[QUOTE="8bit, post: 65455, member: 17186"] If I remember correctly (I'm not at home right now so can't check until after work), iTunes displays the contents of the AlbumArtist tag in the "Composer" field. This can be seen in the track properties by right-clicking the track and selecting "Get Info" and selecting the appropriate tab in there, maybe it can be displayed as a field in the main library list as well. Generally the "Artist" tag should contain the artist the album is attributed to and the "AlbumArtist" tag should contain the person(s) individually credited with writing the track, this is obviously somewhat determined by how much attention whoever first submitted the album info to Gracenote CDDB has paid to the task! EDIT: Sorry, obviously that should be the other way round, IIRC AlbumArtist is what iTunes calls "Artist" and Artist is what iTunes calls "Composer", sorry for the confusion. :) [/QUOTE]
