How to get music labeled under “various artists” to appear under the artist themselves

itunes

I'm uploading some of my albums and I have a few things (such as soundtracks) that have multiple artists on the album. I want the individual songs to show up under the artist instead of the "various artist" label. I've tried unclicking the "part of compilation" button, but it isn't quite working. Any suggestions?

Best Answer

Besides the Compilation checkbox, look under the Sorting tab. The songs are probably configured with sort artist as "various artist". Clear that field for all of the tracks and they will default back to the appropriate artist value.

Way to set multiple artists for one song

There is no easy way to do this, you only have one artist field per track.

What you could do is listing the name of all artists in the artist field and then create smart playlists with rules for "Artist contains".
