Hello

I just realized i hadn't tried deleting and reimporting, and it did solve my problem.
And yes, I did search the forum prior to posting.
I recently imported a few albums from files.
However, there are several albums where the same album appears as multiple albums. Picture:



I tried merging them by having pretty much the exact same info on all the tracks of the album, but it didn't help. Picture:



I tried checking all the boxes, so that they all had the exact same artist, album, year, genre etc. - no difference.
The tracks even have each their tracknumber.

It should be notes that the tracks are grouped. Picture:




Is there a way to fix this that I have not tried? Deleting and reimporting?
Thanks! 0eyvind
 
I searched, I even read the very thread you kindly linked me, but it didn't solve my problems.
I didn't say that I searched in my OP just for fun.

Make sure Album Artist and Album match exactly for all tracks. The best way to do this is copy and paste, or Get Info on the whole album and edit the info. Also, make sure the Sorting tab info is correct. If that doesn't fix it, delete the album from your library (Keeping the files), and re-import.

I am assuming you found the solution..?

Anyways, there are several techniques that i use. I will select all the duplicates, erase the artist name and album and click ok. I will then select the same files, and click "get info" and fill out the appropriate info. This usually works. Also, perhaps the option "part of a compilation" is clicked, and when you are trying to edit it, it will create new album art. You could also put these in a compilation, and it will have one album art.. I made a nice tutorial on this with pictures.. let me find it..
 
I'm sorry GGJstudios.
I did read the post, but I seem to have skipped the part you wrote about deleting and reimporting, and gone straight to what the OP quoted as the solution he used. And yes, I did solve my problem.
