Although I recorded and edited whole LPs together, when I run Media Player 10
it sometimes splits the songs into 2 different catagories such as "AEROSMITH"
and "Aerosmith (Done with Mirrors)" and saves some as one and some as the
other. What gives?

Your Album Artist field is not the same for all tracks. The Album Title
and Album Artist fields must both be identical (except for letter case)
for the tracks to be identified as the same album.

Those fields were added to the song files I'm presuming by WMP since I did
not have the option of filling them in when I made the recordings. How do I
edit them?
