2 albums with the same name but by different artists showing up as 1 album when synced to iPod.

I own a 120GB 6th Gen iPod Classic. In my library I have 2 albums named L.u.s.t for Life (first world spelt normally but the forum is censoring it for some reason?) by Iggy Pop and Lana Del Rey respectively. Whenever I sync them to my iPod however, the tracks from the two albums rather annoyingly get mixed together into one album, whenever I look them up under Albums or Cover Flow on the device. Is there any way I can resolve this and split them to their separate albums? Thank you.

Hello,

Try editing Album, Album Artist, or anything that could share its name. You may also try typing a space at the end of one of the album names. It will still have the same name however technically the name will be different.

Wait until you get to your Greatest Hits albums! Personally I go for <Album> - <Album Artist> as the album title when there is more than one album with the same name as it means I can pick the right one from a list of albums. See Grouping tracks into albums for more.
