Problem with Album Artist (iTunes 7)

Hi!

I have an album where the artist is Fred, and some songs have featured
artists. For example, Fred ft. Cornelis. What I did then, was to set
'Artist' to Fred and 'Album Artist' to either Fred or Fred ft. Cornelis.
This cleans-up the music directory by moving all songs into the Fred
directory. But iTunes 7 displays the songs as two albums! What is the
purpose of 'Album Artist'? I don't want the songs spread out in my
directory in different folders, and I don't want to choose compilation.
The perfect solution would be if Artist determined the folder, and it
was possible to change the Album Artist if desired. Anyone know more?

Thanks!
