Hello, some albums aren't merging despite all the tags being the exact same except for the title of the songs. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work, is it just a bug?

Thanks.

Any small differences could prevent albums merging - maybe a SPACE or unidentified gremlin in or at the end of; Artist, Album Artist or Album Title perhaps??
Try selecting 1 track and editing / COPY then edit / PASTE into remaining tracks by selecting all tracks from problematic Album..

Also, look at what fields are set in Edit->Preferences->Sorting/Grouping->Grouping.  You may have albums defined by additional tags that you don't realize.

If you select an entire album and then open the tag editor, any tags that are different between the tracks will show as 'mixed.' Obviously the track titles will be mixed, but the others should be consistent. If not, you need to find the one(s) that are different and make them consistent.
