Removing the hyphen worked. Thanks for your help.

Doesn’t the “Lady & the Unicorn” constitute an “album folder” beneath the artist’s name and above the tracks themselves?

From your screenshot above I couldn’t tell that you have an album folder at all.
It looks as if you had the tracks directly in Music\John Renbourn

I just wanted to mention this whole VARIOUS ARTIST sort thing is a flaw. No other music player sorts like this. I went back and fixed all my VARIOUS ARTISTS tags with blank for ALBUM ARTIST so the individual tracks sort by artist instead. But guess what? The Tidal integration brings the head ache back. I added the BIG LITTLE LIES soundtrack to my library via Tidal and it enters it into my library as VARIOUS ARTIST and the individual tracks if you click on the artist name it goes to VARIOUS ARTIST not the actual track artist. Guys, PLEX gurus, this is a major flaw in a service that is known for easy library sorting. This needs to be fixed or no one will take your music service seriously. I have literally hundreds of tracks that I had to edit to fix, and not TIDAL is a no-fix scenero since I can’t edit their music tagging (obviously)

Try selecting all songs in the same disc and changing the artists disc by disc. I got mine working at times.

Totally agree.
