Hello equinox1100,



It's definitely odd that iTunes seems to have confused the name of a single album to be the name of a number of different albums in your library. Fortunately you may be able to use the steps outlined below (despite the potentially unrelated article title) to restore order to your library.

  1. Quit iTunes.
  2. Go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
    Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose Go > Home. Open the Music folder, then open the iTunes folder.
    Windows: Navigate to \Users\username\Music\iTunes\.
  3. Drag the iTunes Library.itl file to your Desktop.
  4. In the iTunes folder, open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
  5. Find the file named
    iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you updated iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
  6. Copy this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
  7. Rename the copied file iTunes Library.
  8. Open iTunes.

If this doesn't help iTunes remember the appropriate names of these albums, any additional information you can provide (especially any changes that may have been made right before this happened) can help us get this figured out.


Hope this helps!
