It seems to matching to deluxe edition: https://musicbrainz.org/release/4839b9f7-4512-4d33-ac97-8d2852ff3ff0 3. One problem is that Audio Tracks are matched with DVD video files 4. Maybe there should be an option to 'Allow special editions', just like Allow compilations |

I was able to replicate a similar issue with Aerosmith Greatest Hits. Auto tag changed the Album, Year, Track# metadata from: https://musicbrainz.org/release/76d525e7-4488-4530-be16-0c52fcdc4fbd to some mix of releases of that Album resulting in four tracks being labelled as track #1! A similar issue occurs with R.E.M. - Eponymous ; the lookups are split across multiple releases of the album causing track numbers to change incorrectly. |

When I try to look up: April Wine - Greatest hits ( https://musicbrainz.org/release/c65cabc6-e749-4da6-9ab4-a6360af3af23 ) --> It starts looking up metadata and then: Error code: The given parameters do not match any available query type for the release-group resource. |

When I try to look up Dirty Dancing Soundtrack ( https://musicbrainz.org/release/333a3e35-4251-4962-a2b1-5b2507ca0044 ), Auto-tag splits the lookup across 2 releases of Dirty Dancing and some other Top 40 album! Similar issues for 'The Big Chill' soundtrack. Compilation albums such as Pure Funk or Women & Song also have the same issues |

Tested 3064: ONJ - verified Aerosmith - Not fixed. Recommended album is a superset of the actual album (see attached)! R.E.M. - Not fixed. MM still finds all tracks from 'The Collection' instead of Eponymous! April Wine - Partially fixed. An error still appears, but the recommended metadata is split across 2 albums! Pure Funk - Not fixed - metadata is split across numerous albums! I haven't tested Dirty Dancing and The Big Chill since they're not yet fixed. image.png (164,102 bytes) image-2.png (196,832 bytes) image-3.png (187,235 bytes) |

So it turns out that the remaining issue only occurs when 'Prefer faster metadata lookups when possible (instead of slower audio fingerprinting)' is disabled (it's enabled by default). Nonetheless, I wouldn't have expected the option to negatively affect results. In the cases above I'd have expected that it might change the title but that auto-tag would still be able to determine whether a set of tracks are from a single album or not (especially with the compilation option enabled, but even if not, auto-tag should be able to determine if a set of tracks are part of an album--although this is complicated since in some cases it may be preferable to find the first instance of the track). Possible improvements: a) a fix (TBD -- as described above, it's unclear what behavior would be best) b) make this option a 'run-time' option like compliations so that users can choose what approach to take for a given set of tracks c) rename the option to make it clearer that it ignores existing non-title metadata d) add a tooltip to clarify Given that it's enabled by default, we should probably push this and examine possible optimizations post-5.1. |
