Problems album winamp

Firstly you need to ensure that each of the tracks on your compilation albums are tagged with an Album Artist of "Various Artists".
Secondly, within Winamp on your PC, with your device connected, go into Options -> Preferences -> Media Library -> Portables, click on your device and go to the Advanced tab. Make that the Filename Format organises the folders on your device by Album Artist rather than artist, for example my string reads
K:\Music\<Albumartist>\<Album>\<Title>
where K: is the drive that represents my device on my PC. By having one album artist folder for "Various Artists" the system no longer splits the compilation into one album for each artist on the phone.
