The logic here is a bit different, because, there are cases where one
album contains tracks by different artists.

However, if we just compare album names, albums like "Greatest hits" end
up wrong. One person might have multiple "Greatest hits" albums.

So, we came up with something that seems to work reasonably well.

If the directory the song resides in AND the album name are the same,
they are grouped together.

So, if they are not grouped together, it probably means the songs reside
in different dirs.
