And if none of the above work, drag the files from iTunes to the desktop, delete them from your iTunes library, and re-add them. Actually four. Tried all of them, sometimes they do the trick, sometimes not. After deleting and re-uploading all the files times in a row, restarting iTunes and verifying all the metadata repeatedly I really wish there was a simple solution.
Your tip worked. FYI in one instance I also had to delete the artwork, then re-add it in order to get the audiobook files to group properly.
This should group them together as an album — then you can simply repeat the process and uncheck Compilation and they should stay grouped. Albums are often designed to be listened to as complete sets for instance movie soundtracks and Broadway musicals. I could sometimes change the metadata as suggested by other answers, but for some albums, couldn't find any metadata differences, and any changes I made had no effect.

They should appear grouped, but for some reason, iTunes splits them up and shows them as separate albums with the same name and details: I check the metadata and everything seems to be in order. Here are screen shots of the first two songs: Why is iTunes doing this? Thanks for your help!

The "Deluxe" version is a case in point. After the regular version is released for a certain period of time, a special edition called "Deluxe" version will be released.
The "Deluxe" version usually includes extra content added value that doesn't offer in the initial release, such as extra remix CD, extra tracks, live DVD, edits of album tracks, music video, demo recordings of album tracks, etc. Takeaway : Speaking of the album version, some of you might have known that Apple Music now offers a new feature called "Other Versions", which was first reported by Federico Viticci of MacStories. This feature helps you easily find the exact album version you like for by grouping all the different versions of the selected album together.
Open Apple Music on your iPhone or Mac, tap on an album, then scroll down and you will see a section called "Other Versions" listed below the track list.
This feature is not supported on iTunes for Windows. Reason 5: The album is released under different labels and publishers, but the songs are exactly the same. If there're multiple artists for a certain album, or if it is a compilation album, Apple will split up the album into individual albums which matches to the specific artists' name. It will also create a split when the Album Artist field and Artist filed are different on the sorting tab.
Apple localizes foreign bands and artists by displaying the translation of the album name and artist name. This will help those who don't speak, read or type that foreign language to search songs easily.
If you are using Apple Music in the U. Unless you are using one of the album columns as a sorting method, albums may be split up on screen. Running searches may also split up albums or hide some of your songs. Changing the view in iTunes or running a search doesn't change the physical location of tracks on disk or affect the metadata associated with them, but these operations can cause albums to be split up in the way they're displayed on screen. To avoid this you can mark all of the relevant tracks as part of a compilation: highlight all the songs in iTunes, right-click and choose "Get Info," then on the Options tab make sure the "Part of a compilation" option is set to "Yes.
