I have just bought an album from the iTunes store which is a compilation with 61 tracks. They have come down fine and all play, but even though they all have the same album name (checked, re-edited etc) I am seeing 61 albums all with the same name and 1 track each. Can anyone tell me how to sort this please as it really is doing my head in.

Cheers

Its usually because the Album Artist is the artists name.
I have the same problem, and highlight all the tracks and change the Album Artist field to "Various" or something like that.
Also, make sure the option for "Is part of a compilation" is ticked

Hope that helps!
 
Sorry to jump in the thread here, but I think I have a similar problem.
I have my music all stored in different folders (on one drive) that I created myself when I ripped the MP3's. ie. Band Name>Album. or for say a compilation: Compilation (eg rennaisance)>Compilation no (rennaisance 2)>Disc name rennaisance 2 disc1.

Can I get these to show up in itunes like they do in windows explorer?

Sorry if it sounds a bit mishap. :)
 
Sorry chaps but I have been through all the obvious stuff. I have loads of albums and compilations and they are all sorted, indexed and consolidated as they should be with the exception of this album.

I have double and triple checked the search and sort, I have edited, replaced and renamed the Album Name on all tracks. I have ticked the boxes to ensure it sorts as it should but presently I see 61 tracks, all with the same album name but all appearing as individual albums. Most annoying.

OM NOM NOM :D
glad I could help, i get this all the time with compilations, its a pain in the proverbial buttock
 
Thanks for the tip. Haven't had that problem yet but so nearly could have. Having made four failed attempts on my CD collection (400+ CDs) I added album artist tags to the most recent attempt. Didn't know I'd be using iTunes when I started, but then I got an iPhone. :)

Now if I could just sort out the album art.
