Itunes users...

I've tried that and for some reason it doesn't work. Each individual artist on the compilation still appears as a separate album of the same title, so instead of having, for example, one Trojan Dancehall 69': 40 Skinhead Reggae Rarities album cover in Coverflow, I have 37.

Are you talking about in the file structure on your hard drive or are you talking about in iTunes itself?

Itunes itself. I don't really care about file folders. Ironically, I organize as I accumulate with them.

Did you try the second thing I mentioned, the "Group compilations when browsing" option under Preferences?

There is no option for that that I can see under my itunes preferences.

When you select "Yes" from Part of a Compilation dropdown are you also making sure that the checkbox to the left is checked before clicking "OK"?
