iPod Classic - Hiding Compilation Artists

OK, so I just upgraded my trusty old 60GB black iPod with an 80GB Classic.. on my older iPod I could go to 'Settings' > 'Compilations' and select on/off - with it on, when I went through my listing of artists it didn't show any of the obscure one off artists I had (as long as they were correctly identified in iTunes) - for some reason thats no longer an option on the Classic..

Or, if it is its not in the same spot and I haven't found it... Any one have any success? I have about 8GB of compilations set up and it makes my Artist list annoyingly long if every single one is listed there..

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This has been fixed in update 1.02!
Enable the compilations option in the music menu and artists with only compilations will disappear from the Artists list! Hurrah!

I don't use coverflow anyway, its a useless gimmick imo. How long does it take to get through all you albums! It's a waste of time. It works great in artists and compilations
