[DM-MUG] This is WAY cool....Complete my Album in iTunes

[Jon Thompson]

I have two purchased copies of Paul Oakenfold's "Starry Eyed  
Surprise."  The first I bought because I liked the song.  The second I  
bought because I went back and realized I like the album, and this was  
before this feature existed (it's been around for a while now.)  Other  
possibilities is if you buy a compilation, then want to expand your  
selection of a particular album.

Just because most albums have one or two good songs and a bunch of  
filler does not mean that all of the are like that.
