If you're looking for a particular song on your iPod and browse by artist (select Music > Artists), you may notice that some songs that you know are on your iPod are missing. This can happen if a song file is missing the album name information from its ID3 tag. You will be able to find such songs in the Songs menu.
To assign an album name to a song file:
- Open iTunes.
- Select the song or songs that you want to edit.
- From the File menu, choose Get Info.
- Click the Info tab.
- Type the album name in the Album field, make any other changes that you wish, and then click OK.
- If you have iTunes set to update songs on your iPod automatically, choose Update iPod from the File menu. If you manually update your iPod, drag the song from your iTunes library to the iPod icon in the Source list.
If you have an iPod classic or iPod nano (3rd generation), click here for more information.
