Windows 10: Groove: Folder with various artists

I am still new to Windows 10, but i am slowly getting there.

I am in the process of transfering music from my old HDD to a new one used for Win 10.
I have a folder with various artist, i.e. different mp3s from different artists - sort of my own "greatest hits". Each MP3 file has it's own cover (picture) - used Mp3Tag to edit tags and add cover. In the old Win7 mediaplayer all of these mp3's were listed under each corresponding artist: let's say that in the folder i have a single song by Prince (When doves cry) and a single song by Bijelo Dugme (Hajdemo u planine), each of those would be listed correctly under the respective artist.

In Groove all music from my mixed folder are listed as belonging to the same album, and the cover/picture for every single mp3 in that folder is the same.

Question 1: Can files be organised in Groove without having to "belong" to an album?
Question 2: If i create a "My Greatest Hits" album for said folder (e.g. in Mp3Tag), can individual MP3's within that folder have different artwork? Or do they all have to have the same "album cover"?

:)

I solved it by doing the following! I'm not sure which step cracked the problem.

1. Set indexing to index the content of my music files by right clicking on the top level folder, setting the option and applying to all files and sub-folders
2. Rebuilt the index via the Control Panel Indexing options
3. Deleted the folders watched in Groove
4. Deleted the Groove database at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_<random>\LocalState\Database
5. Started Groove
6. Reassigned the folders to watch

All songs now appear with the right artist & album but some album art was missing in Groove and Media Player despite being displayed correctly in iTunes. I manually updated the missing album art in Media Player and Groove then synchronised to match the Media Player album art.

Each and every step was followed. Groove Music still shows that artist beginning with J under C. Other suggestions?

This worked! I was playing with disabling indexing since it was interfering with my backup procedures, but it caused this. (What broke it was right clicking the drives and turning off indexing for the whole drive). I'll try some other ways of limiting the indexing. Thanks kindly.
