They *are* being recognized the right way...they are being recognized
the way you told whatever to recognize them. Computers can't read
your mind, merely sort by ASCII value.
There is no way to put "Greatest Hits (Beatles)" and "Greatest Hits
(ABBA)" into the album field of the tag and have anything consider
them as the same album because the data is different...different data
= different album.
All you can do is use "Greatest Hits" as the album field and the group
name in the artist field. Or use "Greatest Hits - Beatles & ABBA" as
the album field, group in artist field if you have other "Greatest
Hits" albums which you probably do since the music companies LOVE to
make them.
