Is there anyway to have an album show up under two different artists without having to copy the album twice? I have an EP that's a collaboration between Britt Daniel and Bright Eyes, and I would really like it if I could list it under both "Spoon" and "Bright Eyes", rather than have a separate "Britt Daniel & Bright Eyes" category on my iPod. :?

in the tags there's an Artist and an Album Artist field. for Album Artist put Britt Daniel & Bright Eyes then whichever songs you want to go to Spoon put Britt Daniel and the same for Bright Eyes.

I was hoping I could put all of the songs in both, but this might be another option. Thanks for the help.

hmmm. actually maybe if you put one of them in the Artist field and the other in the Album Artist field this might work.

so i have a question myself now.

is it possible to make ipod playlists show the artist>album> song in a folder type structure? basically the same format structure as when you browse the music library.
