I had that with several albums, too. I selected them, did the “Get Info” thing, then added an Album Artist and it sorted it out. Not quite sure what was happening there though…

Actually I have found something I don’t like about iTunes 7. You can no longer sort by Album, you can only sort by Album Year or Album Artist.

In the olden days you could sort by album and it would keep the tracks in their correct order but now, when I do a sort by album on, for instance, MOS: Chillout Sessions it mixes all the tracks up so that the seamless mixing is ruined.

I could sort by track number but what if I have more than one album selected?

That is annoying.

Hmm, it fell over a few times in the first couple of days, but it seems to have settled down now. Most odd.

Maybe I’m being picky, but the scroll-bars look absolutely rubbish compared to all the others in OS-X. The small-caps titles in the sidebar grate, too. They’ve got rid of the icon for the Equaliser *and* the hot-key aswell. BOO HISS! Mind you, I can be a bit of a UI facist at times.

I can recommend Uno for Mac OS though: It unifies all of the different GUI toolkits into one common theme. Lovely.

But you havn’t been asking it to make toast, drive the car or plan an elborate plot to steal the crown jewels and make a get away in a stolen nuclear sub though have you?

Some people demand sooo much from their music software.

Hmm, I think it’s an improvement myself - more logical grouping down the left hand side. As for its stability, I can’t say it’s failed to do anything I’ve asked of it as yet.
