While what you're looking for makes sense, the server has no good way of
knowing that a single track doesn't actually comprise a full album. 
What if you have 2 tracks, or you have 8 out of 10 tracks from the
album?  At what point does it become an 'album'?

My suggestion would be to remove the ALBUM tag from the files.  There
are a lot of different things you can do with the data.  I would move
the album name to an unrecognized field, say ALBUMX or something.  Then
you have the data for the future if you need it.  You might add the
ALBUM to the track TITLE (and do the same with the original TITLE
data), e.g.

ALBUM=The Bends
TITLE=Fake Plastic Trees

becomes

ALBUMX=The Bends
TITLEX=Fake Plastic Trees
TITLE=The Bends - Fake Plastic Trees

One potential problem here is that all of the 500 assorted tracks are
going to end up in Squeezebox Server under a single pseudo-album called
'No Album'.  You won't be able to do much with it, as a list of 500
songs is pretty tough to work with.  You might use the ALBUM tag to
group things, roughly like you'd use genres or playlists.  Just
something so that you don't have such a huge conglomerate album to work
with.  Really, though, the only way to browse these tracks is by artist,
where the 'No Album' album will appear under the artist's name, but
would be filtered to only the tracks from that artist.
