GMTA...I just did that about four minutes before this email came in. heh I'm wondering if this is simply a preference in coding by the itunes guys...figuring that the same album name might crop up enough as to not let it be an album unless expressly noted if there are different artists. I'm thinking though that there are more albums with multiple artists then albums with the same names and years.
