How can I add a CD to an existing compilation in Apple Music?

Using Apple Music version 1.3.6.14 I'm having a problem. I have a compilation (pic below/left) that includes 7 CD's identified as Disc 2, Disc 5, Disc 6, etc. and another CD (pic below/right) that needs to be added to it.

I've tried dragging and dropping Disc 1 on the compilation and going through various menu commands without any luck.

Can anyone tell me how to do this, please?

You'll need to edit the song info for each song in the errant album to match the Compilation album.

With the album opened, Right click, control+click, 2 finger click, or click on the (...) icon on each song, then on "Get Info", and edit the info so it correctly matches the Compilation Album. (Probably removing the [Disc 1] section of the Album title for each song.

The make sure the songs also have the correct track and disc number in their Info.

This should automatically merge the songs to the compilation albums. Once the last song is merged, the errant album should disappear.
