For a single-artist album with a different artist name for each track (for example "Alice feat. Bob" , "Alice feat. Carol"), the `Album Artist` tags must be the same ("Alice") for all tracks. +Additionally, all tracks in an album must be tagged with the same release date. Navidrome will use the `RELEASEDATE` tag (`TDRL` in id3) if present, and will fall back to the `DATE` (`TDAT`) tag otherwise. + Also, take a look at the [Persistent IDs](/docs/usage/configuration/persistent-ids/) feature, which can help you group tracks that belong to the same album, even if they have different artist. You can group tracks by `folder`, for example, by setting the configuration option `PID.Album="folder"`. Check the [PID documentation](/docs/usage/configuration/persistent-ids/) for more information.
