[bug] Two versions of the same album (FLAC and MP3) get merged into a single album #965

It often arises that you have several versions of the same album in your music library, such as an MP3 version and a FLAC version (not all music players support FLAC). Several media players are able to treat this case correctly and show two separate albums (Kodi and Jellyfin are two such cases). However, with Nextcloud music (v1.5.1), these two albums get merged into a single album with two versions of each track. This makes it impossible to listen to the album as each track is repeated, and it is not possible to specify which version you prefer. When using the built in ampache and subsonic servers, all the clients that I have tested (such as DSub) show the same behavior.

Given that Kodi and Jellyfin are able able to deal with this scenario, there must be a solution for Nextcloud music!

+1 for this. I often have multiple MP3/WAV versions of the same album or song when sending over different mixes and masters, so being able to play them without repeating each song thrice would be beneficial in my use case.
