Two Albums Same Name

Post by Kevinino »

I've got On the Beach By both Neil Young and Chris Read. When playing it via Coverflow there is are two albums which both contain the tracks off both albums.

Also unless I play the a song via coverflow I don't get the album art of the song playing.

FYI Ipod Classic 160G, firmware 1.1.1

Ignore the same names problem.

from Wikipedia
Despite these updates, there are still issues with the iPod classic. An update still has not fixed an issue with Compilations and Cover Flow, which bundles those albums such as DJ mixes and "Best Of ___" albums. An option in iTunes allows you to fix this, but it does not take affect on the iPod classic - leaving albums with the same name (such as Best Of, etc.) on the same album in Cover Flow and Album lists. Another bug that has not yet been fixed is when the volume is at 0, music can still be heard.

And STILL has not been fixed. I had to create separate titles for Greatest Hits by The Monkees and Fleetwood Mac. The 2009 iPod Classic was combining them into one album.

I still have this problem with a 160g classic. Have you found a way around this other than renaming the Album?
