[QUOTE="XMaM, post: 1170521, member: 134551"] As ajs said, in MP the album is "composed" according the value settled in the tag [B]Album Artist[/B] (and the [B]Album Tittle[/B]), so all the tracks belonging to the same album must be tagged with the same [B]Album Artists[/B]. Otherwise, MP interprets that you have two different albums with the same title. Other players rely in the [B]Album Title[/B], so in those players, the album is showed as you expect. You can fill the Album Artist tag with any value, but always the same for the same Album. You can use [I]Various Artists[/I] (e.g. an album with not related artists) or the name of the principal artist in an album with one, two or three tracks performed by other artists (like collaborations). Then, in the [B]Artist[/B] tag, you can put the name of the artist who actually performs the song. It's better fill both tags in all tracks ( I have seen many tracks tagged only with the [B]Album Artist[/B] tag with the name of the artist that performs the song or only the [B]Artist[/B] tag with [B]Album Artist[/B] blank). And, of course, the name of the album must be the same...;) And if the same album have two or more disk, you must fill the tag [B]Disk x of y[/B] (e.g. Disk 1 of 2, or Disk 1/2, or whatever that your editor use, in the first disk, Disk 2/2 in the second disk, and so on...). I usually fill this tag even with a single disk, with Disk 1/1. [/QUOTE]
