[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1161999, member: 24160"] I am not aware of any such check box in iTunes 9 or 10. Don't really remember 8 any longer. May know what you're doing now. This all depends on your sorting selection while in CoverFlow view. Look at the list - if you have the 'artist' field highlighted - you are going to have a cover per artist per album - in alphabetical order based on the artists' name - there is no way around this. Highlight the 'Album' field and you'll only have one cover per album. You are not going to get a single album cover for an album with multiple artists while you have it sorted by artist. Most of the titles I have with various artists have nothing in the 'Album Artist' field. About the only time I change that field is for an album I've imported by a single artist, but has guest artists on the album. Ex. I imported a Jason Mraz album today from Napster. While in the Album sort, it had one song listed as a separate album. Napster had tagged one song with 'Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillet' in the Album Artist field and the 'Artist' field. I changed the 'Album Artist' to 'Jason Mraz' in order to show only the single cover in Album sort. However, that same album, while in 'Artist' sort is still going to show two covers because there are two different artists. (Try sorting by Name - You'll have a the same cover shown in CoverFlow view as many times as you have songs in an album. I use the Grid view to adjust the tags related to Album Name and Album Artist. Then CoverFlow view sort of takes care of itself.) [/QUOTE]
