I said this in 2004. Come on.:
What needs to happen is to have a many to many relationship between songs and albums. Sites like FreeDB and CDDB need to have a concept of what's a verbatim repeat (like the example above) and what's not (like the pretty decent live version of Ruby Tuesday on Flashpoint). Then we can have an mp3 player that's worth its salt. Search for everything on Rolling Stones, the original version of Ruby Tuesday's there. Search for everything in Between the Buttons, you'll get that same entry. Same for The London Years. Not the same, obviously, for Flashpoint. And you'll get all your settings and properties for that entry in all [of the first] three listings.
