Albums with same name but different artists grouped together

However I find myself thinking why users have to come up with workarounds. Apple could easily have sorted this years ago.

I'm not sure it's as simple as you might think.

I know of the Greatest Hits problem and I have more than one instance of two albums bearing the same name and theyre ok. They are separate on iTunes in my laptop so only merge when syncing to the iPod.

Without looking more closely at your iTunes Library, it's difficult to say for certain but it may be the specific view that you're using.

Jim's suggestion is the easiest one. I add the artist name to Greatest Hits albums as I import them . For other albums, if I don't catch it when I import the album, I simply edit it afterwards. iTunes makes that easy to do and by using Sync, those edits are copied over to the ipod easily.

Here's a screenshot of the albums list in my library:

Hi,

I suggest that you change the album title by including artists name.
