There's this one set of albums that, no matter what I try, I can't seem to Auto-Tag by Album. Might anyone help me to figure out why?:

I have about 1600 .mp3s from *The Complete Motown Singles*, volumes 1-11b. I can find them just fine on the MusicBrainz and FreeDB websites, so I know I have the albums and artists just as they should be; but when I try to tag them, the MusicBrainz search results come up in MusicBee with blank artist and track title fields, and the FreeDB search results don't come up at all. I have tried searching in MusicBee with and without disc #, with disc # of the volume and disc # of the set, with and without selected tracks on disc, with complete album titles and without, with and without tracks on album, etc. I have tried changing the priority of tag providers in preferences, and I have tried removing tag providers entirely (e.g., Gracenote, as I cannot independently see these albums on that website).

For example, when tagging The Complete Motown Singles, Volume 2: 1962, Disc 1 of the volume (disc 7 of the set), in MusicBrainz I find at https://musicbrainz.org/release/933b31be-107b-4687-b966-8a421a446181 the artists and track titles I want; but in MusicBee the artist and track title fields come up blank, as shown in this screenshot: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Aomj_fVe-Y4kgi8zfU0ckodZT7mp

What's going on?
