I will try to restate my earlier question in a more comprehensible format: Is it possible that LMS thinks that a filename beginning " TS6-X" refers to disc number X of a multi-disc set? For that to happen, I think (but have no actual knowledge) that the following would be necessary: 1. In

To recap, it seems that LMS is taking album definition (grouping songs by album) from elements of the filename, and not just from the album name associated with the song in tags. This is an illustration of the situation, and a demonstration of the fix (which is just removing the initial filename

There is no difference in the tags. If I modify the filename (and only the filename) to eliminate the, for example, TS6-6, then the odd behavior stops, and all files are listed under one album. The behavior changes even though no tags are changed, only the filename. It's clear that the tags are

I have a series of DVDs from the Scottish/American co-produced series The Transatlantic Sessions, from the 90s through 2013. These feature musicians from the celtic tradition (Scottish/Irish mainly) and American roots musicians; they share common musical roots. The series were also released as
