for some reason stuff like the jojo's venture dreamcast OST and the hotline miami ost has the album separated because of the different artists, how do i merge them so its just one thing?
same goes for the crazy taxi trillogy OST, it separates the album into multiple because of the artists

For the ones that are not joined together, you might try editing the meta tags of those files such that the Album Artist is the same for all of them (something like "Various Artists" or "Name of Album Artists").  Most likely, those files just have Artist (ie Track Artist) entered with the Album Artist being blank or the same as Artist.

Anyway, it groups albums by Album and Album Artist.  If Album Artist is missing, then it seem to group by Album and Artist.

That's what I think is going on anyway.

Go to Preferences -> Media Library -> Local Library -> View Filters tab -> turn off the option for 'Use Album Artist when grouping the Album & Album Art filter results' & see if that helps or not. Really you need to have the same albumartist set to avoid ambiguity though changing that prefs option will try a slightly different mode which might work better when its missing / incomplete & makes more use of the location of the files as a different way to determine what is an 'album'.

J'avais le même problème, la duplication de pochettes pour un même album, tagué avec différents noms d'artistes avec Mp3tag. J'ai appliqué la solution de Dro, c'est parfait, ça fonctionne.
