Multiple Artists and Genres per Song

I listen to lots of electronic music, and I'm a professional DJ.
Electronic music is a very diverse and complex music category, and have lots of genres and sub-genres. Electronic music producers usually try to transpose genre boundaries, and they usually produce songs contained in two or more equally important genres. For instance, a track can be contained in the genres "house" and "techno", or "disco", "techno" and "acid".
Also, it's really very common that electronic music artists collaborate with each other. Songs produced in collaboration do not belong to one single artist, but to two or more. In this case, it's not correct to say that one is the main artist, and the others are second artists (collaborators, composers remixes, or whatever) - they all detain the same equal authorship status over the composed track.
The problem with iTunes is that it supports one single genre, and one single artist per song. Sure, there's the album artist, but, again, that doesn't apply to albums where multiple artists participate with equal importance. And using "V.A." or "Various Artists" in the song artist or album artist fields is ugly and useless - it doesn't say anything relevant.
I know that Smart Playlists and Grouping features can help alleviate this deficiency, but they don't solve them at all. They're not elegant and complete solutions. If you browse the iTunes library, you will still see tracks as having only one genre and one artist, which is very frustrating.
What I ask is really easy to implement. In fact, it wouldn't require to alter the existing ID3 and tag scheme. Just split artists and genres using a colon or semicolon character. For instance, in the "Artist" tag, iTunes can store the following:
    "Christian Smith; Mark Broom; Renato Cohen"
and then, in the browser, iTunes could display "Christian Smith", "Mark Broom" and "Renato Cohen" as three distinct artists.
The same could be used for the "Genre" tag:
    "Techno; House; Progressive"
could be see, in the browser, as three different genres: "Techno", "House" and "Progressive".
I've made an extensive web research, and I know that this deficiency doesn't annoy only me, but lots of other users. And it's a pretty old request too - dated from 2003.
Please, Apple, implement this feature. My huge electronic music collection really needs to be categorized into multiple artists and multiple genres.
Thank you.

Well said comment...
The solution to this problem overall is simple.
If I pull out my Ipod, and go to the section to browse by artist, then all artists would be listed individually in the list if they are separated in a song by the '&' symbol. In the main music list in itunes, this would not result in multiple copies of the file.
The same situation would apply in the genre browser. If there is a tag with "POP & Chinese" then the song would appear if I was searching in pop OR Chinese. It would not show a Genre called "POP & Chinese" in the genre browser. It would show POP and Chinese SEPARATELY in the list!!!
This is not a issue of some programming esoterica nor does it require some super genius to figure out.
Wake up Apple programmers....
Even smartlists are broken in the ipad/ipod and don't work the same way as they do in itunes. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT A5X chip that you can't fix this problem? I make a smartlist for the genre section at least and this allows me to accomplish what I stated above with genres by using the smartlists instead of the genre browser.
The artist browser and genre browser are worthless to me... since MANY of my songs have multi-artist and multi-genre separated by '&' and the stupid browser lists all the permutations instead of delimiting the genres and artists.
My genre list looks sorta like this:
Pop & chinese & instrumental
Pop & japanese
Pop & Soundtrack & Anime & Japanese
Pop & score & anime
Pop & chinese & vocal
Pop & electronica
What a mess... but I can't categorize my stuff any other way without making it hard to decide which place to put a song. Does a chinese soundtrack pop song get filed under chinese? or pop? or soundtrack? I SHOULD be able to find the song regardless of which sub-genre I look under in the genre browser.
This is basically simple. The people that understand this are basically right and Apple is WRONG on this... no matter what detractors on this thread say. The devices and software could easily be tweaked to dramatically improve the user experience but Apple is poor at getting involved in discussion forums like this to allow us to help them fix these issues. Some of the product developers on the app store are far more receptive to suggestions than Apple is. They are not getting enough of the advantages of crowd sourcing.
I would fly out to Cupertino and correct MANY UI mistakes/errors for them if they will have me out there...
I'll hold my breath and wait for a message to have me come out there. There are still a lot of things about OSX and iOS that can be made simpler too. still FAR too much extraneous junk and poor implementation of cloud capabilities.
Why on earth does itunes have a "get info" menu dropdown to get into track data? Why is the track data separated into 7 submenus separated by tabs? The whole data entry situation in itunes is way too complex. It's downright painful.
Why are there no 24bit audio files yet for premium prices? Are the people at apple doing too much LSD? WHAT IS GOING ON? You have to be disabled not to hear the difference between great recordings and that 256kbps garbage the peddle. come to my house on the 107db sensitivity speakers with a Class A amplifier and tell me you can't tell the difference and I will have your hearing checked.
hopefully the itunes department will contact someone on this thread to provide a list of the mistakes in itunes/ipod software so the problems can all be fixed.
An AUDIOPHILE needs to take over itunes and fix this nonsense STAT. It's simply embarassing at this point. Where are my 24 bit files on my 1000gb ipod? WHY IS THERE NO AUDIOPHILE IPOD? They can use there 100 billion cash hoard and make a GOOD home distribution system beyond "airplay/airport".
Why is mediocrity being considered at Apple when they do so many other things great? Considering I own half a million dollars in stock, believe me I do appreciate the company at large. I am only ranting about the treatment of audiophiles and the complete dumbing down of the music experience to mass garbage when we live in the 21st century.   What we see is important (retina display) but what we hear is not?
/rant off...
Apple feel free to contact me and I can tell you how to develop the BEST product for music ever implemented... I don't need compensation... I want products that I WANT to buy!!!!

