foobar2000 metadata dialog display tag values extracted from the http stream exposed by MinimServer.
That's why you see the real album name.

BubbleUPnP does not do that and rely on the XML metadata sent by MinimServer to BubbleUPnP when you browse an album
Usually this metadata matches the file tags metadata, but with MinimServer complex rules (it can rewrite titles and more)
not always.
When a track is part of a group, MinimServer set the group name as the album name for the tracks, identified as the XML <upnp:album>
element in the XML returned.
This can be visualized in BubbleUPnP if you use 3 dot menu on a track in a Group > Show Metadata: it will show the group name
for the "Album" field. The original album name is lost.
That grouping feature is non compatible with expected naming of booklet filenames in BubbleUPnP which requires
that the album name to be constant across all tracks of an album. I'm even surprised MinimServer mess with the album name
sent for implementing that grouping feature.

Maybe if you contact Simon about it on MinimServer forum, he we'll have an alternate solution.
