Missing music!

Ipod: songs not showing up in the “Artist” view. I can find them in a playlist but not by artist. - What’s up with that?
Through the years of attaining music in various ways the one constant in my library is Artist name – that is perfect (ie all snoop doggie dawgs match and are titled Snoop). I usually prefer to listen by artist and for some reason when I listen by artist not all of their songs that I have in my library show up under them. All of the songs can be found in their playlist but I want them to be available by artist. I have tried highlighting and renaming the artists to ensure they match but that doesn’t do anything. Any suggestions?

Response by poster: Wait I think this is it.
Crap - every song needs to have the album info in order to display correctly? I didn't think I was missing that many songs.
Is that correct?

Best answer: Yes, each song must be tagged correctly in order to display the info. There are extensive discussions here on the best way to go about tagging your collection but I would first suggest MP3Tag and Musicbrainz as excellent places to start.
