My library is all .flac files with only UTF8 flac tagging.  For
example,
E:\Music Vault\Music\Mahler, G\Mahler Symphonie Nr. 9 CD 1\*.flac
E:\Music Vault\Music\Mahler, G\Mahler Symphonie Nr. 9 CD 2\*.flac

On CD1 tags "DISCNUMBER" = 1; "TOTALDISCS" = 2; "ALBUM" = Mahler
Symphonie Nr. 9
On CD1 tags "DISCNUMBER" = 2; "TOTALDISCS" = 2; "ALBUM" = Mahler
Symphonie Nr. 9

The album showed up as 2 albums.

Now, without doing anything.  I just moved all .flac files from the CD2
directory to the CD1 directory and do a rescan.  The album then listed
correctly as a single album.  If I then move the files back to the CD2
directory and do another rescan, SC list them as 2 albums again.

The only difference from your system may be that all my tags and file
names are of UTF8 type rather than ANSI.
