Note that iTunes can have qualifications for list entries in its standard lists that are not enforced by this Editor. For example, an acceptable file for the "TV Shows" category in iTunes requires that a file be a video file with entries in the Show, Season, Episode ID, Episode Number, and TV Network fields, and with a genre of "TV Shows" and a "Stik" column entry of "TV Show."
