To be considered part of the same album, tracks must have same AlbumTitle and AlbumArtist fields.

You can set these fields manually or use File->Maintain Library->Create multi-artist Albums.

What do you mean exactly?

The list of albums on left (above) is only suggestion.

For those that were already tagged you'll have to edit them manually.

For these albums, AlbumArtist must be the same as Artist.

For each album, select all its tracks, edit Properties, and change AlbumArtist.

Have a good day :)
