    Hi,
    Imported Ministry of Sounds Chilled House Session,its a 3CD compilation.However I now have 54 individual coverflow pictures,showing each individual track,as opposed to three coverflows with tracks listed under CD 1,2 and 3.Can this be fixed?

    If you right click on each track in iTunes and select Get Info, you'll notice that something like the Album Artist or Album field is different in each one. Change this so that they're all the same and they should merge together.
    Alternatively, select all the tracks together, right click on the selection and choose Get Info. On the Options tab, change the Part of a Compilation option to Yes and it should group them together.

    On the subjet of cover flow; if there's some cover art missing from when you rip a Cd, is there any way to get it?

    I know this means iTunes doesn't have it at the time, but will it eventually be got?

    Just google image it or try wikipedia.Then save pic to computer,go to itunes,search for album you need cover for,ble clickhighlight album(ctrl A),right click,get info,double click blank artwork square at bottom right and you should get a pop up showing you cover you saved.click on it then OK and cover will be on your album.

    If you are using a mac, there's a handy dashboard widget called albumart.

    You can set it to check google in the settings and then just add the art to the song/playlist as a whole.

    Great little widget.

    The only way I can see is to create a playlist with all the stuff you want and sync this playlist with the iPhone. I hate iTunes and Apple for forcing us to use it.

    Toby2111's method is spot on but if you make sure that when you rip a cd that the album gets named exactly the same as it is in the iTunes store, iTunes should pull down the album art, assuming the album is up there.
