Make 2 CD Rips into 1 album

I got a bunch of old CD that I ripped and lots of them were 2 and 3 CDs. Is there a way to combine them so they can be listed under one album instead of being CD1 songs 1 to 10, CD2 songs 11 to 20 can I somehow convert them to 1 CD with 20 songs on it?

Yep, you need to change the metadata for the files. MP3 files metadata is called the ID3 tags. You can use the software that you used to rip the tracks, or you can use a third party tag editor software like MP3Tag ( Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...) ).

Change the album tag to the name of album instead of Album (part 1) and Album (part 2), and then you should be good.

Depending on how the CD was tagged, you may also want to renumber the track numbers. If Album (part 2) was numbered 1-10, for instance, then when you combine the two parts into a single album, Groove will play them out of order, since there will be two track 1s, two track 2s, etc. You'll want to renumber 1-10 on the second half to 11-20.
