Various artist albums - album art duplication problem

Hi

When i go to media library>audio and search for a cd containing songs made by various artists, then Winamp shows a long list with all the artists on the album in the album art window. I think that is unnessecary that's what i have the artist window for. I would like it to show only one image of the album cover, and then when i press it, it comes up with all the songs contained on that cd. Just like it does when you search for an album where all the songs are made by the same artist.

Here is what the various artist album looks like:



And here is what a regular album looks like

For compilation albums, select all tracks on the album(s),
right-click one of the tracks,
select "Edit selected item(s)"
set the "Album Artist" field to e.g. "Various Artists"

Basically, all tracks must have the same Album Artist value,
as that is what determines the album art
(Album Artist & album art go hand in hand).

The individual "Artist" fields for each separate track on the album should stay as the Track Artist.
