I would check your album artist tag.

See if this helps

Ok, so I read the linked thread and played around with the customized views, the closest I was able to get to the way I want it set up was to set it to artist then add album right under it. Unfortunately I now have the issue listed in the link. Sure, I now have them set up under the right artists, but now its listing some songs as the same album but under a split. Is this as good as it's gonna get or do I have another option? >:(

JimH:
Please download MC15 and install it.  MC14 can't be purchased any longer.

Add Album Artist column to the pane and check

If you have multiple entries in the album artist field for an album you will end up with multiple albums.

Example:

Tracks 1-5:
Album Artist = Eazy E
Album : Eazy-Duz-It

Tracks 6-10:
Album Artist = Eazy-E
Album : Eazy-Duz-It

MC will think you have two albums one by Eazy E and another by Eazy-E. To fix this you will need to correct the album artist field. I suggest you use the Action Window > Tag window on the bottom left of MC.




Once the tag window is open click on the top left icon of the window and pick the setting that will work best. Select the files you want to edit on the main window and edit.



Always remember if nothing is selected in the main window it is considered as selecting all.

DJ-TIM/TOM:
The issue isn't with the tags, it's where they appear and are sorted in the full artist view window. Retagging does not place them correctly. If it were that easy I would have fixed it instead of asking for help.
