Importing sets "part of compilation" ...

I've just instaled iTunes 9.01 and have been importing about 5 CDs worth of music. The problem is that iTunes seems to be setting the "part of a compilation" flag every time even though none of the CDs I've been importing are compilations CDs.

I know that sometimes the gracenote database has the CD tracks incorrectly marked as compilations when they aren't on a compilation CD. But I've imported 5 CDs in a row and they've all been marked as compilations, so I am starting to wonder if iTunes is the one setting the compilation flag.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

The net effect is that after I import a CD, it doesn't show up in the genre/artist/album browser. Instead it shows up in the compilation list. So I end up having to go into the imported tracks and uncheck the compilation flag

This is made even worse by the fact that I can't select all of the tracks at once and open up the info because when you select multiple tracks and open up the info there is not "part of a compilation" flag that I can see. So I end up having to open up the tracks one at a time and unchecking he flags one at a time, which is a pain in the butt.

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated!
