Hi there,

I'm having problems with my iPhone / iTunes. They just don't seem to like compilation albums - it's separating compilation albums by artist. This is making it impossible to listen to a compilation album in order, which is particularly annoying when I want to be listening to the rocky soundtrack in the gym!!! This is only something which has happened recently because I'm sure I never used to have this problem.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks :)
 
Yeah, iTunes has an annoying habit of doing that.

IIRC you simply open iTunes, highlight all of the album tracks, right click, select 'get info' and change the 'album artist' to the title of the album. That way iTunes sees it as a single album rather than lots of individual tracks.
 
I think the other way is to highlight all the tracks in the album and right click for 'get info'. In one of the tabs there is a drop down which allows you to select 'part of a compilation' this will group the tracks together.

Apologies for the sketchy instructions but I'm at my work PC
