Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have two albums with the same name, Killing Joke. Both are by Killing Joke, but because the album has the same name and artist, iTunes compiles them together to make one album instead of two. Any way to fix this? It's annoying if I want to listen to just one of the albums without hearing the other.
Whilst it is common to for example have multiple 'Greatest Hits' albums these would typically be from different artists. This is a more unusual situation.
I can think of two relatively easy workarounds.
In both cases you need to do this on all the tracks of that album but obviously not on the tracks of the second one.
Either should result in iTunes storing it in a different folder and hence keeping them separate.

Other options are to add the year of release of release or the record label into the album title. E.g.
Killing Joke (1980)
Killing Joke (2003)
or
Killing Joke (E.G. Records)
Killing Joke (Zuma Recordings)
