Columns UI and Multi CD albums

Using multi CD albums of the same name, although I've distinguished which set of songs are in which of the three albums, I still get them compiling as one album, here:

How can I remedy the situation?

That's a sorting issue. Open Preferences (Ctrl+P) and go to Shell Integration. In the box labeled Sort incoming files by:, paste the following (you can omit the dashes if you want) or something similar:

Code: [Select]
%album artist% - %date% - %album% - %discnumber% - %tracknumber% - %title%

There's another box with the same label located under Display > Columns UI > Filter tab that you'll probably want to enter that title formatting into as well.

Do your files have DISCNUMBER tags to begin with?

go to preferences playlist/coloumns UI/playlist view/ then switch to grouping tab and use the desired TF to group according to the discnumber tag
something like this
Code: [Select]
%album% [Disc: %discnumber%]

No need to apologize. OP could certainly do what you suggested if he wanted the discs grouped separately, but there is no guarantee that the files would be sorted correctly.
