    Why is iTunes splitting up my cds like that? It was originally one cd but now iTunes has decided to split it up into 4 parts. It did that with a few other of my cds. The only change that took place was that I updated iTunes to the latest version (8.2 I think). It's kinda frustrating when I have my music all organized and then iTunes decides to mess it all up. -_-

    iTunes tends to do annoying things like so

    This is what I do in that situation which I also get quite a bit.

    1) select all the songs/albums that should be in one (to multi select hold [Ctrl] and click

    2) Right click > Get Info

    3) Figure out whats not matching under the Info tab. Artist, Album, Album Artist should be one of those causing it. If one is empty it is likely that.

    4) Fill in the proper name then BANG you got your self all in one

    Thanks for the suggestion X2P. I was trying that and it wasn't working for me. However, I did find something that worked in the Get Info tab. I selected all the songs that were supposed to be on the same cd, and click on Part of a Compilation. For some reason that was selected, but once I checked that it organized all the songs as one cd.
    Thanks for the help,
    Tim
