Coverflow cover art
In coverflow mode on some of my albums imported from cd - each song shows as a separate album with it's own duplicate cover, so one album looks like 13 or however many tracks on the album. I've tried selecting all of them, and goingi and pasting album art there but no luck.

Any ideas

if the artist tag is different in an albumit will show up multiple times

highlight the album, and make sure you select 'yes' in the compilation tab

Or set the "Album Artist" field to the same for each track (e.g. Various Artists)

I just get rid of Album Artist because it is annoying.

And, if part of a compilation, tick the compilation box.

It depends on how you're sorting it in iTunes. e.g. If you're sorting by date added or by song name, they'll show up with separate cover art, if you sort by Album, (Unless you have one of the problems listed by the guys above) it should sit there with a single cover as you flick through the songs.
