What is recognised as an 'album'?

This is to prevent albums like 'Greatest Hits' or 'Beethoven Symphony No. 9' by many different artists being merged together into a single album.

It is also necessary to have the mergeFolderAlbums property set to true (see this section).

Thanks for the response. The album artist is the same for all tracks, the album title is the same, the genre is the same and the disc number is the same, composer and track artist varies.

I think I might have a clue for one of the problem albums. The track titles include square brackets, for example: "Twelve microludes for string quartet: 11.[1/1 = 20]". Is it possible that the algorithm for recognising disc number is interpreting this as separate disks and that is causing a problem?

Note that my MinimServer installation (QNAP apps, version 0.8.4 from memory) is not splitting other albums according to disk, but properly merging them.
