System information

Expected behaviour / actual behaviour

Expected behaviour: if I have two versions of the same album, they could be separated in clementine too Actual behaviour: different versions of the same album are mixed in the same "album" section in clementine, so it seems there are duplicates

In your tags, you have the same album name. To Clementine, same album name == same album. Augment the album name with something that Clemantine can then use to differentiate the two.

In the real world an album name is the same for two versions of the album, in my opinion using the album name to split groups of songs is wrong. If we have a special edition of an album, it will have the same album name of the standard version for sure. Edit the album name shouldn't be the right solution in my opinion. For example "Expanded Edition" shouldn't be part of the album name.

I get what you don't want, and I can see why. So what do you think it shoud do? What it is doing is a very consistent strategy based on the tag metadata. There are options on how the tags are used to group (like including year or not), but I'm not clear if these would meet your needs - if there was a full "date" then that could perhaps disambiguate the two. Is it really asking to much to ask you just to add "(with bonus disk)" to the left hand one? How would you like them to appear? (Actually - I did just notice that there is a "TIT3" id3 tag for "album sub-title". Might be an option (if exposed)?)
