double checked the files, all have same album in the tag, all in the same folder. I am new to this skin, where else should i check?

Is the album multi-disc? If so, make sure they are set to combine. Otherwise, what is the current titleformat being used for grouping?

Seems the issue appear with multi-artists albums, one album entry is generated by artist, I didnt find out how to solve it by myself. Appreciate if you can provide a fix.

Appart this the skin is really good, I like it.

hello i am use default sort, and combine all track of multi disk is ticked.

~ZP(%KFRVDS0UI@TA3E9JZF for example, all songs from this folder will end up with their own individual album in the library, with each album just contain one song. 3PE%Y~123B3_4$S6Q64WX~2

seems right, all of them have different artist, althought they are from same album. I wish there is way to force it, just let it ignore the artist, sololy sort on album. which all my files are sorted by album via folders correctly.

About multi artists album, you must use the field %album artist% and set it to (for example) "Various artists". But judging from your screenshot, there is another issue, which isn't a grouping issue but a sorting issue first. One group is a bunch of consecutive tracks which match a grouping pattern. If the tracks aren't consecutive, even if their grouping pattern match, they won't be grouped.

Default sorting = no sorting at all. So it depend of the sorting of the tracks sent by the filters on the left (if you use them)

Hello Ottodix, thanks for the information. Using correct tagging information in the field %album artist% it fixed my issue.

Thx Again for your support.

i still dont know how to fix it, i cant find any sorting options. so what should i put in those 2 fields?

For the filters (genre/album/artists), sorting can be edited (right click > settings > group / sort by) For the library tree, it depend of the view used. If you use "view by folder structure", then it sort by filename. So you'll have to rename the files. Other "view by..." option sort the child tracks of a node using the displayed tag (So View by Genre for example sort by %genre% > %album% > %title%
