Is there someway to keep iTunes from splitting my albums apart?

Question

ITunes keeps breaking up my albums in the music window. For example, I have "The Blessed Hellride" album by "Blach Label Society". One song< "Stillborn" features Ozzy Osbourne. In the finder that song is in "The Blessed Hellride" folder. But in the iTunes window that song is separated from the rest of "The Blessed Hellride" album. and to make matters worse it sticks another "Black Label Society" album between the rest of "The Blessed Hellride" album and that song. Is there some waqy that I can get iTunes to understand that I want my music all put together by album in the music window? It's done it with other albums that had several guest stars and split them up all over the place but I don't have that music with me ( It's on my G5 but I don"t have access to that right now.).
Does anybody have any ideas?

Answer 1

I dont recomend overwriting the actual "Artist" information on various artist type albums.
What you want to do instead is select all the songs of the album and then open info (command+i) and then go to the "Sorting" tab and write in the Artist info you want iTunes to sort your music as.
This is the best way, it overides what the artist is actually listed as and places the album then where it would go based on the custom sort by name.
If you have a bunch of albums by The Beatles for instance and a few solo albums by Paul or John, and would prefer all the "Beatles" together, you can simply change the "sort by" info for Paul and John's albums to "The Beatles"  which will not overwrite the ablum artist name (they Remain Paul McCartney, John Lennon etc), but they will be alphabetically placedin with the Beatles as if the artist names were replaced to "The Beatles"
Another very useful example would be if you have a number of classical pieces of music on say, Beethoven.
Well, most Classical albums list the conductor or orcistra playing the music rather the composer. By changing all the sort by artist info to "Beethoven" it maintains all the original artist info, and places together all of the "Beethoven" albums for you.
I cant express enough how important and helpful this option is in iTunes - and how few people are aware of it!
