How to reduce number of artists in artist category who do not have a full album?

The category I use most on my ipod touch is the "Artist" category,
because I generally like to listen to full albums and to a single artist for a fair amount of time.
Something I find really annoying is when I put compilation albums  on my ipod , which feature multiple artists with 1 or 2 songs each per album ;
Suddenly my "artist" category is FILLED with all these artists who only have one or 2 songs each.
I find that really annoying.
Is there some way to narrow down artists that on my ipod that have, for example, less than 5 songs, and put them all in one big compilation folder?
Or to make them just not display in the artist category?
It just confuses me when I look at my ipod to see all these artists who have only one or two songs.
That's not what I want to listen to.
The only things I want to see listed in the artist category are artists who have at least ONE FULL ALBUM on my ipod.
I hope my question makes sense,
as well as the reason for my asking it.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Hi Jon.
Sorry if you kind of answered this already.
I'm going through and manually renaming the "album artist" column for tracks which do not have this information.
Most of these tracks have the "artist" column filled.
[This is actually becoming a bit laborious, plus there is actually a fair bit of waiting time for itunes to fill in the track metadata on all the tracks after I have selected multiple tracks and typed it in, and it won't allow me to continue tagging while it does this.]
SO......
I was wondering if there was a way to get the album artist column to be automatically filled by mirroring what is in the artist column?
I found this excellent looking tool,
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=tagsmirrorartalbfnom
but I don't know how to use it.
It would be excellent if there is some way to do this without a 3rd party solution, but if I knew how to use this tool, it looks very good too.

    print to a pdf and email the pdf to the client.
    You can print to pdf from any application by selecting the menu item "File > Print..."
    then click the "PDF" button in the botton left corner.
    I recommend using the "Save as PDF..." item from the list so you can save the pdf with a meaningful name then attach that file to an email.

    Okay, I left off a lot of important information...
    I'm using two tables
    TWDATA
    EVENT
    From TWDATA I'm pulling the fields TWDATA.OrderNumber and TWDATA.DisbursementDate
    From EVENT I'm pulling the fields EVENT.EventCode and EVENT.CompletedDate
    The two tables are linked by OrderNumber.

    You cannot copy or migrate Adobe applications from computer to computer. There are a whole host of files in different locations which have to be installed, and copying will not do it.
    In fact, you'll now have to use the Adobe Cleaner tool to remove the mess you created. You can get to it here:

    How do I solve the issue of this message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" on my iTunes? I already went to the folder of iTunes inside the Finder and change all permissions to allow read and write... no improvement at all. Any help? thanks!

    Hi! I just realized I have two folders called library, one is inside HD alongside with System and users, then I have also "library" inside users, some of the folders are apparently repeated, some are missing. And all the music is inside a folder called iTunes Music, inside Music, inside users. Now that I relaized some folders are repeated I applied to all related to iTumes r/w permission. But the annoying message keeps coming on.
    And yes, I am using Leopard, 10.5.8.
    Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Lion uses Recovery to reinstall OS X. Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Lion. The other Mac has probably got its hard disk damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store

  • How to reduce number of colors in an image

    I am fairly new to Photoshop and I'm learning as I go, so I apologize for using your time.  I haven't worked with images that much - I've used MS Digital Image Suite with photos from my camera.  That's the extent of my knowledge.
    I am taking over a job from someone who is gone and I can't ask him how to do this.  He used Photoshop to reduce the number of colors in an image (for example, a color drawing or clipart) to 2-6 colors.  I haven't been able to figure this out.  I've visited this site that explains how to reduce tones but it's still a lot of colors.  I thought I might learn something from this link that explained how to make Photoshop cartoons, but I didn't.  I've done a lot of searching but nothing seems to explain this.  I know that the other guy had some knowledge of Photoshop but he wasn't a power user.
    Thanks to anyone who will help me.  (I am using CS5.)

    Are you sure that he was using Photoshop? (see my third solution)
    There are some plug-ins for Photoshop, but they basically do the same as the posterize or index mode: http://www.topazlabs.com/simplify/ (commercial) see this panel for colorizing comic art: http://vimeo.com/user3771002/videos
    I would rather use posterize, as an adjustment layer, as you can control it.
    Try with this layer stack, from bottom to top:
    Convert the original image in a Smart Object, in order to use Smart filters and blur the image (Gaussian Blur, or noise>median or blur>smart blur or blur>surface blur could be interesting internatives) would be useful, to make smoother posterized areas.
    A dodge/burn layers (a neutral gray layer in overlay mode) to adjust areas using the Dodge/burn tools.
    the Posterize Adjustment layer, with very few colors
    On top of it, put a gradient map adjustment layer, to control the posterized colors
    Vectorizing in Illustrator can also be used to reduce the number of colors. Live Trace: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-6229a .html

  • How to reduce the data in the "Other" category on the iTunes devices sync page?

    How can I reduce the amount of date found in the "Other" category at the bottom of the screen on the iTunes device sync page?
    or
    How can I view what data is contained within the "Other" category?
    and
    I have 5.38 GBs of data in the "Other" category that I need to reduce or eliminate.

    I got the answer off another thread I was reading. Just trying to spread it around now.
    Go to:
    Settings>General>Usage
    Now for me, I have about 6GB of music on mine. What I did was select music, Now Left swipe the All Music row and press delete. After that I opened up my phone on iTunes and synced it like normal. The other data was gone after that.
    Hope this helps everyone!
