It seems to be a common complaint that when searching through all the artists on your iPod you come to a point where you know an artist is there, but you just can’t see them listed!
I had this problem the other day, I just fancied listening to the classic extended version of the brilliant Life’s What You Make It by Talk Talk, so I went in to my list of artists and scrolled down to the T’s, no Talk Talk at all, hang on I’ve got the remix album on there!
Now this had me stumped, I could find Talk Talk by searching with the search option and even by album, but why not the artist in the artists list, very strange indeed, so I investigated and played with some of the settings on my iPod, I eventually got Talk Talk listed.
So How Did I Get The Missing Artist Listed On My iPod Again?
After a while of “tweaking” I discovered that by going into the settings of my iPod and selecting Main Menu then un-selecting Compilations, Talk Talk and a few other artists re-appeared in the list of artists.
It seems that when the Compilations option is selected the iPod will puts albums and tracks is a directory called Compilations, making the tracks invisible in the normal artists section, bit of a pain, but at least I got it sorted out.
So there you have it, if you are having trouble finding missing artists on your iPod then this could be the problem, it’s a simple thing to fix and hopefully it should work 😉
