Summary	0016647: Auto-tag: duplicate tracks confuses the auto-tagging algorithm for full albums
Description	If the user attempts to auto-tag an Album that contains duplicate tracks, the auto-tagging algorithm gets confused and: 1) Recommends incorrect track titles (even when the originals were correct 2) Recommends incorrect track #s 3) Plays the wrong tracks when the user initiates playback from within the auto-tag dialog 4) Incorrectly displays the playback status in both the tracklist and the NP list The video is kind of long, but it's hard to explain otherwise https://www.screencast.com/t/gJAUoLhUx Note: this issue was originally mentioned in the note at ~58162 but it's in fact a completely different issue than 0016638.

petr 2020-05-25 15:44 developer ~0058262	About album detection ... algorithm to detect albums always trying to locate album with more or same number of tracks need to be tagged. For example when user select 15 tracks from same album (13 original and 2 duplicates), algorithm automatically compare _only_ with albums with 15 or more tracks. Will add a code to detect duplicate tracks. items 3 & 4) playback status in NP is fixed, but in Auto-tag isn't because tracks in auto-tag have disabled notifications (unnecessary changes etc.)

rusty 2020-05-28 15:43 administrator ~0058355	This doesn't appear to be fixed for the original usecase (The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night with duplicate tracks 7 and 8). Auto-tag recommendations are to split the album into 5 albums! hard-days-night-original-metadata.jpg (55,110 bytes) hard-days-night-original-metadata.jpg (55,110 bytes) hard-days-night-lookup-results.jpg (67,621 bytes) hard-days-night-lookup-results.jpg (67,621 bytes)
