Description Hidde Brugmans 2006-03-19 22:46:32 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
CD's with the same name should not be grouped in the browser

Example: 
Bryan Adams - Unplugged
is not
Eric Clapton - Unplugged

Same goes for "The Best" and "Best Of" albums, etc

The hard part is to do this right for mixed-artist albums of course.
Also, how should these be represented in the album browser.

like:
Unplugged (Eric Clapton)
Unplugged (Bryan Adams)

perhaps?

Steps to reproduce:



Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

This would also need to work for Various Artist albums.

I have The Beatles "1" and a Various Artist "1" that are being merged. It could pull out the "Album Artist" name to differentiate my Various Artists album from The Beatles. 

The only way that I can immediately think of to differentiate two Various Artists albums with the same name would be to do it on the basis of the MusicBrainz album/release ID, if present.

All of these methods (and any others people come up with) could be cumulative, as if it has a different Album Artist or MB release ID, it should be split.
