Bug Description

ITunes and the iPod organize alphabetically, ignoring small uninmportant words
like 'the' and 'a'. If I'm looking for 'The Beatles', It would make sense to
look in the 'B''s, rather in the T's. The T's really do begin to accumulate
with a lot of music. Rhythmbox should provide an option for ignoring certain
insignficant words.
