This is usually an issue with incorrect file tags, namely the Album Artist tags aren't populated. Any digital audio player or at least the vast majority that aren't defective will honour the tagging standards like this so this is not unique to moOde.
If you have a bunch of files with different artist tags and matching album tag they'll appear as different albums by different artists if there's no common album artist tag, setting these files' Album Artist tags to Various Artists will fix your problem. Which is perfectly logical as there are many albums that have been released throughout time that have the same title.
Thanks for the help Vinnn, That I think makes sense now its been explained, very useful to know. Thing is I can't yet find my way around MOODE can you please tell me where I can find the Album Artist tag. The closest I can see is in Appearance/library/Albumview sort order/ and that's not what you are refering to I'm sure.... FYI, The Albumview sort order is set to "Artist", the Tag sort order is set to "Artist" and compilation identifier to "Various Artist".
