How to get iTunes 11 to Group by Album Name

Solution 1:

In general, you're already using the correct way to sort by album name. Click "Music" then, "Albums"

The problem you're seeing with compilations being shown multiple times for each artist has always been a problem even in older versions of iTunes. In order to fix this, you'll need to modify the Album Artist field in the track info.

To do this, press ⌘+i (Ctrl+i on Windows), then put “VA” into the Album Artist field ^{(Note: using “Various Artists” or any matching string should also work)}. You can select multiple tracks with ⌘+Click (Ctrl+Click on Windows) to edit many tracks on the same compilation at a time.

Solution 2:

Have you checked the Compilation tag for these albums? Find all the tracks for an album, select them, and press Command-I. Click on the Options tab, then, next to Part of a Complication, select Yes. Click OK.
