For example:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/itunes_heaven.png.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/10356-7\/itunes_heaven.png\" alt=\"itunes heaven album\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So I consulted Belldandy (him being the Apple expert). He said this was a known issue with iTunes and the current resolution is to check the <strong>Part of a compilation<\/strong> checkbox. I never really touched that checkbox as I didn&#8217;t really know what it meant and really never had a reason to. I tried his suggestion and it indeed worked, so I went on and merged the remainder of my albums which were somehow mysteriously split.<\/p>\n<p>However, I then hit the above problem. I had 2 albums called Heaven. Even when I enabled &#8220;Part of a compilation&#8221;, they didn&#8217;t merge, so I played around trying to figure out why they were getting splitted and not grouped together.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that iTunes will ONLY group tracks together if the ALBUM + ARTIST is the same. If you enabled &#8220;Part of a compilation&#8221;, it marks the album having various artists and then that allows grouping of an album with different artists. However, in my case above, I have 2 Track #1s on different albums titled Heaven. I couldn&#8217;t mark the other track as part of a compilation as it&#8217;ll group both albums together. So what I ended up doing was setting one album to be Disc 1 of 1 and that seemed to work as the other didn&#8217;t have any disc info.<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention how neat the turntable view is?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/misc\/itunes_turntable.png.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/10359-7\/itunes_turntable.png\" alt=\"itunes turntable\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Though it does take up a lot of unnecessary resources.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Random Crap<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/today.reuters.com\/news\/articlenews.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&#038;storyid=2006-09-21T120800Z_01_N20379527_RTRUKOC_0_US-LIFE-CHEATING.xml&#038;src=rss\">And the grad students most likely to cheat are&#8230;<\/a> (from \/.) &#8211; <em>The study of 5,300 graduate students in the United States and Canada <strong>found that 56 percent of graduate business students admitted to cheating in the past year<\/strong>, with many saying they cheated because they <strong>believed it was an accepted practice in business<\/strong>.
