iTunes changing purchased album metadata

I purchased an album today and as usual I like to amend the genre to what suits my library but I noticed that when I play the track iTunes is setting it back to what it was from the store - never seen this before.


Anyone know why or if there is a work around?

Mac OS X (10.7.4), 8GB Ram, 750GB Hybrid HD

Very annoying!


Just downloaded a single album that actually has 3 operas on it. Have changed all the metadata in iTunes so it appears as 3 separate albums by the one artist - synced with my iPhone but on the iPhone it still appears as one album with tracks from the 3 operas all mixed up - so I can't play them in order!


Anyone any ideas on how to stop iPhone from taking on iTunes Store metadata and using my own metadata?


Thanks in advance...
