In my music library, there are some artists that do a lot of collaborations with other artists. This is a problem when I sort by artist on my iPod Touch (running the latest software). The best example is the Melvins. The Melvins have worked with over 30 artists in their career, so when I'm scrolling past the Ms I get a list that looks like this:
Melvins & Foetus
Melvins & Jello Biafra
Melvins & Mike Patton
Melvins & Skeleton Key
Melvins & Tool
Melvins & Lustmord
Melvins & Leif Garret
Melvins & Lee Ronaldo
Melvins & Hank Williams III
...and it just keeps going.
I have tried entering "Melvins" for the sort artist, sort album artist, and album artist fields in iTunes, and nothing is any different on my iPod. How can I get all these listed artists under one name, so that all the Melvins collaborations appear under just "Melvins" and not over 30 "Melvins & ...'s" but keep the current artist name for the songs? I want to know that some of the songs are by more than one artist, but group those songs under one artist on my iPod.
