Hi Carol and all, When you have a CD with songs by multiple artists, you can handle it in a couple of different ways. One is to designate it a compilation. Then it is listed with compilations. If there is one main artist, the other option is to say that it's not a compilation, but to set the album artist field to the main artist on the album. Then it is listed with that artist, but you can still have different artists for individual tracks. To make any changes of this sort, select all the tracks and either press Control-I on a PC, Command-I on a Mac to open the Get Info box, or open the context menu (context key or Shift-F10 on a PC, VO-M on a Mac), arrow down to Get Info, and press Enter.
I hope that helps.
