I have three different albums called "Discoveries" by three different 
artists.  If I use the same name in the Album field iTunes tries to 
combine them into one so I had to title them "Discoveries CA", 
"Discoveries AP" and "Discoveries OP" for Cannonball Adderley, Art 
Pepper and Oscar Pettiford.  In each case the Artist field contains the 
name.

At the same time I have a number of Mosaic sets I called "The Complete 
Blue Note Recordings."  The artist field indicates who is in each set. 
For some reason, iTunes treats these as separate albums even though the 
Album titles are identical.

Obviously, I would like to get Discoveries to work the same way but I 
can't determine why one works and one doesn't.
