What Does Compilation Means?

Hi,

While I'm ripping my songs from my CD collections, there's an "Compilation CD" check box.

So what does it mean?

Thanks.

But after checking it, all the "mess" goes into the "compilation folder"? how and when will it show in my ipod touch then?

if you change to "smooth featuring RT" - Santana

although the artist only shows Santana, but won't the "album name" change to "smooth featuring RT"?

thanks

In this example the idea is to change the track Name to *Smooth \[Feat. Rob Thomas]* and the Artist to Santana so that you only get one album called Supernatural and you avoid having the artists menu filled up with different variations of Santana & Guest.
