Group Compilations & View &gt; Column Browser &gt; Use Album Artists (iTunes 9 & later) and on an iPod Classic turn off Settings &gt; Main Menu &gt; Compilations & Settings &gt; Music Menu &gt; Compilations . N.B. If you have the Use Album Artists feature enabled and edit the Album Artist or Sort Album Artist values you may find that the artist's position in the list isn't changed until you close & reopen iTunes. In addition if you change the Compilation status of tracks they may be temporarily treated as tracks from an Unknown Album , again things should resolve themselves if you close and reopen iTunes. One album, too many covers For true compilations, where each track is by a different artist, the answer is to set Part of a compilation to Yes and enable the iTunes preference to Group compilations when browsing . N.b. since iTunes 9.1 this preference is controlled using View &gt; Column Browser &gt; Group Compilations . If the album is not a compilation however, any tracks which list guest artists may be treated as separate items. Filling in the Album Artist field is enough to link things in iTunes. Sadly, however, most iPod models ignore the Album Artist field when grouping albums so this is only a partial solution. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTunes often handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue
