Q: how to get 2 disc albums to be in one disc location

Sometimes when importing a two disc CD (such as Hamilton) I tunes creates two distinct albums instead of one.  How do you combine them into one continous playing album.  Otherwise, I have to create a playlist.

    • Select all tracks of the album's first disc, then right-click > Get Info and set the disc number fields to 1 of 2
    • Select all tracks of the album's second disc, then right-click > Get Info and set the disc number fields to 2 of 2
    • Select all tracks of the album (i.e., both discs) and check that:
      • all tracks have the same value for Album and Artist, or
      • all tracks have the same value for Album and Album Artist (use this if some tracks have variations in their Artist value) or
      • all tracks have the same value for Album and the Album is a compilation ... flag is checked (use this for "various artist" compilations if you have an iDevice that doesn't support the Album Artist tag - the iPod Classic is in this category).
