You need to select the songs you want to change using Shift-click and go to the following dialog box (from right clicking on your selection and choosing "Edit Track Information"):
Then make sure the "Compilation Album Artist" is checked, and put what you want in the input box. Click on the button next to the input box, then click "Save". Your album should all show up under one cover now.
Thanks to information from MichaelMS, I google Banshee database and found out it is using sqlite. So I opened it up with Squirrel Client and to register downloaded podcast to Banshee, you need to update PODCASTENCLOSURES table.
The columns you need to update are:
- LocalPath - this point to where the physical location of where the downloaded podcast
- DownloadStatus - I set it to 3, assuming this meant downloaded..as that is what other downloaded podcast value that I'd seen.

You can do this using Banshee's “smart playlist“ feature:
/home/user/Music/Favorites/The advantage of such a “smart” playlist is that it dynamically adapts, so you can simply drop new files into that folder and they will appear in the playlist.
