Solved: Auto-shuffle does not distinguish between different albums of same album title
#14
It was some years ago that I added the "red cover" Greatest Hits (the earlier Green/Kirwan/Spencer incarnation of the band) to library which already included the "green cover" Greatest Hits (the later Perfect/Nicks/Buckingham incarnation), but IIRC they all got lumped in together in Tag View, with doubled up track numbers:

1 The Green Manalishi....          <earlier GH>
1 Rhiannon                             <later GH>
2 Oh Well - Part 1                    <earlier GH>
2 Go Your Own Way                 <later GH>
etc.

In the end I fudged the album_name in the metadata to "Greatest Hits [1]" and "Greatest Hits [2]".

There can't be that many instances of this occuring in the pop/rock world, but I could see it being more of an issue in the classical world - conductors & orchestras have been known to make more than one recording of a particular work.
