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.
