Cleaning up double albums in coverflow
7 October 2007
Its always annoyed me that double albums showed up as two cds in iTunes. The only reason most double cds are two discs is because there is more content than one cd can hold (ie 74 mins), but as mp3 files this limit doesn’t exist. Fortunately iTunes is pretty smart, and a little tag editing can put everything together into one ‘album’, both in list view and in coverflow.
All you need to do is make sure the disc number tags are set (ie disc 1 of 2 and disc 2 of 2) to ensure that the tracks stay in order when combined, then simply give both discs the same name. The result is one long album with disc 1’s tracks followed by disc 2’s, which lets the album play right through.

Ah, the Kleptones. Somehow I’ve never really gotten into 24 Hours, preferring Yoshimi or Hip-Hopera. Still, excellent taste. Rock on ;)
