First, thanks to each of you who responded to my original post about
this topic. slartibartfast's comment about Disc number seemed to me
correct (why, after all, have such a tag if not for this reason) so I
re-tagged files so that CDs are indicated with a Disc number. On rescan
many of them now "appear" correctly, but some 40 operas are like the
following.

Here is the Sawallisch Ring, one folder for the whole ring, separate
folders for each CD of the four operas:

33778

Here is what they look like in mp3tag, screen shot shows CDs 2, 3, 4, 5,
and 6 (parts of 2 and 6), showing they do have correct Disk numbers
(which is true also for the discs/tracks not shown):

33779

There are no odd Extended tags:

33780

Yet, here is what these operas look like in LMS :-(

33781

I note there is a second opera in this screen cap, the Turandot, that is
also a multi-CD opera, tracks in separate folders, yet with Disc number
set "correctly" in mp3tag, that is showing as two items in the list
rather than a single Album

Is there no way to defeat this behavior? I have a LOT of opera, nearly
all of which are multiple CDs (I have 13 recordings of the complete Ring
cycle and only four of them do not exhibit the behavior I describe
above). It seems bad that I should have to move all of the audio files
into the same folder (especially for the Ring cycle where the total
tracks exceed 100) for doing this requires renaming the tracks/files so
that they indicate which opera they are part of (Das Rheingold, etc.)
and their ordering. mp3tag makes doing this kind of editing easier, but
it is still very time-consuming.

Thanks.
