Why do my Itunes albums show up heaps of times just for one album.?

Question

I have my itunes set in cover flow mode and say i have good Charlotte, good morning revival album. the album cover shows up 6 times in a row and i dunno how to make it back to one. All the info for album artist and album name are identical so i see no reason for them to show up as separate albums.

Answer 1

Swish, if all those songs are coming from really just one album, in the cover flow mode you also have to sort your music by album (not by song, artist, etc). If more than one album cover shows it means the info on every one of those songs is different some.

To make sure you will see just one cover for those songs coming from the same album, select grouping by artist, highlight the songs you know are from same album, right click them and select "Info", iTunes will ask you if you want to do multiple song information, click yes. Now mark the check-boxes that are the same, basically artist, album, genre (select), compilation (select yes) and artwork (paste here the album cover you want to be showed). Click OK. This should do it for you.
