    why is it that some songs displayed in my library show up differently than others. most of my songs have the full title "artist - song title" under the "title" column in itunes. but some songs just have the song title. its pretty annoying since on my ipod they show up the same way. my id3 tags are all set up the same way, so i am unsure as to what is going on. any help? thanks.

    Did you download the songs or have you imported them from a CD?

    Also, are the tags OK initially, and then suddenly change?

    OK, if you go to import a CD, and your songs don't automatically tag up, go 'Advanced' and then 'Get CD Track Names'

    Well...how do you tag the mp3's? if they are downloaded, it's extremely unlikely they will be all tagged perfectly

    well i do download mp3s, but i open them all up with an id3 editor and delete all the info except the artist and title of the song. all my mp3s are like this, and only some recent ones are showing up just song title in itunes.

    Try Tag&Rename instead, it is by far the best..
