Lol, yeah, the music library is quite a pain, I've started running my albums through musicbrainz picard before adding to my xbmc library.
If you do use picard though, you will get best results doing a single album at a time, getting that right and saving it before starting another, loading lots of albums at once and trying to do it turned into a massive mess.
The way I do it is.
Most of the time this works fine. If it loads the tracks into different albums (on the right hand side) you can just drag them into the correct one.
I also have the settings set up to rename the files and save locally in my music folder so the files are clean of any other crap that might be in the folder.

- Start program
- Click add folder, and find the album folder
- Right click on the Unmatched files and click cluster
- Right click on the Cluster and click lookup
