i made a couple compilations of SP b-sides, etc. and made a track order for them and all that. and when i have my ipod plugged into my computer, itunes shows it in the right order, but when i'm just listening to my ipod, the first couple tracks are moved later in the album. anyone know why this might be? thanks

if you go to each song individually and right click, click get info, then look at info there is a box on the right that says track # of track #. if you fill that in it should work (like 7 of 26)

yeah i did originally. they're in the right order when i'm in itunes, but not when i'm just going through the ipod

nvm i figured it out. it was that damn "album artist" thing. i was only paying attention to "aritst" and didn't notice some tracks also had "album artist" filled in with SP. apparently that negates the track order. whatevr.

thanks

The ipod sorts by album artist, yes.

What annoys me slightly is that "A Perfect Circle" now shows under P instead of A.

does it drop 'the' off of band names, too, brendon?

for me, "the" is not considered, but A Perfect Circle is in the A's

a perfect circle used to be under A for me with my old ipod, but now it's P.

i haven't updated my itunes in a long time. maybe that's why mine hasn't changed.

Amazing how the concept of playlists seem to be beyond everyone in this thread.

not as big a fan of playlists compared to just playing stuff via album with all the other music.

sure, but i like my library to be neat too and in the order i want it.

the A thing is an itunes 7 thing i think.

AFAIK it's always dropped "The", putting the pumpkins between Slayer and Sörskogen for me. I like this.
