The tags list for Now 71 CD
Shown above is the
ID tags for the Now 71 CD shown in a program called Tag&Rename,
more about that later.
As you can see each track is assigned the album name of "Now
71", however each track has a different artist which is what
causes Windows Media Center to start splitting the album into
separate albums determined these first 2 tags.
To overcome this problem we need to fill the "Album Artist" tag
which in my example is blank for all tracks. I will set this to
"Now Various Artists".
All done... this should now be listed as 1 album.

Player before changes will take effect.
