Description bill p. (aka google01103) 2011-09-09 18:26:39 UTC
Version:           2.4-GIT (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

in merge view songs with the same name, different lengths and different track numbers (when in same album) are determined to be duplicates and not shown individually in the collection. This is especially problematic if there is one collection and the "duplicates" are in the same album and folder 

ex of duplicate tracks in folder:
artist - album - track 01 - song-title-dup.mp3
artist - album - track 02 - song-title-2.mp3
artist - album - track 03 - song-title-3.mp3
 ........
artist - album - track 08 - song-title-dup.mp3

in the collection only one track shows with no track number:
year - album
>song-title-dup
>01 - year - album - song-title-2
>03 - year - album - song-title-3
.......
>13 - year - album - song-title-13

not sure if the duplicate process should be disabled if there is only 1 collection (as was my case) or if other criteria should be considered such as length or when multiple songs with different track numbers appear in the same album/folder

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
click "merge view"

Actual Results:  
see details

Expected Results:  
all individual tracks should be shown

dev's may not consider this a bug
