I would like to be able to associate a song with two albums in iTunes. I have a few compilations and best of and things like that. I also have some of the albums which these tracks were on originally. In order to keep both albums intact, I have the same song on my iPod twice. For example. I have The Smiths, The Queen is Dead and The Best of by The Smiths. 9 Tracks feature on two of these albums so I have 9 duplicates. I’d love some sort of smart feature which could recognise this and eliminate the dupes.

Yes, I know that of course I can do this playlist but that requires quite a lot of effort from me to get organised and would break my album sorting. That’s why I said I want a smart feature to do this. I’m sure there are several ways I could do it but none simply and smartly. It also bugs me that I can’t use the nice “Show Duplicate Songs” feature recently brought into iTunes. It could do with a little tweak, like looking for more than just song name (track length within a few seconds would be good) but I’d still like to be able to use it on my iPod.
