First Post

So I was trying to organise my iTunes songs via a neat program called ID3 Editor (well you do know iTunes kinda sucks when the ID3 tags aren't in order), and I was stuck with a totally messed up folder structure.

Songs on one compilation album were stuck under the artist name, rather than the album artist name, i.e. "We Gonna Make It" is a track by Styles P and Jadakiss, but produced and put on a compilation album by the producer, The Alchemist.

Now as any normal being, I'd want to sort out my iTunes via album artist: The Alchemist. Probably there is an easier way (any hints or tips) to do this, but for some reason I just couldn't. So I used ID3 Editor to change ALL the tracks in his album. I searched my iTunes music folder and found all the tracks, artist by artist, and found out this neat little trick:

If you have lots of files in sub-folders and you wanted to drill down into each folder and pick an item, then do it (see selected red files). If you want to say copy, or delete these files and do not wish to pick on each file individually, then just hit ⌘-a keys, and each file which is visible in the folder will be selected

Neat huh?!
