Artists showing several times but in the same media folder?

Hi people,

A bit of an irritating problem and that, despite several attempts to trouble shoot, I have been unable to solve.

As iTunes traditionally organizes the library along the lines of the "Album Artist", I always used this tab to keep my library in order regarding artists.

What I've noticed in recent weeks, it is that when I select artists in the sidebar, I could see:

AC/DC: 5 albums, 70 song etc.

Then below in the column of artists AC/DC, 3 albums 40 songs etc.

I thought that this could be easily fixed by say changing the artist album to 'AAA' tags and which would group them together under a single artist label.

Unfortunately no, what I get instead is the same as above only in AAA, that is to say

AAA: 5 albums, 70 song etc.

Then below in the column of artists another AAA, 3 albums 40 songs etc.

Even when I try and change all new back to AC/DC, its still in the form view. As far as I can see, all the other values in the "Get Info" tab are the same.

Basically when you go and look at the drive where the folder media, AC/DC of all albums are in one folder. They display properly in the media folder but showing not correctly in the application?

Any ideas how I can fix it more irritating?

On my mac, media folder is stored on external hard drive because of the size, the rest of the files in the folder music as a default value.

Appreciate your help people

Simon.
