I’ve got a copy of “All Things Must Pass” by George Harrison. This is the 2001 reissue. The song titles for the second disk keeps coming back with the titles for the songs from the first disk. Any advice would be helpful
Can you explain in more detail what is happening for you? I first thought you are maybe looking up the CDs in your drive directly, and there are wrongly attached disc IDs, but that seems not to be the case on
So what software do you use and what steps do you take?
If you are using foo_musicbrainz, for instance, as CD2 has same track amount as CD1, you have to use some disc selector near the middle of the screen to choose your CD2 after selecting your edition and before applying tags.
Yes, my machine is a LinuxMint 17.3 system. I am using ripit 3.9.0. The disc is label cd2, when I play the disc the songs are what is listed on the CD case. When I run ripit I get the following.

Notice that the Discid that is returned, Discid: YT62afgXa9Br7v74A.RrSMwdldg-, does match the second disc in the set.
Yes, that’s actually the disc ID for the seond disc, see Disc ID “YT62afgXa9Br7v74A.RrSMwdldg-” - MusicBrainz (edit: sorry, misread your comment, I originally wrote “No”)
Also the freedb requests look good, see the second request clearly returning disc 2: http://freedb.musicbrainz.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi?cmd=cddb+read+misc+000237f2&hello=RipIT+www.suwald.com/ripit/ripit.html+RipIT+3.9.0&proto=6
I suspect something else is going on here. I don’t know ripit, but it looks to me it is using the old deprecated MusicBrainz web service version 1, which does not support the multiple discs and returns therefore something that looks like a single disc release. Compare this WS1 result to the result of the current WS 2.
For why ripit is using both the freedb gateway and the web service, when it could just use the web service directly, is beyond me. But if I’m correct the best fix would be to have rippit support the new web service since the old one will go away completely at some point anyway.
Looked a bit deeper, like suspected, ripit does use the WebService::MusicBrainz Perl module, and that is using WS1 
The ripit website talks about the --mb parameter, I suspect you use it. If I understand it correctly calling ripit without this parameter will it use only the freedb data, which should at least give you the correct track titles in the multi-disc case here. But of course you will probably miss some advanced data not available via freedb (if ripit makes use of that at all).

I use sound juicer to rip my CD’s in Ubuntu.
This will look up musicbrainz to get track information and save some of the tags including the musicbrainz artist, recording and release ID.
I then use Picard to update all other tags and embed cover art.
So perhaps try different software and see if that works better for you.
