Bug Description

The quintessential case: Let Go by Nada Surf versus Let Go by Avril Lavigne.

Perhaps the best way to do this is via a "musicbrainz_releasegroupid" tag attribute?

Revision history for this message
Chris Wagner (chris-wagner) wrote :

This was partially addressed a little while ago... The collection-monitor will now recognize a "musicbrainz_releasegroupid" tag (though, unfortunately, this tag will only be read for Ogg-Vorbis files as of now, because the TagLib library we're using for other formats will not read non-standard tag values). This "releasegroupid" will be passed to the collection-librarian, stored in the "albums" table, and used to differentiate between albums when it is set.
