It inspects my iTunes library (which, by the way, is pretty darn huge) and looks up inconsistencies of all sorts, ranging from typos (REM versus R.E.M.) to those pesky Compilation tags on tracks with only one "Album" artist (Note: Not "Album Artist," but an "Artist" on one "Album"). Right now I'm using the awesome (although somewhat unpretty) app "beaTunes 2" to help with my iTunes organizational woes. So do I mark it as a NOT compilation, since iTunes' organizational method won't properly group everything from the Playlist/Grouping under one folder, anyway? The "Compilation" indicator has nothing to do with "Grouping," for example, which is what I use for fanmix tracks that already have the album information in there. But the problem is, what if it's two fanmixes where the rest of the album information is intact? Marking it as a "Compilation" is technically inaccurate, since that term implies that there are various artists on a single ALBUM. It's easier to a) just have two of the same song or b) just not care about the artwork and swap it when you feel like it (if you remember). * If a song is on two fanmixes, you can have multiple album artwork images embedded into the one song, but only one will display unless you switch it. Of course it doesn't say anything about the artist or the track itself. * If there's no genre and I don't know the artist, what do I do? You can pretty much create your own genres, and "Fanmix" is a valid genre in iTunes. If not, I'll add the bare minimum of what I care about and move on. I tend to go with the flow-if stuff's already tagged/labeled and has the artwork attached, yay. It's a fun way of telling a story, exploring a pairing, sharing your love for a fandom, and for discovering new music.Īlas, it's kind of a pain to organize said music, especially since everyone has their own methods.
