Tricks for getting your play list in order.

Question

I was having trouble with getting my play list right, I couldn't get albums which had tracks that featured more artists than just the original artists to show up as one album. When you order on artist you get a cover image for each different artist. When you order album on artist your albums with 'multiple' artist get shoved to the bottom. After a lot of trial and error I finally got it right. And seeing as a lot of people are having this problem I post this in a new topic.
I will post in a problem -> solution overview.
_I can't get albums having 'feat. artist' to show up as one image._
+Select all songs, go to show info and change the album artist to your preferred one.+
_I don't want my compilation albums to show up between my other artists numerous times_
+There are two ways to change this, depending on your preference.+
+- Set the album as compilation and use album on artist to order. This will move the album to the bottom of the list.+
+- Set the album artist to where you want it to show up in the list. For example "Hit list 3" will move it between Faithless and John Legend.+
_I want a specific album to move to the bottom of the list but it has only one artist._
Set the album to compilation and put a space behind the name of the artist of a track. I-Tunes will think the album has different artists and move it to the bottom with the other multiple artists compilations.
I hope this was helpful for at least some of you.
Perhaps this can be a topic where more people post their tips & tricks.

The issues you describe are a function and set up of the web site and not the trackpad. They want you to use the sites directional arrows and screen re-sizer that they provide on the web page. For those sites and sites that are similar the only option is to play their game and use their tools.
