Even if this is an iTunes bug, you'll be able to get more people switching to MM if they can do so in a seemless manner. Many people will want to use both SW for a while (however silly that is). Although this is an iTunes bug, if there was a way it could be worked-around in the MM code --in a way that doesn't break standards-- this would be great.

Some possible solutions:
Does iTunes always do this? What if the "Artist" field is stored in the ID3v2 before the "Album Artist" field? (Or vice-versa?)
Or could there be a multiple artist option:
[X] use the Album Artist ID3 tag. (Better, but may cause problems with iTunes.
[ ] Let MM guess what your compilations are (Compatible with iTunes but slower and less accurate.)

Thanks. I knew it wasn't an MM issue- It had to be an Itunes one.

I'll keep searching for a workaround.

Thanks!

Itunes uses MM Album Artist as Artist in case both are found. It is not MM issue. I can remember that there was some solutions/workarounds for that in forum but some time ago.

I apologize if this has been asked before. I searched for an answer and couldn't find one.

My problem deals with Artist, and Album Artist not showing up in itunes correctly after I have auto tagged with MM from Amazon.

For instance, I have a lot of compilation albums- and I auto tag them with MM.

In MM after being auto tagged, the Artist (Bing Crosby) and Album Artist (Various Artists) show up correctly for the compilation.

But when I import the folder or file into itunes, only "Various Artists" is shown. It seems that itunes takes the "Album Artist" tag from MM as the "Artist" tag.

Is there a way around this? I would like to see the actual name of the Artist as I do in MM, and not have it show up as "Various Artists" in itunes.

Thanks for your patience.
