WMA compilation on USB Thumb drive showing up as multiple albums

This may be a known issue or may been discussed earlier. If so please kindly redirect me to the threads

I have all my CDs ripped via Windows Media player 12 into WMA format. They all show up in their respective album in Windows Media Player. However the compilations (for example, movie soundtracks) show up as multiple albums in I Drive on my F10.

Is there any way to correct this?

Many thanks.

I don't know how it works in windows media player, but in iTunes you can assign the tunes to a compilation. What's also very important in iTunes, when placing a compilation on your iPod, is a matching album title and album artist.

Thanks and I noticed that as well. However, WMP doesn't do it that way (never had to anyway). Never have to mark WMAs as part of a compilation for WMP to recognise they are in the same album.

Probably with itunes is that everything is converted to AAC/MP3 and I would like them to stay in WMAs.......
