Merge song feature #14

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When a duplicate is uploaded, many of the different versions of the song
may be in playlists, and have metadata associated with them. 

A merge song feature would allow you to merge multiple songs into a single
record. Their metadata would be combined (such as play counts and skips).
All but one of the files will be deleted by some heuristic. We could take
the md5sum and if they are all equal, only save one. Otherwise we could
pick the highest quality one -- or try to figure out if one of them is a
bad file (i.e. near zero length or low bit rate). This would also lend
itself well to having a 'similar songs page' where songs with similar names
are shown and you can easily merge them there. We could integrate
flowplayer to let you preview the songs to try and determine which one
should be the master version.

I want this, so I'm marking it high priority. Which probably means I'll
code it.
