I have an artist in itunes and 1/2 albums I misspelled the first name.

I don't see a find and replace (like in Word), and the itunes interface is now a total non intuitive mess. So stumped. Thanks.

Select all the songs by that misspelled artist, hit Cmd-i, and change the info.

Amazingly, I don't even see a quick way to edit one. Double click a song and brings up the song to play. Maybe I'm missing it.

You're working from the search results drop-down?

Why aren't you using the artist view to show all tracks by the mis-spelled artist and just selecting all tracks from there?
