Christina, the compilation check box is there so iTunes can properly sort the album according to the name of the compilation, as opposed to the names of the artists on that compilation.
For example, a "Hits of the 80s" compilation may contain 17 separate artists, but you don't want each of these artists to have one entry when you navigate by artists. The compilation check box would present the album as Various Artists: The Hits of the 80s and then present the compilation in its original form, grouping multiple artists under one album. Hope this answers your question. Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
