Nero CD Compilation Window Question

In Nero, is there a way to get the Artist name to appear in the compilation window? By default, it only gives you Track, Title, Duration, Pause, and Filters. The reason I'm asking is because when you print out the compliation track listing, it only shows the title and not the artist, which is very inconvenient if you have a lot of various artists compilations. I realize that you could relabel everything so that the artist and title are in the same box (the title box) and then it would display both, but that's a lot of retyping!

I'm using Nero 5.5.10.56 - are there any workarounds for this?

Dunno' about Nero 5, but in later versions you can get to the ID3 Tag editor and put in the title, artist, album, track no, genre, year, etc., and then create the file name from various combinations of the tag attributes.

Other utilities like MP3Tag can do that also.

Nero 5 does that also. I was just wondering if there was a way to get the Artist name to show up in the window, since it is part of the file name. It seems that the only way to do that right now is to make the artist part of the title. For example, if I have a file named The Beatles - I Am The Walrus, and I drag it into the compilation window, it only shows "I Am The Walrus." If I change the file name to The Beatles - The Beatles - I Am The Walrus, then the window will show: The Beatles - I Am The Walrus.
