have to view things differently or search or whatever.
In a case like this, selecting all of the songs in the table and getting info will bring up a dialog to simultaneously edit the ID3 tags. By putting in "Tony Bennett" as album artist, the album now shows up under a single artist's name. Each individual song still has tony and the guest listed as artist but the album shows up under the general artist folder for Tony Bennett. Hope that helps someone, Slau On Dec 1, 2012, at 10:15 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: > Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but it seems to me like these would > be the same thing. > Best, > Donna > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