I just moved my Itunes content to a computer with Win 7. I can only get "songs" in list view. How do I correct this so I can see Artist and Genre also in list view. The box to show all list in list view is checked but it only shows album view

I just moved all my itunes content to a windows 7 computer. I can only get "songs" in list view. Genre and Artist show as Album views. The box in preferences is checked so that all lists should show as list. How can I get a list view for Artists and Genre also?

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

All songs synced when selected playlists, artists and genres is used

For some reason when I check check "selected playlists, artists and genres" and uncheck the artists I do not want on the iphone they are not removed.
Reading the forums it was indicated that songs that are part of a playlist will not be removed so I deleted all the playlists and the songs/artists are still on the iphone.
I then removed all songs and added them back in but they are still there.
I even disabled genius and the artists/songs are still there.
I know I can manually manage the music but unchecking the artists would be very unwieldy.
The main summary screen is set to open itunes when this iphone is connected and nothing else and the music tab does not have the automatically fill free space with songs checked.

Just installed iTunes 10 in the hopes that this would resolve the issue but to no avail.
Help please I just want to sync my phone and leave off artists I uncheck (multiple albums and compilations)

Trying to change album art and album info on ipod

i am trying to change the album art and album info on my ipod touch while it is plugged into itunes but while it shows in the itunes window that this information is gone, the ipod still has it and won't update ??
i have a nano that contains all my music with full description but would just like to transfer a handful of songs to my touch and don't want the albums listed and song titles because i just have a few songs from the artist like a compilation ?
any help welcome..thanks

JP:
Are you sure the artwork's gone? When you add artwork to a music track via iTunes, it is actually added via the ID3 tag, which are embedded in the song file. The only way that the artwork could be removed if if the tag was modified or you converted your music files to a format that does not support ID3 v.2.x tags.
When you Get Info for a single random song file, and click on the tab for artwork, is this pane empty?
Have you opened the show artwork box under the Source menu in iTunes? (click on the button with the rectangle below the Source menu).
Otherwise, I am at a loss as to how all of your artwork disappeared simply by moving it from one drive to another.

Error message in case of One time vendor in MIR7 and MIR4.

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to give a warning message when an invoice document is parked in case if it is a One time vendor and bank details are missing. It should be an error message if user is trying to save it as completed or posting the document. We have already found a BADI INVOICE_UPDATE method CHANGE_AT_SAVE for giving error / warning message but we also want the same to be appeared in the popup coming when we press Messages button in MIR4 screen same way as standard messages are shown. I know that there is a table T_ERRPROT which need to be populated in order to show the messages in the popup window but could not find any appropriate user exit or badi to populate this table. Any suggestion or solutions are welcomed.
Thanks and Regards,

There were apple updates with IOS7.1. After the updates, the Apps store and the iTunes updated in japanese instead of English. I have tried apple support and went through the steps one by one to change to English and it did not work. Help!

Is there anyone that has a problem with changing the Apps and iTunes language back to English after the IOS 7.1 updates on their iPhone? Ihave contacted Apple support and followed the step by step instructions and it did not change it to English. The original language is English. I reset all settings and turned the phone off and it still did not change the language in the software eventhough the settings for language is set in English. When I went on line support.apple.com, in the iTunes section it states that the software iTunes 11.1.7, I think changes the language in the Apps whenever there are updates in the IOS 7.1. Is there anyone that can help me.

