I've appended a screen shot of the tagging for the Robert Levin CD that
I showed earlier.  It looks correct to me. So I still suspect it is
something in ACC.  

When I do a fresh SBS scan of my library, I get an album count of 2553.
When I then run ACC, I get an album count of 2566, with a track count
that matches SBS.  So ACC sees 13 more albums than SBS does. By
comparing the ACC Quick Reference with the SBS Music Folder display, I
have identified exactly 13 situations where I have non-consecutive
tracks from the same CD in the same folder, and ACC displays the
non-consecutive tracks as separate albums.  So this would account for
the discrepancy in statistics.

Using the "Use folder structure to determine albums" does not affect
this non-consecutive track issue, but it does correctly handle the
situation where a folder contains tracks from 2 CDs is displayed. (That
happens when a long piece is split over two CDs and I re-combine the two
parts as a single folder):

When I set the "Use folder structure" option in ACC and ran it again,
now I get an album count of 2550, so 16 less than without that option. 
All 13 of the 'non-consecutive tracks' folders are still displayed
incorrectly as multiple albums, so the new lower album count is not due
to that being corrected.  However, comparing the two Quick Reference
printouts, I can identify exactly 16 situations where I had tracks from
two separate CDs in the same folder. These 16 two-CD folders are
displayed as two albums in the 'regular' ACC (because the tracks are
tagged as coming from two CDs) but with the "use folder structure"
option, they are correctly shown as one album. So that option generally
works right but still has the non-consecutive track problem.

This is not a big problem for me, so don't waste a lot of time on it.
I'm sure you have more important tasks to tackle.  I just thought that
it may be a simple coding thing where you break out a new album when
the track number sequence is interrupted. If you can fix it, great, and
if not, ACC is still a great program.

Thanks,
Swimmer
