Keep 'Unknown Album' tracks together in iTunes 7

The new Album and Cover Art views in iTunes are great ways to view your music library ... unless you have many tracks that have no album information. These tracks end up being displayed as separate albums, making scrolling through either view a pain.

To get around this, you can simply fill in the album info. You can use Unknown Album (my personal choice), a single space, or anything else. I organized my library by album in normal view, selected all tracks not having any album, and changed the album tag to " " (single space, no quote marks). This has two benefits -- first, all tracks that had no album info are now grouped together the way they should be, and second, iTunes simply shows the just artist name instead of Artist - Unknown Album in either view.

[robg adds: This is an alternative to the method suggested in this hint.]
