    music files not recognized as part of an album

    I am having trouble with getting a couple of music files recognized as part
    of an album in media center 2005 OS. Here's the situation:

    I had an album downloaded on my computer from a while back. I had initially
    obtained the files downloading from something like Kazaa I believe. It was then put into aac format for iTunes.

    I converted from aac format to wma using music converter. I made the files accessible in the windows media player library. When I try to play them in media center, 12 of the 14 tracks are recognized as part of the complete album (the cover art displays and the songs are fine), but the other 2 song files are placed into their own 'album' in media center with the same album title displayed but no cover art, as if the system does not recognize them at all. The songs can be played, but obviously the goal is to have the entire album imported into media center intact.

    My theory is that these 2 songs may have been downloaded differently from
    the other 12 at the time I initially retrieved them onto my computer and
    there is some sort of a tag that is not being recognized by windows to
    identify it as part of the full album.

    Any ideas on how I could fix this problem or what I should investigate?
    Thanks!

    Investigate the tag info on one file from each set. Check artist, year, album, and even genre. Make sure these match exactly.
