So here I am trying to get pumped up with some pre-game music before the release of High School Musical 2 tonight. I want to blast some of my kids favorite High School Musical tunes from iTunes, not my iPod. Which leads me to…
My biggest complaint about iTunes is that it splits album tracks that it considers to be compilations.
I start flipping through my cool iTunes cover art looking for Troy and the kids and, as an example, the High School Musical soundtrack is split into 6 separate entries. I start to play one, my kids get into it and then the next song switches over to some crap my husband has in here because iTunes is done with that part of the compilation. This is annoying and I remember reading a way to fix it once but really, why should I have to fix it?
If you buy an album from iTunes, why can’t iTunes keep it together? The iPod doesn’t split the tracks into compilations so why in the world would this be a default feature that I have to search for a fix to un-default?

just set it so it doesn’t shuffle… easy as that just a little button down on the corner. And i believe iTunes will if you set it to, just right click and click get info, you can change it so it will be a compilation in iTunes

@Droo, while your tips might work, I think trophywife’s point is that you shouldn’t have to do any of this stuff in iTunes. iPod’s work intuitively - an album is an album. iTunes at least in the default setup, is very counterintuitive because it splits tracks and what is the point of that?
