I tried to search for previous posts on this... but couldn't find search terms that worked...I don't know how to explain this but the pic should explain it.  there were 2 CD's in this album.
The first one grouped all the artists in the same album (first tango album listed).  Ripping the 2ND CD separated the albums by artists.

How can I get the split CD tracks to show up in one album.  I've got lots of CD's like this - my album view will be unwieldy if I can't get them together. Also is there something I can do before ripping that will prevent this?

thanks.. bennett

Link them together using the Album Artist Tag.  See:

Would you mind sharing what search terms you used that did not work?  Maybe we can change the wiki so that it is easier to find this information?  This question seems to get asked about once a week.  There is a similar question just 5-posts below this one.

JRiver thinks tracks belong to the same album as 'Album' and 'Album Artist' are the same.
In the file view (bottom pane in your pic) display the column Album Artist (not to be mistaken for "Artist")
Set Album Artist to something uniform on the 2 CDs e.g. Various and put the indivdual artist in the Artist tag.
You might also label de CDs (Disk #) to sort them right

Change your view to group by [Album Artist (auto)] instead of [Artist]
