Another thing about iTunes that is appearing to me as an oddity: I have CDs of a particular pop artist (Laura Pausini, say) who will perform about 80% of the songs on the CD alone, but will have a couple of songs sung with other artists (who are listed together with her in the "performing artists" field). When I place a CD in my computer, and iTunes begins to rip it, it creates an 'album' in album view for every combination of artists, such that one album is created for Laura Pausini's CD, "Io Canto," where she sings about 13 of the album's 16 total tracks, and another, one-track album is created for a single duet between an Laura Pausini and Johnny Halladay, and yet another album is when Laura Pausini sings with the Italian artist, Tiziano Ferro. Thus Laura Pausini's solitary CD, 'Io canto,' is the source of four CD's in album view, as well as in the file structure one see's under the iTunes folder. You can imagine what happens in Eros Ramazzotti's "e2" 2-CD album, where about 20 of the 31 total tracks are Eros himself singing with other artists. What a nightmare!
Again, this does not happen in Windows Media Player, and I've done my due diligence by hunting through the on-line help for iTunes, but to no avail thus far.
I'd be most grateful for some help, here.
