Please help, iTunes is driving me mad.

I purchased an album tonight which is a compilation, and as you do, I want to get it loaded into iTunes and onto my iPod.

So, I load the CD in the PC, iTunes opens, and I click 'Import CD' - CD is now imported, but when I go into the library I get each track showing as a separate album. The album name is the same on all of them, but still they are split.

How do I get them all to show within one album?

Did you tick the compilation box?

Highlight all the tracks > right click > get info> Options > "part of a compilation" Yes >OK

As I looked at your reply, and thought "what compilation box?" - I am going to have to be honest and say no

Does that have to be done before the CD is imported, or can it be done retrospectively? And where do I find the compilation box?

Sorry - I did tell you I was thick!

The compilation tick box is on the info for each track, but you can do the whole album at once as I described above.

You are a diamond! I now have the album back as one - thank you!
