Music Albums Listings

When I go to my music in Windows 7 Media Center, some of the albums are
displayed more than once, but one of them will only have one song in it and
the other will have all the songs, including the first one. I have looked
at the tags for the album and all songs have the same tags as far as artist,
album, album artist. Is there a tag to "bind" them together? Thank you

My approach to this is to copy the text out of Album on the one that has the
most tracks and paste into the others. If that doesn't work look at all the
metadata, genre, composer, etc. Bet there is something different, a space,
an apostrophe, something. Don't know why it does it in the first place.

Is it possible that some tracks from those album exist in multi locations on
the computer and the library is finding both copies?
