The artist is in the title of the song and the field “Artist” is something like “Various”.
Before I start to import the CD I change the artist to “X”.

Click somewhere in the screen (make the artist field loose its focus) and the next song appears.

This mechanism (dynamic list) is of course not limited to artist, it work with all type of lists.
