[scattered]

i think so. for example, I have a bunch of albums on my iPod listed under Elvis Costello for simplicitiy, when in actuality they break down into Elvis Costello, Elvis Costello & the Attractions, Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello & the Imposters, etc. since the ipod interface doesn't have a search feature like the my cellphone contact list, i had to simplify it to make scrolling easier, but there should be a way to keep the actual artist name.

Along these lines what I have always wanted is to have duplicate fields so that I can have one in English (so it shows up on my ipod) and another in a different language. iTunes can display hebrew characters but my ipod can't and its annoying, there is no reason I shouldn't be able to add transliterated versions of those artists so I can find them on the ipod.
