Not sure what’s happening - have you played with the track parser on the Edit > Tracklist page @DerekFerric? It can also automate filling out the tracklist for you, it’s great.
Depending on your programme (beets, foobar2000, MusicBee, MP3Tag) you can use one of these methods to copy and paste into the parser: Guide: Quickly Importing Releases/Tracklists from Files
Then you can see exactly what’s being copied in, and change your text/export code to match. That sounds more complicated than it is, it really is worth a quick look 
btw my offer to run you through any questions you have (maybe on Twitch?) still stands if you have any other that remain unanswered/confusing, PM me any time.
