[iTunes] iTunes - Artists Info Missing

[James Hubbell]

I did what you suggested - thought it would work, too - nothing 
happened, unless I didn't do what you suggested.  The selected songs 
simply sat there, I think because the Artist Field when you select all 
is blank and if I checked it, it would write it to blank.  Back to your 
note, if I do something with preferences, do you think that will help?  
Any idea what's happened to cause this?  Thanks again.  I'll go get 
'Preferential Treatment' in the meantime.  Thanks for the tip.
