MKJ Messatsu Ko Jy-ouu Joined: 24 Nov 2000 Posts: 39787	Posted: 05-04-2009 06:38 AM                    thats the thing. when its added to your ipod it stores it as itunes would have, regardless of how you organized it yourself. bit of a cunt. its almost like it wasnt meant for reverse importing ! [edit] akshually, scratch that. iTunes would sort it like obs posted (sans underscore). It's really the iPod's internal sorting that fucks things up. Pianowires are needed, I think.

WTF? All these songs where legitimately bought and paid for...
