Maintaining file structure after converting

Question

I'm trying to import my music collection into iTunes. My problem is that iTunes makes a directory according to artist, and then places the album inside. This is fine when an entire album has the same artist, but not good when importing sound tracks and various compilations. Is there a way to make iTunes convert and maintain original file stucture?

Adam,
I think I misread your original post the first time around.
It sounds like you want the compilation tracks in the
i Compilations
folder and the directions I posted were for moving them out of the folder. So instead of changing the "Yes" to a "No", you want to do just the opposite: change the "No" to a "Yes".
Anyways, it's won't be a problem because as long as iTunes is keeping the
i iTunes Music
folder organized (Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab), you can switch the compilation status back and forth as often as you like. It doesn't matter what it is when you import the songs, it can be changed.
I'm not sure just what the "major issues" you're having are so post back explaining your present situation a bit more clearly.
