Importing mp3´s

Help! I´ve imported an mp3 free album download from my e-mail using the link provided, but in cover flow there is an album cover for each song. I´ve tried to "group" the album using "Get info" but this doesn´t work. I can´t use the "Part of a compilation" button as it is not available when I highlight all the songs. How can I make 1 album cover for all the songs?

Get Info.
It is on the Options tab.

Make sure the files are not marked *Read Only* and make sure you have full Read/Write permissions to the \Music\iTunes\ folder and everything in it.

Go to \Music\ folder.
Find the iTunes folder, right click - Properties.
Uncheck the Read Only box then click OK.

For permissions, see this -> Change the permissions and take ownership of your files and folders
