Does anybody know how you can effectively uncheck all of the "part of a compilation" boxes en masse? I have 6000 songs in my library and I don't feel like going through them all. I've done it before to sort out other massive organisational problems but I don't want to do it again.

All of my songs have transfered across to my iPod, but I would prefer they would appear in the Artists view as well. If I wish to listen to a compilation album in it's entirety, I will go to it in Albums view. Thanks.

One way to do it is to go to the Library screen, select all, and put everything as part of a compilation by selecting "Yes" from the drop-down menu in the "Options" tab. Wait for all of the tracks to get changed to a compilation (this will probably take a little while) and then change the selection to "No".

You don't need to select "Yes" first, just select all tracks and set the flag to "No". Any files where the flag was already "No" will remain unchanged.
