How do i fix the Album Select for syncing?


I want to put up my entire collection of music in iTunes however i am begining to realize that i wont have the space for all of it.


Alot of the soundtracks i have are Drama CD's which i could remove but i may want to re-add them later on so i want to avoid deleting them from iTunes. so i figured instead of syncing all songs i would sync selected albums since i wont listen to Drama CD's as often as an Opening/Ending Single.


Problem, the Album List is identical to the Artists list, it shows the Artist Meta Tag first which is a problem when it's very long


Album List on iPod


Album


In the first image is the Album Select list, the red highlighted album is has got a very long value for the Artist Meta Tag which is hiding the album name (the matching Album is in the second image)


Now my processes for getting Music is



  1. Buy CD

  2. Rip CD and Convert to MP3

  3. If MP3's contain Default "Unknown _________" then

    1. Locate Torrent

    2. Download all Version (normally there's MP3 and FLAC versions)

    3. Determine which has more complete Meta Tags and use it as replacement



  4. Import entire rip folder into iTunes


I do this because my PC does not connect to the internet. that said the Artist Meta Tag for the Album i have highlighted came like that in the download. I know one solution is to alter the Artists Meta Tag so that it's separated between it and the Contributing Artist Meta Tag but i have got a lot of songs which share the same problem particularly some of the names are in Japanese and not all that easy to know when to separate, that and i also want to trust the torrent uploaded that they have correct Meta Tags.


Now i am wondering how i can fix the Album Select to show the Album first rather than Arists? this will allow be to avoid reviewing thousands of songs




Also, as a second question related to this, as you can see in the screenshots the Album Yuru Yuri no Uta is appearing at the top when it should be at the bottom, i can determine this is because the Album Select is order by Artists Name. this is a problem for Soundtracks for Another, .Hack, Katanagatari and Code Geass as all of these have one or more soundtracks (mainly Opening/Ending Singles) who's Artist is ALI PROJECT, with Code Geass a number of their Endings is done by ALI PROJECT but one of their openings, COLOURS is done FLOW so given the current ordering the Code Geass Albums will be split up. While i can live with just fixing the list so Albums appear first it would be good to also have the Albums listed alphabetical order by Album Name and not Artist Name
