Okay, first of all this is not a thread to express how much you think itunes is crap in the world of media players. I think we have a thread with a purpose more specifically directed towards those opinions.

So, me being the Mac user that I am, I don't have a lot of options for platform-friendly media players that will also burn to disc and sync with my ipod. I can't think of any off the top of my head. I do have Songbird and I like it, but it really makes no sense for me to use it as my dedicated MP if I can't sync my ipod or burn a disc, that and I also use the itunes store a lot to browse music. It's quite resourceful like that, although I never actually buy anything from there.

Anyways, here's the rub. I've been acquiring a great deal of 'various artists' compilations lately, for the most part, I don't want to get rid of any of them, but I havent found a way to organize my library so that these compilations are consolidated into their respective albums like they should be. Instead they are all over the place and each different artist appears as a different album. Who on here knows how to remedy this situation with itunes. I'm trying to clean up my library right now and I have this unruly mess to deal with.
