Therefore if you've customised views in Standard View the way you want them, you need to make the same changes to Web Services in Tools/Options/Media Network/Advanced/Customise Views for Gizmo. If you have indeed customised Standard View views then you can copy them into Gizmo using that facility (and delete the default ones), or if you've simply edited the display fields in Standard View then you'll hgave to set up your Gizmo views manually.  Basically, probably all you need to do is find the relevant category in Gizmo Views and change the Album Artist to Artist as desired.
