Seems there is a lot of stuff going on about this, however all theories put forward so far do not seem to account for what is happening to me.... mainly as I keep each disk (and each album) in a distinct folder and my problem is not cured by opening the files in MP3Tag and resaving the files. Anyway. I'm giving up now and setting the Compilation = 1 tag, deleting the database and rescanning. If that doesn't work it's back to 6.2.2.
