I don't understand how the grouping feature works. Could you explain that further? Thanks.
Whatever you put in a file's Grouping field will show in the Groupings column if you enable the Groupings column in List or (for music) Song view. Try it.
I'm not saying it's better, but different, and it might be better. Groupings is a catch-all way of organizing broad categories when Genre isn't enough or is really meant to be something else.
[In iTunes 11 they removed the separate Music Videos category from appearing in the left-hand side LIBRARY section. Now those files tagged as Music Videos appear within the Music category. I'd forgotten about that change.]
- select Music
- select Songs (this nets you a list view)
- View > Show Column Browser (if not already showing)
- View > Column Browser > Groupings
***********************
Normally, in iTunes 11 after selecting Music you'd click the Videos tab to see things tagged as Music Videos but you then lose the ability to sort by Grouping, which only displays when browsing via "Songs".
In a nutshell, what you see and how you access it depends on how you make iTunes's window look.
