iphone music playlists and albums

[Frog]

I just started using CopyTrans to copy and paste albums to my iphone. (I am not an itunes guy)
However, my first attempt at a playlist not only placed this playlist and its songs in the correct section, but added the dozens of albums that those songs came from (albeit each with only the one song listed as its contents) to the album section.
Any way to work around this? It makes the album list rather unwieldy as well as inaccurate as they aren't albums.

Or, in Apple's tech brains, is this not really a section of albums, but merely a list of the albums that are represented by all of the individual songs on the device?

I just spoke with my son and was given the news that I didn't want to hear...that this is just the way itunes does it. live with it, sigh

It's the exact reason that I have avoided itunes on my computer for as long as I have had music files. I like to organize my way.
So, at least by using Copy Trans rather than itunes on my computer, I don't have to muck up my full library, just tolerate the way that Apple wants to play with it on my phone.

I feel your pain, just give us a copy and paste option instead of that "create playlist" BS, it's hardly intuitive, and really just a PITA.

Since I had my iPod first, I haven't gotten around to putting the music on my iPhone. But then, I'm not walking around with earbuds in my ears either, so I keep them separate. As far as management, I do use iTunes, and you can arrange any way you want. I have lots of onesies and twosies which display the albums, but it doesn't confuse me, as I know I don't have the whole album. I arrange by artist, not album, and it works best for me. I hated the most recent update, but got used to it after a while.
