On a CD, song 2 separates it from the rest

[Herchi]

I have tried deleting all the tags with mp3Tag and putting them back but the problem persists

Your image shows that the files all have the same Album Artist and Album name so should be seen as the same album (depending on settings).

First check that the value stored in the Year field in MusicBee is the same for all the tracks of the album:
Right click on the single track > Edit - check value set in Year field.
Compare this with the values in the Year field for the grouped tracks and make sure they are all identical.
(You need to do this in MusicBee as it handles the Year tag slightly differently than mp3Tag).

If this does not work, could you let us know your 'Sort By' settings and also a screenshot of your Preferences > Sorting/Grouping settings.

In android with MusicBee Remote I see 11 tracks without rare order.

This is like '02' was bad but I try '2', '08' and nothing but I must in sorting/grouping settings to no order by number.

OK, so in your first image you are using <Track Count> to define an album (not a good nor useful idea) and track 2 is split - this suggests that you have a different value for track count set for this track compared to the rest in that album.

In your third image , when you do not do this, everything looks okay - doesn't it?

I don't understand why sorting by song number is a bad idea. Anyway, with this trick I can see all the songs in the correct group.

Anyway, I think it's a bug in MusicBee when dealing with those songs (I've deleted all the info with mp3Tag and reset it and the same thing still happens)

Anyway, I'll leave it. Thanks

can you send a link to a zip of the first 3 files in the album?

all good here. The only thing i can think of is check how you are sorting the tracks in the main panel eg. you might be sorting by date added.
Also try rescanning the files using right click/ send to/ rescan files

I dont think you have understood. Click the Album and Tracks button in the main panel header/ Sort By

yes, I dont understand: I can't find that option.

This section is not sorting - it is grouping. MusicBee uses these fields to define what is an album. For example, in the above image, if the Album Artist and the Album are all the same over a set of tracks, then MusicBee will treat all these tracks as a single album.

You are adding 'Track Count' to this list. Track Count is the total number of tracks on an album (not the track number). You can check this for any file by right-click on that track > Edit:

The highlighted area (Track 02 of 11) shows the Track No (02) and the Track Count (11)

Since your album is being split when you are adding this field then you must have a different value of Track Count set for this file when compared with all the others.
The files you uploaded were fine, and you say that you deleted everything in Mp3Tag, so I can only think (as Steven suggested) that you have not rescanned these files in MusicBee. To do that:
   Select all the tracks of the album > right-click > Send To > File Rescan


Sorting:
I'm not sure that the Sort By setting is an issue here, but Steven was referring to this:

(and this is how you set the sorting on a particular view)

[Herchi]

I was certainly confusing track number with track count when grouping albums (now I understand why it's a terrible idea)

Now I think it's a bug in mp3Tag: when I click on delete ALL tags it doesn't delete the track count tag.
I also can't find a way to see that tag in mp3Tag in the main view: when I customize the panel view and add fields I can't find it. Anyway, deleting ALL should delete all tags.

I might complain at https://community.mp3tag.de/t/remove-tag-does-not-remove-all-the-tags/65276 hehe

I can delete it from musicBee (although it's not a program specifically for that) and now at least I know that things like that can happen.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Herchi,

It appears there is a bug in MusicBee which retains the Track Count data even when the tags are deleted (either through the Tag Inspector or through an external app). I am assuming that MusicBee retains it in its database file.

I logged a bug report last night and Steven has already fixed this pending the next update - see this post
