Assuming that you mean different TRACKNUMBERs and TITLEs when you say 'different tags' then this is how albums should be stored (one CD per folder), it's how I store all mine and it's working fine for me.

I am talking about the last example below.

Two files have exactly the same tags, but different files names (I wrongly tagged hidden files in the same way as the last unhidden track) > year is displayed

Do you mean they have the same tags except the TITLE tag?

No, even that had been the same. Only the filename differed.
It was Nirvana's "Nevermind", which has a hidden track. The last track continues playing silence until music starts again. I split them into two tracks and just renamed the file. Both files had identical tags (also title and track-no)
The year was visible.
I corrected the title and tracknumer: the year disappered

Unless I'm mistaken you're saying:
one folder
all share same album name, album artist and date
different track numbers and titles

Exactly!

I agree. It is hard to describe and - for the reader - to follow.
With Mp3Tag it is possible to export the tags-data into a TXT.
