iPod: Compilations menu option in Music menu

If you have an iPod with a color display (including iPod photo and iPod nano) you can add a Compilations option to the Music menu on iPod to display songs that are part of a compilation. To enable this menu option:

  1. Select Settings in the main menu.
  2. In the Settings menu, select Compilations to turn the setting on or off

The Music menu now displays a menu option called Compilations. When you select it, iPod will display all songs that are part of a compilation. If you see songs listed in the Compilations menu that shouldn't be there, or if certain songs are missing from the menu, follow these steps:

  1. In iTunes, select a song.
  2. From the File menu, choose Get Info.
  3. Click the Info tab.
  4. To make the song display as part of a compilation, select the "Part of a compilation" checkbox. To change it so that it's not part of a compilation, deselect this checkbox.

If you have an iPod photo, your iPod may need to be updated with the latest iPod Updater to see the Compilations option.
