Double hmmm..... I remember having that problem at one time, but that's
not what I'm getting on slimserver 6.5.2. I have a few cases with albums
of the same name (such as Unplugged) by different artists, and when I
browse by album, they show up separately. I would guess that SS uses
the artist and/or other tags to distinguish them, but haven't looked at
the code to verify.

I vaguely recall that once upon a time there was an option to specify
common album names that would get this special treatment, like
"Greatest Hits." I just looked through the SS settings and couldn't
find it -- was it dropped in one of the 6.x releases?
