Under Albums MC only show one track but the same album has 8 tracks.
Since system cannot pick u the remaining tracks, is there a way to manually configure it.

From the attached screenshot I can see a 2nd album with the same cover art. That suggests to me that you've got inconsistent tagging in the [Album] field. If you make sure that the album name is the same, I'm confident that you'll find all the tracks will come together under 1 album listing.

I agree that this almost definitely a tagging issue. This is probably due to the naming of the original files which doesn't give the system much to work with because there are no delimiters between the information.

Personally I would settle on a better naming convention that makes it clear what tracks belong to what albums. So, for instance taking your example I would go with:

X:\AiffFlacWav
------Bobo Stenson
-----------Relections
-----------------01 - The Enlightener.aif
-----------------02 - My Man's Gone Now.aif
-----------------03 - Not.aif
-----------------04 - Dormattan.aif
-----------------05 - Q.aif
-----------------06 - Reflections in D.aif
-----------------07 - 12 Tones Old.aif
-----------------08 - Mindiatyr.aif


...or even use you existing names but put track numbers and delimiters in such as '01 - Bobo Stenson - Reflections - The Enlightener.aif'. At least then, even if the tags are not completely correct, you can use the 'Fill Properties From Filename' function to populate the tags correctly with the function '[Track #] - [Name]'


Good luck.

The other tag to check is Album Artist it needs to have the same value for each track

Yep .. overlooked that possibility.

You may have several problems together.  Hard to tell without looking at more information in MC.  A good way to do this, is to find out what Media Center thinks the album, artist, etc is set to for those files.  You can sort (or search) by file name using the Audio > Files view.  If you can find the files you are showing us, in that folder, that will help you figure out what the Album, Artist, and Song titles are for those files.

That being said, I think I have a clue to your problem:  You seem to have two different albums mixed up together.  Album 1, Reflections by Andy Williams:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflections_%28Andy_Williams_album%29

Album 2, Reflections by Bobo Stenson:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflections_%28Bobo_Stenson_album%29

I think you can probably get it sorted out, given that information.  Good luck!

Brian.
