[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1501469"] That's because you're doing it wrong. You've found a workaround, but not the right fix. What you actually want to do is to select all the tracks from the album, press command-i (get info in iTunes under the File menu) and put the exact same artist in the "Artist" field. The problem you describe usually comes about because the artist name or album name is slightly different (The Talking Heads vs. Talking Heads, for example). Editing the info tags in a batch eliminates this issue. You'll notice there is also a tag for "Album Artist." This should be filled in too, particularly if you have, let's say, an album by The Pet Shop Boys, but one track is credited to The Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield for example. Having PSB in the Album Artist field will keep those tracks together even though the one with Dusty Springfield has a "different" artist. [/QUOTE]
