It may need a full rescan rather than just a new and changed media files scan.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problem with similar album names from same artist
Applying some kind of disambiguation to the album title seems to be the most obvious choice.

OK, I'll go with that convention, it sounds pretty reasonable.

Maybe even approaching a state of elegance. LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

It's not elegant, but I would deal with this by changing the album title tags to, respectively "Evanescence (EP)" and "Evanescence (LP)". Wouldn't LMS then distinguish between them?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Problem with similar album names from same artist
Hi all, today I found out I am experiencing a problem with a rather unusual constellation: In my LMS media library I have an artist with two "albums" of the same title. How come? Actually only one is a real album while the other one is just an EP. (FYI: The band is Evanescence who released a self-titled EP in 1998 and a self-titled Album in 2011.) The problem is in the LMS UI where I don't see these two as separate albums, but they are merged together and shown as one album (see screenshot): 36444 (Note: The screenshot is made from the Material skin, however I get the same result with the Default skin.) Is there any way to tell LMS these are two different albums? If I cannot tackle this by myself, is there any chance to get a fix for this? E.g. based on the YEAR tag in the metadata of the file? Or based on any other tag(s) which would offer hints for resolving the ambiguity in such constellations, e.g. TOTALTRACKS, TOTALDISCS, LABEL, MEDIA, MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASEGROUPID, MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMTYPE, ... (just listing some potentially helpful tags I found in my media files) Thanks in advance!
