This old thread covers the question I was about to ask in a new thread,
but my emphasis is slightly different from the previous discussion.

Consider a Mosaic box set, "The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings of
the Miles Davis Quintet 1965-June 1968." It contains the following
albums in their entirety: E.S.P., Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, Nefertiti,
Miles In The Sky, and Filles De Kilimanjaro. Numerous alternate takes
and previously unreleased tracks are also included.

I would like to be able to play this material either way: as the box
set, including the bonus tracks, or as the original albums without added
material. Just to add to the challenge, the original albums need to
appear as albums in LMS, so they have a chance of appearing in the
"Random Albums" list.

Symlinks were suggested as a way to achieve this, although one that
would be very complicated. No matter how complicated, I do understand
how that could work, since the album tags would be the same in the
original file and the symlink. If I have misunderstood something, I hope
somebody will enlighten me!

What would work best would be for this statement, in the popup for the
"Separator for Multiple Items in Tags" field on the "My Music" tab in
Settings, to be correct: "Logitech Media Server can extract multiple
artist, album titles and genres from the tags inside your music files."
As others have already reported, it does not currently work for album
titles, although it works very well for artists and genres.

Is there any chance that this might happen? Would it be better to ask
this question in the LMS forum?

Incidentally, I can also see a good argument for extending the
capability for multiple items within a tag to song titles, as well. It
would make it much easier to deal with medleys. But I won't ask for
that. Not yet, anyway!
