iTunes question

[glitchu1]

Hi, so I have ordered my 16gb iPod touch and in preparation im putting all my music into itunes and as you know coverflow if on all the new ipods which looks cool so i wanted to get album art on all my albums. So can some one help me? my problem is, when i import an album like a movie OST, it makes about 3 or 4 separate covers in coverflow, each with the same cover art...so how do i make them show up under just 1 cover? i tried selecting all the songs and going 'edit info' and selected 'yes' where it asks if the cd is a compilation one.

any help would be great, thanks
Chris

Make sure the Album Artist (not the Artist) is the same for all tracks on the album. Usually for a soundtrack i set album artist to "Soundtrack"

Thanks, I tried that and it kind of worked...well turned 4 albums in cover flow into 3...

What column do you have your music sorted by?

Edit: Actually, it shouldn't matter. See picture. It doesn't matter what column I sort by it only shows up as one picture in coverflow.

This is how to fix it:

Select all the songs in the OST, get info, hit 'Part of Compilation' in bottom left. That'll take care of it.

He said he already did that

I see. Then something else is the problem. Album Artist perhaps? After that, there is a miscellaneous info bit filled in that is mixing everything up. Disc Number perhaps?

Thanks, problems solved! It kept taking off the tick when i selected 'yes' for compilation. I also added group and called it the same and retyped the album name just to be sure. thanks for the help
