Defining an Album

[k000]

@luma

Hello there, new member here.
I have just downloaded a bunch of mp3 music from the net, most of it complete albums. Using the Explorer and MP3TAG, I organized the albums in directories, the same way as the WMP does when ripping the CDs, including the album art. In the MP3TAG everything seems to be correct, yet when I try to catalog the music either in WMP or in the Zune software, each mp3 file appears as a single album with one file in it. I have turned off the internet mp3 info auto update in both programs.
Is there a way to make a mp3 files compilation to be recognized as an album?
Your help would be very appreciated.
Cheers, Lumir

I know that you can select a bunch of songs and change the 'Album' on all of them and that way they will all show up under the same album.

But Zune has a double issue ( i know as I just bought one) that it also uses the band / Album Artist tag to sort and show songs. I am seriously looking for a way to autoamtically plop in the 'Artist' filed in 'Band' quickly for say 10,000 songs... and can't seem to find an easy way to do that.
