"unknown Album" Patch For Itunes 4.6

Well, this is a patch for the guys who let iTunes organize it.

Usually, iTunes sorts the files this way:

iTunes Music\Artist\Album\Track# Name.mp3

if the Album tag is missing, it puts the file in an "Unknown Album" folder under the artist name.

After applying this patch, it will no longer create those "Unknown Album" folders, and put songs with missing Album tags in the Artist folder.

Note: this patch does not re-organize those files. to make iTunes re-organize them, follow these steps:

1) Go to the library in iTunes and make it sorted by Album.

2) Select all the songs with a missing Album tag.

3) Right-click one of the songs and select Properties.

4) Change the Album to something like AAAAAAA so it doesn't conflict with any real album.

5) After you click OK, change the Album name of all those songs back to nothing.

6) Now all the files that were in an Unknown Album folder moved to the Artist folder

btw, about Multi-Plugin 0.6:

There are a lot of problems with skinning the whole background i cant guarantee when/if it will be released...

/me presses Thank You button, which is still invisible

All the trouble you go through for us is appreciated.

Who needs Apple to put an option to "Use Mac OS X appearance" in the Windows version of iTunes when we have localhost?

Whoa !

Never ever dream to see something like this !

Very usefull ! Thanks.

I have about 1000 songs without an album. Really useful.
