nine revival recording question...#1

Posted: 11/26/07 at 7:56pm

I downloaded the Nine revival recording onto my iTunes which automatically fills in the song/artist etc because it is encoded on the cd, you all know this...anyway under artist, sometimes it will say the character names like guido and claudia, and sometimes it will say the actors, like chita rivera and jane krakowski, it differs with the song
anybody know why?

Because it's all screwed up. There's no way around it.

"Y'know, I think Bertolt Brecht was rolling in his grave."

I always rename my iTunes songs as either Original Broadway Cast (or Off-Broadway), Original London Cast, or Original Motion Picture Soundtrack as ARTIST. Then I put the name of the show/movie as the TITLE.

I sort my music by ARTIST, so they are all alphabetized within Broadway, London, etc.

Just my $.02.

it's just the way it was programmed into the main database where all those downloading devices get their info from.
no rhyme or reason to it.

....but the world goes 'round

"...no rhyme or reason to it."

Exactly. Can be really frustrating...
