From what I understand if you change the displayed title of a song in a playlist the change is seen throughout all playlists.

Thus, to have diffent named songs in just one playlist you must have two copies of the song in your library. Is this what you want.

Either way you want it done, just let me know and i’ll help you out.

here is what someone else madse for me and it does 100% of what I want

tell application "iTunes"
	set these_tracks to selection of browser window 1
	repeat with this_track in these_tracks
		set track_artist to artist of this_track
		set track_title to name of this_track
		set final_track_title to (track_title & " - " & track_artist) as text
		set name of this_track to final_track_title
		set artist of this_track to "Various Artists"
	end repeat
end tell

i cant really describe what i wanted. i imported billboards top hits of 1984 and every track had the artist in the artist field and i wanted various artist in that field and to combine the artist and track title info onto the song title field.
