As the snarlydwarf indicated, this is the "Greatest Hits" issue.  For cases 
like that, it would be obvious that there could be clashes of album name, and 
thus when tagging the album, you could change the name to "Queen Greatest Hits" 
and "Squeeze Greatest Hits".

But that isn't always obvious.  eg. I have album name clashes (same title, 
completely different artists, genre, etc), that I would not have thought about 
initially.

eg. I have two albums called "2", two albums called "Blue", three albums called 
"Planets", etc.

The correct thing to do is to assume that files in different folders are 
different albums.

There is however a way to get the scanner to realise that tracks in different 
folders are part of the same album, and that is to add COMPILATION=0.  Not sure 
if this is intentional, and whether it will always continue to work in the 
future, as it is a bit of a frig.  The presence of a compilation tag tells the 
scanner to join the songs together, but setting the tag to 0 tells the scanner 
that it is not actually a compilation album.
