    Same album, same album artist, same artist, same kbps, same genre, same everything. Why does iTunes split the album into two?

    Check your tags. You probably have something off.

    ID3 Tags, formats, and sample rate are all the same. The only thing that's different between the 13 songs in the album are the composers. But it's not like 1-9 have the same composer, and 10-13 have another composer.

    I should say that for Album Artist section, it was originally "k-os" and did not have the split. I changed it to "K-Os" and the split appeared.

    Have you got 'part of compilation' I cant remember what its exzactly called but that enabled when you select the 13 files? Also clear out all of the 'sort by' artist album etc.

    A trick I learned is to change the album to something else and then change it back for everything at once (highlight all, change, change back). That always worked for me.
