Imported CD Filed Incorrectly

I'm importing old CDs into Apple Music. However, Music sometimes insists, using its own bizarre logic, on filing a CD under, say, Artist rather than under Album. How can I move such an imported CD to be filed under the Album category rather than under Artist?

BP,

While the CD is still in the drive, but before you start the import, you can edit the track info via right-click > Get Info. Edit as necessary to make sure the Artist and Album info for all the tracks is to your liking. Upon import, Music will use that data to file the CD.
