How does one turn off compilations in itunes 12.7? It messes up the hard disk storage and playback and lots of other things.

Size of playlist to burn Windows 10, iTunes version 12.11.3.17 In the past, when I create a playlist, it kept a running total size in MB and the number of songs at the bottom of the playlist, because you cannot burn a playlist larger than about 690MB to a common CD. I'm either blind, or I cannot see anywhere to turn this option on, so consequently, I have no exact idea how large the playlist is in MB before I try to burn it. Yes, each song lists the size of it in MB, but I can't keep a calculator out and add up 125 songs by hand. Did this feature disappear with the latest version of iTunes? Am I missing a setting somewhere?

** Beware** iTunes update 12.10.2 wiped out complete library! Just updated the morning of 11/2/19 and the update wiped out my entire library. How do I reload it from any back ups made? This is obviously a pretty bad update be cautious to wait for the next one if you don't want to spend time rebuilding your library.

You cannot completely disable compilations within iTunes. See Grouping tracks into albums for some general advice. In some cases you should set Part of a compilation to off and provide a common Album Artist, but even then iTunes may continue to recognize an album with multiple artists as a compilation. File location on the hard drive isn't that important when you access tracks through the iTunes application.
