Currently most of my "Box Sets" are added as multi-discs instead of an actual box set. So I will have one Movie called Die Hard Trilogy and that movie with contain Discs like Disc1 Die Hard, Disc2, die hard 2 and so on....
Since ive been using backdrops and I love the new look of MM3, I want every movie to have a Box Cover....
So Correct me if I am wrong...I have to add Die Hard 1-4 as individual titles, the add an offline title for Die Hard Trilogy and then associate Die Hard 1-4 to the box set correct?
Problem is, you cant add 1 movie to 2 box sets.... Example....
I have a title Home Alone... I want that to be part of the Home Alone Box Set, and I want it to be part of my Christmas Box Set
Right now, doing it by disc, I can add a disk to Home alone and a disk to Christmas, and point them to the same movie file.
any help?

Die Hard Trilogy is already on the web service. Your description of the process is close but not entirely correct.
You find the Die Hard Trilogy box set record on the web service using it's barcode, add/download it to your collection, then search (by title) for the individual movies. You will likely find "zero barcode" (as in 0000000000000) versions of the titles. Those are the ones you want. They were specifically created for this purpose. You can certainly add other versions of the titles (the ones with their own retail barcode) but you must be careful NOT to contribute changes as you actually don't have that release/barcode in your possession. Once you have them all downloaded, then use the CM tools to associate them together.
In the less likely event that you have a new or different box set (!not your personal compilations!) that doesn't exist on the web service, I would encourage you to carefully read the contribution guidelines before trying to add it. If you have more questions post them up and our many resident box set experts will help you.
I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

That Helps a little. Im not trying to contribute anything in this case. I just want to have a movie residing in 2 different Box sets in my collection (For Organization)

So in order to organize how I am proposing, I would have to add the title twice...and associate one title with one box sex and one title with another?

Tell you the truth, I'm not sure. I don't know if you can add a title to two separate box set records. Give it a try? I do know the web service won't allow you to import the same record twice. It will just say "title already exists in your collection".
Have you considered using Categories to group your titles? You can create a Category and assign multiple titles to it as well as multiple categories to a title. Then in MM within Media Center, just select from the navigation menu at the top (up button to reveal) Section | Movie Categories.
