When I add new content to my library I always wipe the "album artist" and "comments" fields clean. This allows me to sort my music simply by artist. Yet for some reason itunes likes to duplicate the information from the "artist" field into the "album artist" field. Im not exactly sure under what conditions this happens, but it for sure happens sometimes while playing that track. This wreacks havoc on my collection as it displays tracks within an album out of order because the "album artist" field with the band's name in it takes precedence over the "artist field", so if itunes has copied the name of the band into the "album artist" field on tracks 7 and 8, they will display ahead of track 1.

help please
