Default Something to watch for with the "music box"

Prior to today, I had ripped Elton John's "Greatest Hits" CD to the music box.

Today, with no thought about it, I ripped Bruce Springsteen's "Greatest Hits" CD to the music box.

Result: I had ONE "Greatest Hits" Album, with alternating Springsteen and John songs; track 1 from Bruce, track 1 from Elton and so on. Confusing for a few minues...

If I went to the Artist List, they each had a "Greatest Hits" Album, but it was the same album, which was a 29-track combination of the two albums.

The only thing I could think of was to delete all the Elton John tracks (there were fewer of those) and then rename what was left in the album to "Springsteen Greatest Hits" and then re-rip Elton John's Greatest Hits and rename that to "Elton John Greatest Hits".

It should be able to distinguish the two I think, but fortunately, the controls let you rename album titles.

Just FYI, something to watch out for. Rename "Greatest Hits" albums as soon as they are ripped.
