Force Merge of albums

Innuos:

I have a few releases that show up as separate albums. No matter how closely I scrutinize the metadata that I can edit there is no difference that I can discern and the albums show up as separate. (and the album songs are not a different format). I would like an option to “force merge” the releases to one album. Any suggestions are helpful.

I have many multiple-disk releases (CD boxes) that show up as separate albums, all tracks labelled "Disk 1". "Set as Compilation" combines the separate albums into one, but overrides artist name by "Various Artists" and sorts by track numbers, i.e. all "Track 1" followed by all "Track 2" etc.. It would be convenient to change disk numbers in bulk rather than track by track. It would be more convenient to have “Set as multi-disk release” with the option to sort or change “disk number” before merge.

This has now been implemented as part of innuOS 2.4. You can check the details, including a small video to illustrate the use, on the Innsights blog:

We have now scheduled to be implemented in version 2.4 the ability to multi-select albums in the Album view and allowing 2 merge operations:

1. Set as Compilation - this will set the compilation flag on all the selected albums so they are seen as a single compilation
2. Set as Multiformat - this will set the Multiformat flag so that the same album with files in multiple formats will be seen as a single album.
