Check to see what the [Album Artist] tag says for mix CDs if you want them to be grouped together you need to use (Multiple Artists)

[MrC]

Are you setting the Use Assorted... checkbox in the rip dialog for compilation artists?

What is your Audio Folder Rule for your rips?

  Tools > Options > File Location > Audio

Do the ripped tracks end up in the same folder (check using Windows Explorer)?

btw. it will be easier for others to read and help if there is a little more structure to the help request - a sea of words discourages some folks.

One thing I noticed is the name of the file should only be the name of the song. Delete the Artist name and the track number from the name of the file. The track number and Artist should be in their respective places in the Tag. That worked for me with the exception for 1 album I bought off of HDtracks. This album is called "Head Fi - Oper Your Ears". It just gets scattered everywhere in my collection. Does anyone have the solution to my issue?

jesseinsf,
no offense but file name has nothing to do with it you can name the file however you wish as long as it does not exceed 255 characters which is the max in windows.
I have had various name structures over 6 versions of MC and never had a problem. They have all been [track] - [name] at a minimum and up to 6 different fields in the name.

I'm aware of that, hence my 4 years in college for computer networking and repair. Most my issues were fix on what I stated. I think he is having the same issue as me currently with the one album that is scattered throughout my collection. It came from HDTracks. As you know I don't know everything and that is why I am seeking help too.

[MrC]

It is generally very simple:

1) Make sure all tracks for the album are in the same directory.

2) Assign exactly the same album name (copy the album name from one of the tracks, select all the tracks, and then paste the Album name into Album in Action Window > Tag, or in-pane editing).

Also make sure you're viewing by Album or have the view Group By set to Album.

The name of the tracks is not relevant.

Actually is you can spare the cash, get the Head-Fi album "Open your Ears" from HDtrack and tell me how you got all songs under one Album art picture (In Album view).

Or you could make the necessary number of tracks available so that I can see what my results are.   I'll toss them after testing.  I'm not interested in spending my $$$ on this experiment. :-)

I am sure I would do it the same as I do any other compilation album. As stated above use the [Album Artist] tag field and group by Album (not the Album that is in the "more sort groups..." menu they are not the same).

[Urbanito]

I don't know if I have the same problem with one of my albums imported from HDTracks.
Instead of having just one album with all tracks under the same cover, I have as many albums, with just one track,  as the number of tracks.All of them have the same art cover. It shows up as 12 albums, instead of just one.
I already posted about this, but got no answers.
