Various Artists as the album artist in each tracks metadata, with the actual artist name as the track Artist. Then rescan and if it gets pulled together, great. 

You have to actually edit the songs outside of Emby to effectively change those tracks for future-proofing.

Before 4.6 library content didn't have to be that way to work well, but now it has to, or else you'll have those single song albums. 

It you get it working, then any artist you have on those CD's with Artists very own albums, you'll see "Appears On" with the compilation album below that on each respective artists profile.

I keep my compilation albums in a separate music library since server 4.6 so my main album area stays neat, and "appears on" works well.

The structure of your music library in the settings of the server libraries section determines whether Emby will look in your folders for album pics pre-existing too. Perfectly will save all the image things in folders and find those pre-existing ones. Other is the mess situation which is how the server automatically is set once you are upgraded to 4.6 ... so you have to sort it out in the server and then scan.

The Emby Dance is sometimes needed too. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/98389-duplicate-track-results-in-search/&do=findComment&comment=1025879

@2ombieboy have you checked the embedded information within your audio files?

Each track of an album needs to be tagged consistently with the same album and albumartist values.

A tool like Picard can help automate this process for you 

Please let us know if this helps.