Auto Time change, Sound mute and trying to read something before windows 7.

Dear,
I recently bought a MacBook Pro i7. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate through Boot Camp. But after installing i am faceing few problems as listed below:
1: *Automatic Time change*
When i am in windows 7 and i switch to Mac OS X the time of my Mac OS X automaticly changes every time and i have to adjust the time every time i switch from Windows 7 to Mac OS X. This problem is when i change my operatinf system from Win to Mac.
2: *Sound Mute*
Whenever i log into Windows 7 i always fine the sound to be mute and i always have to unmute the sound from the button.
3: *MacBook trys to read something before Windows 7 starts booting*
Whenever i start windows 7, before the windows 7 booting screen, there is a black screen with a gray underscore (_) which blinks for a minute or two. And after that the booting of windows 7 starts. That (_) makes me wait a lot before booting into windows 7.
Please help me regarding these problems of mine. I even called the Apple care but they dint have any solution to it.
Waiting for your reply.

hi,
I tried all the methords as u said and it dint work atoll for me. If you have a video or some kinda software which can dignolise these problems than i feel that i can do it. Neways im rely getting so ****** off that after buying such an expensive product, it cant give me complete satisfaction, I feel that apple should first make their current products perfect and then go on launching some other products. Apple shoudent lie to sell it products that windows is compatible with MacBook. I went to a authorised service center Unicorn Infosolutions Pvt Ltd situated in Mumbai,Maharashtra,India. Even they said that all these three problems cant be resolved. This is rely bad, i never thought that apple is like this!!!! i always was a fan of apple n used to always pro-vogue people to buy its products. But now i dont think so. Neways if buy chance there is some other methord or way than please tell me.

Same file copying up to 20x throughout songs, albums artists and genres, when syncing itunes to ipod. Restored ipod classic 3 times in lastest itunes with a new user but no difference. Anyone had this happening?

Just brought IPod Classic. When sync my iTunes library to iPod multiple files, up to 20times are copying in all music categories. Apple support got me restoring iPod then creating a whole new iTunes library in a new user on my computer. Did this, sync again, same problem. Anyone experienced this?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

My ipod Touch 32gb 4th generation, doesnt want to sync my changes like rename one of songs or artists and on the computer it shows that it is fixed but on my ipod it doesnt i also tryed putting a artwork on a album cover and it wont sync either.

so what do i do for it to sync?
help please

Did you try unsyncing the music and then resyncing? Your is a common problem after iOS 5.

Zen Touch: How to edit multiple songs artists and genres at once with new firmwa

With the old firmware I was able to do that with Nomad Explorer. But with the V2 firmware, I cannot use the Nomad Explorer anymore, and Media Source Organizer only alows to edit one track at once. Zen Touch Explorer also does not allow me to do that.
I tried to use Windows Media Player 0 and it worked, but after I closed the program and started it again, all my edits at the Library were gone. If I edit the library and sync to my Zen Touch will it apply what I edited on the library or will it keep the original ID3 tag from the song? How to make the modification permanent to the MP3 ID3 tag on the PC?
I think creative should allow edition of multiple songs with Zen Touch Explorer on the same way Nomad Explorer used to do with firmware V.

I haven't seen a program which does batch editing for MTP devices. Real Player does allow you to edit the ID3 tags of songs on the player, but one at a time.
With most music programs when you change an ID tag on your computer it doesn't update on the player, so you would have to delete it from the player first then retransfer it, or find a program which edits the tags on the player such as Real Player.
The issue is most likely speed, it will take awhile to do batch editing on the player so that could be a reason why programs dont support it..

You were getting help on this problem in your other thread. It usually is best to continue the active one rather than start an all new one for the same problem. If the answer(s) you get in the other thread don't help, specify why and the original poster, or others will usually add detail to their answers. Starting a new thread usually results in repeated work, as the respondents may not have seen what was proposed in the other thread.

I would like to ask about one time charges, recurring charges and customization of adobe connect....

Customization; i want to change the adobe connect to my organization name. It is possible or not.
Thanks

If you are one of Adobe's montly plans, no, you cannot customze the URL of the account to your organization. If you purchased and annual account through a reseller, then you should be able to request a custom URL for your account. If that is not what you are asking about, please clarify.
Did you have a question about charges? Those may best be addressed by the Adobe Support team.
