My brother's retarded Zune is messing with my iTunes.

[Sief9]

My brother uses Zune, and I use iTunes, so all my music get's messed up every once in a while, cause we share the same music. How can I get it so that, for example: I have the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, and I set it as "various artists", it has probably 10 different artists, and they all go under "compilations" at the very bottom of my iTunes.

What his Zune does is change the album artist on some of the tracks to (yet another example for one of the tracks the artist is "Danny Elfman", and it'll change the album artist, to that. And it annoys the hell out of me.

Anyone know how to get rid of this problem?

Get a separate account on the same computer. Or duplicate the folder and sync your iPod with that folder and have your brother use the previous folder. Syncing two devices with the same library is trouble. Just don't do it.

I think iTunes and Zune are each trying to correct each other's metadata. So here's what I think you should do:

Open up the Zune Software, and on the top right: click Settings. Now make sure you're in the Software tab, and click on Collection on the left side of the software, scroll down to "Media Info" and uncheck "Automatically update album art and metadata"

That should solve the problem. I always have that set unchecked, I don't like any software correcting my metadata.
