Compilation albums

If your music collection contains compilations and soundtracks, you may want to group these songs together in your music
library instead of viewing them by individual artist. This means that any artists that appear solely on compilations will not
appear in your Artists list.
Group using iTunes compilations
iTunes normally organizes your iTunes Music folder as [Artist]/[Album]/[Track name]. iTunes has a feature that allows you to
group your compilations albums together. This will organize your compilations and soundtrack albums as [Compilations]/
[Album]/[Track name].
Within iTunes:
Mark individual tracks as being part of compilations by highlighting the track and then selecting File -> Get Info.
1.
Check the Part of a compilation checkbox.
2.
From iTunes Preferences, check the Group Compilations When Browsing checkbox. This will group the tracks you've

albums (the Album Artist is the person, group or composer the album would be filed under in a store.)
You can organize your Sonos music library to use the AlbumArtist compilation view.
