Hi Colin, I just went through this process a few days ago, in fact I had a large number of compilation albums to fix in this way. It is possible to select all of the tracks in an album, bring up the track info dialog and set the "part of a compilation" checkbox. It will apply to all of the selected tracks. I didn't see it at first, but that was because I almost didn't notice that the setting was on a different tab of the dialog. It was quite easy at that point. Just wanted to let you know that it does work.

If the album has a lot of different artists and has split into different albums with just 1 or 2 artists you'll have to go to info [command+i ] and find the [ part of a compilation ] check box and check it, for each track and then press ok at the end of each info page! When you have done each track it will pull them together under 1 album, under various artists! Also my [ personal choice ] some of my albums have an artist on just one of the tracks who is not the main artist, and also gets put in there own album! What I do there is go to info again and edit the artist field and remove the guest artist then scroll down and press ok then that 1 track ends up back in the main album! The one missing thing is you can do multi info changes but unfortunately selecting part of a compilation is not one of them [ shame ] it would make life easier :-] Unless someone else knows something better! please let me know as well!
