Why are all songs not in same album ??

Hi, I have my iTunes songs categorised as "Albums" and then "Title" but with compilation albums I end up with lots of icons each with a single song in each.


How can I amalgamate them all together so there is less on display and so I just need to click on one album cover and all the songs from that album are there and not spread out ?


Many thanks

Hello there, Tony.


When trying to group various tracks into compilations albums, the following Knowledge Base article provides the steps on how to acomplish that:


Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together? - Apple Support


Albums with various artists

Some albums include songs from multiple artists. Because of this iTunes may display them as separate album as shown below:

You can mark these songs as a compilation in iTunes. In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.

To do this in iTunes 7, select all the songs that you want to be included in the compilation and select Get Info from the file menu and select Yes in the Compilation menu as shown below. After clicking OK iTunes will group all the selected songs together.
