[SOLVED] Zune Music Organization

Empireofrain · 10-04-2008, 12:26 PM

When i look in my collection, my artists, songs, and albums are all neatly serperated. On my Zune however, if i have an album with various artists, it adds them into my artists section (it doesnt do this on the computer). This means out of 10 albums downloaded, i can have over 100 different artists, often with only ONE song, and usually a band ive never heard of.
I downloaded a soundtrack to the movie The Matrix and there were 4 or so different artists. Now that i look in my "Artists" section of my Zune, theres several artists ive never heard of. Now, 3 or 4 extra artists isnt a problem, but when i have 30 artists ive never heard of thats clogging up my Artists section, it makes it difficult to get to the artists i have heard of. Is there any way to make my Zune organize artists like it does on my computer?

Unfortunately no. The Zune's interface isn't like the software where it can show multiple panes like the software....

Unless you change the artist's names to 'Various Artists' the Zune device will display every single artist separately no matter which album it's from...

Hope that helps...

Thank you for reading my messy rant. They should offer an option to be like the software. Are there any "software hacks"? Or other versions?

No, we can't hack the firmware to make this happen on the device, and there's nothing but the official version.
