Q: Same author 4 times...

My libary is listing the same audiobook author 4 times with various books listed under each name. No matter how many times I verify all the information is exactly the same I can't get the listing to combine. Anyone have a fix?

Thanks for the reply. I've tried the above to the point of copy and pasting to make sure the entries are correct. To be more clear I have one author I follow for which I have over 20 books. Each book is listed and grouped properly, but the series is broken into 4 listings of the same author.
For example:
J. D. ROBB - books 1-10, 13,15,22
J. D. ROBB - books 12,16,30
J. D. ROBB - books 14,17,21

Instead of listing
J. D. ROBB - books 1-30

Hi again rndaisies ,

Is it possible that there might be other differences in the listings other than title? Maybe the books are grouped together by genre after author?
